watch out for the dragon

I thought it was funny today when Chloe and I were playing... she was a princess and told me to be the prince... we were dancing when she suddenly yelled "watch out, it's a dragon!" pointing at sweet little Maggie who was crawling towards us. :-)

Chloe has a crush....

Chloe is watching Toy Story 2 for the 3rd time and I was asking her what her favorite part is... she said "Buzz Lightyear... (long pause) .... He's tute (cute)..." she then looks down and giggles. I think she might have her first crush. so funny!

She was also playing hide and seek yesterday in the backyard (alone) and I asked who she was playing with.. "Buzz Lightyear" :-)

ABCDEFG.....HIJKLMNOP.....QRSTUV......WXYZ.... Sing with me!

Ok, so we have officially fallen off the face of the Earth....

I know, I know.... it has been WAY too long. Had Maggie even come into this world when I posted last? I don't think so . There is just no way that I can adequately catch up..especially considering how little time I have these days.. (I have gotten up to relocate Maggie 3 times during this post already) She is a crawling and exploring machine!

Maggie is 8 months old now! She is such a sweet baby. I think she is going to be goofier than Chloe (who definitely has her serious side which is balanced with the silliness that she gets from her Daddy) Maggie has been very easy as far as babies go. She started sleeping through the night at around 9 weeks (6 hour stretches) and goes to sleep in her bed- no rocking required-in complete opposition to her older sister at this age. :-) Maggie has recently learned how to crawl, wave, clap, and pull up on all the furniture. It is an adventure around here.
Chloe is growing up so very fast! She will be 3 on June 4th but we have to constantly remind ourselves that she is only 2 because she looks and acts so much older. As I said earlier, she is quite the silly little thing and oh so witty! She is all girl: She loves to dress up like a princess, do "ballet", play with baby dolls and her dollhouse, and she LOVES all of the Disney princesses. Our trip to Disney was probably one highlights of her young life! She loves to learn and we are so proud of all that she is learning. She knows all of the alphabet (upper and lowercase) , the days of the week and can count to 15...most of the time. Her favorite time of day is when we are doing "school" and she would do that all day if I had the time.

Here are a few pictures of how the girls are looking these days! Enjoy!

An Update

So things have been busy here and our family blog seems to be falling to the bottom of Mommy's ever expanding list... sorry!

Little Maggie will be hear really soon! She is scheduled to be delivered 2 weeks from today on Ryan's b-day! We are so excited and so ready to meet her. Chloe is just tickled about the whole thing. She spends lots of time talking to my tummy and telling Maggie to "come here".

Maggie's room is all ready for her. I will post a few pictures. Chloe is doing well and thriving in every area! The biggest news over the past few months is that she has turned into a GREAT sleeper! She goes to bed basically on her own and sleeps all night! Woo-Hoo! She is also almost completely potty trained!

Here are some recent pictures of our life here in Perry! Miss and love you all!
