1 & 20!

I meant to post this all last week, but wouldn't ya know it, we got the stomach flu, had little sleep, a party, and a fun-filled (or should I say tantrum-filled) weekend! But our girls are getting bigger, and we sure love them!

The girl is now 20 months old, and those big blue eyes melt hearts everywhere. And her scream bursts ear drums! ;) Ha ha! She is known to walk around our home chanting the alphabet, missing letters here and there, but still pretty impressive.

She is also becoming quite adept at counting. Here is how it goes: "1,2,3,4,5,6,9, 10,11,12,7,8."

Me: How many eyes does mommy have?
The Girl: (pointing) 1, 2, 3, 4.

I guess I have 4 eyes. ha ha

Sweet C is getting sweeter and chubbier every day. In fact, we discovered the difficulty of having a chubby baby: cleaning out the fat folds. We had neglected this task, only to discover yesterday that uncleaned fat-folds are very stinky.

She is definitely smiling more, and her smile crinkles her eyes, it is sweet! She has cooed a couple of times, and we look forward to hearing her sweet voice more. She still sleeps right next to me, and I think she'll start sleeping 6 straight hours soon. Still no luck getting her to sleep in her own bed, but I'm getting more used to having her right next to me.

Someone reminded me yesterday what a blessing it is to have 2 girls, and even though it's challenging, I know that Heavenly Father is helping me and reminding me that he is there. :)

Sweet C and I are the same! Everytime I try to sleep on my bed--I hear noises! I just know there's a monster down there :). My couch has become the 2nd best place to sleep--someday I'll get used to these noises!
