11 months and 24 months

Bailey is our little Drama Queen! She is loving all the attention from her sister and they play pretty well right now. Cross your fingers. :) She is still scooting on her bum to get around and is getting fast at it. She can pull her self up on to things but she is just scared. She loves to eat, eat and eat. I think for her 1st birthday we are going to do A Very Hunger Caterpillar Party. She loves to say dada and we are working on saying mama.:) She waves bye bye and blows kisses. She loves to play with her sister and take away what ever she is playing with. She lights up when mom walks into the room and is so mad when I leave her sight. We love Bailey so much and we are so glad she came to us.

I can't believe I have a TWO year old. I mean she has been acting like she is 2 since she was 18 months old but she is TWO! Emma is such a loving, caring, stubborn little girl. She is so sweet to her sister and wants to hug or have her sister sit by her all the time. Boy does she through some good temper tantrums. I sometimes wonder if they will ever grow out of them. Emma loves her Dance class and just had her First Dance recital and she did great. She had her Elmo Party and loved it. Ella her Best Friend came to her party and I'm pretty sure she was more excited about that then anything else. Emma is into Elmo, dancing, watching the Ellen Show with mom, watching Monsters University everyday and loves to play with her friends. She is finally cutting three more teeth and is doing great with her language. I feel like she is echoing more and more so hopefully we can actually understand what she is telling us. She will walk up to us and say something in her own little language and I just have to shack my head yeah. :) She is so fun and we can't wait until Christmas. She is going to love it! We love you Emma!

9/10 months and 22/23 months

I'm a slacking on updating each month of the girls. Bailey is our little social drama queen! She loves to be around and watch other kids but she knowns how to turn it on and off when she wants to be with mom or wants something. She is definitely a momma's girl. (It has its up and downs) We have another butt scooter in our family. :) She gets around scooting on her bum just like her Big sister did. Only this time Bailey rotates from each side to side as she scooters as to where Emma used one side and used her hands more. Bailey loves to eat!!!! She will eat anything we give her as long as she can pick it up and put it in her mouth. She loves to watch her Big sister play and to get into anything on her level. She is pulling her self up more and more when she isn't lazy. ;) My favorite thing she does right now is when she wants to be picked up she will hold her arms up and open and close her fingers like Pick me up! I love it! She got tubes put into her ears about 2 weeks ago and it has made a big difference. I know this sounds silly but she never use to sign more but ever since her tubes she claps her hands and actually signs more when she wants to. ;) She babbles all the time and uses her lungs every once in a while to. She is cutting her "vampire" teeth right now and that leads into our story last night. We ended up taking her to the Instacare because she woke up from her nap with from hives on her cheek and lower back. She had a fever of 101.2 and her heart rate was 178. They gave her some steroids to clear up the hives and to monitor her during the night. She was fine this morning with no hives and slept great but I ended up taking her to see Dr Weipert and he seemed like she maybe touched something and she reacted from it or something in the air. But he didn't seem to worried about it. He said her heart rate was okay…200 plus is something he would of been concerned about. Other then that Bailey is our sweet, loving, drama queen. :) We are so blessed to have her in our family. We love you Bailey!

Emma needs to stop growing up! I can't believe she will be 2 on Saturday. She is our miracle baby and I am so grateful to have her spunky little personality in our family. She might be in her terrible twos but she does things that make us laugh. She graduated from PT which we are happy but sad at the same time. Mark has been with Emma since she was a month old. We will miss him but are excited she is doing awesome. She is working with April her Speech Therapist and still works with Paul OT and Shauntell. We are so grateful for Kids on the Move and the help they have given us. Emma is starting to echo more and more of what we say and talks to us in her own little language. She loves her Dance class and has her first Christmas Recital next thursday.:) She loves to play with her friends at Daycare especially Ella! I'm pretty sure besides mom and dad. Ella was one of her first words. :) Emma is obsessed with either iPhones or iPads. She loves to watch Disney Junior or PBS Kids. I'm so excited for her birthday and Christmas this year. She is at such a fun age. Yesterday she sat and watched Monsters University for about 30 min.! She loves to explore and decided to climb out of bed during her nap and wrote with sharpie all over her walls and door. :( With a little Pinterest magic I got most of it our with nail polish. The Brown is still on the wall. Guess we will be painting that room again. Our little Emma explore is such a joy to have in our family and we are excited to see her exceed more. We love you Emma!
