Project 365 Week 3

Monday, January 10th

I usually gets to sleep in on Mondays and Daddy makes my breakfast fresh for me when I make my sleepy way down the stairs. We love french toast!

Liliana went on a date with daddy. They went bowling and had a blast!
She picked up this ball a couple of times... yay!

Here's for you, mom/Grandma! :o)

Tuesday, January 11th
Liliana went to Auntie Joy's to play with Emma and I took Noah and Elia to the mall to play. Noah was so cute playing so respectfully and quietly... at one point he reached deep into his pocket while looking up at a lady who wasn't paying any attention and he pulled out something to show her... as I watched with anticiaption of what on earth he was digging out of his pocket I was shocked to see....MY iPOD!!!! I jumped up and walked right over there and said "Noah, give me mommy's iPod, you can only have this at home" and he said "okay, mommy". hahah! :o)
Later that day we had snuggle time!

Wednesday, January 12th

We had a blizzard... here we have 25" inches of snow on the ground.

Thursday, Janurary 13th

Elia's new chair! We found it used for half the price! :o)

Sweet feet!

Friday, January 14th

Definitely an underwear on the head kind of a day! :o) Noah had a fever for about 2 days...since we had gone to the germy mall to play...and Mommy was getting cabin fever. :o) Mommy loves being home but loves to be out and about too! :o) Mommy is a big social bug and needs her regular social fix. :o)

Saturday, January 15th

Liliana has recently learned how to blow bubbles with her gum! So cute!

Noah just sticks his wad of gum out of his lips and thinks it is a bubble and gets all excited...hehe!

Lots of coloring!!! Noah is really into coloring and writing lately... he writes lots of "letters" and Liliana loves to try to write words.

Sunday, January 16th

Home another day as Liliana was up coughing the night before... so we stayed in for a "get-well" day full of cozy naps. :o)

LOVE these feet!

All 4 of us played with Liliana's PetShops! I love those little guys, I am a sucker for those and stuffed animals! Elia had a little cold too... she looks sleepy here... awe!

Project 365 Week 1 & 2

Saturday, January 1st

So, we went to church today and had a wonderful time. It was our first time back to the Saturday evening service since Elia was born (we had been going to the 11:15 to work around her sleep schedule)... Well, everyone loved meeting Elia and talking to her and she had the best time talking to them... she actually wore herself out and after about 20 people. Elia was dressed so cute with her little soft booties on... well, when we got home from church I took them off to change her diaper and look what I found inside of her shoe!...A BUNNY... one of Liliana's missing Polly Pocket pets... HOW CUTE IS THAT!?!? :o)

Mommy and Liliana had fun painting... this is mommy's... I post this to show my mommy... photos do not give paintings any justice... nonetheless, here it is:

So sorry, L for catching you here in the background...every kid's gotta dig now and then.

Creative fun! Napping in laundry baskets??

Homeade turtles...hehe!

Pure cuteness!

Home Salon featuring Nails by Noah: Liliana did one foot and did a neat job and this is the foot Noah did. I have tiny feet, so yes, this is mommy's foot.

Baked an apple pie together!

Random morning nap on the couch... so COZY!

OUR HOUSE! FINALLY A PHOTO OF OUR HOUSE!

The kids and I played hard in the snow with our neighbors accross the street! So much fun!

Noah covering his sister with the heart blanket. He loves this blanket... he sleeps with it at night.

Sunday, January, 9th

Winding down before bed time. Noah looking at Elia's very long fingernails... they grow so fast. Noah tried biting them off, probably safer than those crazy nail clippers.

The Sweet Scoop

Elia remains to be the SWEETEST babie ever!!!! She is amazing!!!
She sleeps anywhere from 9 pm - 10 or 11 am the next day give take a little. She then is awake for about an hour or two then naps for a good 2 - 4 hours, then is awake for two, then another good nap or a couple of cat naps. She falls asleep and transitions to bed without a fuss and wakes up with a little whimper or cry but greets you with a smile when you reach her bed.
She LOVES to talk to people... yes, conversing is for sure her favorite thing to do! At church she is just this biggest social bug, she smiles and talks to everyone she sees and everyone eats it up. I definitely see me in her in this part of her personality. Love it! My heart melts as I write... sigh! :o)
She loves to stand on your lap and has since early on has excellent head control.
She does not like belly time, it is torture for her! I suspect she may skip the whole crawling thing and go straight to walking.
She is drooling big time! She can soak up a bib in no time! I keep peeking in there for some teeth... I know they must be in the works.
She loves sucking on her hands and on her bib.
She is holding her little stuffed animals now, which is so sweet! There is one dolly that says "I love you" and makes kissing sounds that she loves and smiles at.
One very funny thing that she did the other day and again today is she yells at daddy... It started about two days ago when Donnie was at the kitchen table with the kids and I was holding Elia and they were play shouting at each other all excited about who knows what and Elia just look right at Donnie as bright eyed as can be and blatently shouted "uuahhaah" at him! She did it about 10 times with pauses for reaction in between. We were taken aback and looked at each other like "huh?" and looking at her trying to figure out if she was about to cry or what. We had never seen anything like it! Then this evening, she did the same thing, all on her own, out of know where, she was sitting on my lap and looked over at Donnie and shouted "ahhaah" at him two or three times. Hehehe... spunky, huh!? :o) Tooo cute!!!

Our First real snow of the season! Here Noah is trying to throw snow"balls" at me. Look at those sweet cold, red cheeks; I was continually pulling my glove off to put my warm bare hand on them to warm them up a bit.

Our backyard, a Winter Wonderland!

YUMMY Snow!

He insisted upon wearing one of my scarves! AWE!

I headed in a few minutes before them to run a warm bath and prepare some nice hot cocoa to warm those babies up!

Liliana's first real tea set from Marilyn Lopata. AWE! (Yes, I write "AWE" a lot in my blog, but I have to write from my heart and I say "awe" a lot in my head, evidently)

Liliana and Noah drank so much hot chocolate and hot tea from their tiny tea cups that they BOTH went to the bathroom TWICE during thier one hour party.
