New Year, New Look...Same Babies

The new year inspired me to change to look of the blog....Babies are growing super fast. Everyday Andrew comes up with something new to say. He now says I do it, when you ask him his name he'll say Andrew Michael, (it's cuter to hear him say it), the trash is now "trash man" and his relating objects by their size. Everything big is daddy, smaller is mama and smallest is baby. So he has all his toys grouped by their size. And he'll ask for baby airplane or mama trash, it's a very detailed form of classification...well at least I think so. He had a great Christmas and continues to talk about Santa. There was an older gentlemen with a long white beard at the grocery store and Andrew was calling him Santa. The man seemed offended but I thought it was pretty funny. His growing up and maturing so much everyday....
Brianna is on her way to walking. If it was up to my parents they would have had her walking before they left. The most we got was standing and then three steps all alone. She would just get too excited and then sit. But I'm in no hurry. I like just being able to cuddle and her not knowing she can have that independence. She's turned into the little dancing machine. Andrew likes to play everything that has a music button at the same time and Brianna just sits there with her hands in the air dancing. Again cuter to see her do it.

Well Happy New Year hope every ones new year is all they expect and more!

Trail of Lights on 12/18....They both loved it

Cookie Decorating 12/21. Andrew had a blast and made a HUGE mess. Brianna sat there with a cookie in her mouth and a bottle of sprinkles in her hand.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning Brianna looked soo cute in her new dress. Andrew loved all the new toys!!

Christmas Pictures

Wishing Everyone a Merry Christmas!!

Love Andrew and Brianna

Time Flies When You Are Having FUN!!!

Hope everyone hasn't given up on me. I know its been a while, did a lot of my shopping on line and never had enough time to blog. Anyways...babies are doing great. Andrew continues to talk more and more everyday. His newest little game is that he thinks his name is "You." When he sees a baby picture of himself he'll say baby Nana and we tell him, No, that's You! So now his name is You. He'll say "hold You," "You truck"You juice"Brianna's doing great now at 10 months she's everywhere and into everything. She's all smiles and giggles and loves just playing with her big brother.

Andrew was reading Brianna a "story" They now talk to each other in their own language. It was soo cute to watch them Brianna was captivated by every word.

As Christmas presents started to come I built Andrew a little fort. He didn't even look what was inside, he was just excited that another "box" came!

Brianna is getting very close to walking still a little nervous about letting go but will take this truck all over the house!

Don't be fooled by this picture Brianna has entered the nonstop splashing stage. She'll sit her entire bath facing the corner because Andrew does not find it nearly as cute as I do to just sit there and splash away!!

Brianna is 9 months old Today!!

Brianna celebrated the beginning of her 9th month pretty much like any other day. She's been sleeping a lot more these days. Don't know if a growth spurt or what but she's been getting in two long naps. I'm not complaining, it make her a lot happier when the evening rolls around. But poor Andrew he pretty much has to wear a muzzle during the day. Actually I'm sure he's not complaining we typically end up outside and that's always a good thing for him. He's got soo much energy these days. He'll just run in circles...Literally in circles.
A lot of exciting things happened this last week. I think we are now official Pflugervilleians?? We went to our first football game...High school that is. WOW never thought I'd go just for fun, but we had a great time. Andrew and Brianna loved it. We sat in the "preferred" seating section. I guess it pays off to live next door to the P-Ville Superintendent. The town really goes all out....Needless to say there aint much going on here Friday nights. That and considering we pay a ton of taxes that goes to these schools I would be disappointed at anything less. Made Brent and I realize how small our high school really was.
Then on Sunday we went for a drive down/up to Georgetown. There's a new housing development with these amazing houses. All these homes are on an acre plus lot. Beautiflul neighborhood that backs up to a forest and Brent pointed out a fresh pile of deer poop so that means wildlife where you gonna find real deer poop in CA. WOW I knew moving out here was worth it : ) Well any ways that was our week in a nutshell. Sorry not a lot of Pictures of Andrew...He's still napping the wind that he calls rain kept him awake for a good part of the night.

On Our Way to Georgetown...Brent got tired of Driving....Good thing we have a back-up

Quick short update

We have all finally beaten that nasty cold. Brianna is still batteling the four top teeth that seem to all want to make their presence at the same time. Her poor little gums are still super red and swollen. She's aggressively chewing on everything, including the brick hearth. Poor little thing just wants to chew so hard on everything so she makes her gums bleed. Hopefully they'll pop through sooner than later. Andrew still chattering away. He has soo much to say and makes soo little sense. I can pick up on a word here and there and carry on a conversation that way. He's very agreeable because he's always going along with what I think he's saying. He's growing up soo fast and becoming a little boy, not my baby anymore.
Here are some pictures from the week....Have a great weekend everyone!

Halloween Day!!

Kids had a great Halloween. Andrew and I went trick or treating with another little boy while Brent stayed home and passed out candy. Poor little Nana was still too sick to take out. So she stayed home and watched the kids from the window. She did love carving the pumpkin. She wanted to jump right in and get all messy. Andrew, on the other hadn didnt like the feel of the inside so he pretty much stayed away and "supervised." Andrew had a great time trick or treating, he would say to each house "treat please and thank you" very sweet. It's soo much fun to see him enjoying these little traditions. If Halloween would have been a week later I dont think Brianna would have fit in her little Indian Costume. She looked soo sweet and made the perfect indian girl with all that hair. I was very pleased with the way Andrew's costume turned out. He didnt want to wear the vest or the hat, but the chaps stayed on most of the time. It was hard to make the right size, seeing how he wouldnt let me try anything on him. Just measuring him was an ordeal. That was the second try at the vest, the first one wouldnt even fit Brianna. But in the end he looked very cute! He realy got into character!
