On the GO!

Maddyson is such a little go getter! Just like she was in the NICU refusing to eat and then one day BAM! She ate and was home. Well she has been rolling for some time now but still doesn't sit up on her own and today she decided to start scooting! Such a bittersweet day for me, Where did my little newborn go?

 I'm so glad I had the camera handy so I could snap some pictures of her. It was so fun to watch,, it was like she was in a whole new world and she wouldn't stop moving til she wore herself out.

 This book is one of her favorite toys and when she saw it on the blanket she headed right for it.

 Yes I moved it to make her keep scooting after it.

This is the "mommy just pick me up now" face.

Bella and Elisha

My good friend Mandy sells Lia Sophia and I had a party on Saturday. Our girls meet each other a week before and Elisha thought it was her jewlery party and was so insistent that her friend Bella come play during it. They were so cute. I went to check on them and this is what I found. They were laying in Elishas bed watching a movie on Bellas Iphone and they each had an ear bud to listen to it with.

And while Im at it if anyone is wanting to order some super cute and fun jewlery here is my friends site...

Little sister attacks!

 The girls were playing and Elisha wanted to watch Disney Channel and have Maddy lay down with her. It took Elisha about 2 mins to fall asleep and Maddy took advantage of the situation and climbed all over her.

I showed Elisha the pictures when she woke up and she was all surprised and had no idea Maddy climbed on her while she was out for the count.

"Lets Celebrate" Disney on Ice

We grabbed something to eat at the gateway and walked over to Energy Solutions Arena from there. Elisha and Keeley got nice rides as you can see.

Maddy got a nice warm scenic ride as well AND I'm actually in a picture! Maybe I should wear my child more often.

 The girls were so excited and had lots of fun.  When the show started Elisha jumped out of her seat and started screaming so loud "Go Princesses Go!"

 Maddy slept thru the first half and then was awake and really good for the second part.

Elisha told everyone who would listen that she was going with her friend Keeley and baby sister Maddy to DISNEYLAND... yes thats right she called it Disneyland. She had so much fun and already wants to know when she gets to go again.
I had so much fun watching and listening to Elisha get so excited. Everytime a character would come out she would scream and clap.

Maddys first tooth

Maddy's first little tooth has made its way through her gums and we can barely see it now, its much easier to feel it as Matt learned.
I wanted to try and get a picture of it but Maddy was trying to grab the camera to eat it.

She is a slobbery, drolly little stinker but I love her to pieces.

New Beds

Maddy made the move into her crib and into her own room! Matt got her bed all set up and I was hoping that she would have a hard time and want to stay in her bassinet in our room for a little longer BUT she LOVED it!

 Her first night in it she rolled all over and seemed to enjoy all the extra room. She even slept through the night (that is nothing new for her but I was shocked considering a new bed and new room)

Elisha got a "big girl room" makeover too. She had a toodler day bed but she kept falling out of it and wanted to have a bigger one so we converted it into the full size bed.  We went shopping and she got to pick out her new bedding. She changed her mind a million times before the day of shopping. She picked out flower bedding and light pink and dark pink sheets (she still thinks she needs purple sheets too!) Then she needed a princess and a tinkerbell pillowcase and a little tinkerbell and princess decorative pillows. Yep that means she has 6 full size pillows on her bed and 2 little ones.

 She loved her new bed and was out fast. I could barely see her when I snuck in to check on her and take a picture for all the pillows.

Now looking at these pictures I have to laugh thinking how out and comfortable they both must have been to sleep through their silly mom taking pictures of them!

Getting the girls ears pierced

Elisha got her ears pierced when she was around 10 months old, well she did great until she was about 2 and then she would want them in and out and eventually the holes closed up.

I have been wanting to get Maddys done and Elisha said she would get hers redone at the same time. Well we were at the mall and walked past the jewelry store and Elisha said "please please please lets pierce my ears"  So we went in to see if Maddy was old enough and Yep sure enough she was so both girls got them done.

Elisha climbed up in the chair like such a big girl and didnt want to hold my hand. She cried and was not happy but after a little nap she was just fine and wanted to show off her ears. The girls got their birth stone colors so Elishas are pink and Maddys are blue.

She was starting to get a little nervous.

This picture makes me sad but she stopped crying seconds after it was over.

Both girls look so cute with their ears pierced and Elisha has wanted to tell and show everyone their ears.
