Christmas Past

Here is a look back at what my cousin Breann, sister-in-law Rachel and myself looked like a year ago Christmas. We were due (from left to right) January, February, and March.
None of the babies came on the right day, and we each had different compilations, but we all had a healthy beautiful baby!

Alexa born January 12th, 2009. Joseph born February 2nd, 2009 and Daphanie born February 7th, 2009.

They were great playmates, well for the almost one-year-olds that they are. It was a big change from last Christmas when they were only babies in our bellies. To now crawling active babies! We'll just have to see what next Christmas will bring us!

Merry Christmas

Infectious

Our little girl has something that is very contagious. You better watch out, It is extremely infectious...

It is that smile of hers! She has also added something to her smile recently.. can you spot it?

Daddy's The Man

Littlest Little Girl

So the littlest little girl of the family is 10 months old. She has seen every season, and in just two months she will be 1!
She has been sleeping much better these days. I let her cry it out, and now she is a much happier baby during the day! I think it is due to getting more sleep!

She is all over the house, following that sister of hers everywhere!

If you can't tell she loves this tent, Lilly received it as a gift for her birthday and it is played with everyday! Daphanie and Lillyann both love to play with it! Sometimes even when it is upside down!

I took Daphanie out for her first real snow today. She didn't like it one bit! I held her most of the time while we watched Lillyann play.

I sat her on the stairs and she was giving me some great smiles!

Other things the littlest is up to:

-Walking behind a walker, but knows its faster to get down and crawl to find that sister.

-Eating three meals a day with many snacks, and has cut down on milk.

-Still spitting up (throwing up) a lot!

-Loves playing peak-a-boo

-Still only has two bottom teeth

-Says mama and dada

Joy

Lillyann enjoys making cookies. She likes to help put all the ingredients in the bowl, and she likes to help mix them with a spoon. Of course she likes to cut them out, its just like playdough! She also loves to decorate them with icing and lost of sprinkles!

Daphanie is just eyeing those cookies that Lillyann is sprinkling...

...So I let her have one!

She really enjoyed it!

First Snow Fall

As soon as the snow started to fall Lilly seen it! She was so excited, she wanted to go outside. She was talking about snowmen, I told her there wasn't enough snow yet to build one. I waited a little longer until Daphanie was taking a nap, so it would be easier to just take out Lilly. She told me she needed gloves, a scarf and of course BOOTS! Here are a few pictures of the 8 minutes out in the snow.

Thanksgiving

Our Family has many things to be thankful for. We are thankful for our happy, healthy and beautiful little girls and our family and friends.
The weekend before thanksgiving we had beautiful weather to travel to Minnesota for thanksgiving with the large extended family of Corey's side. We had a great time, and a great meal. Here are a few pictures of the girls.

Jozie (almost 2) and Lillyann (2 1/2)
Jozie really liked playing with the baby, Daphanie. She loved giving her hugs and kisses. Daphanie didn't mind!
