Baby in the belly

Today we were sitting together on the couch and I told the girls that there is a baby in my belly. They both proceeded to lift my shirt up and tried looking into my belly button to see if they could see the baby. It was so adorable. Maja looked especially intrigued by it and couldn't quite get why she couldn't see a baby... "I don't see it Mommy"

Then I asked if it's a boy or a girl and she said "Hmm... let me think... I think it's a girl"

My twirly girl

This is all she wants to do now... put on pretty dresses and dance around. She even has her ballerina moves down putting her hands up. She is turning into such a girly girl

Getting closer

to getting Maja feeling better.

She has been having some health issues for a while and we finally got an appointment with a specialist at the Children's Hospital in Spokane. We don't have any final answers yet but things are looking better. She will have to stay on a mostly dairy free diet but at least it's ok for her to have some of it occasionally. Jeff is pretty happy we can have pizza again and both her and Isla love the rice milk and soy cheese :)

She loved her pretty "dress" and was pretty excited after they took her picture AKA X-rays. I couldn't go in with her for that part because I'm pregnant but Babcia said she did really good



and then we went shopping... I couldn't resist these shoes :)

Isla is a whole different story

Maja loves putting on dresses... Isla figured out how to get naked... I'm not impressed either

"I'm a princess"

this is how Maja came out of her room... she found a dress and was convinced she was a princess. Who told her about princesses is beyond me :). Then she danced around the living room

Baby Matteo

Baby flutters are the best... it's super early (about 13 wks) but I can already feel them. This little one very active :)

Happy 17 months Isla

1. you nursed for the last time this morning :(
2. you love rice milk in your bottles and will take if from Daddy in the evening and at night
3. you have taken so well to your toddler bed and sometimes after I put you to bed you get up and try to open the other and when you can't you just crawl back into bed, cuddle up with your "friends" and go to sleep. Much better then what Maja used to do which was fall asleep by the door on the wood floor :)


4. you've had your first popsicle... yum. Yes... we gave you the lime one that nobody likes but you seemed to be ok with that :)


5. you are still much of a destructive tornado
6. your vocabulary is amazing and I've lost count of the many words you know now
7. I love how you say no and you stick out your pointer finger at people to make it clear :)
8. you started singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider"
9. every time you get even a little hurt you have to get your "awie awie" kissed, even though you are still a tough kid and don't really get hurt
10. you take such good care of your "babies". You nurse them and cuddle them and make sure they get have their blankies with them
11. you love books just as much as your sister

Not good

When you have little children, ALWAYS use furniture straps.

One morning I woke up to a huge noise and at first I thought it was Isla who pushed out the gate out of her room but when I rushed into Maja's room and I saw this and heard her crying I almost had a heart attack. Luckily she must have noticed it falling over and she moved out of the way to the other side.

The sun is out and the girls are out

The weather here has actually been pretty sunny and warm for a while however, the wind... the wind is so terrible that you can't even leave your FULL garbage can out the night before because it will likely be all over the street in the morning.
I'm pretty sure the girls would just fly away if I let them out there

But finally we got a few great non windy days so we decided to break in the sandbox. They loved it, including the mandatory bath afterwords. Isla of course had to taste it... and then wash her face in the water table!

Our little Picasso has done it again

OK, I am biased but this time you gotta give it to me... isn't this an awesome looking plane for a 2.5 year old???

Granted the little blop in the top corner is supposed to be her PJs and that's a helicopter in the bottom corner but hey... she obviously has a great imagination :)
