Almost 2

I can't believe our girls are almost 2. It is unbelievable how fast time starts going by when you have babies. It's insane actually. People always told me life speeds up, but now I know first hand. We are having a pancake, PJ, and picture party this Saturday, November 19th, for them. That is actually Brian's birthday but we are celebrating on his day. On the 21st (their actual bday) we will probably just go out to eat.

I have been terrible about blogging this past month as things with Preemie Prints have really gotten busy. Any spare time I have I like to spend it playing with the girls.... working on art projects, chasing them, tickling them, reading to them, and our newest fun time activity...cuddling on the couch and watching movies. They finally sit with me on the couch still for longer than 2 min. I'm proud and love cuddle time.

They also enjoy fixing my hair, wrestling with the dogs, their dad, and each other. Climbing. Running. Being outside. Digging in the dirt and playing in the bushes. Laying in the grass and watching the clouds. Dancing. Music. Turning every day objects into musical instruments. Chasing each other. Holding and swaddling their babies. Screaming and chasing each other more. LOL. They are so so loud sometimes you would not believe it. Sliding. Painting. Coloring. Helping me cook....every now and then. Helping me do laundry...every now and then. :) "Reading" books. Playing with trains and cars. They love books.

Some of the shows they seems to like more than others right now are The Fresh Beat Band, The Brady Bunch, Franklin, and any show having to do with animals, Max and Ruby, and Thomas the Train.

They can both be very dramatic these days and Eden has had some bouts of biting and hitting. They fight over toys and over doing the same thing at the same time. She sometimes gets a little frustrated and might end up in time out. Pryscilla not so much, but she can get very vocal and upset. Both whine every now and then.

They love food..all kinds and anytime. We think they would eat all day if we let them. There really isn't much they don't like except for lots of vegetables. They do enjoy tomatoes though, we are not sure where that came from, and they consistently eat peas. Some of the odder foods they've consumed would be sushi, poppyseed, onions, and even some hot peppers. They love chicken nuggets, bread, waffles, bananas, apples, and juice. They drink lots of water and milk.

They are both extremely sweet, loving, and cuddly and we love that. There is nothing better then having them both come sit in my lap and look up at me and play with my hair then kiss me. It melts my heart every time. When they do that to each other it's even sweeter.

It is an understatement to say these girls love music... they LOVE LOVE LOVE music of all kinds!! Brian and I love rock music, and they already rock out with us from time to time, we'll put on some rap here and there and they groove with that too, they relax with me when I'm busy during the day listening to my 40's music, they try to hula when I put on Hawaiian or some Jack Johnson, they dance to kids music and play their "instruments", they like classical here and there. Pryscilla is the singer and Eden is the dancer. Eden is a drummer and Pryscilla is always holding the guitar.

They are so so silly. To the point they are learning what makes mom and dad laugh. They are most definitely entertainers. Toddling comedians.

They love to pray and fold their hands. If you talk about Jesus or angels if they see a picture of Jesus or angels their hands go together along with an angelic face. It's adorable and spiritual.

They love to travel to visit family and friends. Just say the word bye bye and they are at the door.. Pryscilla tends to fall more and two or three times already has hit her front teeth, I am so scared they are going to come out. 1 tooth is already chipped. Eden has more hair. Pryscilla is tad bit taller. They are sort of talking, you hear a word every now and then but not a whole lot, although each day I here new words mixed with their twinspeak. One of most recent Preemie Prints photography volunteers blessed us with these amazing photos at a traveling carnival! I wanted to take the pictures somewhere other than a pretty park. Somewhere with lots of color, loud, and a little bit crazy...kind of like my beautiful girls who we are so very very blessed to have. Thank you Lord for your blessings you have bestowed on us.
