My Favorites

I just wanted to document today some funny and some cute things Siena and Aria are doing lately.

• Aria loves to play peekaboo by putting her hands over her eyes and laughs and giggles the whole time.

• Siena loves to play peekaboo by putting her hands over her ears...I don't think she quite gets the point but that's the way she plays it.

 

• Aria likes to stand on her own only when she's not thinking about it. If you try to get her to do it, she won't.  But she stands all the time while playing and even in the bathtub (much to my horror and dismay.)
• Siena is walking more and more but for some reason her left leg doesn't go as far as her right so she walks crooked and then will walk sideways trying to catch up and straighten out again.
• From time to time we barricade them in the family room with all their toys so Shane can get work done when he's home by himself or just so we don't have to chase after them every minute.  Well...
• Siena has learned to escape by crawling into the toy box and then over, while Aria laughs and cheers her on.

 

• When they aren't barricaded in Aria makes a straight shot to the stairs and up she goes.  Siena follows right after her.  When they get to the top they love to stand up against the railing that overlooks our family room and laugh at anyone downstairs that will talk to them.

• They love to be chased and both squeal the whole time.  Aria many times thinks that Siena is chasing her even if Siena is just crawling near or around her.  Aria squeals and crawls over to me to save her from Siena.
• They are understanding more words.  They know which toy is what, like if I say where is your ball, or do you want to play your piano, etc.
• In the bath tub Aria loves to poke at Siena's belly button but hasn't discovered that she has one too yet.
• Siena has started copying anyone that is coughing.  Jennifer first noticed it this week and sure enough since then she does it quite a bit.  This morning Aria choked on her bottle a little bit and without missing a beat Siena not looking over or anything, spit out her bottle, coughed back at Aria, put the bottle back in her mouth and kept drinking.
• We finally have teeth.  Aria got her 2 top teeth this week.  We celebrated by eating Creamies that night.

• They are obsessed with 2 books.  Brown Bear, Brown Bear and The Noisy Nosiy Farm.  If I pick one of those books up, they both stop what they are doing and crawl over to listen.  When it's done they both start crying, every single time.  I have both books memorized.
• We've continued our Saturday Family Adventures and are feeling sad the weather is cooling off as it will be harder to find things the girls enjoy doing in the cold.

These two girls really are my favorite.  My girls are growing up....sigh.

PS. Excuse the random formatting...apparently I'm in a fight with blogger.  Ugh...
