February Sweeties

It's crazy how these kids grow & change. Looking back on last July pictures when Shy & Hollie first came... wow. They are growing so much!
This little girl:- NEVER stops talking. From the moment she wakes up, till the moment she passes out on her pillow...
-is almost 3 years old! wahhh!
-loves life... She's such a happy little girl!
-sings songs - learning tons and tons of new lyrics daily
-plays so well with Shyanne. They get along better and better each day
-is getting so good at imaginative play. The girls play "foster kids" instead of "house" all day long!
-is learning to try lots of new foods (thanks to the influence of S&H) and realizing that she likes a lot more than she thinks!
-loves books.


This girl: -is quieter that Natalee
-is three-years-old
-got a cute hair cut that frames her face so nicely
-plays so well with Natalee ("foster kids" of course!)
-loves to read books
-likes her cuddle time w/ Mommy after nap time and in the mornings
-can start & zip her own zipper (This kid has amazing fine motor skills!)
-is defensive/protective of her little sis. its' super sweet!
-has the funniest expressions...
-has the most grown up conversations w/ adults (hysterical!)

This little girl:
-always makes this face when saying "cheese" at the camera
-is super fast. she zips around like a whirl wind. she had bruises on her head I have no clue where they came from!
-is more cuddly than she used to be
-is more affectionate than she used to be
-loves food! She eats all her food & usually S & N's leftovers! I don't know where she puts it!
-is really into babies right now - and very possessive of hers
-is saying new words and 2 word phrases. My favorite: "Uh-huh" She uses it instead of Yes.
-babbles on in baby talk with perfect intonation & you know that she knows just what she's saying. And when you reply, "O really?" She says, "Uh-huh!"
-takes her pj's & diaper off in bed if we don't put the pj's on backward. Johnny had the pleasant surprise of a poopy diaper on morning! lovely.
-loves to be "one of the girls". hates to be left out. gets her feelings hurt if the girls go somewhere and she's not allowed.
-has almost outgrown the "sprout" look - her hair is too long to do in a fountain on the top of her head
-is a very happy little girl!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
