10 Things


Long time, no post. Yes we are alive.


Between raising 2 increasingly active little girls, the joys of long overdue house projects, and Jon's insane work schedule there has been little time or energy to post.


For once, I actually have a few minutes while waiting for a colleague to comment on a document.


To provide everyone an update, here is another "10 Things" list.....I know everyone loves them!


10 THINGS ABOUT JACQUELINE


1. She has 5 teeth, all at different heights.

2. Combine the teeth with her crazy, wild hair....she would be a great witch at Halloween!

3. She likes to suck the juice out of raisins then spit out the husk.

4. She is an expert at drinking from her sippy cup.

5. Dad or Mom can't have a beer without Jacqueline wanting to "taste" some.

6. She LOVES Raven!

7. Combine her love of Raven, Raz, and Tweedle with her highly developed fine motor skills......I think she'll be an animal surgeon when she grows up.

8. She still shows no interest in rolling over or pulling herself into a sitting or standing position, but we know she can....we have seen her do it.....she just doesn't want to all the time.

9. She is getting better at cruising everyday.

10. When fingerwalking, she is a Speed Demon! Track star in the making!


10 THINGS ABOUT SOPHIE

1. She has thick, silky hair. She didn't inherit that from Mom or Dad!

2. She developed an extreme aversion to baths in the last 2 weeks.

3. Cruising is her thing.

4. She can crawl up the stairs (with Mom or Dad behind her, of course).

5. She waves "hi" or "bye"....inconsistently, but she can do it in context.

6. You can't eat in front of her without sharing.

7. She is a bulldozer......she crawls over everything and anything that is in her way.

8. Peek-a-boo is her favorite game.

9. Her molars are starting to drop....we now know what parents mean when they say "teething was not bad until the molars..."!

10. She helps get herself undressed.
