January....

I know that it has been a super long time since I updated my blog so here we go....
The month of January has seemed to fly right on by. The girls are both doing great and Amelia is changing so fast. She has started eating baby food, playing with toys and sitting up by herself. I love to watch her as she reaches different stages of development and she has such a little personality! Maddie is a wonderful big sister and makes her laugh all of the time.
I thought this picture of Maddie was so cute! She had her jewelry box out and was watching TV...I guess she had to check herself out at time or two??

Look at this happy girl!!! Her smile brightens my day!


Maddie has been wanting to help with the dishes whenever she can. She sees Grace helping her mom at daycare and Maddie want to be "big" too! We will see how long that lasts??




My girl is growing too fast! We go next week to register her for pre-K and she is so excited! It's hard to believe that she will be in school next year. Sometimes I wish I could keep them little forever!




My girls...
Amelia looks so much like Madelyn did when she was a baby. You can definitely tell that they are sisters!




Sitting up all by myself!
I took Amelia to the Dr. last week for a cough that has been hanging on. She ended up being fine but I can't believe how big she is! She weighed 19 lbs. 11 oz. She wears 9-12 month clothes and is already passing up Maddie at that age. I'm glad that she is a happy, healthy little girl!
Bob and I just celebrated our 12th anniversary yesterday. Wow, it goes fast! I think how our lives have changed so much. It is no longer about ourselves but raising these two amazing little girls. There was a time that I never thought I would get to be mom. It's a lot of work and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The girls have brought us more joy than we could ever imagine and I'm so thankful for them and an amazing husband!

Christmas pictures

I forgot that I had uploaded pictures from Christmas and never posted them. We did have a wonderful time in Rochester and it was great to see Blake too! Here are a few pictures from the weekend....








Bob, Phyllis and Blake





Maddie and CeCe handed out the gifts.







Yes, I know that I have been terrible at updating my blog. I will get some new pictures up soon!
