So we've been a little busy since the first of the year...and this past week we've all been sick. Gabby even had her first ear infection that started on Friday (and she weighed in at 19 1/2 pounds at the doctors office). We were going to go get her ears pierced this weekend but she lucked out with her ear infection. Maybe next weekend. The weather has been perfect lately and in the upper 70s. So here's a little catch up of what we've been doing. New Year's Day we celebrated Uncle RyRy's birthday.
Gabby enjoyed the grass.
Bella enjoyed jumping (she seems to be jumping all day), riding (someone pushing) her bike and playing basketball with Chad, Steph & Daddy.
She also enjoyed Daddy taking her on a flight. 
We've also been...wrestling.
Bowling (Bella was the best cheerleader) no matter what happened she would cheer gutter balls and all.
Having finger puppet shows.
Looking cute
Painting
Trying puffs. Bella used to Love these but Gabby's still not very sure.
And finally we've been attempting to crawl. I keep thinking any moment. Gabby is so frustrated she hasn't figured it out yet. She's tried everything...rocking, rolling, trying to move with her feet...but in the end she still only go backwards. The other day she rolled from one end of the room to the other and then started giggling when she reached the other side. It hasn't stopped her from getting what she wants, but Bella has been on the floor trying to show her how to do it...and you can tell she just wants to go and chase her big sister.
So as you can tell...we've been busy. We've reorganized the house/toys so it isn't a complete disaster anymore. Gabby is feeling better although frustrated at crawling. Bella is just our crazy independent daughter. She is into dressing herself...it took almost an hour this week one morning because every time I offered my helped she would say "No Mommy...I dood it". She also uses this line with everything. She is big on doing everything herself. Even going to the potty she shuts the door and says "bye-bye Mommy"...which is always an interesting sight once she's done...since she also likes to help empty her potty into the big potty. She has been putting everything and everyone to bed too. She'll put her dolls in bed, cover them up, turn on the music and close the door. It started with dolls in her bed, but has progressed to objects outside her room (books, toys, us). She'll put her blanket on us and say "Go Night Night Mommy...Shhhh". Her need to do everything right now is frustrating at times...especially when you're trying to get out of the house, but then she'll snuggle up and give you a kiss. She's too adorable...even if she's driving us crazy...sometimes you just have to laugh, just hope it's not when the other one is trying to discipline her.
Finally we are adjusting to being dogless. It's so strange not to have Cosmo to step over or have his hair on everything. I'm glad to know he's playing with Zona again, but Bella had gotten really close to him so every once in awhile she'll ask for him or try and put food in his bowl. Mainly right after it happened, but Friday she randomly asked where he was on the way to school. I explained he was up in heaven with Zona and she sadly said okay, asked for her blanket and let out a few tears while looking out the window...broke my heart.
Anyway, hope everyone has a great week. Go Cardinals (never thought I'd say that).
