Chillaxin

LM got a "Big Girl Carseat" for Christmas, so she is passing her old one to MM. MM technically still fits in the bucket, just like LM did at this age (actually LM was in the carrier until 18 months.)

She was testing it out before installation. She just looks like a big kid here. She's still a lil shrimp.

Holly Jolly

I know I'm totally ruining the surprise, but we (finally) took our Christmas card pictures today. So as one of the three people who reads my blog, you'll probably get one in the mail soon. I expect them in 3-5 business days, so check your mailbox this weekend.

This is our best friend, Rockstar, who was at our house when we were getting ready to take the pictures- this is not news - but she came along, because that's what we do, we hang out with Rockstar. She even said, "I spend so much time with y'all, I should probably be in your Christmas card picture." I actually agree with her, but only because we have a different last name, we compromised by taking a few silly pictures with her afterwards.

I fully expect this picture will be in their yearbook when they are older. I absolutely love these silly girls!

Walk This Way

MM just took her first (real) steps!

She walked five steps from the chair to where I was sitting, grabbed my arm and then took two more steps.

I'm pretty sure she had no idea she was doing it.

Off to see the Wizard!

Watching the Wizard of Oz with my little munchkins!

She's One!

MM had her one year check up. Here are the stats:

Weight: 17.3 lbs (8%)
Height: 28.75"(45%)
Head: 18.5 (50%)

What a little peanut! She still wears 6m clothes.

Superstar

It's safe to say that LM isn't really into playing soccer.

She's actually on the field this season instead of sitting with me on the sidelines, so some might call this progress.

I think I am going to go ahead and cross "sports scholarship" off the list, though.

Taco Bell

We're sitting at dinner, and LM says, "Mom. Speak Spanish."

So I say in Spanish (forgive my tenses, it's been a long long while)- "In high school, I take 4 years of Spanish classes, and then when I went to college, I take 2 more classes."

They cracked up.

LM says, "I can speak Spanish too. Eka-leeka-alaca-zebra."

To which I reply, "No, I speak Spanish. You speak Cah-Razy." BigM and LM crack up when I translated into English.

BigM says, "Hey hey I can speak Spanish too."

Okay, lemme hear it.


"SALSA."

I'm still laughing.
