Bad Blogger, Good Summer...

ok so,

Its been a while since I've posted but so much has been going on that this blogger has just not had time to blog away about it. The girls are growing, growing, growing. They each have about 25 words now and are trying to do "big girl" things like eat at the dinner table in a chair- not HIGH chair. They do pretty well with it. Soon, they will be out of their cribs (I am sad to report) and into big girl beds. In fact, I have been selling just about all their baby equipment on Ebay and it is making me very sad (not to mention the very sad profits that they yield- oh well, they don't call in a recession for nothing). I have also been buying "big girl" outdoor play things for our backyard as well as Nana's.

Although we missed the Orange County Fair this year (we kept putting it off), we did get to the Ventura County Fair with Aunt Judy and Cousin Gabriel where Bella and Lily rode a pony for the first time (so much for my objection about the exploitation of animals!). Bella was at first a little hesitant about it but recovered quite nicely to enjoy the rest of what seemed like a very long pony ride. Lily took it all in stride, as usual. The girls also enjoyed riding a few rides for the first time (well, I shouldn't say "enjoyed" more like "freaked out" for most the ride). We hope to get to the LA County Fair a little later in August.At almost 20 months, the girls finally had their 18-month well-baby check-up and last vaccinations today. While during their previous visits, the girls were both pretty much off the charts in terms of being way smaller than their age group, this time the girls are on the charts. Bella is still a little small for her age and measures at about the 25th percentile in height and weight. Lily, on the other hand, is right at the 50th percentile for her weight and 25th percentile for height, like her sister. We'd better watch the ole' gal's eatin, lest she be a hefty Sue like her mama!

I was wondering how you guys have been! Isn't it amazing how much they have grown in the past couple of months? I know they grow in size the first year but this second year I feel like they grow so much mentally. Your girls are just beautiful and so healthy looking.

When are you going to switch to big girl beds and how? Just...do it?

Great update!! I hear ya on the growing into big girls. We're not close to being in big girl beds but definitely purging the baby items and such.

It's exciting and sad all at the same time.

Cute pictures!! Love the pink stroller. Super cute!
