ok so, Augie, myself and the girls and I all went back to school earlier this month. We're now all looking forward to Christmas vacation!
Bella knows every word in the dictionary now. I expect her first college enrollment packet to arrive any time now.
No, really. This toddler is a talker! She "picks up" everything. I mean EVERYTHING, and in the course of 10 seconds. We have to be especially careful of our exclamations and protestations around here. She has become such a sponge for learning and information that she's almost become a couch potato these days. Her favorite show and the one she demands to watch day and night is Barney. 
However, as I mentioned to Augie tonight, we need a Barney budget where TV is concerned.

Augie and I both wonder where it came from. Her effervescent smile warms your heart, especially when she feels shy when she knows you're looking. 
She loves to play the nurturing mommy with all her babies and their strollers. She'll even walk around the house to find shopping bags and purses and will load up her arms with baby, bags, blankets and various odds and ends before wheeling her carriages for a stroll outside. I wonder where she gets that from? She also loves to play dress up and will seek out dresses from her closet, hand them to me and shout "on". Her favorite thing is trying on the rows of mommy and daddy's shoes that are piled up at the front door.

Both girls are growing, growing, growing and I am happy to report that they were finally officially discharged from the preemie specialist's benchmark check-ups. Both girls are finally on the chart for normal height and weight (though they're both still on the small side) and they are now functioning at about a month ahead of their adjusted ages.
I can finally buy clothes in size 2t, yay! But, I have discovered that 2t is apparently the most popular children's size, boo!
