I'm finally getting a chance to make a post! This weekend was pretty busy.
Not only was Saturday Elena's birthday, but Jamin and I went to see Chris Tomlin. The concert was Jamin's birthday present and just happened to fall on Elena's birthday.
Elena and Vera went to a baby sitter for the first time ever. It was hard for me to leave them, but they had a blast.
Now for the much-anticipated photos ;)
(Be warned, there are lots)
A recent conversation between Elena and me:
Me: What's up?
Elena: Good.
Me: No, what's up?
Elena: Good.
Me: No. When someone asks, "what's up?" you tell them what you're doing.
Me: What's up?
Elena: Doing good.
...sigh
So, a few nights ago, I taught Elena to put her pajamas under her pillow in the mornings. Well, last night when I told her to get them, they weren't there. I had her look in the living room and my bedroom. She could not find them.
Later, when I was getting into bed, I picked up my pillow and guess what I found... Elena's pajamas. Lol.
I remember her getting dressed in my room, but I don't remember her putting her pajamas away. That definitely made me smile. :)
At our last place I tried two years to get a garden going. The first year, the neighbor kids "helped" me by digging in the pots. The second year I killed the plants myself via neglect.
I hope third time is a charm. :p
Elena and I spent Saturday afternoon filling our pots with soil and seeds. Now we wait. It rains a lot here, so I don't have to worry much about that.
We planted; broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, spinach, zucchini and zinnias. In about three months we should have some vegetables (and flowers)!
Two little girls have been keeping me busy! Once they are in bed (finally!) I can actually get stuff done. That hasn't included a blog post, though.
Tonight, however, I can't sleep. So... Yay?
Sunday, after church, we went to the park and I took pictures of the girls. Have to have pictures of them dressed up for Easter. Elena hunted Easter eggs in our living room when we got home. She was so excited! She was with me when I bought the eggs, so she asked me all week if she could have them. We never got around to dyeing eggs :( I think we'll still do that this week, though.
Vera is eating more "big people" food. She isn't super coordinated about getting it into her mouth. Most of the food ends up in her chair. Today she had some chicken, rice and green beans.
Elena spends most of the day drawing princesses.
Nothing else new to report. I leave you with pictures :)
Vera is 8 months old!
She is a very busy baby. Here is what she has been up to:
Crawling, pulling herself up, trying to stand unsupported (!), waving, vacuuming my floor, says dada and mama, trying out foods, weighs 16 lbs, and is now wearing 9mo sized clothing.
