I'm hosting a giveaway here! Go check it out :)

Santa brought this dump truck to Elijah when he was 9 months old. By the time he was Hazel's age...and wearing those exact frog pajamas I might add...Renée was pushing him around in it. He loved it. I suppose he remembered those fun times when he saw Hazel crawl into it yesterday. And, I think she LOVED it even more...unless you stopped, or slowed down like in the picture above. She likes to go fast. Crazy fast.

Elijah gave her a 15 minute ride. He got tired. She did not. She sat there and demanded to be pushed again...

Daddy took his turn.

Renée took hers...

She still wasn't ready to quit. The truck eventually had to go to "time out." She was sad. I guess riding Dumbo when your 6 days old makes you a thrill seeker.

working the system...

These two go to bed at 7.

Even on the weekends, because they NEED lots of sleep!

But I think they have me figured out.

If they can be this cute and sweet, then bedtime get postponed.

I mean, really, how could you not let these two angels stay up a few more minutes {hours}?

she loves me!

And she tells me all day! Wanna hear?

Mommy= "ma ma"

Banana= "ma ma"

Cheese= "ma ma"

More="ma ma" {while clapping hands}

All done= "ma ma" {with an occasional wave, sometimes clapping}

Bye Bye="ma ma"

Daddy= "ma ma"

Renée= "ma ma"

Elija= "ma ma"

Sounds confusing, but all are said with varying inflections {sometimes}. As of now, the only thing that gets a reaction other than "ma ma" is when we ask her, "Where's your tongue?" To which she opens her giant mouth and touches her tongue to her chin! Regardless, I think it's plain to see who's her favorite! :)

when the brother's away...

The sisters will play! Or at least, take over his chair and watch TV! Hazel took full advantage of having her big sister that can work the remote home all day--3 days in fact! She LOVES "Yo Gabba Gabba," and her mean mommy never lets her watch it. I guess that's what big sisters are for!This has been a loooong month! We usually NEVER get sick. In fact, Elijah hasn't taken any medicine in the past 2 years! Yes, years!

In the last 3 weeks--I had strep, Hazel had an ear infection, I got a horrible chest/sinus something, Renée got strep, Orum had chest/sinus junk, Hazel still has fluid in her ear, Elijah has an ear infection, and then immunizations and blood test for Hazel today. I've seen the pediatrician more this month than I did then entire last year!

I'm hoping for warm weather that sticks around. This sick business if for the birds!
