January catchup

I figure I need to do some quick updating. Lots of fun things have been happening in our life. Our diva is growing up so fast. The other day while in the tub with her big sis she started kicking water at her sis after her sis started splashing her. The war was on. They took turns splashing each other it was so so cute. Also, on Tuesday she started doing rasberries. She just sticks out her tongue and goes at it. I've learned this is one way she tells me she is finished with her food especially the non milk kind. She's been trying new things. She loves squash, bananas-are ok, frozen strawberries (in a mesh teether toy), rice and oatmeal. Rice is getting too blah for her b/c she will eat a lot of the other food but rice only a little bit. Our princess is starting to read a lot more. She likes reading to our diva and our diva likes listening. She tries to hold the books like her big sis. Our diva also likes to sit and stand up all the time while holding our hands. She has started to take a few steps. I keep telling her she needs to crawl first but she wants to be just like her big sis. Heavenly Father has truly blessed me with two beautiful daughters.
This past week has been really weird. On Tuesday we got our first "snow storm"-about 3 inches. Our princess got off school early. Then on Wednesday b/c it rained on Tuesday night which made a icy covering on the snow got her first snow day. Which for the school district she is in is unusual. Everywhere else they close the schools but our school is usually always in school. Then Thursday and Friday were teacher prep days. Boy am I going to be happy when school is back in session. :) Although it's been nice to sleep in (well as much as I can) and not have to worry about working around her schedule with our divas feeding schedule. Our princess has loved today since she was able to play her game (Princess adventure game) on the wii. Normally we have to set up the projector but her daddy set it up on the computer which was nice.

Something funny that happened around Christmas time was that while we were traveling back from my moms our princess said "I just saved "our divas"(name substituted) life". My man and I looked at each other. She continued and said that she put the hood of the carseat up so that "she didn't get blind". We had been talking to her about watching out for her little sis b/c the sun can hurt hers and our eyes if we look at it directly. The things they remember...

I'll have to post pics next time. I have some cute ones of the girls around christmas time and also ones of their first "real snow" which stuck on the ground.
