Playing

These pictures were taken before Deborah started to crawl. The images are not the best quality but I love how each of them are doing their own activity. They love to play together but at times they like to do an activity by themselves. Now that Deborah is mobile they have to wait for her to be in a nap to have their special activities out.

Deborah 10 months

Our baby is growing up way too fast. She has been crawling for the past 2 weeks. She is so cute to watch. She is a noise maker, meaning she talks a lot. She is also very loud when she talks. She says "da da" all the time. It is also cute when she repeats the sounds we make. She is such a good baby and is super smiley. She also laughs very easily, especially when we tickle her. Content is a good word to describe her at this age, hopefully that will continue to be her behavior. Lately, she likes to scrunch her nose. It even leaves a line on the top of her nose. She eats great and sleeps great. She loves playing in the toy room now that she crawls. She has not tried climbing up the stairs which is good. She likes to go in the swimming pool and loves baths. Whenever we go to the gym the ladies that work there love her. One of the workers told me that a word to describe Deborah is "precious". She is very precious to us! She is such a joy to have in our family!

Julia 2 1/2 years old

Julia is 2 1/2 today. She is our silly girl with a big personality. She is so fun and is very dramatic. Stubborn is a word that can describe her a lot. She likes to do things her way and on her own time. She is so loving and gives hugs constantly. She is great at telling others that she loves them. During the day she will come up to me and say  "I love Daddy" or "I love you Mom". She is doing so much better at her speech. We can understand most of what she says but if she decides to tell us a long paragraph we usually have no idea what she is telling us. It is cute how she speaks and Dean will even say certain phrases like she does. She loves dancing, swimming, making Deborah laugh, playing with Dean, going to nursery, eating, drinking milk, hugging Daddy, cuddling, and watching Dora. She is still learning some of her colors but is good at counting. She likes having books read to her and is getting really good at puzzles. We love this girl and she brings a lot of entertainment in our home!

Dean's Couch Nap

Dean had an early morning, followed by a busy day, then a bloody nose which got all on his shirt and the floor (reason he is shirtless). This is him at 5 pm. I was feeding Deborah dinner and watched him fall asleep on the couch. I only let him sleep for 20 minutes and he did not want to wake up. He looks so cute sleeping!

Dean and Deborah

Dean  used to do this to Julia when she was a baby. He would dump out all the toys and place them around her. I guess some things never change even as he has gotten older.

Our Girls

Deborah had fun wearing one of Julia's tiaras. She sure looks cute in it. Julia decided to join in the fun and well the pictures show her goofy side! We sure love these girls!

Silly Kids

The other day Dean and Julia decided to take turns sitting in Deborah's carseat. They have not done this for months. They both look so big! It is crazy to think that they were little once. Time is going so fast!

These kids are silly!
