Walking!!!!

Lily is walking! I can't believe it! She started yesterday by taking about 4 quick steps, without holding on to anything before she fell. And now, today, she is taking more and more steps! Kyla and Emery did not do this until about 1 - 2 weeks after they turned 1 year old. Lily is 11 months. She won't be a year old for another 17 more days! It's so funny to watch her walk because she really gets a kick out of it and laughs the whole time! She thinks it's funny that she is walking. Its hilarious. Oh, wow! My baby is growing so fast. Why do they do that! Why??? Why???

I look at Kyla and I am amazed at how quickly the last 6 years went by. She talked really early. She was so smart! And, she was so funny as a baby, so dramatic, and loved to be the center of attention. I was just watching a lot of videos from when Emery was a baby, and was reminded of how smiley she was and how much she loved to dance whenever she heard music! Even now we call Emery "The Ballerina in Boots" because she loves her boots!

Lily is a good combo of both of them. She, like Kyla, has been saying words since about 6 1/2 months old. Now she loves to make the animal sounds when she sees them, or when we ask her. Emery did the same thing! And she dances whenever she hears music. So cute! It has been so much fun watching my girls grow and watching them explore their world. I can't wait for what the future holds.

Once Upon a Time I Used to Blog!

FINALLY A BLOG POST!!!! Not that I have a lot of followers or anything. But for the two of you who keep asking me when I am going to post, this one is for you.

So, its been about 7 months since I last blogged so what is new?

Well...
Lily is 7 months older and has two bottom teeth, and the two upper teeth are finally popping out! Emery is almost three (next month) and really enjoys making messes, playing "Cars" and watching Bolt. Kyla started Kindergarten back in August, (we decided to put her in school instead of continuing to home school), she lost her two bottom teeth back in November, and turned 6 in December! And God blessed us with being able to buy our first house!!!!

Oh, and Mauro's parents (from Chile) are visiting and will be staying for a few months to help with some home improvement projects. What a blessing it has been to have a live in handy man, cook, and nanny. And we don't have to pay them! And hopefully the girls will start picking up some more spanish.

Enjoy the pics!
