School

I have been struggling and missing my babies so much. I am going to school 3 days a week and I have to leave them, it is sad. Leila sleeps almost the whole time I am gone and she takes a bottle, but for the first time the other day Sophia cried when I left and said "mommy please don't go stay here" it was sad...

New Pictures and updates

Sophia is such a big help with Leila and she talks so good now. The things she says amaze me, because not only does she repeat everything you say (very clearly) but she uses the words in the correct context. She loves to squish leilas cheeks and say "you're so chubby Leila, you're so chubby!" but when she says chubby it sounds like tubby. She also smooshed Miltons cheeks one day and said the same thing lol. One day Milton said I love you Sophia and she said I know it daddy I know it! She is so smart and adorable and loves her Leila so much! Sophia now weighs 23lbs 8 oz and is 35in tall. She is also 100% potty-trained now! She lets us know when she has to go and she will hold it if a potty is not readily available. She is a potty star!!

She LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba
Her first braids, so cute!

The first time we flat-ironed her hair!

Leila and her papa

Sophia eating crab at Mama and Papas house she loves it! I think her favorite part is the butter

Leila didn't get to join us for crab time, next year!

She loves tugging on her hair like this.

Leila is 4 months old now and she is so adorable! She gets super excited when she sees Sophia, she smiles and laughs and her feet and hands start going crazy. She loves her sister. She has not lost any of her hair since she has been born only grown more, she has a baby rattail (pictures to come). She weighs 15lbs 1 oz and she is 25.5 inches long

Update

So you have all seen the new pictures, but what is going on with us? Well Milton found a job!!! I am so excited, he starts next week, it is a temporary job but hopefully they will keep him on after it is over. Sophia is getting so big and she talks all the time now, she turns practically everything into a song. The other day in the car she was singing "mommy, daddy leila leila leila" it was so cute! She is almost 2 and coming into the terrible twos for sure, she is a sassy one! Leila is almost 7 weeks and she is big! She is already in size 3 months cloths, which Sophia did not wear until she was actually over 3 months, she already wears size 1 diapers and she is growing so much. She smiles a lot and she has a dimple in each cheek. She was in the hospital for 3 days when she was 10 days old because she had a pneumonia (not sure on spelling) and it was really sad, especially because Sophia could not visit because they were concerned with swine flu, but she is doing much better now. I am excited that Milton has a job yet nervous because he works from 8-4:30 then has school from 5:40-9:20 so we will probably only see him on Sundays for the few hours we are out of church and not doing homework!

Blessing

Leila was blessed on Sunday November 8th and she wore the same beautiful dress Sophia wore.

Dont know how to turn this one...
