Long time........

Been MIA for a few weeks. Not too much has happened over the past few weeks. Morgan is doing good. We had a mommy and daughter day today...just Morgan and I. We went out to lunch, shopping, and to the movies. It was such an awesome day. We are planning to do a mommy and daughter day more often.........maybe once a month.

Bella continues to keep us all very busy. Let's see...."mommy, come on!" and "no" are frequent words from our lil' miss Bella. She amazes us every day with her language. She is such a smart little girl. Sometimes, too smart. She is so good and listens at daycare but with me, the complete opposite. Boy is she a handful and I know my parents are loving this.

Will post some pics tomorrow.

GOING STIR CRAZY

We have been stuck in the house for over a week now and are going crazy. well, I am . Morgan is quite content with her Wii, DS, videos, books, and toys. Bella is quite content with tearing the house apart. I am ready to go back to work!

Bella now say "come on" when she wants you. She speaks in short sentences, although most words blended together. She loves to sing the ABCs and count to 10!

Most Awesome News!!!! Bella has pee peed in the potty two times in the past few days. She has always wanted to play with her potty...putting it on her head and putting toys in it. Now, when I go potty, she goes potty. She likes to read books and look at the toys r us catalog from Christmas while sitting and trying.

BELLA PEE-PEE'D IN THE POTTY!

Bella pee pee'd in her potty tonight for the first time. We went into the bathroom to brush her teeth at night night time and she went to sit on her potty. She usually does this with her clothes on. Well, TMI alert, I had to go, too so I said to Bella, "let's go pee pee." I unzipped her pjs and took off her diaper and she sat and I sat. She stood up and I saw pee pee!!! She was like, what?? I was so excited and then she looked in potty and was so proud of her self. YEAH BELLA!

Ok....now for snow news. We have 30" on the ground and are expecting 16-26" more. Craziness. We are out of school through next week. Will post snow totals tomorrow night...

Blizzard of 2010

I can't believe that we actually got 30 inches of snow already and are expecting more! This is nuts. We are definitely snowed in. I am glad I took Bella to the dr. yesterday, as she was not feeling well. If I had waited, we would have been in big trouble. She has an ear infection and a sinus infection. Dr. put her on antibiotics.

So, back to the blizzard. Crazy amounts of snow and we are snowed in. Enjoying it so far. Not sure when they will get the streets plowed but thankfully we have plenty of food and a good cook, Greg. Here are some pictures from today and also some pictures of Bella and Morgan in last week's snow.

Bella amazes us each and every day with the things she can do. Just the other night, she sat at the dinner table and said "poop diaper new one." That is 4 words!!!!! She is growing so fast. She is now 18 months old. She is still tiny for her age, although doing well on the growth curve. She is in the and always has been in the 15th percentile for weight but in the 75th percentile for her height. Her favorite things right now are:

The Wiggles (esp the song "Everybody dance...everybody Sing")

To color (we prefer on paper but she prefers walls, tv, doors, and windows :( )

Dacing to music and videos

Elmo

Her "Wuzie" (her Lovey)

Bathtime

Chilling with her daddy

Being outside

Being Miss independent

Until next time

January 15, 1998...My sweet sweet Morgan was born. She just turned 12 ! 12 years have gone by since Marvin Gaye played in the delivery room. 12 years have passed by since we first saw your sweet angel face. We cannot believe that you are already 12. 1 more year and you will be a teenager...CRAZY!

Last night, Morgan celebrated her 12th birthday with some of her friends. She planned a chocolate themed sleepover. The girls had so much fun...although I have made a mental note to self....do not have a chocolate theme birthday party at night. The girls were so WIRED! They had a blast with chocolate candy making, chocolate fondue with fruit, and a viewing of Willy Wonka.

Oh.....and before her party, I was helping morgan straighten her room. I found a pouch under her pillow with teeth in it. I asked her what it was. She told me that she decided to put them under her pillow like a week or so after loosing them (she did not tell us they were under her pillow). She said ,"hmmmmm.....I guess the tooth fairy didnt know they were under there....I guess YOU are the toothfairy." :(
