Did I mention that the girls are now sharing a room?

It is going pretty well. They are both asleep here in this picture. It is 8:35 on Wednesday morning and Delaney is down for her first nap and Frances is still asleep (but beginning to stir). Once Frances is asleep (and that is sometimes the problem) she is such a hard sleeper. The other night Delaney cried for around an hour and never disturbed Frances. Now our other bedroom is ready for any foster kids we might get or just for company to come and visit!

sweet and sour

Need I say more?

half way!

We are halfway done with our kitchen remodel/update! New stove and dishwasher are both in and working. Now we just need to get some countertops ordered and pick out a sink and faucet! Whoohoo!

Magic Medicine

Sitting with Frances at lunch today and I mentioned that she could probably have some more cold medicine soon. I was reading the label to her and told her what it would do. Make it so she could breathe better from her nose, stop sneezing, no more itchy eyes, nose, and throat and that it would even help her stop coughing. She then said "help me stop talking?!" That would be great! Let me know if there is such a medicine and I will buy stock!

Also, when I said it sounded like she had a frog in her throat. She informed me that Abana (her "friend") had a turtle in her neck! :)

Splish Splash Plop

Delaney LOVES bath time! Tonight she went from laying on her tummy to sitting up all on her own. I didn't know she could do that! Then, she was laying on her tummy again and I saw a little brown emerging. I whipped her out of the tub and put her on the toilet. I am NOT going to pretend that she is really potty trained but she did finish the job on the toilet! So crazy, one less diaper for me!

Relaxing Sunday...

Daddy took nap
Delaney played happily, trying to conquer new feats! She is trying to pull up on everything now! Peek-a-boo over, under, and around the exersaucer was REAL FUN!!
Mommy got out an old game from her officehen she worked. Frances thought it was AWESOME!!! Careful...Don't Break The Ice!
And the whole time it was sunny and snowing outside! Quite beautiful!

forgot to mention

I was talking with my mom the other night and casually mentioned Delaney's tooth. OOPS! I forgot to tell her that she had one! She officially has one tooth on the bottom and acts like she is getting more even though I don't feel anything in there. She is also able to drink from a sippy cup but struggles to tip it herslef. This weekend she figured out how to drink from a straw. I don't think my lemonade was really the best thing for her though so we will have to switch to water! Yesterday she ate homeade macaroni and cheese and loved it! she really likes to heat big people foods! Can't say I blame her!
