Things that make me Laugh
I wanted to jot some things down that Mikayla says, I don't want to ever forget how funny this girl is.
Whenever I get dressed for the day and she sees me holding up a shirt or pants, or even socks to put on she says, "Cuuuute!" (I have to admit, it makes me feel pretty good)
If she sees something that she really, really likes or she thinks it's pretty cool she will say, "OH. MY. GOLLY!" But the best part about her saying this is the way she does it. She drags each word out and then the last word, Golly is said with her tone raised.
When I ask her what color something is, and the object is white, it's never just plain, old white. Oh no. It's "Snow White"
She likes to pretend to cook like Remy from Ratatouille and she will warn Sophie that the pots and pans, are "Super Hot, baby Sophs, super hot."
If Steve takes her somewhere, as she is walking out the door, she will turn back to me, blow me kisses, and say, "See you later, be back in a minute, going to get meat."

My baby's 2!
I really can't believe that my little baby is two! I was looking at pictures from her first birthday and it shocked me just how much she has changed in a year. Everyday she gets more and more fun to be around and amazes me by how much she picks up. From her response of, "I don't know" when we ask her why she did something to "No, I'm not" when we tell her she looks tired, or "be back in a minute" when I ask her where she is going. This girl constantly makes me laugh.
Lately she has been into different Disney movies, so I decided to throw a Disney princess party. We invited her cousins that were born the same year she was and had a really fun time. Princess Party 2010!

Opposites
It is so amazing to me how two little girls with similar DNA could be sooo completely different. I wanted to record some of those differences so that in 20 years when the girls ask me what they were like I don't forget. Here's a list of some of the things I've noticed about the two.
Pregnancies for both were polar opposites. With Mikayla I hardly noticed I was pregnant. No sickness, no stretch marks, life was a dream. Sophia I was sick from day one, the mere thought of some foods sent me to the bathroom. Lots of back pain, sciatic nerve pain and tons of stretch marks.
Labor and Delivery: MIkayla was 25 hours with only 5 of those with an epidural (not by choice mind you). Sophia was 3 hours and I never felt one contraction.
Sleeping: Right off the bat Mikayla did really well with sleeping and still is a champ at sleep (she asks us for naps and often will walk into her room, climb up into the bed and take a nap on her own) Sophia is still struggling with the concept of sleeping through the night.
Weight gain: Mikayla started off gaining weight steadily and then it dropped off. Right now she is wearing size 12-18 month clothes. Sophia is my chunk a munk. She is wearing size 6-9 month clothes and she just barely turned 5 months. She is only one size away from Mikayla! (For most of you out there, that might not be that chunky, but for my kids, that's huge!!)
Teething: Mikayla got her first tooth at 10 months and we didn't see another one until 14 months. Sophie got two teeth at 4 months and two more are on their way in. Hence the no sleeping.
Personalities: Generally Mikayla is very outgoing, talkative and spunky. Sophie seems to be very sensitive and tender hearted. If Mikayla is crying about something, that will start Sophie as well.
It's amazing how much I love my two girls. They bring me such joy and what makes me so happy is the love I already see they have for each other. Just looking at the picture at the top of the page brings me such joy. I love you two!!

Week o Fun
Steve took the entire week off last week and we decided that we would plan something everyday so we could make the most of Christmas. It was so much fun and made it that much harder for Steve to go back to work this past Monday. We made some great memories and took some fabulous pictures. Here's our week in review
Saturday Dec 19: Went and saw Princess and the Frog. Loved it
Sunday Dec 20: Gee Family Christmas party. Wonderful
Monday Dec 21: Saw Christmas Carol. It was good, a bit too spooky for Sophie
Tues Dec 22: Made homemade ornaments and went on the Polar Express to meet Santa. A late night but worth it
Wed Dec 23: Sledding. Mikayla LOVED it, I think I burned 2,000 calories walking back up the hill once with Mikayla and sled in tow
Thur Dec 24: Christmas Eve with the Handys
Fri Dec 25: Christmas day. The best one of my life. Mikayal was so much fun and loved everything about it.
Sat to Sun: Up at the cabin with my mom and dad. Day full of sledding, snowman making and snowmobiling.
Mikayla got a princess outfit from Santa and she wears it EVERYDAY, it's so cute
Christmas Eve present, PAJAMAS!

Diaries of a Potty Trainer
Day 8
It's been more than a week since we've started this journey and so far so good. Mikayla has gone pee pees in the big potty everyday since we've started. She LOVES her potty chair. In fact, the hardest part about the whole process is that she wants to stay on it all day. She gets frustrated when she has just gone to the bathroom and can't get more out. So, she has started bringing books with her to the bathroom and will "read" until more comes out. I know we have a long road ahead of us until she is fully potty trained, but I like this beginning so far.
