A few funnies...

Lydia, found some bathing suits and brought them out to the front room where Etta was playing.  Etta saw them and grabbed one and said "That's my bra".  Then when we told her it was a swimming suit, she tried to pull it on over her feet and it was getting stuck and she started complaining, "It's my swimming soup".

Every night after I put Lydia down and Justin puts Etta down, Etta says to him "Go get Mommy, tell her to come in here."  When I go in there she says she wants to sing a few songs.  the songs we like to sing that she knows entirely are

When ever I hear the Song of a Bird..
I am a child of God
Popcorn Popping
ABC's
Twinkle Twinkle
I love to see the Temple
Wheels on the Bus


Lately at night when we are singing Etta has been talking about a pretend dinosaur that is trying to tickle her feet.  I tell the dinosaur that he has to go to bed, then she likes to help me boss the dinosaur around.  "No Dinosaur!  Go to bed, in the corner!"  "No, tickle my feet Dinosaur!"


Lydia is such a joy right now.  Justin and I are constantly talking about how cute she is.  She LOVES to dance to music, and will do a little stomping to the music... she also stomps her feet when she is mad.  She has her opinions, and she lets you know about them.

About a two weeks ago when I was putting Lydia to bed we had just finished our family prayer and Etta and Justin were saying goodbye.  Lydia, stopped nursing turned to them and said for the first time perfect as day (while waving) "Nigh-nigh", and turned back around to continue nursing.  All three of us were dumbfounded!  It was so cute!

She loves to try and use forks and spoons right now, and she actually does get some food in her mouth every once in a while.


Here are some recent pictures!  (from last Sunday except the first one!)

This picture is sorta messed up, and she has chocolate drool all over her face, but I LOVE this cheeser she loves to flash at us!  She does this whenever she knows she isn't supposed to be doing something...

Talking on the remote control!

Kitty is probably Lydia's favorite toy... poor kitty!

Lydia climbed up on our hearth and was dancing!  It was really cute! 

Etta found the harmonica, and Lydia was really impressed!

Funny Things

Etta sayings:

My personal favorite : "I love you so much"  she says it about everything.  But it melt your heart when she stops looks and you and says "Mommy, I love you so much!"

"It'll be fun?!..."  If she wants to do  something, like watch a movie or go out side, she will say "Let's go outside?.. It'll be fun?, Okay- yeah- sure."

Call me back, kay?  (Etta LOVES the phone, she always is impatient fer her turn, she doesn't care who she is talking to.  Although Grandpa's might be her favorite.

She refers to Grandma and Grandpa as Grandpa and Grandpa....  She knows how to say grandma, but it usually comes out the other way!  So funny!

"I wake up in two hours, alright?"  I told her one day that she needed to take a nap for two hours, now when ever she goes to bed she says that... AND in the morning she will say "I wake up, I sleep two hours."

"I want some ice water."  (it absolutely MUST have ice in it!)

Dogs "barf"  (bark)

"Medicim" (medicine)

When Lydia is sad she will hold out her hands and say in a really loving tone "c'mere Lydia, I'n a hold you"

When Justin is at work she says "Daddy come home tomorrow?"

The other night when tucking Etta into bed she asked me to "Kiss my horefead."  (forehead) (1/12/12)

We have an big huge sofa ottoman in the living room.  Etta laid down on it on her stomach and was pulling herself across it on her belly.  She said "Look!  I'm climbing.... like a fish" (1/11/12)

She knows she is not supposed to say stop it, to mommy and daddy ( and pretty much everyone else since she yells it in a pretty rude way!)  But she will catch herself saying it she starts yelling "Sto-" realizes she will get in trouble if she continues so she ends it in any other way she can... like Sto-(quitely and slowly) llk -it"  and then smiles like she just got away with something that I didn't know about.

She really likes to draw.  She is always asking us to draw hearts, starts, dinosaurs, sunbeams, happy faces and outline her hands, then ours.


Lydia:

Lydia, is such a sweet and funny baby.

She is very dramatic, and you can actually see her practicing her fake cry.  If you respond to it, she will give a sly smile while trying to continue fake crying, but she knows at that point that she has already won, as she teeters her way over to you.

She loves to squeal with joy right now.

She loves to sing songs.  If I sing, she will vocalize with me, and swing her hands and feet to the music!

She loves to follow Etta around.  Today while I was making a treat for Relief Society I didn't realize Etta had swiped a box of cereal.  But, it only takes about a minute of silence for me to know something is up.  I found them in the back of my closet, trying to open the bag... Etta kneeling down and Lydia crouching over her waiting for the goodness to be shared!  It was REALLY cute.

Lately when I get Lydia up from naps... from which she usually has at least a ten minute wait (you can call me a bad mother, but it is okay for them to play a little when they wake up before being "rescued!")  Anyway, I come in and she is usually standing there with a HUG smile on her face, squeals with delight and then looks down at the floor around her crib, where she has been chucking all of her toys.

She absolutely loves lift the flap books right now.  Every time I open a flap she happily screams with joy!

She knows what bags chocolate chips come in.  If she sees me making anything with chocolate chips she will whine until she gets one...

She is still really light, but she is a really good eater.  She loves food, and loves to rub it in her hair.  And it is almost impossible to keep a bib on her.

She loves to cuddle her blanket and stuffed animals.  Especially some little kittens that we have, she always shows me them when she finds them, she LOVES Kitty!

Here are some funny pictures I took of a tent I made for my babysitter.  I mad ea  pattern for my blog Remodelaholic.  The girls where perfect models... and I didn't even dress them to match, but they both did, so it is even cuter!
