Catch Up

In attempt to catch up on some of the things that have been happening, here are some random pictures from the past few weeks.

The girls love to dress up. It's not uncommon for them to be draped with jewelry or layered in multiple outfits.

Elyse and I had a movie night after Anastasia went to sleep. I'm not sure why Elyse was making this face, but this is the best picture I got from her.

I would like to start a once a month tradition of doing something special at night with Elyse and then when Anastasia is older, both girls. This month we watched Winnie the Pooh the movie and then next time we might have a game night or swim at night.

Anastasia copies a lot of what Elyse does. In this picture Elyse is showing me her painted nails, so Anastasia had to show me her nails too. (I'm not sure why this photo is turned- I can't get it the other way)

When Toby is away we try and Skype with him as often as possible. Sometimes the girls sit for less than a minute and then go off and do their own thing and other times they are more engaged. This time they were in rare form and were running around putting on a show for their dad.

Hopefully I'll get totally caught up with the blog soon :)

Random Pictures

For some reason Anastasia LOVES my pajama bottoms and wears them around the apartment whenever she can find them.She wears them over her shoulders like this:

I got Anastasia's hair into her first ponytail today:

Just a cute sister moment. The girls are watching themselves in a video they made:

Way back in January Elyse and I started to make the letters of the alphabet. We have now completed it- both upper and lowercase letters- 11 months later. I am now in the process of making her an alphabet book (using her letters) on Shutterfly and will give it to her for Christmas.

Cozy

The other day all Anastasia wanted to do was get cover by a blanket. Over and over and over again. She looks so cozy :)

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures I have been meaning to post.

Look at Anastasia's new kicks- I got them at the exchange table at MOPS about a year ago and she can now wear them!

Daddy and his girls. Safety Starts with Me!

Elyse doing a painting project.

One day Elyse asked me to turn on the aircon so she could get under the blanket and be cozy. Anastasia decided to join her.

Playing dress up

The girls reading together

Like I said...random but worth sharing :)

I love them so!

14 Months and some random stuff

Today Anastasia is 14 months. She is such a delightful girl. She smiles and waves as people pass by, she laughs at her big sister, she tickles others and herself and she loves to dance to music- hands in the air and stomping her feet.

We don't need this car seat anymore so it's found a place in our apartment. Elyse decided she was going to build a car around it. In her car she likes to read.

Her car then needed a roof :)

I love how my girls are starting to play and hang out together. Her they are reading together:

For Elyse's birthday Grammy and Gramps gave her this ladybug costume. It is so darn cute. And, coincidentally, we had just checked out a Ladybug Girl book from the library which Elyse loves.
