Babies are amazing. They change so much so very quickly. Everyday they discover something new and with that, you get to discover a new part of their personality and the person they will become.
Yesterday, Madeline was coming to see me while I was sitting on the floor and feeding Lily. Maddy crawled right over, put her little hands on my knees and stood up. The amazing part... She let go. She just stood there in front of me, looking at me, and balancing herself. That lasted for close to 10 full seconds. She continued to do that a few more times yesterday. Since we made such a big deal out of it, everytime she did so she would get all excited, knowing she did something great.
A few hours later, I was looking at my munchkin and realizing she wasn't opening her mouth at all. That usually means that she's snuck something in her mouth. So I reach in, searching her mouth for some object that isn't allowed in there. What do I find? A sharp little tooth broken through the gums... She's growing so quickly.
Phil and I made such a big thing over the tooth, I guess Mariana got jealous. She came walking over... "Look I have teeth (Smiling big to show us her teeth)! See I'm not a baby anymore, I have teeth." I LOVE MY GIRLS!!!!

Lazy Blogger
Apparently, I am getting lazy with my blog again. So, lets see what's going on.
I got another A in my English class. My last paper is due this Saturday and, as long as I get above a C-, I have an A for the course. The hard part for me would be not working my tail off on the paper anyway. I know I don't need a perfect paper, but I will have difficulty realizing that when I sit down and begin working on it for real. Alas, God why must I be a perfectionist?
My babies are WONDERFUL!!! As if everyone doesn't already know that. Madeline is so big. She crawls everywhere. If there is a way for her to stand, she pulls herself up and stands. She scales the couch, chairs, coffee tables, and anything she can hold onto while doing the little side walk, lol. She's also quite vocal. You'd never know such a big voice could come out of one so tiny.
Mariana is doing extremely well. She's very sweet and loves her baby sister. She's doing great in Ballet and still loves going to "Dance School" every week. Her recital is in June. She's going to go in dance over the summer as well. I think its important for her to stay in it, since at her age consistency is best. She's also going to be in Fairy Magic Dance Camp this summer. It is one week long from 9 AM til Noon everyday. I think she'll love it and I think it will be a great way for her to be around other children.
I still have sweet little Lily throughout the week. She's a gem to have around and she and Maddy are pretty much on par with development. In terms of movement and such, they both keep my hands full. If i put them in the stroller and take them anywhere, I get "Oh TWINS!" They don't look like twins. But 2 babies at the same height and age, one mom, what else are people to think? My favorite statement... "GOOD LORD HAVE YOU GOT YOUR HANDS FULL!" I reply, "Oh no, they aren't twins. This one is my daughter and this is my niece." To which I get, "Are they the same age?" I want to look at the person and say, "No, she's 9 months and she's 23." But of course, I cannot be THAT rude... So I reply, "1 day apart." Some people are relieved for me that they aren't twins and then others want to know how me and my sister-in-law managed to get pregnant so close together. Hey if their parents didn't explain it to them, and they didn't figure it out when they had babies, who am I to inform them....
I've started working. In a manner of speaking. I've become a Partylite Consultant. My first party is this Saturday. Meghan will be my first hostess. I'm excited about it and I shall update how it's going periodically.
Phil took his last two tests toward his certification. One more class and my hubby gets his Professional. Hurray!
Thats about it. Sorry these get so long. If I kept up with it, they'd be shorter and more frequent.
