Awkward maybe?

I took the girls to Yogurtland for a treat after their first week of day care. (ok, Taylor got froyo and Sabrina nom'd on a spoon).

A heavier set lady walks in, and goes to fill up her cup of froyo.

Taylor sees her, looks at me while pointing to her and says "biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig"

Lucky for us, the lady didn't hear Taylor. I looked at Taylor and said, let's not point and say that, etc. She proceeded to repeat herself 4 more times.

Zoinks!

Vocab report

Sabrina:
Dadadada
babababa
dadadabababaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Taylor:
This used to be easy. I would list out her new words.
Now, she talks. She just says sentences, thoughts, questions, DEMANDS. Its hard to keep track and record her "vocab milestones"

We were playing with her Little Einsteins dolls and she has full paragraphs of conversation. "let's put Quincy in the rocket then take out and put Annie in the rocket. Ok, now Leo's turn. Put Leo in the rocket"

She also recognizes her name when reading as well as recognizes certain letters.
T is for Taylor
S is for Mina (yes, technically that should be M is for Mina, but you get the point)
M is for Mommy
D is for Daddy
A is for Apple.

Love them!

New Day Care

We moved the girls to a new day care. One with a preschool program for Taylor. They are both doing great! Taylor loves being there and playing on their playground and making new friends. We've seen a change (for the better) in her already!

Another perk of Sandra's day care? The kids are more tired and sleeping better! Win win for everyone!

Saluations

Taylor is so cute. She knows when I am getting ready for work. Its probably the fact that I am actually getting out of sweats which triggers her to realize something is up. "No work mommy!" She says. Its adorable, but makes it so hard to have to leave. She really just wants me to stay and I can't.

But...when I actually say good bye to her, she gets extra cute. "More Beso mommy! More Kisses mommy!" We go through about 3 rounds of kisses before I get to the door. Usually, the last thing I hear from her is "bye mommy...soon!" (as in bye mommy, see you soon!)

Food

I started Sabrina on solids yesterday. I fed her some oatmeal and she devoured it! It was almost like she has had solids before, or we've been holding out for too long. Either way, it was a success.

We can't believe we have brought out the high chair already!

Read This Mina

Taylor has some high expectations of her sister. This morning, she kept putting toys (with words on them) in front of Sabrina and demanding "read this Mina"

My finger got stuck!

I took Taylor to the grocery store with me the other evening. She managed to get her finger stuck in the shopping cart for about 5-10 seconds. Not a big deal. All was well after I got her finger out. No damage, nada.

For the next 45 minutes, everytime we passed another shopper, Taylor would make her mark. It went like this:

1. Wave and say Hi...over and over and over...until the person turns, smiles and says hi.
2. She smiles
3. Immediately says "My finger got stuck and I got an owie"

I only want to write about this because she made so many people stop and smile. Its not ever easy to go grocery shopping with a kid in tow..but it is surely still enjoyable if i'm with one of my girls. :)

Chloe's 2nd Bday

Our friend's daughter's 2nd bday party was on Saturday and it was at a place called Little Gym. Its basically a small gymnastics place for kids as young as 4 months old. Taylor loooooooooooooooooooooved this place. She was especially in love with walking the balance beam and jumping into my arms at the end. She was such a doll just running around, jumping and playing with her friends. Even Sabrina got in on the action!

She has been asking for Chloe every day since "Where did Chloe go?"

Dadadadadadada

Taylor started with Mama...

Sabrina is starting with Dada.

She's babbling so much these days. Its so fun to hear what her voice sounds like.

JUST NOT AT 3AM!

Owie All Gone

I had a random scratch on my face. Mike tells Taylor.."look Mommy has an owie". Taylor quickly comes over, gives me a big kiss and says "Owie all gone"

She is such a sweetheart!
