hello!

we've been MIA, i know. i'm sorry! I use this i lue of a baby book so i'm more disappointed then you. things that have been going on:

MR is really into making plays up (like i'm the mean queen and she is the beautiful purple princess), playing hide-and-seek, counting/sorting. she really really wants to write her own name. so far she is able to write the letter 'M' and 'A'. she loves to test us. i could go on with the stories but i'm not sure i have enough room. not all of them are cute either :). Teddy is still number 1, of course.

fiona is 11 months! crazy. she just started to sign which is pretty cool. she can stand on her own for a couple of seconds. she is a lot more adventerous then MR. she wants to go everywhere and is quick. so she has taken several tumbles. she's pretty dramatic when she falls but always rebounds quickly. loves loves to eat, but is picky. she is sick almost every week. definitely from daycare. i'm hoping come 1 year, she'll have a superhero immune system.

we got some family photos done on new years eve. here is the link to the album. ive never been a part of a photo shoot so it was kind of strange. but i think the pics of the girls came out great.

talk to ya'll soon!

santa visit

they both were totally ok with santa. MR was in 'omg-i-can't-believe-i'm-meeting-santa' mode. Fiona had no idea what was going on. but if MR is ok with it, fiona is ok with it.

lulu.

lulu is our 'elf on the shelf'. MaryRyan gave him the name. he working like a charm :)

9 month check up for fiona

stats: 17lbs, 27.5 inches. she got a great check up. all good for ms. fiona. she is crawling all over the place. mama's, dada's and just beginning to hear some rasp-berries. no teeth yet! she is still sleeping great and loves to snuggle. very laid back lady. laughs soooo much. it's the greatest.

halloween 2011.

MaryRyan loves loves loves halloween. we were a little unsure at first because she didn't want to put on her costume for school. we even made a ladybug costume for teddy! but she didn't go for it. As soon as I picked her up from school all she talked about was how excited she was to go home and get in her costume. she and brian went out trick-or-treating and they hit up a ton of houses. she LOVED it!!!!! fiona is wearing MR's old pumpkin costume. she got tired out from all the excitement and was fast asleep by 6pm.
