This started because Megan and I were trying to figure out what language to learn and Emma started laughing hystarically when we were "trying" out Greek.

Day 126 Monday, March 8, 2010
Well. Hmmm. Has anything happened since my last post? Not really. Were pretty boring people. Just trying to get ready for out trip to the East! We are SO excited. Maddy talks about going on an airplane to see Pah Ran, Mah Ran, the Chile Bums, Minna, Lolo, Kelly, Gma and Papa and the list goes on...and on....and on. I didn't realize we were seeing so many people!!
Update on Maddy....
We have officially hit a potty training milestone today! She got up (mostly dry) and told Meggie she had to go potty. Fully clothed and in a diaper she told her she had to go! Usually she has to be naked or she just pees in her clothes. YAY!! We may have this down before our trip! Wouldn't that be nice?!
Update on Miss Emma.....
Emma has discovered her tounge as you can see from the pictures below. She has also discovered necklaces. She prefers them to be on a person though. This one is good during church to keep her quiet but other than that usually just annoying. Its ok though. Shes learning so much! She scoots too. Not very quickly and her face is rubbing the ground but she can get there! And she took a 3 hour nap yesterday! That was awesome. Now if she would only sleep thru the night.
Update on me.....
Yeah I dont do anything cool. I am trying to get into running though. Not so good at it still but I will be! I really like it. Its bout the only thing I can do with both babies. I think we will all like it more once the weather warms up. Oh, and Im learning French. SO excited about that. Megan has to take 3 years worth of Foreign Language to apply to Cornell and Harvard so we are taking it together. I would love to know another language. I've decided we should reward ourselves with a trip to France once we finish! We shall see about that one huh? Ok, well I guess Ive neglected my kids long enough. Enjoy my beautiful babies!! I know I do....well, most of the time.
Her tounge is ALWAYS out.
Another of Maddys creations....this one must be for Daddy and Pah Ran and the Chiles.
So the girls were so cute yesterday. These are the outfits we had them in for our family pics when Emma was born. Needless to say, Emma's was a little small. Ok, VERY small. It didn't even cover her bum. I had to put Maddys bloomers on her because hers wouldnt even go over her thigh. Then I had to keep her sweater on because the dress wasn't buttoned in the back! I wanted them to wear them one more time. Dont think I can make it happen again if I wanted to!
And....carrots! YUM!

She didn't want to cooperate for a picture. Thomas wanted to see what they were wearing. Maddy picked the outfits today. They matched. But Maddy was with Tanji while we went Prom dress shopping for Megan. We found a dress and it is AMAZING!!! Cant wait to put up pics of that one!
What is up with the weather?!?!?!?! Its making me VERY VERY crazy.
And....carrots! YUM!
Love my little fatty face!

Mommy and Me
On Thursdays we go to Mommy and Me. It's the closest thing we can get to preschool right now. Maddy LOVES it! So does Emma. Maddy loves to play with friends and sing lots of songs. She likes to play the games at home too. They have a flat thing thats hard to describe. Its like a half moon thing thats flat on top and it rocks. Emma lays on it the entire time if I let her! She just rocks and watches the other kids. Sometimes she has a hard time staying awake! I love it! Where do I get one?!? This video is one of the many songs. I like to watch her gallop. (Not in the video, just cute.)
Right now Maddy is singing along to the Dinosaur Train theme song. I think it's funny that she knows these songs now. She doesn't really watch much tv. (Unless Im trying to update my blog!) She picks up songs so fast! And there is a commercial for Barbies potty training puppy. Yes you potty train the puppy. Wierd, I know. But Maddy gets so excited! It's her favorite commerical and she scream, "Like me mommy! Like me!!" Because shes potty training too! Speaking of potty, we are quickly running out of potty treats......
Emma Sits All By Herself!!
This is from a couple weeks ago but Im just getting around to posting it. So big!!
February 2010 Day 120
Wow, I guess it's been about 2 weeksish since I posted last and I've been getting yelled at. So much has happened since my last post!! Very exciting things.
Maddy is "almost" potty trained!! She goes really well during the day. Usually no accidents. The only time she has problems is when we are out or she's playing with Coelbin and forgets. YAY!! No more diapers!! Well, she doesn't wake up dry so we use them at night still.
Emma sits up and scoots everywhere!! And we sorta kinda started solids. She loves them but evenings are so busy that it's hard to fit it in. She's 6 mths old now though so I better find time. I don't do it earlier in the day because shes so messy. Ill probably have to though.
Thomas also told me a rumor that they might get to come home early. It would be nice if that rumor was true. I'm not holding much stock in it though because he hears that same rumor every time and he's yet to come home early.
We got our travel plans finalized for NC and VA in March! I am SO excited!! (While Im typing this, Maddy is watching Super Why, and singing the alphabet and pointing out the letters. She is so smart.) Anyways, we are going to NC to see Gma and Papa Winters just because we love them. While we are there we are going to see Chad and Jess and Amanda and Lolo are having their baby so hopefully we can see them too! Then we are heading up to VA for the Chiles birthday. Big 3! And Pah-Ran will be coming home for R&R so he can see his Squishy. We miss them so much. And I need some Mary time. Keegan won't mind if I steal his family will he?? Hope not!!
Im sure more has happened but that's all I can think of right now. Enjoy!!
This pic isn't from Feb, its from January when Margie and I went to see Avatar in IMAX 3D. Awesome!! Are we adorable??
March 1, 2010. Maddy and Michael making brownies.
One of Maddys many phone creations.
Oh poor baby Emma. Sweet poor baby Emma. She did NOT love this.

Emma likes to have something covering her face to fall asleep. Usually its my hand but today she used hers.
Maddy refuses to sit still for me to take pictures so thisis usually the best I can get. Which is why there is so many of Emma. She cant run away yet!!
Maddy wanted me to take a picture of Snow White.
It was bedtime so of course Maddy had to dress up as a princess puppy to prolong bed.
I LOVE this pic!! She had carrots for the first time. Her first food actually. Shes had rice a few times but this is real food! She didn't want me to stop feeding her!
Emmas first baby Mum Mum. Loves them!!
Im a big girl! Emma can hold her own bottle!
My new hair. I really like being brunette. Thanks Lacey!! I don't think Ill ever go back to blonde. Kinda crappy pictures but I just wanted a pic of my hair.
I like this picture because Emma is a turd. She was really upset so I gave her to Meggie. And this is what happened! Megan is Maddy and Emmas favorite person. Even over me!!!!! What's up with that??
Ok, yes, its a sad face but shes not sad. My mom would make that face and she would repeat it. It was hilarious!!
Oh, and shes way into spitting right now.
She LOVES sippy cups. Don't you DARE try to take it away though!
Maddy LOVES to "get Emma" when she wakes up. I have to be really fast because if Maddy even hears her sigh or grunt on the baby monitor she jumps up, yells "Emmas awake!!" and runs into her room and climbs in her bed to play with her. It's very annoying.
One of Maddys many phone creations.
Maddy is reading her "scrippers" (scriptures).
Oh poor baby Emma. Sweet poor baby Emma. She did NOT love this.
Emma really tolerates a lot. Maddy is ROUGH!
I love watching them play together. Maddy can really get Emma laughing. They are so sweet together. I hope they are great friends growing up.
Telling secrets.
This reminds me of photos in my photo album from when I was a kid. My mom put a comment that I "can sleep anywhere." Guess we know who Maddy takes after!
Big girl panties!!
More of my new hair.
Maddy and her new dollhouse. She LOVES it. So does Coelbin.
My hair right after Lacey finished coloring it.
Oh sweet baby Emma. I can't say that enough. She is AMAZING. Always, ALWAYS happy.
Little Miss Fat Cheeks.
Huh??
Maddy loves to wear headbands, multiple headbands apparently.
Can you tell she likes to read her "scrippers"? Hope it lasts.
Ok, so I rarely let Emma sleep on my bed. The one day I do I go in after she wakes up and she had turned completely around and scooted to the diaper bag and proceeded to emtpy it. She's starting way to early.
