20 months & 20 weeks

Lilly was 20 months on 1/9 and I was 20 weeks on 1/9.  And we all better get ready for the little girl on the way.  This means that somehow we are going to have to let Lilly know that throwing her baby dolls on the floor and laughing at the sound it makes is not a good idea!  Poor Dela will have to be double buckled into everything to keep herself out of harms way.  kidding aside...

Lilly is so funny and so challenging right now.  The terrible 2 tantrums have begun.  When she does not get her way she throws herself on the ground which we just laugh at.  What we don't laugh at is her other way to express her anger - hitting her forehead on the wall!  Someone please tell me this phase will end before my child is being fitted for a helmet.
Did I also mention that she now H-A-T-E-S to have her diaper changed?  Potty training will begin as soon as the move is completed.
What we are loving right now is now much she loves to sing.  She will go through all of her songs like she is going through a setlist.  Her favorites are Bye Bye Black Sheep and Twinkle Twinkle.
She is OBESSED with Yo Gabba Gabba to the point where as she walks in the door from school she grabs the remote and says Yo.
Sometimes she will grab your hand and say "walk".  She will then take you where she needs you and will say "help".  We love that we are all starting to communicate with each other.
Now if only I could get her to eat...

Dela is now 20 weeks.  She is measuring 20.5 weeks but it really doesn't matter because her birthday will be set.  Which means I am more than halfway through with this pregnancy (c-section at 39 weeks)!
She is a mover and a shaker, way more than Lilly was.  She doesn't really have a set schedule yet so it still throws me off a little when she does move around.  We still have not nailed down a middle name.  In our spare time (insert laugh here) we throw stuff around but nothing is set in stone yet.  We have plenty of time though, right?

You will get pictures of Lilly and the bump soon as we are a little stressed getting the house ready to go on the market!

All About Dela

We had a great New Year's Eve and hope that everyone else did as well.  We got some great news about Dela on Thursday.  All of our test came back normal.  Her heart, kidney's, brains, stomach and spine all look great.  She has ten fingers and ten toes and she is right on target with her growth!  Last night she gave me a special gift while I was watching TV with Lilly (Yo Gabba Gabba of course).  I had my hand resting on top of my stomach and she kicked it.  This little one is super active and I have been feeling her movements for a quite some time but it was very unexpected to actually have her kick me.  Paul did not get to feel it because of course when I yelled for him, I scared her and she got quiet for awhile.  Soon though!

Now that the holidays are over, we are packing and getting ready for the big move.  My resolutions for 2012 are to just go with the flow, not to take life to seriuously and just let it be.  I will just do as the french say,
