Gottcha! After about 20 pictures trying to get Nyla to smile, we got one! With Lizzy twirling in the back ground. How sweet! The girls love their twirly Easter dresses and I loved making them. I've noticed that black and white with a yellow accent has been a popular spring theme and I thought it was fun.

Lizzy testing her twirly skirt just to make sure it still works.

A few mud puddles and a hop, skip and a jump later Lizzy found the daisy flowers. Nyla likes to call the Dandy lions, "Daisy" lions lately. Its so cute, I'm not going to correct her. With the warmer weather coming, the dandy lions are coming out like crazy. Every day on the way home from the bus, Nyla will get off her bike every 20 feet or so just to pick a dandy lion or two. I get a fresh bouqet every day! I guess she likes to stop and pick the flowers. Good thing they are edible (thank you "Hunger Games") because Lizzy likes to stop and EAT the flowers! :)

True co-horts in crime. My friend came over to take pictures of the girls while I did a fitting with her daughter. Little did she know that when she took them outside, they made a straigh bee line for the mud ridden park. Why not? Its the best of both worlds where you get to twirl like a princess and play in the mud...in a freshly washed Easter dress! Sigh. Maybe Christopher won't like the mud so much. But who am I kidding?! :)

Here's little man hanging out in his entertainer. Most of the time he really enjoys himself and can really get those knobs and noise thingys going! But his love right now is the Johnny Jumper. Boy, he will jump in that thing until he puts himself to sleep! Most days he's good in there for about 20-30 min! He'll start jumping before I even get him in all the way!

Here was one of our snow days. Thats tons for us! Too bad we were kinda under the weather and Christopher was still pretty little to be taking out side when it snowed like this. But that didn't stop the girls from grabbing their coats and boots and heading out on the porch anyway!

Who needs toys? Nyla is our tower builder extraordinair. She was thuroughly amused for about a half hour building and re-building her T.P. tower. Thank goodness Lizzy was asleep other wise it would have been a T.P. disaster area.

Lizzy tried on these training under wear for me to see if we could use them for her for overnight. Neeless to say, we decided not to. It looks like she's about to take float! Nyla can't wear them because she's allergic to the elastic. But hooray for Lizzy who is 100% diaper free at 2! I'm so proud of her. She's learning how to say prayers and to floss and brush. She loves anything her sister is doing and adores anything that resembles a stuffed animal or blanket. My favorite thing she says right now is "Aw wight, momma". She also says "Yeth" and it is just too adorable. Its a good thing she is so stinking cute because she is just so busy! Everyday is a new day for her and she's revved and ready to go as soon as she opens her eyes. I must admit that she poops me out. Sometimes by 8:30 am!

Here is Nyla doing what she does best! Little Christopher is definately walking in her footsteps! He enjoys story time just as much as Nyla did when she was his age. She likes to play with him and is my big helper when it comes to grabbing a burp cloth, binky, etc. Christopher has nothing but smiles for his big sister.

Here's Nyla hanging out with her baby brother. She always lets me know if baby brother is crying or if she's helped out by giving him his binky. One of her favorite things to say is "OOHHH! He's so cute!" She loves to give him kisses too. It must be the red head bonding thing. :)

Here's Lizzy in a holding cell at the police station. I do hope this is the only time I ever find her in one! We were going on a field trip with ABC school to the police station. It sure was stinky in there. Lizzy's favorite part was testing out the cruiser out back! She jumped right into the drivers seat and would have taken off if someone had handed her the keys! She was sure trying to figure out how to get it started by pushing every button she could.

Here's little man showing off his dimples. He was watching me fold laundry at the time. Here he is wearing 6 mos clothes. Notice how short the arms are! He's now wearing 9mos clothes and he'll be 6 mos in 10 more days! He's growing sooo fast and filling up that hollow leg of his. Thank goodness he is starting to eat some solid foods. He's officially rolling over like a pro now and loves to grab for everything. He loves taking a bath with his older sisters in his little bath chair (thank you Breanna!) and likes to drink water from a cup. I remember Lizzy was that way too.
