A Day in the Life...

She is the bomb of a kid.  She's also two and has the attitude of it.  She loves to say, "Shh" when she's told to do something, or just a flat "no."  She is pretty good natured and a complete junk food junkie.  Now that the bottle is gone, she hasn't had milk in months and will have nothing to do with it, even in cereal.  Not even chocolate/strawberry milk, not with a straw, not in a sippie, not in a regular cup.  Determined and stubborn girl.   But she is eating.  Still picky but she eats food all day long.  And she definitely would prefer junk over something healthy.  She loves m&ms and chocolate chips.  Plus cookies, pudding, candy, and anything sweet.  We haven't put pantry doors on yet and I've found her numerous times climbing the shelves to the top, where she knows the "good" things are.  She was an owl for Halloween and got a kick out of trick or treating.  She was fascinated by her candy and lined up in a row for days

The pics here are of them not crying.  Mainly so that when they are screaming their little hearts out, I can look back and remind myself that sometimes their eyes are dry. They are growing!  Micah isn't as chubby as some of the pics look.  She seems like one little fat 12 pounder.  I think it's because she doesn't have much of a neck yet.  She's weaker than Kota, even though she caught up in size pretty fast.  She still sees a therapist for h
