Happy Friday!

It feels good to get back to a regular post after a couple weeks of craziness.  Also, it feels like forever since I have done updates on the girls.

Callie is so smart and funny.  The stuff that she says is kind of mind boggling at times.  My mom told me that today Callie wanted to change the names she had come up with years ago for the two birds that are often outside my parents' condo (Poopy and Doopy).  She told my mom that the old names were "too inappropriate" and decided to change them to Dot and Flappy. 

Huh?

So funny.  She is also calming down and settling in to her skin a little more.  She did great on her birthday with a big group paying attention to her.  She wasn't as nervous or self conscious about people looking at her (last year she had to open her presents under the kitchen table, this year she had no problem doing it in front of the group), and she wasn't super sensitive about people laughing.  She is sweet and caring and really thinks about things.  I'm always amazed by her questions and her creativity.

Favorite Thing #1: This girl.

Maya is also so smart and funny.  She is in the phase now where she is just a sponge...soaking up so much knowledge.  I LOVE IT.  She is learning new words every day and is so proud of herself when she uses the words.  She loves looking at books and just babbles away while shaking her body excitedly.  For example:

Favorite Thing #2: This girl reading books and using words.

She also is getting more and more into accessorizing.  Especially with hats.  We have a lot of hats laying around (since it is winter, and all) and anytime she finds a hat, she puts it on.  She has a hat on A LOT.

Favorite Thing #3: This girl.
And her love for hats.

She also is just SO in love with Kona, as you can see from this video.

Favorite Thing #4: These two.

It is ridiculous how cute they are together.  Kona is such a good and tolerant big sister.

As for the rest of the pictures...

Favorite Thing #5: Back home with the girls on Sunday

Favorite Thing #6: A "cold" day off and new matching outfits

Favorite Thing #7: After a lesson on acrostic poems, Callie came up with
this one for her sister.  I did the writing, but the words were all her, including
my new favorite word- YATASTIC.

Favorite Thing #8: Days with Boom and Pa

Favorite Thing #9: Can't get enough of the snuggles

Have a great weekend!
