What's New?
Part-time Daycare
Olivia and Sophia are going to Nanny's two/three days a week which means they are home most of the time. Last week Daycare was closed and we took in Emma , one of the girls friends for two days. Olivia loved it! She really likes having friends over. She likes to have someone dress up with her and Emma is sweet enough to listen and do what Olivia says so everyone has a good time.
Gracie Mae
Gracie is nine months old now and weighs 18lbs. She is being measured on the regular charts now and is at 45 and 50% with her weight and height compared to other children her age. She is 75% with her head so needless to say it is quite large. She is trying to sit up but falls over quite easily and often, Olivia is very entertained by this. Gracie is 7 months adjusted age and is doing almost all things that a seven month old baby would do.
Sophia Plum
Sophia is a sweetheart, she is sooo happy and loves to dance as you can see from the video. She is now saying Hi and bye, ball, shoes, nose, ear, teeth, dog - she loves Ram, although I have caught her trying to ride him lately which is not good but Ram puts up with it mostly because Sophia is the one that feeds him all day. He follows her everywhere. She is the biggest climber and daredevil I have ever seen. When I check on her at nap time, I sometimes find her sitting on top of her dresser (scary) but she cracks up when I tell her to get down. We have to keep an eye on her.
Sisterly Love
Olivia is still thrilled with Gracie, it is hard to keep her away from her. Sophia is starting to look at Gracie and I caught her saying tickle, tickle to her the other day. As for Olivia and Sophia, they are really starting to play together. They chase each other with their dolly strollers and although Olivia still hurts Sophia, Sophia is starting to fight back. Greg calls it the laverne and shirley fighting. They just scream and slap at each other. It makes me laugh although I know it is only going to get more interesting.
A while back, Greg showed you our time out chair. This is the chair that Olivia spends the majority of her time in. Sophia always goes over and watches Olivia while she is in the chair and has started climbing into the chair after Olivia leaves it. She will sit in the chair and scream (imitating her sister). It is a riot! We bought a new bath tub that blows up for Gracie because she is not quite ready to sit up in the bath seat by herself but is way too big for the infant tubs. Look at who thought her tub was a boat. It was a fight just to get everyone out of it so we could put Gracie in it.
The House, the car, our life
We believe we have sold the Volvo, we decided that we would get a new car once we get back east because we truly need to fit all of the children in both cars.
The house is going on the market the week after superbowl so we shall see.
The "stager" came the other day to tell us what we need to do to make our house marketable. All I can say, is my notes for each room ='remove everything'. Ugh, I don't know how we are going to live but all toys and most signs of children and clutter need to be packed up. If you have been here, you know what this means.
We are taking a trip to Colorado to see Nick and Philip, Olivia is very excited. I am going to take the girls there and Greg is going back East. It will be fun to just spend some time. We will most likely see snow and Olivia and Sophia will be able to fight over the fire engine bed.
In Summary - I will be grey and Greg does not have the head of hair he used too but we are surviving.
