First Dance Class

Today was Bianca's first dance class. We dressed her up like a little ballerina and off she went! Let's just say that it didn't go so well as Ellia decided that she did NOT want to sleep in her car seat in a room full of screaming two-year-old girls and Bianca decided that she did NOT want to peel herself off of my leg. Bianca did, however, enjoy the stamps on her hands that her teacher gave her at the end of class (imagine that, her favorite part of the class was the stamps at the end!). So we will try it again next week...

But, really, could she be any cuter???

Practicing being a ballerina up on her tippy-toes!

We finished off the morning with a green cupcake in honor of St. Patty's Day!

My happy baby!

Ellia and Dante

Ellia's arm must taste pretty good!

Our attempt to get a picture of all 4 kids together...not so successful but, Francesca and Bianca are having a blast anyway!

My Girls

Ok, I promise Ellia is a super smiley baby.... but, every time I break out the camera she is so obsessed with it that she won't smile. Guess I need to try to take more pictures of her when someone else is around so I can make her laugh and someone else can take the picture!

She sure is cute anyway!!!

Note Bianca's "cheese" smile that she is still into giving for the camera. I took this picture because no matter what outfit she is wearing, she ALWAYS wants the blue shoes (the ones that were clearly marked "Boys Blue Shoes" on the tag at Target). I try to tell her that they don't match but, she doesn't care. Of course, I let her wear them because who am I to stop her from being happy in her blue shoes!!

After I took the picture of her, she insisted that I take another of her and Carrera. So, here you go...

So Much to Do, So Little Time...

Time is just flying by these days so before another two weeks go by, here are some pictures to catch you up on the girls...

Some of these were taken on my iphone so not the best...This is her nightgown that she insists on wearing over her regular clothes. She doesn't like it b/c of the princesses, she likes it b/c of the HORSE on it!

She loves to put on lip gloss all by herself...

Ellia in her seat after spitting up on Mommy!


Ellia and Mimi

Ellia and Zarin-joon

Bianca and Francesca...could they be any cuter???

Rockin out in the playroom!

Best Friends

Bianca picked up this Leap Frog learning pad and told me it was "my suitcase for the airport".

This is the face she makes when I ask her to smile and say "cheese"!

Having a Blast

Mimi has been out visiting since last week and the girls (especially Bianca) are having a blast! Bianca has managed to cover herself in all of the animal tattoos that Mimi brought out for her. She also received her first "pedicure" with blue toe nail polish (of course!). Ellia is getting bigger and bigger and has even made it to her Bumbo seat.

Of course, we have elephants on her tummy...she only wants the elephants and the dolphins!

More Fun From Maya and Sophia's Party

Just Like Big Sister

Here are a few pictures of Ellia sucking her thumb at a young age just like Bianca although Bianca sucks her right thumb and Ellia appears to prefer her left for now. Does this mean she will be left-handed like her Mommy?

And a couple more of Bianca helping me make pumpkin bread...yum yum!

Love those dimples!
