Aquarium Fun and Sleepyheads / Week 47

This week was a more tame week, less pictures, but lots of fun!

Here's Clara in a little car outside of Toys r us! 

I went outside to put some toys away and Audrey followed me as far as she could... to the sliding glass door :D.

Sleepy sweetheart!

Clara earned lots of dolls this last week! She's turned the corner on potty training and is now doing great!

Fun hair styles! I need to practice more to get them tighter, but Clara loves having hair like a different princess every day!



Costco trip! Clara is eating the hot dog, and Audrey is eating the bun!


Mommy was keeping Audrey from opening the kitchen drawers, so she decided to put her toy on my hand instead!

Chubby cheeks!


And Audrey spreading Clara's snack on the floor, she found it, dumped it on the floor and (after this picture was taken) took her little hand and swiped the snacks all over the floor.... Mommy was helping Clara with the potty.

We went to the Aquarium! So fun! Clara wanted to see every single tank and wanted to know every fish. She hasn't ever wanted to do that before, before she wanted to run around! But we haven't been for a few months, so she's grown up in that time!






Family wake time! :) Sleepy mommy!

And sleepy babies, sleeping in the same position <3!


At school, Clara met some police officers!

Audrey napping with her butt in the air :D.


Happy Audrey is now crusing tentatively around furniture and army crawls quickly! She is adamant about her wants and makes her desires really known! But she can also be so pleasant and will play for long periods of time if whatever toy she has interests her!

Clara is enjoying school and starting pretend play with dolls! Yesterday, she took our "baby Audrey doll" (the doll we bought her to be her "Audrey" when Audrey was born) and held her hands and helped the doll to walk across the floor! She said, "Look, I'm helping baby Audrey walk, just like mommy!" She is putting dolls down for naps before her own naps, putting a blanket over them and patting them on the head and saying "have a good nap!" She loves to feed Audrey and mommy and wants to do everything herself. She is so fun and so articulate!

Vday Chinese New Year / Week 46

What a fun week! We started out with a Valentine's Day party with Clara's school bestie's playgroup!


They have so much fun together, running around trees, playing with chalk...


Picking flowers!




And decorating cookies!





At one point, Clara just starting eating the sprinkles... :D


Lots of girls! And a few boys!


Cute glasses, Clara :).


Then she wanted mommy to wear them.



More decorating!


Can't forget about sweet Audrey!


Clara put her new dinosaur on top of her new skateboard. So funny and so cute!


And some bubbles from her new Valentine's toys!


"Hi mama!"



"Can I have your phone?"


The other day, Clara decided that she needed to have my cereal... instead of her cereal.


So I gave her a kiss and said okay!




Chinese New Year dress up party!


I told Clara she could dress up like Mulan and she was so excited!


Some selfies!




Love her cheesy smile!




Audrey loves to chew on Clara's fingers when big sister lets her!





The sweet babies! Had to get a pic of them together!


And Clara always loves to find Audrey and hold her hands.


Clara is fascinated with other kids (and adults) pottying right now. She came over to Eli and said "Just push it out, Eli!" And he said, "I'm twying Cwawa!" :D


Audrey's baby friend, Isaiah! They are almost the same age and love to fight over toys.



All three together!












Sweet Audrey! I gave her an orange. She loves oranges.

I usually peel them for her, and she juices them, and spits out the rest of the pulp/skin.


So I wanted to see what she would do with the whole thing. Yup...


Clara earned enough stickers for a Belle doll (from potty training) and has been carrying her everywhere, even the grocery store! It's been adorable!


Audrey has been loving crawling / scooting on the tile!

Right after that video, she did this. She said no more! :P


Athena came and visited! We tried to take a few pictures :).


They were cute!


Playing with a playpen Auntie Eupheme is borrowing!



All three cute girls! And another cute girl coming from Auntie Eupheme soon!



Can't wait to see the next little one! Girl mom bestie <3!


Sweet happy Audrey!


All the cuddles <3.


Clara is really getting into dolls finally! Love it!


Audrey is cleaning for me :D.


Sweet girl needs a toy to take pictures :).
