serena lately.

{watching the snowstorm outside}

she calls herself "seenie". her version of serenie.

today she was found wiping her teddy bear's bum with a diaper wipe. i asked her what she was doing and she looked at the bear and said "a poop". as in the bear pooped.

she asks for a "toe-tee toe-tee" {cheesy tortilla} for lunch every day.

she sings herself to sleep every night. it's usually twinkle twinkle little star or i love to see the temple.

she gets soooo excited to see churches and buses when we're in the car.

she has the same conversation with me dozens of times a day:

serena: daddy?
me: he's at work.
serena: all gone.
me: yup, he's all gone.
serena: mugga? {grandma}
me: she's at her house.
serena: all gone.
me: yup, she's all gone.
over and over and over.

says "hol-doo" {hold you, meaning hold ME} in the sweetest little voice. we can never turn her down.

meet shannon.



she is my sister-in-law and the sweetest person i know.
{serena makes a 2 second appearance at the end. she loves her aunt shanny!}

soggy soggy girl.

anyone know the cure for a baby that spits up a lot all the time?

harper is constantly soggy with spit up. she goes through several outfits, bibs, blankets and burp cloths a day. i don't hold her as often as i would like to because she will inevitably spit up all over me. even 2 hours after she eats, she'll spit up.

help, pleeeeease.

{serena calls her "harpers" and i now i find myself doing it all the time.}

at three months, harper:
is a smiley little thing.
likes to suck on her fists.
doesn't like binkies.
hates tummy time.
hates bath time.
loves sitting in her rocker.
is still the most inconsistent sleeper ever.
{but at least she knows to go to sleep when she's in her bed... just wish she would sleep for longer periods between eating!!}
sleeps in her own room.
likes to watch her big sis.
spits up a lot. i've given in and started putting a bib on her all the time.
is patient with the lack of attention she gets thanks to her demanding sister.
snores.
grunts.
eats loudly.
is pretty much always making some kind of noise.
has beautiful long eyelashes.
always falls asleep in the car.
is getting chubbier.
makes us melt with her big gummy smile.
