Brooklyn Marie...

Brooklyn is 3 and will turn 4 on November 7, 2011. She is such a big helper with her little sister. She is always looking out for her and helping her. She has attended both mini cheer and mini dance camp this summer and has loved them both. She is starting to recognize letters, she said to me the other day "Mom, look at the B on the mountain!" Referring to the BR on the mountain. Her favorite colors are pink and purple. She is a good little eater but she mostly likes veggies and fruit, not meat. Her favorite food is probably boiled eggs right now. She and Tessa started a new daycare last week and she got a special badge for being polite and nice. She is learning so much. She sings along to most of the songs on the radio and like nursery rhymes as well. Her favortie game to play is anything on her Nintendo DSI.

Tessa James...

Tessa just turned one on August 11th, 2011. She is becoming very active now that she has started walking (the week before her first birthday). She has 6 teeth and like to eat anything she can get her little hands on. Brooklyn always yells for me to do a "cheek sweep" after Tessa has been stuffing things in her cheeks. She likes to play with her sister and is often caught laughing with her. She also likes playing with her cousin Elliot but she isn't also nice to him (she likes to pull his hair, bite him, and climb on top of him). Whenever she hears music she starts moving to the beat and smiling. She likes to clap and is learning to wave goodbye. She occasionally says mama and dada, but mostly just babbles in her own language. She has recently started throwing fits, the kind where she lays on the floor arching her back. She has barely any hair, but we still manage to get a pony tail in the few hairs that are there. The hair that is coming in on the back of her head is extremely curly.

It's Gonna be a good life...

"Oh, this has gotta be the good life

This has gotta be the good life

This could really be a good life, good life

I say, "Oh, this feeling that you can't fight"

Like this city is on fire tonight

This could really be a good life, a good, good life"
