A Cinderella kind of D@y

I am seeing the days get just a little easier each day, and the bond between the girls starting to grow. It's going to take time but I'm happy to see the beginning steps. Dress up is one of their favorite games to play together we have found, so today they both got to be Cinderella and put the movie in while they played. So cute. Of course then Julia wanted to dance, the video is the result of that, lots of giggles.

I have just a few minutes, as Daddy has taken the girls outside to play and I have to get back to putting laundry away while they are preoccupied but I wanted to try to get down a few highlights from the week before I forget them. Devyn is getting much better at giving kisses, and even initiates on occasion, hugs we still have a ways to go, she does not care for being held close at all, but does like to come over and climb up in my lap to watch TV or take a break and watch sissy play for awhile. Usually that means I end up with both girls in my lap for a bit, but I find I can stand that.

Julia has been telling me the last couple of days "Mama, I'm so happy with you." and "I love you" which is always very sweet to hear. Last night it was "Mama, I'm so happy with you and Daddy and Devyn" and "I love you and Daddy and Devyn" It was nice to hear her include Devyn in that. Of course, she still wants to boss Devyn around, pull and tug on her to get her to go where she thinks she belongs in any given moment and often tries to block Devyn from getting to me or Daddy, but she does have her extra sweet moments too. :)

We did weigh the girls while we were in Ohio, these are unofficial of course, but Devyn weighed 28lbs and Julia 34lbs. That's my skinny mini for you. At least now she is a size 4 and I can find things that run in slims for her, plus have the adjustable waist too. At least the slims don't look so baggy after being cinched up for her. lol. I've actually had to buy some 5's for her, in dresses again of course, just depending on how they run. And size 10 sandals. So hard to believe she is getting so big! I've got a meeting to attend at the end of the month to start the process of enrolling her in PreK next year. Time really has flown since we first brought her home.


I finally found something Devyn doesn't like to eat today. She did not care for watermelon AT ALL. Spit it back out, can you believe it?? I thought I'd never find anything she wouldn't eat. We have such a problem keeping up with her and making sure she's not putting things in her mouth. She will try to eat anything, sea shells, rocks, sand yep, she's going to be so much fun at the beach. Everything goes right to her mouth first. Most foods she loves and I have to make sure to get Julia's left overs off the table before I let Devyn out of the high chair or down to roam, she will go straight for the plate if I don't have it out of sight first! She definitely keeps us hopping.

Well I best get back to that laundry while I still have the chance!

I'm not sure why, but I can't get the video to load tonight, I'll try to post it from Dropshots.
