The last week was interesting to say the least. Last tuesday night Mia started barfing at about 9:30pm. Everytime I got her cleaned and her sheets changed and her back to bed, she did it again. Finally I just make a bed of blankets and pillows all topped with towels. Grapped a puke bowl and we camped out. The poor thing was barfing every couple of minutes even when there was nothing left. It was terrible. At about 2am Lily started. Good times.
I stayed home with them on Wednesday. Thursday morning as I was getting ready for work, Pete started hurling and Annie and I took the girls to the DR for their scheduled shots. They got them. Mia screamed bloody murder. Lily did not even flinch. Then we took them home and I headed to work. (Annie watches them on thursdays and Pete was quarantined to the bedroom). I left work about 4:30 because I was starting to feel a little woozy and by the time I got home i was about to die. Sure enough shortly thereafter, I started to barf. Good times. The girls were completely better by Friday morning. Pete by Saturday morning. I was still recouperating yesterday but did return to work.
Just thought I'd share that fun little tidbit with you all.
Anyways, last night we decided to treat us all and get McDonalds for dinner. We never do that, and we think it's from being sick that Pete and I were both craving it and he brought it up and I jumped on it! Mia ate 3 whole chicken nuggets and an entire small fry. We were amazed. Lily ate 1/4 of a cheeseburger, a couple fries, then asked for an orange. Evil little child.
They continue to amaze us with their speech, understanding and recognition. They speak in full sentences all the time. The other day, pete put on his Jets hat. Lily walked up to him and pointed to it and said "Jets Hat Daddy". We never told her the green hat with a J on it was a jets had. 2 of Lily's favorite things to say are "No Mia NO" and "There it is!!" Mia's are "NO" and "Help me Mommy, help me".
It is so fun to watch as they get older and are more interactive with each other. I'm happy to say that they get along great for the most part. There are always a couple fights a day which consist of one trying to grab something from the other. Both getting a death grip and screaming "MINE MINE MINE MINE" over and over until we intervene. They really do love each other. They share so well and are always concerned that the other is getting theirs too. Whether it's juice, vitamin, treat, whatever. If one gets it, whoever is first is asking where the others is.
We are gearing up for Halloween now. I'm making a final decision on costumes today; just a hint... ROAR!. The girls love skeletons and ghosts and love to read their halloween books. "EEK A BOO" is their absolute favorite (mine too).
Here are some pictures from the day we cut bangs for the first time..
