Best Park Day

Father's Day 2010

Syniah and Leilah, one day when you read this, I hope you know how wonderful a daddy you have! You have no idea how much he loves you both and how much our lives have changed since you both have come into our world. To celebrate your Dada's special day, we went to the lake and you both were such good girls! You both love Mama very much but light up when you see your Dada. Losing my Dad at a young age I have always longed for a Father/Daughter relationship but watching you girls love your Dada and watching him love you has helped me know and understand that relationship and love. Never take it for granted because it's such a special thing. You two are some lucky little Ladies :)

Love,

Mama

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Today we went to Silverwood Lake to celebrate Father's Day. The weather was great. Things turned out so nice. We grilled hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken. There were a bunch of snacks and sweets to eat. Such a fun day. It is so nice to be surrounded by loving Dads who genuinely love being fathers. I am especially thankful for the Father that Ervin  has become. He loves his girls unconditionally. I watch him with the girls and couldn't be more thankful for having him be the Dada of these baby girls. 

The way we started out our day.......(it was windy) What a good Dada :)

The kiddies had fun in the sand

Ummmmmmmmmm........wasn't the best grill :) but it did the job! Thanks Fatima. Next time I think we will need a better grill. Then maybe it won't take hours to grill a few burgers :)

Dada and his girls on his 3rd Father's day! They are so lucky to have a Dada like him.

The guys taking their kiddies for a ride around the lake while the ladies cook :)

Mama and happy baby Leilah

We had a great day! Now time to give Dada his presents we bought him

The girls took pictures in Dada's ties and shirts and gave him a Willow Tree.

We love you Dada!

Today was a good day

Leilah-bug and Niah had a great day today. Niah snuggled all morning and took a good nap. She played outside a lot today. Some much needed sensory playdough time! Leilah started her morning with cereal and bananas. She ate her entire bowl. She was a smiley giggly girl. Three long naps.....Tummy time..... and time in Big Sister Sister's room. I got a glimpse of my girls two years from now, playing together. Niah is so in love with Leilah is really melts my heart. I was so worried about how she would react to a baby in the house but now I couldnt see Niah live a day without Leilah by her side. She is always worried when she hears Leilah cry "Mama Yea-yah cry mama" and she always so loving and motherly towards her "Hi mamas, what you doing mamas" is something she says to her often. There are times when Niah doesnt like to share with Leilah and now that Leilah is grabbin everything Niah isn't so happy when Leilah grabs her things. "No Yea-Yah mine!" So it really is a sister relationship they have already. I love watching it though. Tonight we went to the Corbett house to watch the Laker Finals. Syniah and Dada went first and Leilah and I met them there a little bit later and the minute we walked through the door Niah is worried if Leilah is sleeping. She is such so motherly. As I drove home tonight with my baby girls in the car I fell more in love with them. Just thinking of what beautiful girls they are and their personality and who they will become makes me love them and Thank God for giving me such precious girls. Today was definitely a good day......

Not a good day

My Niah-girl was not a happy camper today. NO nap! We attempted nap time many different times throughout the day and she would end up screaming for over a half hour. Little did we know she didn't feel well. She ended up having 102 fever. To cheer her up I made a late yogurt run. I really hope she feels better and sleeps well tonight. I can't take another whinny day like this and I feel bad for her. So for the sake of both Niah and I.....Please let her get rest, feel better and wake up on the right side of the crib in the morning :-)

LOVING CARROTS

Today Leilah tried carrots for the first time. She loved it! She usually whines a little when we are feeding her but she was really happy. She kept opening her mouth because she wanted more. Just like her sister she is a fan of carrots :-) Today she slept most of the day. She even got woken up from a nap because she slept too long. She had a good day.

Little Monster

Today Niah was a handful. She was testing me all day. She wad saying No......randomly hitting me.....and even attempted to bite me on my head, but at the same time was so needy of my attention. Climbing on my leg and whinning for me. I think today she was just trying to get my attention but acting out in order to get it. I will be honest.... while trying to be firm I laughed a few times cause she can be so funny and cute while being bad! I have to remember not to do that because she feeds off that. I love my crazy little girl! Niah and Leilah definitely challenged me today.....Just a day in the life of being a Mama of a terrible 2. Love my little Monster!

Not much of a sleeper....

Today Leilah was not much of a sleeper. She was such a cat-napper. A little frustrating but there was a moment where she was taking one of her many naps and I just stared at her, she is so beautiful. She really is a challenge. She is more needy than I was prepared for but that's why I love her that much more. She needs me. She choose me to be her Mama. Looking at her beauty reminded me of how much more patience I need to have with my Leilah-bug. She is my baby and she definitely doesn't let me forget that. I love her so much. She is my sleeping beauty: )

It is Summertime

Niah wore her bikini and was such a brave girl in the water today. It was so nice to get her out and enjoy the sun. Cousin Brayleen came over also and went swimmimg so it was extra special.

Leilah's first dip in the pool today. She was so calm and relaxed. I even got a few smiles out of her. She didn't cry like I expected her to. She just enjoyed the water and looked at her crazy big sister splashing around. She is such an easy going baby. She loves to be held, fed and changed but if that is done she is pretty calm and quiet. Today was a good day. Did I mention after the pool Leilah took a 3 hour nap! Such a good baby girl :-)
