And now for little Vivi. Two years. I like to still think she is my baby. My mom claims to have deja vu when she holds her. She looks THAT much like me when I was her age. She is my mini me.

Vivi is independent – She knows what she wants. Some would call her stubborn, but I like to think she’s strong. She’s not intimidated by older children (ie, her sister) and will put her foot down. She is insistent on doing things herself, whether it be getting in her car seat, brushing her teeth, going up the stairs, or swimming in the pool.

She loves music – We sing together each night. Her favorite princess is Sleeping Beauty – She calls her “I know yooo” from the song in the movie. She will cover her mouth when she laughs or when she’s excited. I love when she says “Oh, no!” It’s amazing how she already loves dresses and looking pretty. Her crazy dance moves are too funny. She lights up when she sees any character from Toy Story and will say Wee-how (yee-haw) when she sees a horse. She insists on wearing those stretchy headbands around her head like a crown. When she runs, she swings just one arm. The funniest thing she does is show us her “muscles.”

She’s making her way in the world, so look out world!

Our little Georige is four. I have a hard time writing this; I have feelings, thoughts, emotions and I’m not sure how to put them into words. I know parents gush about love for their children. They are so much a part of us. I love my girls more than I ever thought possible. Why is it they grow so fast?

Georgie is so much like her Dada: Silly to the core, but sweet and nurturing. She has an innate understanding of feelings and emotions and is super intuitive. She loves life and is forever positive. She often tells me: “It’s okay, Mama.” Her favorite color is pink (she will only dive for the pink rings in swim class). She loves being the big sister and is a very good teacher. She knows that Jesus loves her…and Mama and Dada and Vivi and Ollie. Her memory amazes us. She will sees/hear things not mention them until days later. She wants to play soccer for the “soccer socks, t-shirt with my name on the back and the pretty shoes with the pokey things on the bottom. She likes going anywhere and is along for the adventure. It might be in her genes, but she’s very visual and really good at puzzles. She cannot go to bed without ‘big hugs’ and a song sung from the Disney princess collection. Not shy, she is always the first to volunteer.

We have so much fun together and I cherish each moment.
