Well the head cold has hit our household. We all have it, the girls are the worst. They are so uncomfortable it breaks our hearts! Safina keeps saying "I am so so so sick Mommy... so so so sick!" She has moments where her energy kicks in and she is feeling better, but then she will slow down again. I am hoping we are almost done.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome 2012, what do you have instore for us? We had a great 2011, mostly thanks to little Emery joining our family! Hope to have a fabulous year watching my girls grow and learn, and loving them up every second!

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE! We started the day with some cleansing baths! The girls just love bath time, especially Emery! This year we went to our friends Amanda and Eric's for a kid friendly party! Lots of good company, yummy food, and delicious drinks! We had a great time, even though we left early and were in bed by 10:30pm!

Emery is getting so big! She is holding her head up so well, is so observant and wants to see what is going on all the time. She loves to smile and gives us little laughs! Mommy took advantage of a lazy afternoon and took some pictures of Emery, then Safina wanted in on the action, so we got a few of her too!

Busy few days! We got to visit with Grandma who came over to play for a morning! Then our buddies William and Madelyn stopped by for an afternoon, and the kids put on Hello Kitty Tattoo's and William kept calling it a tutu! It was so cute! On a different morning, Mommy's friends from High School, Jamie and Sharyn, came over to visit and catch up! It was so nice. Jamie's husband and daughter tagged along, and Safina had fun playing with Avery! Oh and Mommy dyed her hair one afternoon!

A morning with Gigi! (this was a few days ago, but I had to tell it). The other day Gigi picked up Safina and she was wearing her pink boots and her new purple coat. When they got in the car they had this conversation:
S: "Gigi, do you like my pink boots?"
G: "Yes, they are very pretty!"
S: "Gigi, do you like my purple coat?"
G: "Yes, purple is a great color"
S: "Mommy made me get the purple coat, I wanted the pink one." (arms crossed)
G: "She did?! Well, purple is a great color, and the pink stripe matches your boots so nicely."
S: "sure. I want to grow bigger so I can get a new coat, a pink one!"
G: "You do!"
S: "Yup"
10-15 minutes go by and they are in Gigi's garage.
G: "Careful Safina, it's dirty over there."
S: "Well if I get my coat dirty then I can get a new pink one!"

OH BOY! Who knew she was thinking all these things. FYI I did not MAKE her get the purple coat, I just said we have so much pink, why don't we try purple.

At least we found this awesome purple monster hat to go with the coat!

Safina is loving all her new toys and is playing so nicely with them. She especially loves her new china tea set Gigi gave her and her tiger cub, Lucy and her horse, sweet pea, and her new baby doll (yet to be named). She spends equal time with all her gifts and goes from one to the next. She also loves her squinkies zoo, and is so cute setting it all up! Safina used her Hello Kitty Tattoo's today! This was her first experience with tattoos and she loved them! Mommy even got one too!

Another thing she has been doing is mimicking mommy. She "breath"-feeds all her babies/animals. And even fills the bottles that way (like pumping)! She also puts the burp cloths on her shoulder and walks around like Mommy, it is a riot! She is such a sweet girl!
