Nellie is talking much more now and is easier to understand so things have been a little bit easier now that we can communicate more! I'm not sure where she picked it up but she has taken to calling me Mom Mom :)
Nellie is starting to really show her imagination and Mila is having so much fun with her playing all kinds of pretend games.
Preschool had their first annual daddy/daughter dance and Mila was SO excited to go. She had so much fun going to the store and picking out a new dress, getting ready and waiting for daddy to "pick her up." Robert was amazing as well, wearing a full suit to the dance and coming to the front door when it was time to go; he even brought all three of his girls flowers!
Mila had a BLAST at the dance although she spent most of her time dancing with her friends!
There is an old man that lives in our neighborhood, Tom Adams, who goes walking every day, twice a day. He is the sweetest old soul and always stops to talk with us. He turned 100 this month and there was a party at a neighbor's house that we were all invited to. I had such a good time taking the girls there and showing them what it's like to be part of a community.
Our friends, Lindsay and Jon, had their first baby, a little boy named Greyson. I went to the hospital to meet him the day he was born and HE WAS SO TINY. I am so excited for them and it's truly amazing how you forget how small they are and so many things about those first few weeks.
The next day Whitney arrived for a long visit! It was so great having her here; she hadn't seen the girls since I was on maternity leave with Nellie and they, especially Mila, were so excited to see her (probably not as much as me though!). Thankfully my parents were still in town during her visit so they helped out a ton with childcare so we could get out of the house and out on the town!
Mila quote of the month, as I am getting ready to go to Pilates..."Mom....why are you taking so long to go to salamis?"
Other notables this month: the girls finished their Spanish class and Robert had an awards luncheon acknowledging he has worked for Cypress for 10 years (!).
