27 Months!

The girls turned 27 months yesterday and I honestly didn't remember until today. Andy was back in Wisconsin visiting his Aunt who is ill, so I had the kiddos solo this weekend. Although I will say I had a lot of help from Auntie Em and Mr. Justin, it's not even 10 pm on Sunday night and I am EXHAUSTED. They gave me a run for my money today and I am spent! Thank goodness the girls sleep good, because it certainly gives time for the mind and soul to refresh. Now if only Declan would go to sleep. Like now.

Here's what the girls are up too...


Aven:

  • Nicknames: Avie, Ave
  • Favorite thing to do: Hoarding all the toys
  • Favorite food: My lasagna, any type of breakfast food (i.e. waffles, hash browns) and yogurt
  • Favorite toy: Stuffed animals and currently her favorite are the Yo Gabba Gabba stuffed toys I get them (she hoards all 5 of them)
  • Favorite TV show: Yo Gabba Gabba (obsessed) and the Fresh Beat Band (she likes TV the most)
  • What she doesn't like: She doesn't like when people tell her no and her diaper changed
  • Morning or Night: Night - she's usually the last one to go to bed and her and Stevie often mess around for a good 30-60 minutes while in their cribs. She's always been the most restless of the girls and not much has changed.
  • Things she likes to say: She's been saying more and more each week. She says hi, bye, more, and eyes (and points to the rest of her body parts). I think she says some other things too, but I just can't think tonight.
  • Funniest thing she does: I find nothing she does funny anymore. Just kidding... She is the one that enjoys babies, stuffed animals, and little girl things the most. She likes washing her babies, putting them to bed and pushing them around in her stroller. She's just our little Type A momma bear... 
  • Therapies: Aven is still getting DI (development intervention) once a week.
Bria:
  • Nicknames: Bri-Bri, B-B, Bri
  • Favorite thing to do: Everything - she is just happy to do everything (most of the time)
  • Favorite food: My lasagna, watermelon and yogurt
  • Favorite toy: Blocks (the big lego blocks) - she loves building things
  • Favorite TV show: Yo Gabba Gabba and the Fresh Beat Band (she likes TV the least)
  • What she doesn't like: Her diaper changed
  • Morning or Night: Neither - she continues to be our best sleeper. First to bed and last to wake up. 
  • Things she likes to say: Mama, Dada, Declan (new), Papa, more, done, up, bye, hi, thank you ("tay ooh") (new), no (new), nose (new), mouth (new), eye (new) - she says these when she points to them :-) and several other things that make sense to her and her sisters but we don't understand. 
  • Funniest thing she does: When he gives you random hugs - maybe not funny, but oh so sweet...
  • Therapies: She's still getting DI with Aven once a week.
Stevie:
  • Nicknames: Sweet Pea (that's what Andy calls her a lot)
  • Favorite thing to do: Dancing
  • Favorite food: My lasagna, bananas and yogurt
  • Favorite toy: Magnadoodle and the Yo Gabba Gabba stuffed animals (which has caused a lot of issues the last few days).
  • Favorite TV show: Yo Gabba Gabba
  • What she doesn't like: Getting her diaper changed
  • Morning or Night: Both, but is happy in the morning (mostly) - she will trade off with Aven on who wakes up first. 
  • Things she likes to say: Hi and eyes (new) but talks the most (you just can't understand what she's saying)
  • Funniest thing she does: She gets this cute little sweet smirk when she's shy. 
  • Therapies: Stevie gets PT twice a month and Speech Therapy twice a month.
Here are some pictures from the weekend... Aven giving her gabba babies a bath with a wipe... 


Aven and Bria building together... This didn't last long...


The only picture I could get with all the girls... Thanks to my sister for being my assistant :-)


Mr. Justin and the girls having their after nap snack :)


Stevie stretching out looking at her phone...


This was the end of our night tonight... Declan was covered in a Danimal, which I told him to not soil 1.3 seconds before this happened... I had a beer after this incident.


These pictures aren't in order, but Saturday morning Justin and I ran a 5K - his first race ever and the first of a few more to come! It was freezing!


Stevie being quite and reading to herself...


Aven hiding her gabba babies...


Stevie with that cute little look that I referenced above...


Aven an Bria building together again... Again this didn't last long.
