Crazy Times

The girls are both growing so fast and doing so much it is really hard to keep up. They are both crawling at lightening speed now and they are in to everything. Gabriella has discovered Odell's dog bowl this past week so if you turn your head for a second she will be going to town in his water bowl. Isabella has become quite the wild child. She is usually pretty loud and loves to knock her sister over, crawl on her, tackle her and steal whatever she is playing with. They both have two teeth on the bottom that are all the way through and do not appear to be getting anymore quite yet. Also both girls have decided they do not want to sleep all night anymore which is running me very ragged. They are up and down all night long and they seem to want to eat at night. Which I have decided is a bad habit to get in so I am going to do whatever I have to to get them back to sleep without nursing because at this point they should not need a night feeding. Both girls love the pool and would stay outside all day long if you would let them. They seem to be getting little personalities now. Gabriella seems like she is going to be the "mommy" of the two. She is very gentle with her sister and is always checking to make sure she is o.k. Isabella is the exact opposite and seems to always want to be the "wild child"! They really notice each other now too and look for the other one if they are not together. They also like to be touching each other as much as possible. Both girls seem to be getting a little separation anxiety when I leave them now. However they stayed with Erin and Olivia (two beautiful grown girls I use to babysit...man I am old) for a couple of hours last week and loved it!!! I will have to get some new pictures up soon. Their hair seems to be growing pretty quickly now and Isabella is losing her mohawk. We are very excited as a family because on Sunday evening we will be leaving to go on our first real family vacation to Florida...so wish us luck and say a little prayer for our ride there and back!
