A New Year with my Fun Girls

Obviously life has been a bit crazy around here for sometime. We moved in September, we lived at my father's house and now we're renovated our new home. I rarely have a moment to myself, but when I do, I honestly have no idea what to do with myself. So I generally watch a tv show on Hulu and wait for someone to wake up. Things are pilling up. I have not updated my girls journals in something like 6-7 months. So sad. Adelaide has accomplished so much! She has learned to walk, talk, eat everything within reach, she hates milk (loves almond milk), loves to play with her sister, solve puzzles, build, put things together, get held by mommy, etc. So much and I have forgotten when it all began. She is still absolutely wonderful, but she is quite a bit more interverted than Isabelle and continues to give everyone the "stink eye". Adelaide LOVES her mommy. As long as I'm in the room, I am who she wants. No one else without a fight. Walking is going great and i love the waddle faze. So cute! Adelaide can say "Mama", "Dah", "Ta-p-r"(copper - her very best friend), "hi", "nana", "pa-pa", "gn-pa"(grandpa), and "-MA"(grandma). She know her people. She loves her people, new people are scary.
Isabelle on the other hand still LOVES everyone female. She is having so much fun with Gymnastics and loves stradle, pike and flipping. She is always excited to get out of the house, but without fail still cannot finish her eggs in less than 30 minutes so we're generally 5 minutes late. oh well. Isabelle greatly enjoys narrating life and what is going on. She especailly loves to tell me what Adelaide wants and expects me to comply within seconds. Isabelle started Preschool Prep classes at Gymboree just this last week and LOVES that she gets to do art projects. She, of course, has zero problems with me not being there and LOVES getting to spend time with other kids. She paired up with a little girl just last week and the teacher was telling me how cute it was. Later I asked Isabelle about her new friend, Paris, and she said, "she's loud, I'm loud too" or something to that effect. Nice. And yes you are, way to find a common ability.
Life is beginning to get back into order, but we still have 4 rooms to paint and I really need to organize my desk space as well as my craft space. I need to get going on some baby projects for friends and family! Anyways, I am now going to try and get more updates going on a biweekly or monthly basis (have to start somewhere). Love to all!
Love, AKI&A
