Ella Rolls Over - Back to Tummy

Ella started rolling over from her back to her tummy on September 19th, one day after she turned 4 months old! She must have seen Emma doing it and wanted to prove that she could do it too! They are so cute together rolling all over the carpet.

Emma rolling over

Emma started rolling over from her back to her tummy on September 17, one day shy of 4 months old! I shot the video on the 18th, so this is Emma at exactly 4 months.

Emma loves Pat-A-Cake

Both Ella and Emma love it when we sing them nursery rhymes and play games with them. Lately Emma has been trying to distract me away from Ella and hogging all the attention. In this video I'm playing pat-a-cake with Emma and trying to do it with Ella too but Emma won't let me. At least she's hogging the attention by being cute and not crying! Emma - 3 months old!

Ella blows raspberries!

Ella is hilarious when she blows raspberries, she gets so into it and tries so hard. She cracks me up! Ella - 3 months old

Hannah's first day of preschool

Hannah had her first day of preschool today, she's in the 4-5 year old class this year at Lake Edge. She said she loved it and had a great day! She couldn't remember anything they did today but she did tell me "I dreamed of everything that I wish for...I wish to marry a prince, I wish to see a dinosaur, I wish to catch a pink fish and I wish to go to a concert!" I asked her a few follow up questions just to get a few more details about her wishes...the pink fish has red fins, she wants to see the Wiggles in concert and the prince has to be nice too! I'm just glad she had a happy day at school!
She's going three days a week this year, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9-12!

Sleep

Yay, the twins are officially sleeping through the night now!!! Emma has been sleeping through the night for 3 weeks now and Ella has done it two nights in a row! I'm so excited, I can hardly believe that we are past this huge milestone! Everyone says it's amazing that they are sleeping through the night so early but to me it felt like forever because Hannah started sleeping through the night at 5 weeks old and Olivia at 10 weeks old. Good sleeping habits are just in their genes, Darin and I both love and require a lot of sleep!
Here are the twins a few days after they were born! Here's Ella now! And here's Emma now!

Vegetable Battle - Olivia

For some reason Olivia decided she didn't like vegetables anymore a few months ago and just flat out refused to eat them. So we've had many battles over the past few weeks that nobody won...lots of kicking, screaming and going to bed hungry. I always serve the girls in courses, vegetables first and so on...so if she didn't eat her vegetables then nothing else was served. She's very stubborn so it took awhile but she finally learned that I'm more stubborn. Yay, I finally won the vegetable war with Olivia...she's now been happily (no screaming at least) eating her vegetables for over a week.
