can't get enough

I seriously can't get enough of these girls. They probably get so sick of me hugging and kissing them and telling them how much I love them! I could really just squeeze 'em and kiss 'em all day!

They had their well appointments this week and I was smart enough to schedule them at the same time so that was nice. Sara's was for her two year check up and Della had her nine month. They are getting too big too fast and I just want time to slow down a little! Here are the stats!

Sara
Weight: 23 lbs 7%

Height: 35.3 inches 80%

Head: 19 inches 75%

I promise I'm not starving my child. I felt bad when I found out her weight percentile but the doc said he thinks she looks great and he's not worried a bit. Told me to just keep doing what I'm doing. I guess she's tall for her age so it actually makes her look skinnier than she really is.

Here are a few fun facts about Sara. More for me- so I can remember this age.

- She still loves movies and TV shows and still loves scary things. She always wants to watch monster house or movies or shows that have spiders and snakes.

- She's really into pirates for some reason. It's pretty funny, she likes to pull her headband over her eye and call herself a pirate!

- There have been a few times where she'll be bugging Della and making Della fuss, so I say "Sara, don't bug her, or stop bugging Della" and she picked up on it like that! So now- every time Ryan is teasing her or something she'll come tattle to me. "Mom! Dad's buggin me!"

- When it's time for Della to go to bed Sara likes to say "night night Della! Seat deems! (sweet dreams)" I actually don't know where she got that 'cause I've never said it before. Probably from one of her shows.

- Every time she leaves to go somewhere with Ryan she says the following: "Bye mom! Love you! Have fun! See you soon!" It's pretty cute.

-There are definitely times when Sara isn't the most well behaved child, and when she's not, she gets in trouble and then sent to her room. She loves telling dad all about it when he gets home.

-Every time we sing patty cake to Della and end with "and throw it in the oven for Della and Mommy!" we always hear a little voice say "and Saywa (Sara)" I guess she doesn't want to be left out!

- She still doesn't have all her teeth, but I think the last few are popping through this week!

Sara really is such a joy to have in our house. She's always cracking us up. She is also such a good big sister to Della, you can just tell she loves her so much. She's going to be so good to all of her younger siblings. We love her so much!

Della

Weight: 20 lbs 80%
Height: 28.2 inches 75%
Head: 18 inches 90%

My doctor was a little concerned when he saw how big Della's head was. Until I explained that her dad also has a big head, that made him feel alot better. Let's just hope it slows down a little.

- Della is crawling and cruising everywhere! She learned at about 8 months which is sooner than Sara did. She has a lot of determination.
- She loves playing pat a cake and is always clapping her hands.
- She's always giving kisses. Especially to her big sister.
- She's now starting to pull her self up on things.
- She loves to dance. Every time a song with a good beat comes on she starts bouncing up and down with a big smile on her face.
- She loves her blankies. She likes to suck on the silky corner.

- She loves baby dolls. It's so cute 'cause Sara liked them once she turned a year but never really got into them, where Della just loves them! She gets so excited every time she sees one and is always kissing it. It really is so cute!

- Her favorite show is Yo Gabba Gabba. It is probably the sickest show I've ever seen, but hey- whatever makes her happy right?

- Della's first word was num num. (nummy num AKA food) At first I just thought it was a coincidence that she was saying it while I was getting them lunch. Then she did it a few more times when she'd see food. I can't believe she said that before Mama or Dada! It fits her perfect though with that chubby body of hers!

We love little Della so much! She loves her big sister and is more a Mommy's girl than Dad's. Nothing is better than walking into her room and seeing her standing up in her crib with the biggest smile on her face. Or seeing her crawl around a corner to be in the same room with us. It really is the best. Her little smile just melts our hearts.

Then I just HAD to post this adorable picture of these two cute bums!

Please look at the rolls on Della's legs! Really... can't get enough!
