Rae Rae’s famous paper making club is back!  She set it all up while I tried to put Toobie down for a nap so we can make our paper dolls together. She likes to instruct us on how to make her famous paper dolls and mine comes out awful every time. She offered me private tutoring before the next club meet. She also set up some chips and Sabsy’s famous homemade lemonade (both which had toobs extra stoked).

Obviously Toobs decided naps were overrated so she joined in for the fun and apparently found a love for Dorito type chips- yay. She had some for breakfast today…just working on some healthy habits around here (eye roll).

Happy 15 month bday sosi!! You are growing up so fast and changing so much! This has been an eventful month for you and you are doing so many new things. Mommy and daddy are so proud of you and love you soooo much! Here are some updates on the Iggs:

1. You know how to play hide-n-seek and you love this game.
2. You are obsessed with eating plums. You eat one almost every morning.
3. You are talking up a storm in your very own language. You like to walk around the house holding the phone chatting away. You will have full on conversations in your own babble and it is so amazing to watch.
4. You love looking at yourself in the mirror and talking to yourself. If we put a new hat on you, or new clothes, etc. you have to walk right over to the mirror and check yourself out. Such a little diva!
5. You are so good in the car now and love watching the Ipad while going on adventures. You love elmo, Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland.
6. You have an opinion now and are not afraid to show it- lol. You want what you want when you want it and that is that! Yes, ma’am!
7. You learned how to blow into a recorder and play music.
8. You got a new toy car and you love riding around in it or pushing it.
9. You are a big fan of the supermarket and like roaming around pulling everything off the shelves and blabbing the whole time.
10. You’re still a great eater. You really will eat anything. Now you only want to feed yourself so things have gotten very messy but that’s ok. You like walking around eating icepops on your own.
11. You have brand new molar on the bottom and another on the way. You also have a new bottom front tooth!
12. You love playing in the shower and holding the shower head splashing water.
13. You love bouncy balls!
14. Your Nana and Aunt Krissy came to visit this past month and you had a blast. You went to the Zoo and the botanical gardens both several times!
15. You say Mama, Da-Da, maybe the word happy, maybe the word duck.
16. You know where you belly button is! We ask, you point- so smart!
17. You like going into the cabinets and moving everything around and hiding things from us. You are such a prankster.
18. You love dancing and have to dance whenever music is on. You have a few dance moves and have most recently added in a headbanger move. Mega impressive.
19. When you wake up in the morning you walk over to Betsy’s bed and lay right on her belly. You know you’re funny when you do this and you always look up at us to see us smile.
20. You have a new obsession with hiding under the covers. You crawl all the way into the middle of the bed and just hide under the covers. My little wackadoo!!
We love you so very much!!! You are absolutely, positively, without a doubt, the most incredible baby on the entire planet. You rock!!!

Oh my pretty, pretty princess…you are getting too big! I am going to be sad when I can no longer count your age in months. I think it is acceptable until 24 months so I will continue to do so as long as I can. I never understood why moms didn’t just say 1 year old, I now get it. I remember when I would count it in days and weeks, ugh slow down!!

You are doing so many new things each day it is just insane. You are walking everywhere and getting faster and faster. You play hide-n-seek. You say DA-DA none stop and seem to have forgotten how to say Ma-Ma, i forgive you for now. You are a little social butterfly and love to hold other kids hands, but you also never stray to far and need to know that mommy and daddy are close. If you continue to do this for the rest of your life it is just fine with us- lol. You eat everything. You love to dance and listen to music. You love Sesame street and Elmo. You give hugs to a dolly we call Saki and you smile big whenever you grab Saki. You still nap with us in the bed and fall asleep with us in the bed. I move you to the crib at night and you’ve been going about 5 hours straight and then back to the bed it is. We love it, and if you want to do it forever, again, fine with us!! When you wake up in the morning you have the biggest smile and immediately want to give us a hug, hop off the bed, and say good morning to Betsy. After all your good mornings it is go go go time! You are very busy, lots of plans and things to do. You give the puppies a treat each morning and love watching Charles follow you around when you have food in your hand. You are a prankster and keep us laughing all the time.

You have 7 teeth total and some on the way. We go to the park almost everyday and you now like the car and going on adventures. You just sit in your seat chatting away and usually eating something of course. You have a new love for ice pops, ice cream, and mexican food. You will eat guacamole until it is all in your hair, on your clothes, on your highchair, covering your face, etc. It is messy, but it is fun!

You will never be able to even imagine the amount of joy you bring us. We are just so proud of you and will always be your biggest fans. Every night before bed we go over things you did to make us laugh, smile and be proud during the day, and every night we are never at a loss for words. You are absolutely amazing and make the world a better place. Here are some pics of you enjoying your birthday snickers with daddy, walking down the hall chomping on it, and drooling chocolate. We love you sooooo much Sosi, Iggs, So-So, Nugg, Sauce-tin (this is an oldie but never got play on here. It is a combo of sophie and austin pronounced Sauce-Tin)! xoxo

Wohoo!! Little Iggs is 11 months old- omg! She is changing so much and growing so fast! Here are some 11 month updates for our little igghead…

1. You now eat just about anything and everything. You love baked potato fries, broccoli soup, tofu, brocc and cauliflower asian style, cheerios, red velvet cake and choc covered fruit (thanks to daddy), matza with cheese and cream cheese, string beans, hmmm…you seriously eat everything. You rock!!!

2. You have recently made up a new game that is hilarious! You pretend to pick something up and hand it to mommy or daddy. Once you hand us the invisible treat, we let you know how much we love our invisible present and you quickly hand us another one- lol. I’ll play this game until you get bored of it. Cracks me up.

3. The weather is finally warm and you absolutely loooove going out to the park. You stare at all the trees and have to touch the leaves and trunk. Lately you love going for walks in the baby bjorn and you have been going out to the park about 3 times a day! Lucky girl!!

4.  Today you met the water hose on the roof and OMGGG you loved it! We have a video and pics so i will post those after this. You are def a water baby.

5. You now officially have 6 teefies! You have 4 on top and 2 on bottom.

6. You and mommy got allergies this month. We had runny noses and watery eyes for about a week. You had a rough time sleeping (as did mommy) but we kicked them by Mother’s day and now we’re good to go!

7. You are opening all the drawers, getting into everything you’re not supposed to, cruising on all the furniture, climbing up mommy’s legs all day and are absolutely obsessed with the puppies water/food bowls…obsessed.

8. When i carry you down the hall you have to touch every single thing on the wall as we walk down it. Very busy.

9. If you get scared you scurry into mommy or daddy’s lap and lay you head down on us. When you get shy you bury your head into our armpit and then peak out with one eye.

10. You and mommy have a girls clubhouse (mommy’s closet). We go inside and hide in the clothes- no boys allowed.

11. You love when daddy kisses your belly and you will hang out on his shoulders all day. It is one of your favorite places.

12. You’re sleeping better now. You still take 2 naps a day and at night you wake up about 1 or 2 times…not too bad. We moved your crib into our bedroom so you sleep in the crib but every now and then (ok every night) you sneak into our bed when mommy gets lazy and doesn’t put you back in the cribby. You’re a bit of a bed hog but we let it slide cuz ur cute.

Well cuddlebutt- that’s about all the updates i can think of right now. I’ll put the other ones as posts since im sure i’ll think of more. My brain is a bit mush b/c you and i have been playing since 6:30 this morning. Mommy and Daddy love you so much. Happy 11 month birthday Sosi! You are our world. We are so proud of you. XOXO

Well your 10 month sticker had a bit of an adventure. You pulled it right off, shook it in the air, crumpled it, fed it to betsy, ate it yourself, and eventually left it out to dry on the deck. I’ll try a new plan of attack for 11 months…this one was not so successful.
