Happy Birthday Lauren!

Our friend Lauren turned 2 this past Friday and we celebrated by eating at Fenton's ice-creamery (featured in the movie "Up") on Saturday.

Earlier Hannah had been battling congestion, coughs and sneezes we thought it was a cold, but it is a bad case of allergies. Seems to come on in the morning and at night worse. We don't know what is making her have these reactions as we have tried vacuuming, washing the bedsheets, avoiding dairy products, etc. I will continue to monitor and we may need to take her to the doctor as she sometimes has a hard time sleeping at night.

The girls are on high speed picking up words and forming mini sentences. I am also amazed that they still remember their sign language words as we (Der and I) have been slacking with them. They both love singing, however only Sophie sang "Happy Birthday" to Lauren. They both can name Dora and the characters on the show, they know the Wonder Pets "team work", and can sing Yo Gabba Gabba's theme song. Their favorite movie is hands down "Finding Nemo" yes, still! They cry out to us Nemo! Nemo! They also like Dori, Nemo's friend and love when I say "Just keep swimming". Their second favorite movie is "Monster's Inc."

Sophie's favorite line is "I did it!" She also likes to scold Hannah and tell her to go to the naughty spot. Hannah's favorite line is "ocha ocha" she says this to watch the youtube video of the Japanese children song Ocha or her other favorite youtube is Calliou and she always calls out for it. She doesn't talk as much as Sophie, but uses her words well as when she is hungry she says "mommy eat" and signs it or when she's thirsty she says "mommy drink" and signs that too! The other day I took Hannah with me to walk Emi and we saw a dog running around. She called out "woah woah where are you!", "I see you!". Woah woah is what she calls dogs (Lauren called dogs that and she copies her).

Lauren buried in balloons!

Hannah had some bites of my ice-cream, but due to congestion from allergies she was not able to get much more.

Sophie back to her roots of eating ribbons as a baby hahahah!

Thanks for inviting us, we had fun!
