Anna claire weighed 43 lbs 10 oz today--dressed and right after lunch. 42.5 inches tall.

Juliana weighed 28 lbs even and I didn't catch her height. :-(

Long story made short--last week mom saw Anna Claire's eyes cross several times, she felt it was involuntary. Andy then saw her do it on purpose Saturday night being silly. Then sunday she did it repeatedly for me on command, thinking it was hilarious. Not sure if it's a problem or not, so I took her to pediatrician on Monday and he saw some muscle weakness in her left eye and referred us to ophthalmologist. We have appt Thursday morning. I have really struggled with worrying over it--I am praying that God will strengthen me to overcome my fears related to my family's health and wellness. I know I am not in control but it is so difficult to trust. The Christian walk is such a constantly growing process. I love my babies so very much (and Andy too) but I have to know that God loves them most and knows what is truly best for all of us.

Juliana is talking up a STORM these days! There is nothing she can't say or won't repeat! She's hilarious! Today I dressed her in a little flouncy ruffle skirt and play top with some hand me down sandals and she was so excited--it's the first time she's shown real interest and excitement over what she's wearing. She ran out of her room and went to her daddy and said, "look daddy--I pitty!!" (I'm pretty!) so cute! And indeed she is pretty! She's slimming way up and losing all her baby fat. Here's a picture of her in her outfit--




Thankfully eliza is still my fat baby, although she too is growing up! She gets attention everywhere we go with her sweet smile and winning personality! Today we went running errands and people talked to her everywhere! And she will just grin and be coy--too cute! And oh, how she loves men! It's amazing how she will pass a room full of women cooing at her to run to a man---she woos them!

Junia told Jessica Christensen yesterday at church--Jessica said she was pretty. Junia said, I pitty, mommy pitty, sissy pitty, Baby Liza pitty!

Junia told nursery worker last night: "daddy love me, mommy love me, nani love me, sissy love me, pawpaw love me." Guess baby Liza doesn't love her! ;-)

St. Patrick's Day playdate with Matthew and Jace. It's great to have a best bud.

Daddy daughter date to see cinderella--sweet times! She wasn't ready for a live action movie it turns out, but she loves the one on one time regardless!


And this morning we found that crazy girl in the shower----wearing her daddy's underwear!! Hahaha!! (When he showers with her he always wears shorts or boxers or something now that she's bigger.) she is so silly!!


Juliana is really learning to talk well--what a joy she is! She's really starting to be sweet to her Daddy again which is a relief after her being kind of mean to him most of the time for several weeks! I remember Anna Claire going through the same Mommy-only stage but it doesn't make it any easier on him. :-(

Juliana talks like crazy and says such funny things! She absolutely knows how to get her point across! Today Andy threw Anna Claire in the pool after she begged and begged and begged to swim in that cold water, and junia says "no throw me in the pool, daddy!! No no no!"

She loves to poot and then say, "I posted !" Or "I poot on Mommy's bed!" Just silliness and then will grin all over herself!

I think she has a naturally cleaner disposition than Anna Claire--she is neater when she eats by FAR even still, and she always wants her hands to be clean after she's played outside or something. She takes a towel and cleans up spills without me even asking!

Eliza is changing from a little baby to an older baby/young toddler right before our eyes--her smile absolutely lights up the room! She is definitely more sensitive than the others were at this age, and gets rather put out if she doesn't get her way! The big girls love her to death though and always want to make her smile! As long as she leaves Juliana's tinkerbell blanket alone, life is good! Haha!! Junia doesn't want anyone to even THINK about touching her blanket!

Juliana today and Anna Claire on Easter Sunday 2013 (2 years old).

Took Anna Claire on a Mommy/Daughter date to go see Southeast Alabama Dance Company's Frozen production today.  What a good time it was for both of us!  She was so sweet watching it - and she LOVED the snow they produced at intermission!

I have a penchant for matching anything - and these matching PJ's are too cute!  (Andy driving them around on the electric wheelchair is one of their favorite things to do on late night trips to the church!)

Oh and Juliana informed me that she is "junia belle" NOT "junia bug"!

Went to go see Bro. Ricky's goats today - took a loaf of bread to feed to them.  They just had babies very recently and the girls were excited to see them!  Juliana was NOT a fan of them licking her though - hence the foot....

What a great playdate we had tonight with the Kent's!  Just dinner and playtime at McDonalds, but they gave us free ice cream - a real treat, because we've never really offered it to the girls before.  (So messy....) It was adorable to see them so excited over it!
