Mommys corner

Wednesday, May 17, 2010: We had a midwife appt today. Lena used the doppler all by herself and found Sophie's heartbeat (140) right away! She was so proud and has been telling me she wants to be a wife (she means midwife)!

Monday, May 15, 2010: Me: "Lena, you are very quiet..." Lena: "Don't worry, Mommy. I am NOT under the table doing nothing, chewing gum I got from your purse!"  ...Yeah right!

Thursday, May 5, 2010: Last night, Lena woke up crying for me [Dan]. When I went in to check up on her, she was holding her limp little arm and crying "Daddy, it won't get up, it won't get up." Poor dear, first time her arm fell asleep!

Wednesday, April 13, 2010: Lena and daddy were up in the attic today fixing the bathroom fan. They were singing, "I've got a song in my tummy...." from Laurie Berkner together. It was adorable. Lena kept checking to make sure he was ok and then kept tabs on mommy and Avi downstairs.
Avi realized that she could shake the shape sorter (cookie jar) vigorously to get it to sing, instead of putting the shapes in the correct hole.

Tuesday, April 12, 2010: The girls and I went to the Science Musuem today. When Lena saw the Bison exhibit, in a most high-pitched squeal, she shrieked, "Mommy, it's the Buffalo Sabres!!!!!!!!"

Monday, April, 4, 2011: Lena just couldn't wait to hear her new baby's "heart beep" today.
Avila signed "more" and "all done" and then started clapping for herself. She also clapped enthusiastically when she saw daddy in the middle of the day!

Wednesday, March 23, 2011: After laying in her bed for 1 1/2 hrs, and not sleeping a wink (I know because she's been talking to Emma the entire time), Lena just came out to me saying, "Oh mommy, I'm so sorry I woke up from my great nap early but I have to pee and I just love you and Avila in the whole world so much that I have to give you kisses. Oh mommy, I'm so sorry

Monday, March 21, 2011: Lena: "Mommy, why is the sunshine always sleeping in Buffalo?"
and... as she was ending her prayers for the night,
"God bless America and God bless all those people in Japan"!


Monday, February 7, 2011: Lena: "Oh mommy, thank you for today being my dance class day! It'll be such a great treat for after naptime!" and "Here mom, I got you that "bubbly water" to make your tummy better cuz that silly baby's making you sick". She sooo cute, I just love her!


Wednesday, February 2, 2011: Baby Blue took 7 steps today!!!


Monday, February, 1, 2011: It was all quiet in the house and I got nervous. Where was my Baby Blue? She was just here a minute ago! I asked Ruby Red where she could be and she said, "She's in the bathroom getting into trouble, mom". I go in to find her tangled in the toilet paper that was on the roll, shredding it and singing to herself. When I caught sight of her, she started clapping.


Sunday, January 31, 2011: We showed Ruby Red a picture in a medical book of the new baby at week 5. Her response what so cute, "What a cute little mushroom". As I kept flipping through the pages she kept asking to go back to the page with her baby mushroom. It was so funny that I teared up from laughing!
