Cannot believe how incredibly fast life goes by with children in our lives. Yesterday I finally got around to unloading all the videos from our flip cam from this year. Fina was just a tiny little thing only a short time ago, lying in her swing just quietly watching everybody. Now she is crawling all over everything, up stairs, under tables. She eats everything in sight. She has had a few poops with sequins and happy face stickers! Early this year Gretchen still had hardly any hair. She was talking a lot at the beginning of the year, but now her vocabulary is crazy. The other day she told me she was gradually going to go down the stairs and that she wanted to find the camoflaged salamander.
Halloween was only a few days ago and both girls went as pink batman. G loves batman from playing with some toys of Eric's. We were looking at costumes online one day and saw the pink batman costume, which of course her cheap mama would never buy, so we made one instead. I made the shirt and cape and Eric made an awesome very very tiny belt for her. Fina wore a very similar costume and had a blast trick or treating at Living History Farms with our friend Allison and through Nana's neighborhood with Ben and Vivi and Luke(who was Batman)
Gretchen walks on air when I pick her up from preschool. She's getting a little better at telling us what goes on there. We just finished swimming class for both of the girls. Gretchen actually lets the teacher hold her now:) and she can start to kick and move her arms at the same time. Fina does not care one bit if her head goes under water and she absolutely loves to splash. We were 'excused' from class one day after G puked in the water. This has happened twice to us. The entire class gets cancelled. Most of the other parents say they don't mind..blah blah, but I've never seen it happen to anyone else. The girls didn't mind though, except for the time that we got the whole family dressed and realized that class didn't start until the next week. It's becoming apparent that mama can't be trusted to know the exact day that events take place.
