Catch up Time

I know I haven't posted in a REALLY long time. I'll try to quickly catch you up on what's been going on with the girls. Hopefully from now on I'll do better at keeping this thing up to date, but no promises.

Gabby

I took Gabby a few weeks ago for her kindergarten registration. They did a little assessment and she got a cute little t-shirt. I can't believe she's already old enough to go to kindergarten. She's ready though, I just know she's going to love it.

Annie

Annie is potty trained! I've been wanting to do it since Lia was born, but I just could never get up the energy until about 2 months ago. I'm so glad I finally did it. It was so easy! She was definitely ready. I also signed her up for preschool next year. She is very excited. She sees Gabby getting to do all these fun things at preschool and asks all the time when she gets to go.

Lia

Lia is 7 months old! We just got her ears pierced last week and she looks so cute! She's getting so big and starting to do so many cute things. She rolls all over the place, sits up, waves and gives kisses. She's also starting to jabber quite a bit (mainly she says da-da, but we don't have to talk about that). She also has two teeth coming in on the bottom so she's been a little grumpy lately, but for the most party she's a really easy going baby.

Gabby's Quote of the Day

"Wake up Lia! You're not nocturnal!"

She's Here!

She's finally here. Lia Mae Arnold was born Thurs. Aug. 12 at 5:36 p.m. She was 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 19 inches long. As you can see from the picture she has lots of dark hair, which has turned out to be a trend with my girls. I actually went into labor on my own this time, which was a first for me. Although it was exciting, it was also a little stressful. She was two weeks early, which meant she decided to be born right when Darren's parents were out of town. Luckily I was able to call on a friend to watch my girls for me and everything went smoothly (thanks again Chris!). So far everythings going well. Gabby and Annie just love their little sister. More pictures to come later!

Catch up time

It's been a long time since a posted anything, and a lot has been going on so I'm going to try to play catch up. Only 4 weeks to go until my due date, and all I have to say is 4 weeks is too long! I didn't think that being pregnant through the heat of the summer would bother me because I'm the person thats usually freezing when its 80 degrees out, but it has been sooo hot. Darren thinks I'm crazy. You know the movie Father of the Bride 2? Where they have the air conditioner turned way down and everyone else is running around the house in winter coats? I wish that was my house.
