While You Were Away

This post is dedicated to our favorite Dad!

Oaklie 

She is such a sweet little girl and is getting funner by the day! She is so patient when Amaya tries to play little mommy and loves her big sis! Oaklie has just started laughing and giggling.  She has a big jelly belly laugh! It's so cute.  She can roll from her belly to her back which comes in handy since she hates tummy time. And she is one heck of a sleeper.  8:00 pm-8:00 am. I really can't claim any credit here, I think Oaklie was born pre-programmed, she is such a sweetie!

Amaya

She is such a funny little girl! She learns something new everyday and loves to copy her mom and take care of Oaklie.  She is starting to say a lot of new words.  Some of her favorites are "Oh-ee" (Oaklie), "Peas" (Please, she knows she can get almost anything with that word!) "Oh, wow!" "Nose" (she then sticks her fat little finger up my nose!) and "DA!" She loves talking to Dallas on Skype and being a dork. They make silly faces and say hi! Yesterday she was freaking out when I was trying to IM him without her "helping". She thought I was being SO mean! All she wanted to do was talk to her dad! I pulled out a video of Dallas reading a story and she watched it 5 times in a row, totally content. She is such a sweetheart and definately entertaining.

 I gave in and bought my girls some matching outfits. I think they look so cute in them, but I couldn't get a decent picture of them together!  The bottom left one is with family, the baby in the middle is their second cousin, who happened to also be wearing black and pink!

These two girls sure love each other a lot. Oaklie saves her biggest smiles and loudest laughs for Amaya. Amaya loves to take a break from terrorizing the house to come over and give Oaklie hugs and kisses, These were taken this morning while I was getting the girls ready. As you can see, Oaklie was done and I was about to start on Amaya. I can't wait until these two are big enough to play together--I think they'll be best buddies!

Below is a video overload. I can't email Dallas videos because they are too big for email format, so I included them on the blog. 

1. Amaya cooking

2. Amaya's latest and greatest love is Sesame Street! Don't tell, but she is getting a DVD for Christmas!

3. Amaya doing Zumba (if you're only going to watch one, this is the one to see)

4. Some more sisterly love. Oaklie is so patient!

5. Giggly Girls (my favorite of the bunch!)
