April Update

How big am I now:

Height: 42 inches and growing out of all my pants ;)
Weight: 30 (I went to the doctors and they also had her get on the scale...what this tells me is that our scale is not accurate or she is thinning out and losing some of her baby fat...all I know is that she feels a lot heavier when I lift her up.)

What is happening this month...

• Another year to reflect back. On April 1, 2010 we received the most important phone call...after five years of dreaming and waiting, we were finally matched with our beautiful baby girl. A few days later the following pictures came via FedEx and it was love at first sight.  It still amazes me how time passes by so quickly.

                        

What's new...

• Lately you like to recall different events when you were younger.  You always say, "remember when I was a baby..." and you love watching old videos.  I will admit so do I :)
• School is going well and you are doing better at paying attention and not talking during learning.
• I think you are a bit spoiled...really I do.  Here is an example, you told me, "mommy I am done with my juice", I said okay, what do you want?, you said "for you to come get it"...really! I had you put your cup in the sink.
• You are so much like your daddy its a bit scary.  You have his impatience, stubbornness, and will argue every point. On the flip side, you are funny and polite just like him too.

Someone loves getting her nails painted!

 

Went to the DMV and applied for an ID card.  We thought she should have one on file, finger print and picture.  Also looks like two people will be traveling with mommy to Hawaii on my business trip and did not want to carry her passport around.  She was so excited and I cannot wait to her ID comes in the mail. 

She asked...what kind of mom would I be if I denied her the opportunity.  She REALLY wanted to do the dishes.

 Chilling in the car having a snack before speech therapy class at Expressions.

We are going to start teaching Tanith how to read using the same book I learned on.  Grandma saved all of these books and I am so excited to be able to share them with Tanith as she begins to learn how to read.

 

 

More updates to come soon!

March Update

Look at me  now:

Height  42 inches
Weight 39 pounds

March is here and finally we received some much needed rain. Tanith was so excited to be able to use her umbrella and jump in a puddle or two.

This month brings us the fun task of applying for Kindergarten. We may keep her at Santa Clara or get her into one of the district schools.  Let the fun begin.

What's New:

• You continue to keep us laughing and your sense of humor only continues to grow. I will have to say that you make me laugh daily.
• Your new thing is wanting to drive.  You told me that you REALLY want to drive and have been watching me and asking a lot of questions. Slow down baby girl...you have a long time before that happens.
• You love that your hair is getting longer and even told me your never cutting your hair again. Well, we will see about that.
• You want me to sign you up again for "bynastics" aka gymnastics...so will do that soon, but swimming will be first.
• You insist that we reenact the movie Frozen and you now know all the words to a lot of the songs and sing them all day long with or without music.
• I do get the mommy of the year award again. You asked me "your Jewish mom" to take you to church so you can pray to Jesus...so I did.
• You experienced your first big earthquake. Mommy was flying home from a business trip, but you were with daddy, grandpa/ma. I guess it freaked you at a bit, but daddy was there to make sure you were okay.  On the way home your main concern was were the dogs and you ran into the house giving them all hugs and asking them if they were okay :)  so sweet.
• This month you started your first session of speech therapy and it went well...all you need is a little practice with articulation.

 

On our way to Costco and of course lunch!
