Milana

My pretty girl...

Play date with Jackson Morris

I have a secret

Marbella is doing the cutest thing. She will come up to me, tells me she has a secret to tell me, lifts my hair, and whispers in my ear that she loves me. So now we all play the "secret" game!

Marbella

You'd think we lived in Alaska. Wait until it really gets cold. Ha!

I couldn't help myself... So cute!

Halloween Day 2008

Marbella was so cute!!! We thought she would not like trick or treating at all since she is scared of so many things... vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, dogs... and she doesn't really love strangers either. Boy, were we wrong!! She LOVED it and threw a fit when we had to go home. She was so polite and said please and thank you at every stop. She warmed our hearts and made us proud!! Since she doesn't like chocolate, Mommy has scored!!!

Neighborhood Fall Festival - October 26, 2008

Celebrating in the hood... she loves being a princess/fairy/ballerina/angel!!

Random Pictures

These are random pictures from my little camera. Most of them were taken in September when the cousins were here during Hurricane Ike. We celebrated Marbella's birthday a week early at Chuck E Cheese.

October 2008

Here are a bunch of random photos from October...

Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch 2008

We went to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch for our annual trip. This year we went for Jackson Morris' birthday party so we didn't dress up. Marbella had a great time with her friends, Jackson and Avery... friends she has known since she was 3 months old (in day care). Even though she isn't in day care anynmore, we still keep in touch!! She had so much fun... and it was so much fun watching her. Enjoy!

Bath Time

Unlike Marbella, Milana LOVES her baths. The routine consists of bath time for both girls and once Marbella gets out of the tub and brushes her teeth she runs to Milana's room, shuts the door on Daddy, and jumps into the chair giggling like a school girl waiting for Daddy to come in. She is so precious!! And Milana is always in good mood after her bath... maybe her love for the bath will rub off on Marbella one day. I suppose it helps that she doesn't have any hair to wash... the part that makes Marbella not like her bath!!! Hey, sometimes it hurts to be beautiful... ha!

Milana's 1st Meal

Our baby girl is getting so big. As we expected, she wasn't sure about her first meal. However, she is now getting the hang of things and is eating more than I thought she would! She looks so grown up in her high chair...

A new hiding place

Marbella loves her new Dora book with the flashlight. She has found a new place to read her books... Under the bathroom sink... And she wants the door closed. As I put my make up on I here a little voice "mommy, I need the Mimi book." So cute!

Marbella's 2nd Birthday

It is finally here... pictures of Marbella's birthday!! We opened presents before going to church and then we celebrated her party with Dora!!! We hope you enjoy the photos... and now that I know how to update the blog we should have more frequent postings. I have a million more pictures to update... tomorrow!

It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a Blog Post!!!!

Yes, a post has been sighted. We are doing great. The girls are fantastic. With the addition of Milana something had to fall to the side, and the blog is the lonely victim. There are so many things to share, but I don't even know where to start. Marbella turned 2 and is as adorable as ever. Milana is 4 months old and full of smiles. She has even added rolling over from back to tummy to her repertoire.

We have taken plenty of pictures but in the mean time our friend Susie Juergens took photos of the girls (Marbella at 2 years and Milana at 3 months).

Once at her site click the link for M&M Green.

Marbella REALLY wants to feed Milana

I was sitting on my bed nursing Milana while Marbella was playing all over upstairs.  She walked into our bedroom and went straight for the breast pump that sits right next to the bed.  She didn’t know that I was watching her.  As she started to open the case with one hand, she was lifting her shirt with the other and then proceeded to put the pump up to her stomach.  When she noticed that I was watching her (trying not to make noise while I was cracking up) she looked like she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar.  I asked her what she was doing and she said she was going to pump some milk for Milana and then got embarrassed and ran.  It was SO cute!!!

 

I wish I could have captured this story on video but I wasn’t quick enough.  I typically nurse Milana while on the chaise in our living room and I always use the Boppy.  Well, while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner, I had Milana laying in her Boppy on the chaise.  I saw Marbella get on the chaise so I watched her to make sure she wasn’t going to accidentally hurt Milana.  She sat down right where I always sit and raised up her shirt as if she was about to try to nurse Milana.  When I asked what she was doing, she got the shy smile again and giggled.  My big girl just wants to help!!! 

Our kiddos

Here are some more random pictures of the girls. They are so precious. I can't believe how different they look from each other... I wonder if this will change as they get older...

M & M

Mommy Green here - finally learning how to post on the blog. Here are some random pictures that I have taken over the past couple weeks. Can you believe how big Milana has gotten!!! She had her 2 month check up yesterday... she weighs 11 lbs 3 oz (one full pound more than Marbella at the same age). She is in the 75th percentile in height and 50-75th percentile in weight. My little pumpkin is growing so fast... it seems like she is growing so much faster than Marbella!!! She has such a beautiful smile that lights up her entire face. And big sister Marbella LOVES her baby sister "Yamma".

More Marbella and Milana Memories for Monday...

I wonder if I could have come up with a few more 'M' words for the title of this posting. I've got to be brief, so here are three new albums of random pictures over the past two weeks.
