In bed March 10 in the morning, as we were all gathered, Raffaele held me and Theresa and said, "I love you, Mommy. I love you, baby." I'm so happy with my beautiful, loving little boy.
He did it March 11, too, only I was left out. He held Theresa and repeated, "I' love you, baby."
He has also told his Daddy, "I love you, Daddy."
It warms my heart to see what a loving, beautiful boy he has become.
Theresa constructed her first two-word sentence March 10. As I walked with her through the kitchen, and we passed the bottles, she waved at them and said, "bye-bye, baba." What a cutie-pie.
Theresa walked five on February 28.
Theresa's THIRD tooth finally came in (a little one one top). Must have been weird having only two bottom teeth all that time on February 19.
For dinner tonight, Theresa shared some of my Indian meal. She had tofu and peas along with some bread and applesauce. What a good eater! February 16.
Theresa can climb over the ottoman which we use to limit her to the family room. She's so funny. All happy at herself on the other side February 11.
I think I want to participate in the commencement ceremony for my MBA. I have done this while working full time, through two pregnancies, and with two babies! And 95% of it I did when they were asleep. I feel the need to really celebrate this.
Theresa has begun to say her first word. She says "baba" for her bottle. She's so cute!!! Babababababa February 7.
If there's an item of food on his plate that Raffaele does not like, it "contaminates" the rest of his plate and he doesn't want to eat the other food. So we accommodate. I at least want him to EAT. A certain someone to whom I am strongly related was the same way and required different plates for all his different foods. January 29.
For the first time yesterday Raffaele announced that he was hungry and that he would like some food. I about fell out of my chair! However, he's very picky. He had some yogurt and banana and a few crackers. January 28.
I love how Theresa tries to clap. She keeps missing her hands. January 28.
We traded in the Subaru for another car. Feeling nostalgic. That was the car in which we brought home the babies. We waved good-bye to it. Me and Raffaele were waving, "good-bye, car." January 22.
Theresa won"t eat baby food anymore. Big people food now! January 22
I bathed Theresa in the big bath tub tonight! First time!! She really liked the extra space. Then she engaged in a lot of splashing. She's just so cute! January 21
Well, that's it for the infant tub. Theresa tries to climb out of it and walk around. Big bath tub now! January 20
Theresa was 9 months old yesterday! Key stats: 21 pounds, 3 ounces, 29 inches long. January 21
Raffaele went to his 2.5 year appointment today. (He was actually 2.5 in mid-November.) Key stats: 37 pounds, 38 inches tall. He's doing well. January 8
Instead of "slippery," Raffaele says, "slippy." This actually makes more sense to me. If you are to fall, it's because you slip, not because you slipper. January 1
Raffaele loves to play Tea Party with the set that Theresa received for Christmas. He pours the tea for him and me and loudly sips then offers cookies. Then he pours more tea and he pretends to spill his cup, and he says, "What
"Excuse me! Excuse me, cars!" This is what Raffaele says when we change lanes. So courteous! December 31
It was a good run. We've cloth diapered for nearly 9 months, but Theresa is just WAY to active and squirmy and big. December 30
Raffaele is so precious!!!! When I got home from work, he opened the door for me (which he always does), and then he ran and got and gave me the FLOWERS that he picked today, and he handed them to me all proud. He then proceeded to run circles around me. I love my beautiful toddler boy! December 21
We hosted dinner with Father Michael last night. It's so wonderful and what an honor to have dinner and celebrate together during this season of Advent. December 21
She must have been dreaming that I wasn't holding her. Theresa woke up crying in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Poor little one. I was right there, though, to hold her once again. December 21
It's so cute to watch Theresa laugh in her sleep. I wonder what wonderful dreams she is having. December 18
Raffaele has decided that he's the new family photographer. I can finally be in the pictures instead of the one behind the camera! AND his pictures are really good! December 16
Tokens. Raffaele. We've entered the token phase. "Games" as he extends his little hand. December 14
Every night we have a tree lighting ceremony at our house. It's Raffaele's little job to turn on the lights. Then we all stand there and applaud. He's so proud of himself. December 14
