Our lil' sleepy monkey...

Our precious Preston LOVES to sleep. We're not complaining at all, we just can't get over it. Sophia fought sleep when she was his age so it's a nice change for us:) Every night around 7:30 Presto says "baba" and walks over to the gate in anticipation of going upstairs for nigh night. He sleeps from 7:30-7:30 religiously with a 2-2.5 hour nap everyday. On the weekends he likes to add in a morning cat nap of about 45 minutes. Last weekend BT put him down for a nap without pants on~just a diapie and when we woke him up we found that he'd taken his diaper off!!!He didn't move a muscle as we snaped this photo:

Last week Leyla was taking Sophia to the bathroom, when they opened the door they found Presto asleep on the kitchen floor. Once again he didn't move a muscle when she was snapping these photos. He's our little sleepy monkey. He's soooooo active that he just poops himself out. He'll repeat anything you ask him to and for "Sophia" he says "Di-A" very enthusiastically. We love you so much PJ!



And just a few more of our growing monkey just because:

Brunch with a Princess at Lollipop Dream

BT and I decided to spend a few hours with our princess doing something special while Nana watched Preston:) BT found the perfect activity at Lollipop Dream where Sophia was able to pick out her own princess outfit, eat cupcakes, meet Snow White, and get her face painted. What more does a girl need? We loved watching her face as Snow White read a book. One thing we thought was funny was that Sophia thought the other kids were putting on a show for her when Snow White asked them all to stand up and dance. Sophia opted to sit on the sidelines and clap and watch the "show"(the other girls dance with the princess). Can't wait to go back! Here are some highlights:

Sophia and Preston's playhouse etc

Their playhouse was a Christmas present from Grandma and Grandpa Tees and its a huge hit! We can see the kids playing in it for many years to come. Sophia loves pretending to be a barrista asking what kind of coffee you'd like and Preston loves sweeping the inside with his little broom. Preston LOVES being outside and after he downs his morning bottle he'll grab my finger and lead me to the door. No matter how cold, rainy, or windy it is, he wants to be outside! Grandma Tees made them a sign to make their playhouse complete! What a perfect gift for the kiddies:) I've got the kids to myself in the morning for a few hours so often I can be found in my pj's in the backyard with Preston and I like snapping funny pictures of the kids documenting how I keep them busy:) Here's a few from our mornings...


Preston will climb in or on or up anything! He's definitely our curious George!

Sophia is convinced her birthday is "soon" so she danced around the house one morning in this birthday hat and undies. She doesn't quite get the concept of time past tomorrow:)

Instead of playing with the music table, Presto climbed underneath and giggled at himself as he did it over and over...

Family fun time:)

We had a very overdue birthday celebration for Uncle Frank on Saturday. We had Auntie Sarah, Uncle Frank and the kiddies over for pizza and play time. It was a beautiful day so the kids played in the backyard and rode bikes around the neighborhood. Sophia and Emily got along famously(well as famously as 2 toddlers can) but they did really well and were so excited to see each other! In the evening, they played upstairs in Sophia's room alone and came down with a back pack full of goodies to do a "talent show" for us. This talent show consisted of dumping all the contents of the backpack all over the living room and dancing around the mess. We couldn't resist taking pictures of our little men in diapers. They seemed very proud to be down to their "tighty whities":)







"Hey Everett, does this diapie make my tummy look big?"

"What about now?"



The aftermath of the "talent show"

Sophia loves precious Everett:)

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa Tees.

We had a very special visit from Grandma and Grandpa Tees this week. They decided to come up(cut Leyla loose) and spend the day with the kids and even made us a delicious dinner when we got home from work which was VERY nice! Grandma even made homemade flan and I had Preston taste it and he gobbled it up:) Grandma made cookies with Sophia during the day. She had Sophia roll out the dough, cut out the shapes and shake the sprinkles all over. Sophia of course dressed up in her princess outfit and was very proud to show it off! The kids love spending time with their granparents. We hope they come back soon!

They "play" together!

Well, sorta. Sometimes Sophia sits on Preston as a way of showing her love and sometimes she gives him big hugs and kisses, just depends on her mood:) We have noticed that they do play together more and more. Preston loves to push Sophia around in his Buzz Lightyear car and vice versa. They also love playing in the backyard together. Just when we think that Sophia's had enough of Preston taking the attention away from her she'll say "Where's Preston, I miss him" when he's napping(not sure if we believe it ha!)but it's nice to see them really interacting.
