3 Years, 6 Months, 1 Proud Mommy! (Photo Heavy!)

I can not believe that my little girls are so big! Jillian is now 6 months old and Layla turned 3 on Friday! We had such a great day! I can not get over her. We woke up and played around and then we went to the library and I let her get movies and books. Then we stopped at McDonald's to get lunch and went to the park and eat it and play with friends that came to join us. After the park we headed to the Ice Cream Shop and had ice cream. After coming home for a nap, Daddy came home and we gave Layla her birthday presents from us. We got her a play kitchen that she has been wanting SO badly! We got her some play food too. She had a hard time being patient while daddy put all the gazillion pieces together, but it was so worth it when she got to play with it. So fun! She has been making us "food" for 3 days. Then we ordered pizza for dinner from Papa John's because that is what she wanted. Then on Saturday we got up and after going to the gym, we headed to Grandma Mary and Grandpa Mike's house for her party. We had lunch and PLAYED so much with Aunt Becca and Uncle Jeff. Later Pappy George and Grandma Irene came over and we ordered pizza and had cake and ice cream. Layla also got some more presents. She got a lot of clothes and some toys. Aunt Becca and Uncle Jeff also got her an easile (Sp?) which she loves. Both girls were SO tired by the time we got home. They slept so hard. Sunday was a day of rest that was for sure! Today, I took the girls for their doctor appointments. Layla had her 3 year check up. No shots, but the doc checked her all out. She is 38 inches (3 feet 2 inches) and 32 pounds. The doc said that she looked great. We are still potty training. The past 2 days though she has been willing to go in public and has even told us she had to go. We are so proud of her. Right now she is wearing anywhere from a 3T to a 4T and a size 8 shoe. She loves Tom and Jerry and Scooby Doo. Mac & Cheese is one of her favorite meals and she LOVES peaches. She is very into "helping" mommy and dadddy with things. It is very cute. Here are some pics from her birthday "weekend". I hope she had a great birthday. (Thanks to Aunt Tiff for taking a lot of these pics!! We love you!)








Jillian is growing so much too. At the doctor today she weighed 16 pounds 11.4 ounces and is 26 1/4 inches long! Both girls are above the 50th percentile for weight and almost 75th for height! She is sitting up completely on her own. She is crawling and has also started pulling up!! Can you believe it? The doctor called her "really advanced" which cracks me up since that is our family joke about ALL the kids, but the doc confirmed it! :) At 6 months old, she is wearing 6-9 month clothes and NO shoes. She refuses. It is difficult enough to have socks on the kid. O well, hopefully by the time it gets cold she will be willing. :) She is so cute. Here are some pics of her. Also, there are some family pics.














And My New Favorite Picture!!
