Jessica

Jessica FINALLY got her cast off!! YAY :)   She is doing awesome. I was worried that she would have a hard time walking for a while but she only stumbled for a minute and then she's been going strong ever since.
She also said her first official word today- "APPLE" its so cute :)

 Thought I'd add some cute photos I downloaded from my phone. Nothing like a friend to help you out when you can't get around :) and she LOVES her binki's I hope we have an easier time getting rid of the binki then we had getting Katie to stop sucking her fingers :)

At 20.5 month:  Jessie has had no desire to talk! She does say a few words like "Momma", "Nana", "ah-oh", "Dada" she also does some animal sounds.  I love hearing her try to communicate, lots of babbles and squeals. so cute! But "Apple" is the first official word that she can say! YAY- hopefully lots of words follow :)

Leader of Being a Role Model

I am so proud of Katie!  She was nominated by her teacher for this months Character Counts Award for her class.  She got an award and her picture with the principal Mrs Bona.  

Way to go Katie!!! 

Her teacher had this to say:  "Katie is a great example of being a Leader. She is always respectful, kind, and helpful. She is always thoughtful of others feelings and she is a great example for her classmates. She is very imaginative and is a great story teller! Her classmates say she is always fun to be around"

Egg Drop

The girls school does an annual egg drop. Its a lot of fun! They have the kids put the raw eggs in any contraption that they think will save the egg when it is thrown from the roof of the school. They get a treat if it survives and a treat if it doesn't. So its fun for everyone :)

 Both girls' egg survived. And they came up with the ideas on their own this year. Way to go! Katie even made a homemade paratute out of paper and it worked great. 

My sweet baby girl

We invited the cousins over on Friday to decorate Easter cookies and the kids were all playing in the backyard (on the trampoline).  Suddenly Jessie is screaming and Brielle brought her to me. She would not stand up or put any weight on her leg. So we spent 4 hours in the ER getting x-rays.  Today I took her to my pediatricians office and they confirmed a fractured Tibia (usually a result of a trampoline accident) and they put a cast on her leg which she will have for 4 weeks- FUN!!!  She still won't walk on it but the Dr. says it shouldnt take her long to figure it out and she'll be back to her normal crazy self!

This picture cracks me up! She is always kicking back watching TV- :) silly girl
