Happy birthday Karina!

My little Karinita is now one years old. She has been a wonderful little girl and a great addition to our family. She makes us all very happy. The girls love her so much. Karina is growing up so quickly and she makes us smile everyday. She is still not walking, however, she gets acround very quickly by crawling. She has started to get into everything. She has begun opening all our drawers and cabinets. She takes out all of our DVDs, tupperwear and basically whatever she can find. She hasnt really said any words yet but she talks a lot. She nods no with her head. She has sort of said, mamma and pappa and elmo but not consistently. She can show you her eyes and mouth. She is sleeping mostly through the night but usually gets up at around 5:45 to eat and then goes right back to sleep. She naps 2 times a day. Its been a joy so far with this little girl. We love being her parents.

7 year doctor appointment

Its hard to believe that its been 7 years already. Tamara went in for her physical exam today with Dr. Legault. He has been her doctor for the last 7 years. Its so cool.

Happy Birthday Tamara

Tamara is now 7 years old. Its almost unbelievable how fast time has passed since the day she was born. She changed our lives that morning on Oct 11, 2004. She has been one stubborn, strong willed and strong minded child that has given us a run for our money. Because of her, we have become the parents we are today. She has taught us so much about parenting and for that we are grateful. We are looking forward to watching her grow and develop into a beautiful and intelligent young lady. We are so proud of her and her accomplishments so far. She has matured so much over this last year and she has made us so grateful that she is our little girl.

My girls

I feel so lucky to have been given the best kids. They each are so different, its amazing. I'm enjoying seeing them grow.

The litle Jack-o-lantern

Tamara has now lost her first top tooth. She now has two open gaps in her bottom teeth and one huge gap on her upper teeth. She looks very cute with her missing teeth. Just in time for Halloween, the little Jack-o-lantern.

11 months old

So I am now 11 months old and am growing so fast. I can crawl super fast and I am getting into everything. I love to put things into my mouth. My family has to make sure the floors are clear of small objects when I am around because if not I will pop them into my mouth. I am a mommy's girl right now and I do not like being away from my mom for too long. Nobody can hold me when my mom is around or else I will cry. I am starting to get mad when things are taken away from me. I will cry or scream, a sign that I am growing up. I am teething quite bad right now. I have 2 top teeth coming in at the same time and it is bothering me. My tongue is always sticking out and I am drooling like crazy. This makes me a little moody and fussy. It is not common for me to be fussy but right now i just cant help it because my mouth hurts. I have a total of 6 teeth right now. I can now wave good bye, I can show you my eyes, stand up for a few seconds and nod "no" with my head. I still love to eat but I am starting to refuse certain foods. I nap 2 times a day and go to bed between 7-8. Unfortunately, I still wake up at least once a night and that makes my parents very tired during the day. They hope that I start sleeping through the night soon.
