No, for Brady.
Well, I'm sorry you can't find it mama. Don't worry. When Dada gets home dada will help you find it, don't worry!

I'm sitting here right now typing and she is in her chair eating rice with chopsticks. I can NOT eat rice with chopsticks! I can not even eat an egg roll with chopsticks unless I poke it! 

A random woman walked passed us today. Never saw her before, didn't exchange any words with her, nothing. 2 minutes later she walked back up to us and said, That's a walking miracle right there, a walking miracle! If she only knew how right she is!

Her belly is flat, no edema whatsoever. The days, each one after the other are bringing more activity. She is gaining weight. She is happy and bossy and funny and a little stinker at times! 

I don't know what tomorrow or next week or next month will bring, but today, the right here and now... IS SUCH A GIFT!!!

Lexi

Mommy, you know what? 
What?
God gave me a sister so I would never feel alone.
Your right baby, he sure did!
And that's why Ivy and I both have black hair. Because He wanted us to look alike so everyone would get us mixed up!


Mommy do you remember when daddy wasn't using his head and he said they don't make surf boards in Arizona? 
Oh yep, I remember that.
Ya, me too! Daddy sure is a cwazy dad!

Mommy your the best mommy in the whole world! And daddy is the best daddy in the whole world! And I'm the best daughter in the whole world!
:)

Mommy remember when you said, doing our best is more important than being the best?
I sure do!
Well, you were wrong... Today Miss Vanessa said my toes were pointed the best and it felt important!
Oh dear :(

Mommy,  Ivy wants to wisten to wobble again. I know your ears are tired of the same song over and over, but try and remember that she is just a baby and she needs this time to relax!

Hi mommy!
Hi!

Yes
Well, I was wondering if I could use it to trace circles?
Sure
Thanks Mommy, Your a great share er.. and your setting a great example! 
(I think she must have heard that a few times before..)

LIFE IS GOOD!!!
