Our Girls

Tehya:
-turned 5 on November 28th
-talks constantly... and I do mean constantly!
-is very into the "preteen" music like Hannah Montana, The Jonas Brothers and the Naked Brothers Band
-is very creative and artistic. She loves to draw and color, and painting is even better. She loves craft projects and working with beads and ribbons and other things of that nature.
-likes Polly Pockets, Littlest Pet Shop, My Little Ponies, Barbies and anything Disney Princess.
-is a fantastic big sister. She grumbles every once and awhile about Ada getting drool on a toy, but otherwise is usually the first to offer to share or show her little sister something.
-is in her second year of dance lessons. She gets to see what her recital costumes will look like this year next week and we are very excited about that!
-is turning into quite the young lady. She is very stubborn and has a bit of a temper when she doesn't get her way, but is also very compassionate and aware of other peoples feelings around her. She wants to learn to read very badly, so we are spending lots of time with books and practicing our letters.

Ada:
-turned 1 on August 21st
-is growing her vocabulary by the day. Words she currently uses are: mommy, daddy, kitty, puppy, buh-bye, hi, more, thank you (although she says it tant-too), and yeah
-is very affectionate. She loves to give kisses and does running tackling hugs from time to time that make us all giggle.
-has become very good friends with our cat Ellie. They play tag most days. Ellie usually tires of the game before Ada does.
-has the reach of a long armed ape. It doesnt matter how far in from a table or countertop edge you put something....she somehow seems to get it.
-is a foodie. She loves to eat and will chow down on anything you hand her. She also likes to be in the kitchen and recently has started "helping" me unload the dishwasher.
-adores her big sister. Anything Tehya does grabs Ada's attention right away and usually results in a very amusing imitation.
