My Two Sweeties

My two sweeties!!! Sammie loves her little sister. Eliana loves Sammie too, but knows when she is holding her; thus the sour face.

Busted Lip

When Paul and I were out Christmas shopping, I received a phone call from my most wonderful friend in the whole world. She said,
"We have a problem. Sammie busted her lip while she and Brennen were playing with a toy."
I wasn't worried. I got to the house and looked at it. It looked fine to me.
Then yesterday, Sammie went to have her teeth cleaned and the Dentist showed me the inside of her lip. It was sliced all the way through!!
So I took her across the street to the Doctor and Sammie's Pediatrian said that she wouldn't have put a stitch in. Since I brought her in the next day, she said it was okay.
My little trooper didn't make much of a deal about the whole thing. She just wants to have drinks with a straw.

New Milestones

Eliana is now sitting up!! I'm glad because now she can start to get rid of her flat head. She just loves sleeping flat on her back. I've tried to sleep her on the side and stomach, but it's a no go. She puts her hands up and under her head and just rocks that little noggin back and forth.

She has also cut two teeth! On Friday, I almost went out of my mind listening to her scream and then finally realized she was in pain. After the tylenol set in, she was good to go.

TOOOOOO Busy

I don't know how all of you do it...... I seem so busy lately.

Here's my day:

1. Get up when I hear Eliana cry (hurry so Sammie doesn't wake up). Usually between 6 and 7am.
