Jianna

I don't know what it is exactly about her but she is amazing! I love her, even though she looks EXACTLY like her daddy! She is growing so fast and still only two teeth. It seems she has been teething forever!!! Whats funny is that she acts like she has a mouth full of teeth. She doesn't really care for her "baby food" anymore which is kinda a good thing I guess cuz I can stop buying it but she can't eat many other things cuz the girl ain't got no teeth! But here at lunch today she was eating some biscuit thingy and she made the hugest mess and I had to share this pic with you so enjoy!

Bella

So every Monday morning Bella has her speech lady come and yesterday after working together we sat down together and talked about her progress. She feels now there is no need for her to keep coming every week because she is doing so well. She was just explaining that the words are there, but some of the punctuation is not. And she praised Adam and I for doing what were doing with her like making her repeat us and making her say things in full sentences. She does wants us to do more oral stimulation with her like blowing bubbles, sucking yogurt thru a straw, and like blowing cotton balls across the table and fun things like that. Which I admit we havent been doing as often as we used to. I am happy that she has come such a long way. But I am sad cuz now it will be every other week. lol



So this week has been potty training with chonies on...interesting. I'll fill you in later on her progress.

Bringing it back...

Okay, to you who used to read our blog, I apologize for taking it away lol But no worries, it's back. I guess a quick thank you is appropiate for those who prayed for us and NEVER stopped, and you know why ;)
K I guess I'll update ya'll real quick with what is going on with us...

Adam is busy filling out applications to many police departments as he is looking to part from the air force after 6 years of faithful service. He is applying to some here in AZ and A LOT in CA! His six years is offiially up in Aug 13, 2008 so who knows, we might be back in good ol' so cal by then...(I hope not) But God may have other plans for us.

Natalia (me) is back to work at Texas Roadhouse...and I am not happy about it lol I'm only working 3 days a week so I guess its not that bad. But it still sucks.

Hailey is getting back into dance next week and is looking forward to that and is still doing a great job at homeschooling. It amazes how smart she is! However with that said as of right now her father and I have decided were gonna send her to school in first grade. She has lost two teeth now and her lucky booty has gotten $5 for each tooth from the tooth fairy! One of her many great questions that she is always asking her Dad and I was, "Mom, why does the tooth fairy want all the little kids teeth?" I answered her with, "umm, ask your Nana."

Bella is doing GREAT at her speech and potty training! That's right! Potty training! I never thought it would happen but it is! Here's the funny thing though, she only pees and poops on the potty if she is naked from the waist down. If she has chonies, pullups or a diaper on she will go in it! It's kinda funny though. So now the real fight is going to be able train her to go on the potty while haivng pants on lol Her speech lady is back to coming one day a week and these services will no longer be available to her when she turns 3. After that she will have to get her speech therapy at pre school. Adam and I had an appt at her school this past Thursday and we got to take a little tour of her school. She will be going two days a week!! So I am super excited for her and I think it will be awesome for her as well.

Jianna is 9 months!!! I feel with each kid it goes by faster and faster and I dont like it! She is able to crawl up the stairs like a pro and fall down the stairs like a pro as well! She is into everything and keeps us laughing every second! It's amazing how well she fits into our family! lol She is loud, funny, and just amazing!

K that's about it for now. Our cameras are broken right now so as soon as i get one i'll post some new pics of the girls
