Mother's Day and May Developments

There are sometimes I still can't believe how lucky I am to be a mom to these beautiful girls. God is good. Very, very good.

My husband did a fabulous job with his gift. He was thoughtful enough to give me two charms for my "mommy" bracelet. His card thanked me for doing all I do and a card from the girls thanking me for bringing them into this world. Which of course, brought me to tears. We had a great weekend celebrating with both families.

Livvy is getting closer and closer to walking. She is standing more on her own but has taken a liking to the sudden dive, especially on the couch. The girls are talking more and more to each other. Their bond grows stronger and stronger each day.

Mia is continuing showing her attentiveness by giving everyone something they put down or took off. Shoes, purses, bags, hats, keys, cups, you name it; she knows who it belongs to. She is also a little parrot, repeats every thing that she can and if she can't, she tries.

Livvy is singing and dancing to her heart's content. She has mastered the long vowel sounds of o and e. And loves using her tongue to make various noises, I can't begin to describe. Not clicking, almost words. When she repeats the long vowel sounds, I inevitably hear Morris Day's "Jungle Love" in my head for many minutes afterwards. Sometimes I even sing it to her and she loves it.

We have also been spending time at the pool. They love splashing in the water but they cold so we don't stay so long which is probably good. Daddy loves this time which is amazing because before the girls, unless we are on vacation, it's like pulling teeth to get him in the water.
