The babes <3

My daughter has learned some new things as of late. She can now clap :) it is ridiculously adorable when she realizes that her hands are actually meeting and making the clapping sound.

Liv is also taking steps. Actual steps. She is going to be walking any minute.

She follows me all over the house and plays on the kitchen floor while I am cooking. (note to self: mop kitchen floor again)I actually don't really like that because my fear is that I will spill something on her. Not good. She is taking really well - finally- to her playpen so that's good. I can pop her in there when I use the oven.

My girl is eating finger foods! woo hoo! She still gets her oatmeal and puree until my stock is gone) for breakfast, but lunch is finger foods, dinner is finger and bedtime she gets more oatmeal.

She is learning words which is way fun :) She crawls over to me and says mama! She also says "what's that". Of course it is not clear as day, but when you match it with her motions and actions- we know what she is saying :)

She loves music! Whenever we put music on the TV she takes off to get to the tv as fast as she can. Jammin is a huge black eyed peas fan and we often play "gotta feeling", or "boom boom pow" for him and Olivia is just mezmerized.

This leads me to my son, Ben. He is obsessed with Fergie. Absolutely loves her. Told me she was pretty- how does a 3 year old know what pretty is?- and the other day, get ready for this, he says, "mommy, I like Fergie's butt!" WHAT?? Well, no more music videos for you buddy! The video for "gotta feeling" starts off with her getting ready to go out and you get a booty shot (with undies) but apparantly that caught my son's eye. Now he is all about butt's. Let's hope it a phase :)
Ben is learning all kinds of new songs at preschool. He walks around all day singing and talking to himself :P He is obsessed with Geo Trax- thank you fisher price for putting me in the red- (not really, but close) :P My house looks like a department store with train displays all over the place. His train sets are now bigger than his train table which takes up half a wall...seriously.

I will update later on the older babes. They are 13 and 11. Not as cute. :( Especially when they *THINK* they are grown! Grrr....
