Something really weird happened to me the other night.

I was sitting at the computer at 12:15 a.m. typing to someone when I just felt weird and it started to look like the table my laptop sits on was falling over. I felt really freaked out and tried to get up to go get Jimmy and I could hardly walk to the bedroom. I heard a bunch of crashing behind me as I was trying to walk because I pushed myself off the table to get up and I guess it fell. I made it in the bedroom and tried to wake Jimmy up to tell him what happened, but he didn't really do anything. I think he was still asleep. Anyway, I went back into the living room and the only thing that fell were a hairbrush sitting on the table and the laptop. It was really freaky. I really thought the entire table crashed down.

And then around 4:00 in the morning I hear one of the girls waking up and I stood up to go to their room and fell right over. My entire right leg was asleep! It was like I didn't even have one! My husband was up immediately for that one and wanted to make sure I was Ok...that made up for him sleeping through my earlier issues.

What a weird night...it didn't help that I was reading about ghosts...I was freaked out all night! I really freaked out when the light I was using in the living room just shut off as I was cleaning! Nobody was near the light switch or plug when it shut off. I had moved something right next to it a minute before so I guess that moved the plug...I just wonder why it took a minute or two to fall out. Weird. And I almost forgot, Kylie has been sleeping out in the living room lately, but that night she was able to go in her crib, but when I was in the living room I started to think Kylie was in her pack n' play like normal because it sounded like she was rolling over in there. Strange.

In other news, I just copied some old entries into my blog. I put my birth stories and my wedding day. They are archived at the correct month and year if anyone is interested in seeing them (June + July 2006 and May 2008) If I find any more I may add them. I've been looking through an old livejournal of mine I have been thinking of getting rid of and wanted to preserve these posts.

Christmas!

Christmas was pretty nice. I couldn't sleep the night before which pissed me off and then we woke up early and the girls saw this.



The girls pulled in a nice haul! Only a few of those aren't theirs.






Playing with Elmo's Restaurant.



My sister got me Monty Python and The Holy Grail killer rabbit slippers!



The bunny ate Kylie's foot.



The haul. Lucky girls!

Here are some more pictures that I love.



Kylie and I



Alana being a ham for the camera.



Kylie's puppy dog eyes.

ETA: Kylie is pulling up to stand now! She's also crawling like a mad woman and keeps trying to get our shoes at the door. I make a barrier out of toys and toy boxes, but Alana keeps taking it apart! Alana is also talking a lot. She seems to have a great memory. She'll watch a new show and by the second time she watches it she's saying the lines right along with the show! She also seems to be getting taller. This girl will be huge!

I will try to get better at this...

I keep forgetting about my blog! And of course, the times I do remember the girls need me 1 minute after I start typing.

Kylie is screaming (playfully) right now and Alana is drawing. I'm trying to squeeze in some blog time!

I took some Christmas pictures and FINALLY sent out my cards yesterday. I loved the pictures.








I am also very happy because we received the crib we ordered for Kylie the other day! It took a LOOONG time to get here (don't order from babycenter...) But I love it! I'm not sure if I mentioned before that we lost the old crib in the move, but we did and I was really upset about that. However, this new crib is gorgeous!! Kylie seems to like it a lot and Alana keeps pointing to Kylie in the crib saying she is stuck. It's cute.




Oh and Kylie is crawling!!! She is a master at it! I also think she'll be pulling up to standing soon. She is really trying.



I almost forgot to mention that it's my husband's 22nd birthday tomorrow!! I'd write what I bought him, but I'm not sure if he can find the blog or not! We're going to go out to eat at a Steak house and then get some Cold Stone Creamery ice cream!

I'm back!

I've been gone for about a month, huh? Moving has been crazy and I still don't have my laptop hooked up to the internet and need to steal my husband's haha.

So we are in Wisconsin now and my husband has started his new job (the reason we came out here..can't remember if I said that or not)

Alana is speaking so many sentences now. She really is such a big girl. It's fun to watch her as she watches TV shows because she really gets into it now. She'll dance around during the songs and do what the characters ask (Stand up and jump!!). I think it is so cute.

Kylie is almost crawling. She is up on her hands and knees, rocking back and forth. I think she'll start any day now.

Anyway, Thanksgiving is tomorrow so Happy Turkey day everyone!! Alana's 3rd Thanksgiving and Kylie's 1st. Kylie isn't big on baby food yet so she probably won't eat any of the goodness, but Alana will have her first Thanksgiving where she will actually eat the food! (she wasn't eating much table food last thanksgiving when she was around 1 year 4 months) It's exciting!

I hope everyone has been doing well. I don't know if I'll be able to catch up on a months worth of posts from you guys, but I'll try!

I do not update this thing enough...

Here's some crazy news! We are moving to Wisconsin. Our apartment is awesome! 2 bed 2 bath. Jacuzzi tub and large standing shower. The kitchen is pretty large and so is the living room. There is a washer and dryer as well. There is also a garage, which is nice. My favorite part is that there is a free gym for tenents! I am so PSYCHED about this! I am so motivated to get healthy and stop being fat! I can't wait. Oh wait, I lied, my favorite part is that everything is so much cheaper in WI than CT!!! This apartment is costing the same as crap apartments over here. It's great!! I'll be sure to take pictures once I set everything up.

Anyway, we have booked our flight for Nov. 1st. We are just working out details on moving our stuff. Its actually pretty complicated to transfer Jimmy's car in his name and move states...so annoying.

Kylie cut her first tooth yesterday. I'm glad she finally did because she's been uncomfortable for days. Orajel has been our best friend. I don't think I mentioned that Kylie has been sitting up on her own for a while either. She's getting so big. I've kinda started her on solids. I'm mostly waiting for the move though because I want to make her food homemade for her. It'll be better...jarred baby food is so nasty.

We had to give away our cat Wiley. A bit of backstory on Wiley. He is my cat Chibi's brother. My brother owned him since he was a kitten for 7 years and then Wiley got beat up by their younger cat and he was given to my mom (I wouldn't keep the aggressor...poor Wiley). Then all the divorce stuff happened and my mom moved out of the house into an apartment. She was only allowed to have 1 cat and Gilly (whom we've had since 1999) went because she was also very fond of my little brother who still lived with my mom. We took in Wiley because he was Chibi's brother and I felt bad for him. Well he annoyed the crap out of us for the longest time and we never really bonded with him. Now with the move we can't have any cats. Luckilly our Panda and Luna are at Jimmy's parent's house living the good life and my mom says that she could take one more cat at her apartment now (the 2nd floor tenant flooded the apartment and the Landlord isn't doing anything to fix the damage so she doesn't care anymore and says the Landlord owes her some leeway). She is also just found out she got approved for a house and will be buying one soon and Chibi will live with her since he's my baby and I couldn't bear the thought of not having him..he is my best friend. Well we didn't have anyplace for Wiley so we had to find him a home. We lucked out BIG TIME! A nice family contacted us because their cat died in June and they wanted an adult, not a kitten. The woman works at a school and we were able to look her up and confirm her identity. I feel really good with this choice. She's going to send us pictures and let us know how WIley is doing. I feel so bad about giving him up (I always said I wouldn't do this...) and felt even worse as Alana was sobbing as we drove away yelling "Wy Wy!" (her nickname for him) when she saw him go in the lady's car. That made me cry. My mom is sad that she couldn't get a house sooner because she really liked Wiley and would have taken him (her apartment is WAAAAAAY too small for 3 cats). It's sad...I wish it didn't have to happen. I really think he'll be happy though...

JUMP JUMP!

She can sit!!














When Alana was around 10 months old or so I went to visit a friend who had a niece a few months younger than Alana. She had a Rainforest jumperoo and let Alana try it. She played happily for the longest time and I told myself that whenever I have another kid, the jumperoo is a MUST!

Well...I just bought Kylie her Rainforest jumperoo! She is in love with it! It is so cute to see her bouncing around in that thing. We got an awesome deal on it too, about $20.00 cheaper than buying it in the store. I am extremely happy with it!

We also decided to get Alana some Dora the Explorer dvds and she is crazy about it!! When I shut it off she goes "My Dora!" it is so adorable. Alana is getting so big. The sentences are all over the place now and she's getting better at her Alphabet and Numbers everyday. She knows all the letter and numbers, but hasn't learned the order of the letters yet. She'll get it quickly, though. She seems to learn very quick.
