As I was just re-reading my last post from November where I named off a few words that my then 16-month old could say (ie. grapes, shower, etc.) I'm thinking about how much her brain has grown in just 7 or 8 months and I'm just in awe thinking about how God created us. I can't believe how He designed us and how complex we are and how fast our brains absorb infomation and grow...how could we have come from monkeys?!
My little girl went from saying "zsha-zsho" for shower just 8 months ago, to today (at 23 months) saying "In-a take a showa too?" Amazing! She can say multiple word sentences now! I'm astonished.
Some thing's she also says...
"Mommy i have a cookie?"
"See baby Ivia?"
"Stay right there"
"Mommy sit right here"
"I hear sumping"
"I see birdies!"
"I knocked-a gate ovah!"
and one of my favorites...
"where'd dat come fom?"
She's so smart. I can't help but say it. Such a little sponge. She really absorbs and remembers things so quickly...She is not afraid to repeat words and attempt them even if they're hard to say. Its fun to ask her to say something and see what she comes up with...like helicopter..."hepicopta". :) So cute.

So much for time...
Not enough hours in the day....if there were more hours in a day, I think they would likely be filled up just as easily and quickly as they are now. I think the key is prioritizing tasks and managing time well. Something I really need to work on. I tend to get so scatterbrained when it comes to doing housework especially. I start on one thing like doing laundry, and on my way to fold clean clothes, I stop and pick up toys and look over at my computer and then go check my email and facebook for half an hour. Before long, the babies wake up and I still have a pile of un-folded laundry!
Anyway, since I last posted, I've had another baby! I can't believe the last thing I wrote about was in November..so much has happened since then.
I love my house, Rob has been working steadily on it since Thanksgiving, and it really has been a real-life extrememe makeover. We were living in the basement for a couple months (while I was prego, I'll have you know) while the upstairs got hardwood floors and a new kitchen. Most of it's finally done now, save for a few painting and finshing things.
Also, in April our second little girl was born. She's been an adjustment for Madi, but Madi seems to be getting a little better and better with her as time passes. She has really good days being nice to her, then other days where she is not so nice...but I have to be patient and remember that I was the same way when my little brother was born (we are the same distance in age apart as my two girls...a year and nine months).
Anyway, God is good and has also provided us the opportunity to get a new van...just last week before our first trip to the beach. Don't know how we would have made it without it...you can really pack a LOT of stuff for a couple and two babies! It's been great, but now we're really broke! A good lesson in saving and watching where the money goes...it'll be good discipline. :)
I'm thankful.

About Me
- deeves
- I'm a mommy who happens to be blessed with the opportunity right now to stay at home and take care of our two little girls. I love my "job" and I love my husband, my family, my good friends, and most of all God who has blessed me with all of this. I also love music (singing, playing, worshiping God through, recording, listening..you name it). I know we all have our share of trials, but I also know that there is a God bigger than all of them who promises to carry us through them. His love is unbeatable, unmatched in all the universe and is for us!
