Some Snow
After last year's blizzards—this year's snow seems lame-o. But you both love "SNOW" (as Willa likes to yell it) and so we take every opportunity to play in it—even if it's an inch or two at 7 PM. My favorite moments: Milo doing snow angels and saying, "Mommy, it tastes like rain!"
WILLA IS TWO
Ohh, my silly Willie. My ray of sunshine. My sweet, happy, mop-topped, nanny obsessed, Barbie and baby loving GIRL. You are two! And so independent. You like to scoot down the steps on your tush, you love to drink from a real cup and eat mommy's cereal/yogurt/whatever "my self." You sometimes like to sit on the potty naked. You speak so well. You can put together little sentences and really express yourself well. You love your brother (wo-wo) and your dog. You are still relatively easy to put to bed (most nights) and still take great naps. You crack yourself up. (And us too.) Your favorite word is still NO and we are getting a whiff of the Terrible 2's. Sometimes you eat great, sometimes no. You have a sweet tooth just like your brother. You love your Anna. You like to wear watches and dresses. You love "bafffths" (baths.) And playing. You adore Milo but also like to antagonize him. You heart "Ming Ming Tuck" and "moveee" (Monsters Inc.) You are the best baby girl a mommy could ever ask for. And as Milo says, we're about to be outnumbered, so we gotta stick together.
My First Baby Shower. Ever.
Well, it took twins ... but I finally had a baby shower! I'm glad I waited! So nice to feel relaxed and happy and really know what I needed for the boys. It was one of the nicest afternoons I've ever had. Lots of family (mom, Aunt Karen, Beth, Gail) and a ton of friends. The boys are so lucky to be surrounded by so much love! The highlight: sitting in Susan's glider! And despite it being bitter cold—no snow! And I didn't go into labor. And I made it up the stairs. And the food was so freaking good. And I loved every second.
Work Shower
No surprisingly mommy was late to her surprise work shower. It was so lovely and I felt spoiled and loved. Two cakes for "Mike" and "Ike" and a birthday cupcake for me. Three cards. Three balloons. And two gifts. I'm enjoying my leftover cake while my belly still dwarfs my thighs.
