Time is STILL flying....

Going back to work has made for a very busy Mommy! I didn't realize how much a school of 1000 kids would impact my daily jobs. We are all adjusting, but i still miss my old school and those who I worked with. It is so weird working with people who don't even know my girls! What a disadvantage to them! ;)
Our frequent trips to Disney continue. Peopel ask how we go theer so much and we just smile and say, it's all for the girls! Alyssa is really starting to enjoy it, at least I think so. She looks around, takes in all the sights, rides some rides, and even tried to eat Mickey's nose on our last visit! Addison still can't get enough of the princesses. She loves them!
Addison continues to amaze us. Her vocabulary and her animated conversations make us laugh every day! She loves her nanny Jenn, more than I can explain. So much that on the weekends we have the same conversation... Addison: "Mommy, you going to work today?" Me: "No, it's Saturday". Addison: "Oh, I want Jenn to come home" (instead of come over)followed by tears. This Mommy feels the love... haha! The time has FINALLY come for a haircut, well a trim. Addison has the craziest hair, I can't even explain how it grows. It took forever to grow and now it's just out of control! The challenge now is convincing her that a haircut will be fun. She wants her hair to "grow long, like Apunzel". She tells us that she doesn't want it cut becasue it will turn brown. Never underestimate the power of a Disney movie, thanks Tangled. We keep assuring her that it won't happen, but she is not convinced. We did tell her that since her first haircut will be at the barber shop (yes it's for girls too) at Magic Kingdom, it will be special. Now she thinks Mickey himself will be giving her a "trim".
Addison started dance classes 2 weeks ago and is loving it! She is doing tap, ballet, and tumbling. I was very impressed at how well she listened to the teacher and how mesmorized she was by the entire class. Nothing is more entertaining than 3 year olds in tights and leotards! They are all so cute!
Alyssa is growing faster than the grass is growing! Her 10 month appointment has her weighing in at 18lbs (50th percentile), 28.5 inches (75th percentile) and 97th percentile for head size. Hope that means she is going to be smart! She has 8 teeth. All 4 of her top ones came in at the same time. That was fun- for all of us! Alyssa got her ears peirced over the weekend and I'm not sure who was more scared; her or Daddy. There were a lot of tears shed, but she quickly recovered and looks adorable. Brian survived too! The biggest news is walking is VERY near! Yesterday she stood up for about 10 seconds on her own and again today. She looks so funny becasue she is still so small. Addison is thrilled and can't wait for Alyssa to get big like her. We haven't caught it on video or camera yet, but I am going to try my best to! I was lucky enough to catch Addison's first steps on video on the beach with lots of friends there to witness it!
These girls are something else. Time and time agin people said, you'll never imagine how much you will love your kids and they were right... nothing makes me happier!
