Lianna's Life

Kids Update

Sorry it's been so long, it is time for an update and some pics.
Dalila is 6 months now and brings us so much happiness everyday. If she isn't crying or sleeping, she is smiling at us. She's got Brandon's adorable dimples and super soft skin, I just can't help but kiss her every time she smiles at me. Dean loves trying to make her laugh and she is mesmorized by him. She is almost crawling and almost sitting up. She finally mastered sucking her thumb by herself so I could get rid of the pacifier. She rolls and scoots backwards and you can tell she just wants to go exploring. I can see her first teeth trying to emerge any day and her eye color is changing from dark blue/gray to brown. She's been trying new foods, it's hard to tell if she likes it since every bite comes right back out first. We are finally getting a full nights sleep and she is learning to extend her 30 minute naps.
Dean is your typical 3 year old, he likes watching cartoons, playing outside with rocks, playing with his toy cars, eating any food he can get his hands on, and playing with friends. His great memory surprises us. He sings songs after only hearing them once or twice. His favorite Beach Boys song is 409 and requests it every time we get in the car. He is a good brother, always trying to help when Dalila is crying, keeps quiet while she is sleeping and wants to tickle and amuse her. He says funny things all the time I can't keep track. One day while he was eating, he asked me, "Are you thinking about what I am thinking about?" I said, " I don't know, what are you thinking about?" He said, "I'm thinking about a rhino." It was so matter of fact. He has also started asking interesting questions like, "How does cheese come from cows?" and "Do dinosaurs have a penis?" Gotta love it!

We've been taking it easy the last 6 months, but now that Dalila is more mobile I hope to get out with them more. I can't wait until we can take them on a vacation.
