According to the calendar, it will be Spring in two days. According to the thermometer, not so much. Despite the dismal April weather, there have been a few Spring-like days for Libby and Mary to enjoy thus far. Last Sunday was especially nice, so after Dad got home from work, Libby spent plenty of time outside, first shooting hoops and then cruising the neighborhood in her souped-up Radio Flyer. Despite what the picture might suggest, Libby is not trying out for the Amish Basketball Team. She has really become enamored with the Disney princesses, and to that end, she will only wear dresses.
So, in the past few weeks, Mom and Dad have had to go out and buy skirts, dresses, nightgowns, and various tops, shirts, and leggings to match. It was cute for a while, now it's just out of control. Libby even upped the ante today, by choosing to wear her Christmas dress to daycare. Nothing like wearing your Sunday best to daycare on a Monday morning! The wardrobe isn't the only thing that's changed, however. Libby is currently strutting around the house with purple toe nails, and she is starting to communicate even more. She is speaking in complete sentences (sometimes) and (usually) expresses complete thoughts when she talks. She has become quite the proficient counter and pretty much has the alphabet down.
Mary has been keeping pace with her big sister. She has gotten her first two teeth, she is sitting up by herself, and, just the other day, she started clapping. Mary has also started blabbering quite a bit. Just last night she dropped her first "Da-Da." She wasn't calling for Dad necessarily, but it's definitely a start! Speaking of starts, yesterday officially kicked off the Easter season, as Libby and Mary got their picture taken with the Easter Bunny at Great Northern Mall. It was the first time for either of them, and they did better than Mom and Dad could have hoped. The picture is absolutely adorable. And finally, a special thanks to Aunt Reen for getting Libby tickets to Sesame Street Live for Christmas. Mom, Dad and Libby went to the show Saturday morning. While the show was probably a little too long for Libby's patience, she really enjoyed it, especially getting to see her buddies Cookie, Elmo and Ernie!
