P, WHAT CAN I SAY..........

I posted a picture of a halloween costume that P wanted, well it's changed. Which I knew it would! She's like her momma and changes her mind more times than I would like. Now she wants to be a vampire. Since the movie TWILIGHT has come out you could say that both of us have kind of been obsessed. We watch the movie every night before we fall a sleep and her favorite song is the "baseball song" as she puts it. And right now, that's all I can remember too. :)

So it looks like I'll be ordering a vampire costume for my little Twilighter. She likes Edward because I like Edward and she can't wait for NEW MOON to come out. I'll try to post a picture of her ideal vampire costume as soon as I can find the catalog, I think it's in my van but I'm not sure.

But T is going to be a caterpillar. And she will be a very CUTE Caterpillar, if I say so myself!!!

8 MONTHS OLD

Teela's costume

Prairie's Costume

T turned 8 months old yesterday. It's so exciting. She's crawling and pulling up. I'm a nervous wreck but it's fun to see the changes in her. She's so cute and I love her to death. I am glad she is in my life. We went shopping on Saturday and I found the cutest halloween costume for her. She's gonna be a catapillar, and a very cute catapillar at that. I'll have to put her costume on her and take pictures. I'll post them as soon as I do.

Prairie didn't get a costume because they didn't have her size. She was mad, but I assured her, I would order hers online. She's going to be a dancer or something. It's a costume out of the fifties or something. I think it will look cute on her, too.

SoMe NeW NEWS!!!!!

Last week both Girls were sick. Well, technically, Teela was sick with a stomach virus for a week and two days. Prairie was sick for one whole day and then hers was over. I missed a whole week of work. I hate it when babies get sick because they can't tell you what's wrong or where they're hurting. Teela has started crawling. So now she's into everything. She's also pulling up, which scares me to death. She's already had two Boo-boos. She likes to swing her arms back and forth and sometimes she loses her balance. But those don't stop her she gets right back up and goes again. I think she'll be walking soon. She'll be 8 months on Sunday. She's doing great and she loves her momma and big sister (even though big sister bugs the heck out of her.) :) Prairie has completed her first week of kindergarten. But she still not convinced she's in big school. Mainly because her school is still under construction and she's in the exact same room she was in for pre-school. We are not sure when her NEW school will be ready, but I wish the contractors would hurry up. They're already a month behind schedule and I think it's irritating everyone. Well, I think that's it for now. T and Prairie's Mom

GRADUATION

Last night my first baby graduated from pre-school. As much as I was dreading it, it was a really great show. I don't have any pictures right now, but I will try and post some later. She dressed in her traditional clothes and had her hair fixed very pretty. They had a slide show of all the babies from the very beginning in 2004 to now. It was a wonderful slide slow. There were some great memories shown and there were also some sad memories shown.

My daughter received her basket that once held diapers, pacifiers, little bity socks and little bity clothes. Her blanket that has kept her warm for five years, and a new woven belt that will last a life time. I didn't cry, but I was on brink there a couple of times.

On August 10th she'll start big School!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY BABY GIRL!!!!!

MEETING & TRIP

On Thursday I have a meeting with a social worker in regards to Teela. Nothing has happened just that she's newly assigned to the case and needs to meet with me face to face. I am going to ask for her help in getting permanent custody of Teela and get some information about adopting her. Teela fits in with our family so well, I can't see her not being with us. She's adjusted so well, and I am no longer afraid to get close to her. She's starting to crawl and she can sit up on her own, something she started last week. She's also trying to pull herself up. She's doing alot for 7 months old. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Please keep your fingers crossed.

Today Prairie took a trip to Babyland ( home of the cabbage patch kids.) I think it's a trip she'll enjoy, but it's the first trip she's gone on without me. From my understanding it's about 3 hours away from where we live so I am just wondering how that went. But there were other children on this trip so maybe she's not too lonely. Usually, if she goes somewhere without me, she missing me about 20 minutes into the trip. She's doesn't really go anywhere unless I am with her and she hasn't been away from me since her dad and I divorced. She's my girl and I know that really bothers her dad. This trip was a total surprise. I've been getting her counseling since losing Cylas and the divorce, this trip was sponsored by her doctor. I just want her to enjoy herself today.

Life with Teela and Prairie is never boring. I hope I get some good news about custody on Thursday and I really hope Prairie isn't freaking out right about now.

The Mom

7 MONTHS OLD

Today Teela is 7 months old. Prairie doesn't understand the whole month to month thing. She thinks she should turn a year older each time Teela turns a month older. It's so funny!! I've tried to explain it to her, but she's not in a understanding mood.

Teela I am so thankful you have entered my life. I can now see a little light at the end of my tunnel. You have brought joy back into my life and I love you as if you were my own. Keep growing, keep smiling, and just know that you are wanted and loved.

HAPPY 7 MONTHS TEELA!!!
