the girls are loving:

hazel:

- the zoo, the park, going on walks, and all-around anything outside the house

- her speech therapy

- the ipad (yes, still obsessed, but we try to limit her screen time as much as possible.)

- dressing up as different animals or princesses- just wait til you see our halloween costumes!

- jumping on the couch (i am not so fond of this)

- reading "are you my mother?" - she can practically quote this book

- eating pizza (she LOVES pizza!) and breakfast burritos and showing us how different animals eat - which basically means making the sound that that animal makes.  the dog, for instance, simply takes a bite and says, "woof! woof!"

- doing "surprise eggs" which is basically where i put a treat or tiny toy inside of easter eggs, cover them in play-dough, and then she gets to uncover what is inside

- helping me cook or bake

- watching singing and dancing of any kind: watching little clips of broadway shows like finding neverland and singing in the rain is our new favorite!

- being tickled

cora mae:

- cora simpy loves everything.  she loves the world.  she loves getting attention from strangers, being sung to, and just being ignored and let to play with toys.  seriously.

- eating crackers and pizza crust and anything that she can independently put in her mouth and gum to oblivion.  she can even put puffs (cheerios) in her mouth one-by-one, which takes fine motor skillzz

- watching hazel run around, dance, jump, or act goofy or entertaining in any way

- playing with wrappers - under strict supervision

- rolling over immediately when i lay her down

- sleeping on her stomach - which is so weird for me, since hazel abhorred being on her tummy

- jumping in her jumperoo

- looking at her adorable little self in the mirror

- when mom kisses under her chin (the best giggles)
