10/18/10 - I Just Want to Hold Her

I did everything I could to hold Marion today.  If she was stuck in her BebePod, I sat next to her,

If she was on the ground or on Momma's lap, I picked her up and held her in my lap,

Or snuggled her on top of me :).

I loved all the cuddle time with Goy today but after he and I had our dinners, I just watched Momma eat hers.  Momma said I looked and acted just like Goy did when he would watch her eat (never took my eyes off of the process and even mimicked the chewing faces she made).

- Momma note: Goy was so insistent to hold Marion all afternoon that he would scream and cry real crocodile tears if I didn't let him just pick her up and keep her.  Anytime I tried to take her back, he looked like I broke his heart and it would never heal.  Marion loved the attention and although there were a few tumbles (from a sitting position of course), it was wonderful brother-sister bonding time that made this Momma's heart melt.

10/17/10 - Snuggling With Daddy

We weren't able to snuggle or play with Daddy very much at all yesterday because he and Momma were busy packing.  But he made up for it this morning.

And even though we were sad to see him go, we were in a better mood for Momma because we got that time.

10/16/10 - International Diapered Duo

We got to strut our stuff this morning in our Roma t-shirts.  Daddy got to snuggle with us for a few minutes this morning then it was a crazy day.

After our afternoon naps, Goy got into Granny's newspaper stash she brought to help Momma pack up the house, so we got to read up on all the current events.

10/15/10 - We All Sleep Better When Daddy Comes Home

We were both so so so (did we say SO) excited to see Daddy tonight.  We played with him, had fun taking our bath and then fell asleep very quickly.  Can't wait until we're with him all the time.

10/14/10 - 21 Months Old

Marion and I got to swing at the park today.  Next to Auntie Erin, Uncle Justin, Lukas and Kaylee, we'll miss this awesome park most.

10/13/10 - Momma's Little Love Bugs

Goy hugged, kissed and snuggled me ALL day long and I loved every second of it!

Whenever we took breaks from being Momma's Little Love Bugs, Goy tried to teach me things.  My favorite (and the one he spent the most time on) was reading books.

 Even when he wasn't right next to me I watched him like a hawk today.

I had fun loving all over Marion today, but I especially enjoyed showing her how the pop outs from the book go in and out.  It was fun reading her one of my favorite books while she sat with me.

-Momma note:  Marion was leaning against my leg in the picture above.  She can sit for a few seconds on her own, if she decides its time to sit up straight, but she loves looking around so she topples over quickly.  It's really cute to see her sitting up and then try and turn quickly to follow Goy - I'm never far away though, so I catch her before she lands on her head.

10/12/10 - Our Afternoon

I took a really good nap this afternoon.  I was SO happy when I woke up!

While Marion napped, I snuggled with Momma watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Gramma recorded for me.
