Wow, what milestones to accomplish...

Well, Anna is just over 15 months old - and she is walking around getting into everything. She is soo funny though, when she loses her balance and falls to the floor. When Anna falls to the floor she gets pist at herself for falling, because it's a lot harder for her to get up again to walk again. But, Anna is slowly learning how to titter totter to catch her balance before falling onto the floor. She has figured out how to move her toys closer to the couch so she can climb up onto the couch. I am sure her brother taught her a few things also, behind mommy's back.

As for Peter, he had a big question - "Where did Anna come from". Mommy was surprised that Peter asked that question out of the clear blue sky. So mommy told Peter that his sister came from the same place he did, and then Peter had this look on his face like "what". Mommy told Peter that Anna was adopted from Guatemala just like he was. Then Peter's reply was "oh, okay - that's cool". Peter is at that age now of asking questions and he wonders about a lot of things. But mommy likes when he ask questions, because that is a sign that he is learning.

We have two wonderful children that are growing up in so many different ways. Anna is definitely your little girl - that can be sooo stubborn at times and sweet as a button other times. Peter wants to know everything and he listens to what everyone is saying around him. Peter is your typical boy climbing on anything and getting into anything that he can. Peter is your typical 3 year old with "that selective hearing" also - and that drives daddy nuts. LOL.

It'll be interesting to see how the holidays go with these two little angels.

okay, so I have been slacking lately - but that is no excuse - so I am going to get you all caught up now with the 2 little kiddos

So, let me catch everyone up here........Anna & Peter are doing great. Peter is patiently waiting for his baby sister to get bigger/older so he can really play with her. He keeps on thinking she is old enough to wrestle on the floor and play with. But mommy has her bets on Anna, when Anna gets bigger/older and starts walking - she is going to keep Peter in check.

The last weekend in August, mommy, Peter and Anna were playing. Mommy stood Anna up to walk to her big brother. Peter was soo excited, because Anna took 4 steps right into his arms. Since then, Anna gets really excited and the arms start flapping and she just loses her balance and falls on her behind.

Peter and Anna has been enjoying going to the library together to join in on classes with other kids their age. It is quite funny to watch how a 1 year old and a 3 year old act so different in a group setting.

Peter started pre school on Sept. 4th (it was with parents too), and then on Sept. 9th he went into the classroom like a trooper - my little boy is getting so big so quick. Peter goes to Pre School at the YMCA twice a week and is loving it. This week he is off from school, because he is sick - so he is home with his mom and sister. Peter was asking about going to school, but mommy had to explain to him how sick kids have to stay home so the other kids don't get sick too.

Peter celebrated his 3rd Birthday on September 15, 2008. We had a party at Chuck E Cheese (on Sat. the 13th) for all his cousins & friends - it turned out to be about 20 kids and 20 adults. The kids had fun and Peter enjoyed being able to get to play his games at Chuck E Cheese. The party was the Power Ranger Theme. Peter just loves those Power Rangers - I bet you can't guess what he is going to be for Halloween.

As for adventures...........We went to Disney World - yes, that is right - mommy, Anna, and Peter all went to Disney world and Aunt Karen joined us in the fun. Aunt Joann (mommy's oldest sister) planned her 60th Birthday party in Disney and at the last minute mommy decided to join in on the fun. Aunt Karen (daddy's sister) called mommy to see if she can come along - it tuned out to be a fun time. Daddy couldn't come, because he had to work. We went Sept. 25th until Sept. 30th with the entire family. Everyone in mommy's family was there, except for a hand full who couldn't make it. Anna and Peter had sooo soo much fun in Disney. It was hot in Florida, so after lunch we went back to the resort (Saratoga Springs) to swim in the pool and play in the sprinkler park and then we laid down for a nap. Once the kiddos woke up from a nap - we got ready to go out to dinner and then we hit a theme park that was open late that evening. We did quite a few character meals - and the kids really enjoyed them. Anna and Peter loved Chef Mickeys - where Mickey and his pals were. Anna was all over the characters giving them kisses and all. Peter had fun shopping with his Disney Dollars - and who would of guessed that he would buy a book at the Disney Store at Magic Kingdom - we read that book a few dozen times while in Disney.

Unfortunately, with all this fun in Disney World, and Anna and Peter being all over everything - they managed to bring home Cox Sackie with them - and that has not been enjoyable. Luckily - Anna is getting better and the blisters are healing on her body, Peter has it bad in his mouth and hopefully it won't spread to his body - positively thinking. I guess no matter how clean one might be with their child - there is always some germ just floating around.

So, I am going to attempt to update this blog weekly - yes, I know you read that before - but this time I am going to do my best on it. As for pics of Peter's Birthday party and Disney - hopefully this weekend I will be able to download them and add them to the blog.
