THANKS - GRACIAS
09/04/08- I started taking dance classes, and I LOVE it! There are about 10 girls in my class and we all wear pretty pink dance clothes and wear special shoes too! I get to twirl around and hop and skip too! And I even pay attention! (well, most of the time, good enough to fool mami :) )
We are doing our March for babies this coming Friday! Don't forget to donate :)
Oh yeah, did I mention that Fiona FINALLY reached 30 lbs?? YEAYYY!!!!!! It was about time :) Had to take Sebastian to the doctor last week (last week in August) and since we were there we got Fiona weighed - and yes! she's 30.2 lbs !!!! HOORAAYYYY
No need to tell you that Fiona still LOVES shoes, and purses, and 'lips' (lipstick) and 'eyes' (eyeliner or mascara), and 'nails' (nail polish) and dresses and skirts (all to which she refers to as 'pretties'). She often tells me that she 'needs lips', or she 'needs purple nails' :). But she loves to wrestle on the ground with papi and Seba and loves to boss boys around :) what a future!
05/27/08- we had a great time in Solomon's Island with grandma, grandpa and our cousin Logan :) I got to boss two boys around instead of good ol' Seby :) - and I kept them inline too - I was a big help for mami :)
04/24/08- we visited Uruguay and threw Iaia a surprise birthday party - she turned 70 and boy was she surprised :) -
We had a blast in Uruguay, visited the hot springs, the park a lot, hang out with new friends and visited Montevideo for a bit.
In the way back from Uruguay we stayed a couple of days in Daytona Beach Florida, it was a bit chilly but we loved it! Had a blast just by chasing the seagulls :) - back home we got a surprise too, we have now a trampolin - which Seby and I love
and jump constantly - and mami loves to see how tired we get from the 'play' :)
My speech is improving a lot,and FINALLY I'm potty trained :) (I still have a few accidents here and there but there are no more pull-ups in the house :) yeahhhh!!!!
1/22/08- well, I had the 3 year old check-up and yeap I'm way in the charts now ( 38 1/4 " 75%, 28lbs 20%) but still under 30 lbs, so now booster seat yet :( and I so want one like my brother.... he has cup-holders and all...
Potty training is being a bit of a challenge... I know what, how and when to do it, I just have to WANT to do it, cause when I'm busy why should I trouble with going to the bathroom? and if you know me, I'm always busy, I am always into something or another... oh yeah, and if I have nothing to do I'll go smack my brother and come tell that 'Seby hit me' so I can get him in
trouble :)
My attention span is still very short, too short for most of my needs, so we are 'working' on expanding it, but my mami says it's really really hard to do :) - She even thinks that I might
have a slight behavioral problem due to the short attention span... they are gonna keep an eye on that to see if I can 'grow out of it' :)
12/17/07- woww - lots to tell - mami needs to update this page soon :) meanwhile, check my life thru my picts in winkflash :)
10/15/07- We went to the Wichita Wildlife Refuge, Lawton, Ok this past weekend and the kids really enjoyed it! Fiona was not
a bit scared of the heights and was strongly trying to climb up rocks, vans, whatever she could :). She loved the prairie-dogs and even the buffaloes. She was taking it all in! and learning
new stuff along the way. She is slowly becoming more verbally social, such as introducing herself (before when she was asked her name she would say a thing, now she can tell you what her
name is and how old she is). Of course her guiding light is still her big brother Seby, they must be together all the time, otherwise they either get bored or they seem lost.... Fiona is a
dare-devil, afraid of nothing! and loves to taunt and push things to the limit :). Her vocabulary is progressing steady. At the end of the month, when she turns 3, she will be transferred
to the school system for her verbal therapy, so we are in the process of doing all the paperwork and arranging schedules etc - lots of meetings for mami! -. Both kids have started this semester the Head Start program here in Mannford, and they
both seem to be benefiting from it quite a bit, Fiona becoming more verbally social and Seby just becoming a little man! They have lots of pre-school type of activities, more than a daycare
would have, which seems very beneficial.
Fiona gets into these talking non-stop moods, and of course we don't pay much attention when she talks just for the fun of it, but one day I was paying attention and we heard this 'Fiona
no touch, Fiona no touch, don't touch, Fiona touch, Fiona toucheed itttt!' :) I guess she hears don't touch a bit :) hee hee, my little 'angel'
She is into purses, shoes (of course, this child LOVES shoes), and dressing 'pretty' (dresses, hair bows, skirts, they are all 'pretties'). She knows she needs her 'ears' to hear, and when she is not 'on' she will ask for her ears, and when they are not on or if they are not working properly she will let you know (of course is up to us to figure out what's wrong with them...).
Fiona is doing pretty good with the potty training, asking more and more to go 'pee-pee in toilet' and kinda of knowing when she has to do the other but not in the toilet yet. We are still
having trouble waking up dry, so she is still in pull-ups most of the day... so I don't foresee her being completely out of pull-ups by 3 like I was hoping....oh well, she'll get there eventually.
In september mami was gone for 2 weeks, and Fiona didn't seem to miss her so much as we all expected :( - but when mami got back Fiona didn't let her out of her sight for a minute!
No need to tell you that there are TONS of picts of our trip in the photo album, so go grab a cup of coffee and relax, look at us :)
