March...

We had a lot of fun activities in March! A couple weeks ago, Emily had a costume party. It was fun! Josh and I were Popeye and Olive Oil and the girls were Thing 1 and Thing 2. Then of course, Sunday was Easter. I was in the toddler class Sunday morning, so I got to see all the kids in their Easter outfits! The girls had a lot of fun hunting for Easter eggs. They actually got to do it twice...once at church and once at home! Then we colored eggs and they had fun with that!
Today is Riley's 2nd birthday. That is just crazy to me. I can't believe she is 2. For some reason, since she has just hit 2, I feel more like a mom. I know, it is weird, but it is true. Of course, today I am thinking a lot about 2 years ago today and how I was in labor with her and freaked out of my mind to be a mom and not knowing what I was doing and all that. It is just CRAZY! We are going to have a dinner tonight and let her open a few gifts. We are having a duel bday party for the girls next weekend (on Aydia's 1st bday) so Riley is going to do most of her celebrating and gift opening that day, but I wanted to do something on her actual bday for her! She has NO idea what a birthday is. We keep telling her it is her birthday today and that she is 2 years old and she just keeps saying, "No, it's not my birthday." So funny...she just has no idea...I am sure once we give her presents to open she will want it to be her bday everyday!
Riley is becoming more and more funny every day. Yesterday, she was banging on the bathroom door when Josh was in the shower and she said, "Open the door, I demand it!" I started cracking up and asked her where she heard that and she said from the princess movie (Cinderella...her favorite!). Today, I found her watching a movie holding her diaper in her hand that she had taken off...she was just bare bottomed standing there with her diaper in her hand...I just hope she doesn't do this when there is poop in it!
Aydia took her first steps on Saturday night. She only took a couple, but she won't do it again...she is such a cautious child. I am so ready for her to walk. She is so heavy and it is getting to be a pain to carry her everywhere! She seems to be learning faster than Riley was at this age. Aydia tries to repeat everything you say and is learning new words and stuff everyday. All of the sudden, she is becoming a child and not a baby. She understands simple instructions and tries to communicate things that she wants instead of screaming and hoping you can figure it out! My babies are growing up.
Well, here are some pictures of our month!
