This little girl is definitely Eric's daughter - we have similar pictures of him doing the exact same thing. (I should scan them in and compare the two.) We are regularly picking up the books off this shelf, the 2nd one is her favorite. What a kid!

Just like her Daddy!

Ok I'm Back
Allright - I'm so sorry for all you regular blog checkers...our internet had been down and I've actually been playing with the girls rather than making them stay out of my hair while I do something for me. (Don't worry I still do that but its just been different stuff, don't ask me what but stuff never the less.)
Cora turned 1 year old yesterday and we'll get stuff up shortly but we aren't doing the cake until Saturday, so we'll get plenty of messy pictures then for you all to see when I get them up. :)

"Daddy Gone"
Because of a long night Jodi wound up sleeping in mommy's spot on our bed, thus allowing for the following story. This morning as I was working on the computre I heard Jodi wake up. She usually wakes up happy and peppy but she woke up crying. I naturally went in to be motherly and see what was wrong and when I got into the room she was sitting on my bed crying, "Daddy gone, Daddy gone!" (Lucky for her she woke up early enough to go say hello and have oatmeal with Daddy before he left for work.) She sure does love her Daddy!

Kiddie Update
1. Cora can stand up on her own now and took 1 step yesterday - a whole new world!
2. Jodi is going through the naked phase of all naked phases but at least she is potty trained now! wahoo!
3. Jodi has a few favorite things - Cinderella, yogurt, dancing, Backyardigans, singing, painted fingernails, and bossing us all around.
4. Cora's list is a little different but she loves getting out of her high chair, the computer keyboard, peas and carrots, the word "uh oh" and mommy mommy mommy.
