hellloooo out there!!

I know, it's been awhile. I know you've missed us...all of us. Here's the short version:

Gabrielle is over 2 1/2 years old now. I can't believe how much she's grown. I was reading over the last couple of posts and I'm in awe with her all over again. She's sitting next to me, as usual and we are watching Nanny McPhee on tv. It's the third time I've watched this movie and we only DVR'd it last night. She loves "off" movies like that...in fact, we just got through her "Drop Dead Fred" and "Beetlejuice" phase. Her and I say quotes from those two movies and giggle. I love that I have a little partner that loves the things I love and we can share that. She still follows me everywhere even in the bathroom. If I leave the room, she screams for me through the house in a panic. It's very flattering and smothering all at the same time. We have names for each other too. She calls me Mommacita. Seriously. I call her little G and have my self a giggle every time.

Kenzie is so funny. We love to just listen to her talk now. She says just about everything we say and even some words that Gabrielle teaches her like, "Ca Ca." Mackenzie follows G into the bathroom and sits on the little potty while G does her business on the big potty. They talk and laugh. It's very cute. She follows G out saying she peepee'd and poopoo'd too. She loves her sister but also like time alone too. Right now while G is sitting practically on top of me, Kenz is in her playroom playing by herself. At first we felt bad that she was playing by herself, but everytime we would go in there to play with her she would leave out to go do her own thing. She likes and needs that alone time. She's such a happy and loveable child.
