We said goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa Hollenbeck on Thursday and began the long trek home
We spent Thursday night with Miss Candy and Mr Thomas in Talahassee! It was great to see their new place and very hyper puppies. :) Miss Candy had Friday off so we stuck around a little while to play. The girls just loved her!!
On Saturday night we took the girls to my parent's house in East Texas and Darren and I headed to our first stop on the Matchbox Twenty tour in Longview, TX. I had no idea the seats were as amazing as they were. We were 6th row in a concert hall type theater. Needless to say the night was amazing!!!
Once we got home, Monday February 4th marked Juliet's first day of daycare! She is loving it and Parker is happy that sissy finally goes the same place she does!
Parker was super excited to start back at dance and gymnastics as well!
Overall it was an amazing trip, worked out really well and I'm so glad we did it! Looking forward to planning our next trip with the girls soon! Now to decide where to go next. :)
A couple fun things the girls were doing / started doing on the trip or since we got home:
Juliet learned to sit by herself about the time we left. She really improved while we were gone and now is pretty consistent with sitting up for long periods of time without falling over.
Parker has started asking questions!! It started with Where'd < insert person or thing here> go? She also loves babies and dolls and is simulating taking care of them.
Juliet can say "dada"! Well, it's more like babbling dadadadada, but it's still pretty cool! She also laughs all the time and loves to have her feet tickled.
Parker is officially off the pacifier!!!! It was amazing how easy it was. She cried and screamed for about 2 nights but after that she's asked for it twice maybe, but wasn't that upset when I said it was gone. It's been over a week now and she's doing great!!
Juliet is lunging forward like she's going to crawl, and standing up holding on to the couch. It won't be long before she's pulling up!!
Parker's memory and communication skills are improving! Last week we asked her about what everyone brought for show and tell at daycare, and she remembered most of them. One item she didn't remember the name of so she acted it out for us!! She also remembers several songs now and sings all the time. :)
Juliet has started solid food. Well not consistently yet, but she's had a few bites of sweet potato and banana. :)
Well, I guess that's it for now!! I'll leave you with their valentines picture and outtakes. :)
