We're back from NY and the girls had an awesome time! Grammy got 2 new turtles that the girls named "Dora" and "Speedy." Pops treated the family to the movies (and, unfortunately, Joli caught him snoring towards the end!). After the movies, we visited Pops -- the original, Titi Ruth and Cousin Jennifer in Brooklyn. It was so good to see Pops again! Jada, unfortunately, was a grump, but she did warm up towards the end. On Sunday, we went to church and Jada decided to rip off her sweater and dance in front. Grammy then made the decision to bring the girls to the playroom!
Christmas outfits for NY - it was such nice weather!
Christmas morning at Lola's House. Joli and Mia pose so nicely.....
While Gavin and Jada's idea of "pose nicely" is acting wacky!
Jorge felt left out....
"Please, little cousins, smile pretty..." were our words just before taking the picture! Just think, next Christmas, we'll have Baby Talusan Vega (a girl??) and Baby Boy Matthews Talusan in the photo!!
Joli and Jada are really into dancing traditional Filipino dances. Here they are watching a video of a dance on tv while they wear their makeshift (aka Pillowcases) dresses.
On a different note, I just found out today that Jada used the potty all by herself! Meaning, she went into the bathroom, got her step stool, put up her own potty seat, peed, wiped, and then just called Jorge to help her get her pants back on! GO JADA!!! (which is great for us because that kid pees like 2x an hour!)
In baby news, here is picture I found online of what our baby most likely looks now.
I'm absolutely feeling baby kick and move around these days. S/he doesn't quite keep me up at night quite yet, but I do feel constant moving all day. I've been sleeping really well, only getting up once a night, and have been feeling so much better than the last few months. I don't seem to have as much back pain anymore, and my exhaustion has settled a bit. Everyone tells me they think I'm having a boy because my belly is poking straight out! We'll see!! I'm 6 1/2 months now, and we expect baby to show up sometime in late March!
