Unfortunately, they got sick again as soon as they went off their antibiotics last week. We took them back to the doctor on Monday, but our regular pediatrician was out of town. We saw a different nurse practitioner who recommended that we work on managing the girls' asthma and allergies rather than just treating the symptoms with antibiotics when things get out of control. We were so thankful for a fresh perspective, and we are very hopeful that we can manage their asthma and allergies with the new meds.
Emerson weighs 27 lbs! She is starting to get bossy too! Last week she wanted something that was in another room and she said, "I want daddy to get it!" She is definitely the first born! It seems like she never stops talking. She is becoming very observant. While eating breakfast a few days ago she looked outside and yelled, "It's snowing!" She also says that Rambo is a "snowman" when he goes outside to go potty. She is always trying to make us laugh.
Stella weighs 26 lbs! She is also talking non-stop! Stella is mastering potty training, and can stay dry most days. She is very proud of her Elmo panties! Stella loves to have her hair blown dry after bath time and loves to pose in the mirror too! She is very proud of her new haircut. Stella's favorite activity (right now) is coloring. She even holds her crayons between her thumb and forefinger like a big girl!
The girls got several Valentine's Day cards in the mail, and they loved playing with them all! Their favorite cards were from Mister (Aunt Karen & Uncle Larry's dog). It had a picture of Mister on the front of the card, and the girls carried them around talking about "Bubby" all afternoon! Thanks everyone for the cards! I tried to get a picture of them holding all of their cards, but they were being stinkers.
Grandma Judy was able to get a few pictures of the girls at their school Valentine's day party. Stella does not look very happy in this picture. I imagine that she didn't want to stop playing and sit down for pictures!
More school. Emerson's 2 year molars are finally coming in. She constantly has her hands in her mouth. 
The next two pictures are of Stella posing in front of the mirror while I am blow drying her hair.
She is such a poser!
The girls have been trying to pray with me before meals, but they won't do it when anyone else is around. Tonight I decided to record it. This isn't the best that they can do, but it is adorable.
