love my kiddos

of course, ani is just remarkable. been eating table food voraciously, sitting up OK (though watch out for a face plant occasionally), sleeping like an angel. and now, crawling. sure, she's been rolling around like a log, doing a fabulous chameleon. but now there's a distinct forward movement via army crawl happening and we are officially the proud parents of a mobile baby. woo hoo! nissa is not without her remarkableness too. the other day we had disney channel on and mickey mouse clubhouse came on. like every episode, this one started with mickey asking the "audience" if you'd like to come in to the clubhouse. i always watch nissa when shows do this (we don't watch shows like this often, adam and i find it awkward and dumb) and this time she shook her said and said uh-uh. i just about laughed out loud and could not share this with adam fast enough. that's right, nissa. don't let the tv tell YOU what to do! this morning, like many mornings lately, in the wee hours nissa gets up to go pee and insists that she cannot go back to sleep in her own bed. adam caves and lets her in (grumble, grumble, i have to get up in 40 minutes). while she's laying between us, she reaches out and pokes me in the eye. then she says, "i love you, mommy and daddy." awww. you're lucky, kid, cuz had you not said that, i was tempted to throw you out of bed. love you too, nissa.
