Girls Update

I know what you are thinking....'girls update' your blogs are always about your girls.  What can I say.  

Cami will be four in about 3 month. I can't believe it.  She is so smart.  We have opted out of preschool thus far.  We have felt that she is well adjusted that she doesn't need the social part of preschool and I have been working with her on basic stuff as often and we can fit it it.  She recognizes every letter and can tell us the sound each letter makes.  She also can write every letter and numbers 1-10.  She also knows how to write her name, her sisters name, mine and Matt's from memory.  She love make believe play and has the greatest imagination.  We are always playing hotel, restaurant or family where she is the mommy.  She is also showing signs of athleticism.  Several times awake she does batting practice in the basement with dad.  She uses a plastic bat and he pitches a tennis ball to her.  She has been doing so great, so great in fact that we have had to change to a hollow plastic ball as we are afraid she was going to break something.  She recently started dance class (I'll post on that later). We read a lot, and go to the library about once every 10 days or so.  She is kind, very sweet and so tenderhearted.  She loves her sister and is a great big sister.

Reese is a pistol.  She is adventurous and fearless.  She thinks she can do everything her sister does.  She is a speed crawler and speed cruiser, but no walking yet.  She is 10 1/2 months old and still has no teeth, so that has been frustrating for her and exhausting for us.  Her fine motor skills are remarkable.  She can pick up and ball rolled to her and throw it back.  She gets into everything and we've already had to put up the baby gate up to keep her in one place (something we didn't have to do with Cami until closer to her 1st birthday).  She is an eating machine!  Matt and I are counting down the days until she can have cows milk because she is eating us out of house and home with all the formula she is going through.
