Don't forget this moment.

Kylie cracks me up all the time now that she's talking so much! I really need to start updating this blog more often, just so that I can remember all the things she says. It's amazing how quickly you forget.

I remember Ryan's Aunt Michelle told me once that I should get the girls on video as often as possible. At the time, we only had Kylie. I thought, ya, we should. But didn't give it too much thought. With all the recent changes (Kylie in her big girl bed, being potty trained, Allie cruising, standing on her own and attempting to take steps, etc..) I'm suddenly getting this feeling of: slow down! slow down! ... and... where's the camera because a week from now, they'll have changed again and my memory can't keep every little piece of perfect that I see from them every day!

So I'm trying to record them more. I'll post more videos when I can. Our cameras record in HD, which takes ages to upload to YouTube! What I really need to do is transfer them to DVDs and store them somewhere safe so that we won't lose them!

Now here I am, trying so hard to remember all the cute things Kylie said, and funny things the girls did over the last couple weeks, since the last time I posted. I know there were so many times over the past week or so that I thought to myself "Don't forget this moment!" And yet by the time I got the girls out of the car, or settled down to call Ryan to tell him, I'd already forgotten.

So here's what I can remember... Daddy's Purse:
Ryan came in carrying his tool bag. Kylie said "Daddy's purse!" Ryan looked at her and seemed slightly irked by this comment "No Kylie, Daddy doesn't have a purse. It's my tool bag." But of course Kylie insisted it was a PURSE. So next time you see Ryan, feel free to ask him where his man-purse is ;)

Dadadadada:
Cutest conversation between the girls thus far ;)

Allie: "dadadadadadada".
Kylie: "No, Allie. Daddy's at work."
Kylie: "Mommy, where's Dada?"
I tell her he's at work and she runs back to Allie, who is still saying "dadadadadadada", and shouts "Uh oh!! No Allie. Daddy's at work! No Dada!" LOL

My favorite part of every day:
Is probably when the girls are interacting (positively! ;) Allie, always happy and smiling, loves her big sister and always follows her around and wants to do the same things. Kylie doesn't always love this. 

But there are moments where they sit there together and are doing nothing but giggling at each other. And you can see the love between them, and the bond that they share. And to me, it's like the whole world melts away and my two beautiful girls are suddenly the only thing around, like in a bubble. And for a moment, I watch them just giggling together and I think how absolutely lucky I am. How much I love them. How wonderful they are. How you really don't know how deeply you can love until you experience it in this way. And how Ryan and I must be the luckiest parents in the world :)

And then Kylie usually hits Alexandra, and the moment is over; back to reality ;) LOL. But still so very lucky :)

Perfect example of this:

Ok.. enough of the sap. I'm off to find my camera and upload some pictures to post soon! ;)
