Happy Birthday Babies.. err, uh... Toddlers!

Today is Abby and Jimmy second birthday! I can't believe it... Two amazing years have passed already; it is quite shocking how fast this year went!

Abby is quite the little character- so loving,sensitive, smart and caring. I think she may be a tad dramatic as well... Hmm, where does she get that from?!

Jimmy is a fun little guy- smart, spirited and charming. His laugh is contagious and smile is heartwarming. He loves to snuggle and cuddle, when he finally settles down!

Abby and Jimmy really do love each other, and it's easy to see! First thing Jimmy says in the morning is usually 'Abby' and always wonders where she is if he doesn't see her right away. And Abby will always try to cheer Jimmy up when he is sad and crying. She'll bring him a tissue or his favorite stuffed animal (monkey) to try to make him feel better - it is so sweet!

I am kind of sad that my itty bitty babies are gone but am so happy to watch them grow and learn and turn into the amazing people they will become! I cannot wait to see Abby and Jimmy as a big sister and big brother- I know they will be awesome in those roles!

Even though the challenges and struggles of having two to raise at once are sometimes overwhelming and quite exhausting, I wouldn't have it any other way! These two light up my life and make me smile everyday.

Happy Birthday Abby and Jimmy - we love you!

Wiggles Love

Abby and Jimmy are in love with The Wiggles.  One day while watching the Sprout channel, a little ten minute Wiggles show came on - and they loved it.  It was the episode with the waltz that sparked their interest.

Ever since they first saw that episode, they have been asking to watch the wiggles fairly often - pretty much anytime we let them watch any TV, it is a Wiggles episode.  So now, their favorite Wiggles song is Hot Potato.  I am sure I have it completely memorized, both the words and the dance moves because we watch it all.the.time!  So here are the Wiggles doing Hot Potato:

And here are Abby and Jimmy's interpretation of it:  :-)  I love love love when they do the cold spaghetti move!  I haven't been able to get them on video going all out with the dance moves; so far, this is the best I have been able to record!

(Video is very quiet - hard to hear the song, so if you turn up your volume, make sure to turn it back down before the next video!)

So for a fun suprise, we decided to take Abby and Jimmy to the Wiggles farewell tour.  Luckily, we were able to get tickets and we all had a great time!  My mom came to help with A&J and Michelle and Allie came along too .  Allie is also a fan and loves to sing the songs all day so that Michelle has them stuck in her head all.day!

Here's a little clip of Abby and Jimmy (and Allie) at the Wiggles concert - they were completely star struck! 

(Video is very loud - make sure your speakers are low)

And you know what was awesome too?? Jimmy was able to meet the yellow Wiggle (Greg).  He was in awe!

Guess I am...

...looking pregnant now and not just like I've had too many donuts for breakfast!  Here I am at 21 weeks:
