Life is about food and bellies, right? Well it is here at our house! Our schedules are driven by when the girls want to eat. We have pretty set meal times as a result.
Grace's New Thing:
Meals or food used to be "yum-yum" at our house. Grace has changed them to be "mm-mm". If we get to "mm-mm", we know food better be showing up on the table soon or we end up with screaming, hungry girls.
Sophie's New Thing:
Sophie has discovered her first body part. If you ask her where her belly is, she will proudly lift up her shirt to show off her belly. When Grace sees Sophie showing off her belly, she instantly has to show hers. There are a lot of belly displaying moments around here all of a sudden.
Speaking of food and bellies, it is lunch time. I better go get some food together to fill up these little bellies.

Hugs and Sleepy Dogs
My Sophie Moment:
Sophie has learned to give hugs, thanks to Brian. If you hold our your arms she will snuggle into you for a nice big hug. It is one of the best things to get a Sophie hug.
My Grace Moment:
Grace has a pair of pajamas that have a little white Scottie dog on it. One more when I went to get her out of bed, she told me couldn't get up because "dog sleep". The other night when she got her same pajamas on, she told me it was "sleepy dog" and gave him a nice pet on the head. Ni-ni doggy ... (Ni-ni = night-night)
In other news, we have started to share our expecting news with more folks (my co-workers, friends, etc). I guess it is a good thing we are sharing because my belly is starting to share the news for us. The only reason we didn't have to share earlier on that note is that it is winter and sweaters are wonderful at hiding behind! I will have to try my best to remember this morning's tempature of 8 degrees when it is the middle of summer and too hot to breathe!

A beginning ...
I have wanted to start a blog for awhile but it is one of those things that keeps getting pushed aside. It is no wonder with a family, a full time job, a house, and ... well the list of excuses could go on and on. I realized the other night though I was missing out on capturing the small little moments that make up life (that is where this blog's title came from!) and was disappointed in myself for that. So here I am with the goal to capture and remember the small things in the life of my girls and little one we are expecting in August.
My Grace moment:
Grace is 2 years and 4.5 months. Right now, she loves to see the moon in the sky. She shouts "moon!" every time she sees it. She stood at the backdoor the other night saying "moon" over and over and over again as she pointed at it. She even convinced Sophie to come look at the moon. I asked her if she could say hi to the moon and in her sweet toddler voice she said, "hi moon!" As she sat with Brian in his chair right before bedtime, she saw the moon out the window and once again, but unprompted this time, said "hi moon!" It is amazing something so simple can bring a mother such joy but it is possible!
Flashback moment:
I showed Grace the moon for the first time this past fall when I was planting the pansies out front. It got dark but I wasn't done and was determined to finish. Grace was determined to stay outside with me. She stacked all of the empty pansy containers for me. I showed her the moon and her version of moon at the time was "oooo". So for months, "oooo" was moon to her as she would point at it with excitement that it was back in the sky for her to see.
My Sophie moment:
Sophie is 13 months old today. If you ask her to clap or if she hears clapping, she will now start clapping. This has made "The Clap-Clap Show" (i.e., Wheel of Fortune) very fun at our house again. She clapped through the whole show the other night. I smiled the whole show as she was in my lap clapping away. As of yesterday, she learned to say "apple". It still amazes me that she will carry around a whole apple eating at it with her four little teeth, well she is cutting two more as I type, and say "apple" at only 13 months old.
As times goes on, I hope to add little moments from day to day life here at our house. As I remember moments, I hope to capture those since my memory only seems to fade instead of getting stronger!
