Picture Post

Already one of us...She's watching the Wiggles with her big brother. She seems to love them too. What is it about them that makes them so enjoyable?



Moke Moke napping in the vibrating chair. The cats love her home. They think all her toys were put there to make a cat playground.


Toby putting on his Toodle ears. On sale for $3, what a steal!


Everything that is Liliana's is Toby's including this chair and her food. Regression is hysterical some times.


This picture is out of order, but it's Daddy's first morning with both kids. A forever family.


This child is fascinated with the underside of tables.




Sultan resting on the playmat.


Mommy do you think Toby will mind if I play with his guitar.


Sultan thought that Liliana was a nice place to take a nap.



Laughing


Notice the rubber band? Uncle David was teaching him how to flick people with it. This is his evil laugh.

Mommy, Look! Alicia! My son has his first crush. It's on Alicia, Diego's sister. Lord help me.

The other day at the Doctor, Liliana was diagnosed with Ankyloglossia or Tongue Tie. I have always wondered why her tongue is out in pictures and is heart shaped not pointy at the end or why it is always in the way when feeding her. The doctor isn't concerned at the moment because it is not affecting her eating (I have found a way around it and changed my ususal feeding methods). Here's the definition of Tongue Tie: Ankyloglossia, commonly known as tongue tie, is a congenital oral anomaly which may decrease mobility of the tongue tip and is caused by an unusually short, thick lingual frenulum, a membrane connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. Ankyloglossia varies in degree of severity from mild cases characterized by mucous membrane bands to complete ankyloglossia whereby the tongue is tethered to the floor of the mouth. Ankyloglossia can affect feeding, speech and oral hygiene. If this would cause major problems for her, there is a corrective surgery. She is doing great overall and this by no means defines her.

I hope these pictures will tide you over for a few days. It is going to be pretty hectic until Sunday. If I can post before then I will otherwise....I'll see you Sunday. Lots of Love!

Oh goodness! I almost forgot, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!!!! Blogger buddy and fellow Guatmommy Supreme!

Great pics!!! So glad to see your family together forever. Brayden, too, has claimed (or reclaimed) all of Layna's toys. I think Brayden spends more time in the exersaucer and walker than Layna does! Enjoy your family and congratulations!

How wonderful to see your family complete at last. And ditto on the "don't worry" - Ask mom, but I think either one of our cousins or uncles had that - they fixed it easily. Thinking of you all - love you!
