YuYu

Lulu cannot say her S's or L's so she calls Cyra "why why" and herself "you you."

She will not wear anything but a Dwesh (dress)--even when it's freezing outside. I have to put pants on her using force.



She takes a magazine into the bathroom. She always says she has poops, but doesn't often go in the toilet. I think she just likes the attention and the relaxation time.





She's really into growling at people. She puts out both hands in claw formation and growls (but with a smile on her face). She does this to strangers and friends alike.



She has awesome hair.



She's always game for whatever Cyra wants to do with her.



Sometimes, she will just come up to you, grab your face like she's doing above and loudly whisper things to you intensely. Not smiling. Like she wants you to know this one thing before it's too late. You cannot look away or turn your head.



She tried to do this to a few toddlers at music class and they were rightly freaked out.

Summer misc.



Dan and Sunny came to visit.





She's fine.







At Popover Cafe.



Lulu always does this. Who needs a playground when you have scaffolding?





Straining now.



Cyra's first day at school. I think her face says it all.



In the Heights with Alicia and Ciera. We had great seats and it was a fun show.

Lucia turns 2!



This is her first cake. My mom brought it down.







She had a really hard time blowing out that candle. Cyra had to exercise a lot of self-control not to blow it out.



Maybe it's in the cheeks.



Maybe if I get really close to it.



Then she got a Dora doll and she brushed her hair.



And fed her some strawberries.

Then...on her actual birthday (Sept 24th), we got them cupcakes, which they were really excited about.





Again, concentrating really hard.



And blowing her bangs out of her face.



Then, they started eating the cupcakes....



Until they pushed them away and decided they wanted eggs instead.



So I fed them eggs and threw away the cupcakes.

And then the Birthday Party with Harper.



Remember last year?



Let's see if you can guess which is the cake I made and which is the one Sunny made and who loves their kid the most:







Look at poor Adelaide in the corner who is the third musketeer, but who just happened to be born a few months later.



And that pink cake is the other perfect cake that Sunny made for Harper.



Lulu still having a hard time with the blowing of candles.



Harper clearly cannot understand this. (She just needs to look at the cakes again to remind herself that she clearly scored with the superior genes.)



Their adoring fans.



Lulu: "Hey, why don't you try some of this? Maybe you would consider a trade?"



Harper: "Listen, why don't you just stick with that and let me know how it tastes. Ok?"





After everyone left, we were just hanging out in the living room talking with Sunny and Marc and we noticed that the kids were moving toys around. When we finally got around to cleaning up, this was the scene:
