Life With L&M: L & M | 2 years plus 2

It has been two months since the girls turned two and I feel like it was a lifetime ago when we were sitting on the beach celebrating. So much has changed in such a short amount of time. A new home, a new school, new routines. A change that I welcome everyday and thank the Lord for.

Lily has been perfecting her "cheesy" smile. She loves to run around the house giggling and screaming. She is not as verbal as her sister, but she does her best to make it known when she wants something. She is such a sweetheart and loves to cuddle. This girl loves her downtime. She loves to just sit on the couch and watch her favorite shows, yet at the same time, she'll be outside in a heartbeat running circles around everyone. Lily hasn't been as picky with food as in the past. She's a little more adventurous when it comes to trying new things. She is still my little koala.

Mia, my dear Mia. This girl is the energizer bunny. She will go, go, go until she is literally strapped into her carseat or laid in bed with a bottle. She repeats anything and everything ( I really have to watch what I say around her). She is strong willed and definitely a go-getter. She takes what she wants, especially from her sister. But don't let Lily's size fool you. Those days of her just letting sissy take what she has is long gone. This little feisty one will put up a fight.

Their favorite movie at the moment is The Lion King. We play this movie almost every night per Mia's request while she has to do her breathing treatment. Her favorite song is "ha ta-ta" ( Hakuna Matata) and it is so adorable to hear.

I've been trying to instill some manners in these two girls and for a while, Mia would say, "No thank you." Then out of nowhere she started to respond with "no way." I would say, "Excuse me? You say no thank you." Her response, " No tank you, no way." Ha ha

I love seeing these two snuggle.
