New things
Jenny's new thing is when you say "Aye yi yi" she puts her hands on her face and shakes her head. It is kind of funny when she does it.
She has been trying out some new words. She says Da and Mama pretty well and her new word of the week is "Up". She doesn't say it on her own but she will repeat you.
Jenny is also walking like crazy - she tries to walk now before crawling anywhere - it is so weird to see that tiny little thing walking - she still looks 6 months old!
Nicky is standing on his own now. It is so cute...when he stands up we all yell YYYEEEAAAHH - but if we don't do it fast enough - he starts yelling "aaaaaaaaaa".
He is also doing this fake cry thing if you tell him no. I will say "Nicky - Nooo" and he looks at me, scrunches up his faces and just says "wah ah ah" - he says it - not cries it. What a drama king.
This morning when Joey and I were leaving we said "Bye Nicky" and he started crying and put his head on the ground - it was so sad - he sure loves his big brother.
Joey is as punky as ever. He went to the book fair the other day - I gave him a $20 check and he spent every last penny - and - get this - didn't buy one book! He bought some dumb dinosaur toy for 18 bucks!! He was so proud of himself. He said "Mommy, I went to the book store and didn't buy even ONE book!" Like it was a good thing!
He is starting to read and getting pretty good at recognizing his "sight" words - he has some trouble with some of them - he gets lazy - he will see an "S" word and then just start rambling off all the S words he knows. That is usually when we take a break.
He has "Blizzard Day" at school tomorrow - I don't really know what that means except that he has to wear winter "accessories" and they will be singing in the gym. I will try to take video if I get to go.
Then tomorrow night it is "Parents as Reading Partners". Both Joey and I have to go to the school in our pajamas and we read together - should be interesting.
Well, that is the latest. Talk to everyone soon.
Love,
Jenny

Baby Updates
I took the babies to the doctor yesterday.
Jenny is 16lbs 4 oz and 26 inches long - just eeking in the 3-5th percentile.
Nicky the bull is 19lbs 6 oz and 28 inches long. He is 25th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height.
New things:
Nicky:
The doctor finally gave Nicky antibiotics - he had fluid behind his ear - and today he managed to not have a runny nose for about 20 minutes straight - he is also breathing so much better - even Kelly noticed tonight.
Nicky has started standing on his own - he doesn't take steps yet - just does the fall forward and expects someone to catch him!
He gives hugs like crazy - if you say "Nicky aaawwwww" he puts his arms around you and squeezes tight!
I could have sworn he said "mine" the other day when he grabbed something out of Jenny's hand - but I was probably imagining it.
Nicky still needs a haircut....I am going to have to break down and do it....I guess once you can do this......
It is probably time to get it done.
I know...we are the meanest parents in the world!
Jenny:
Jenny is taking more and more steps every day. She is climbing on and off the couch like a pro.
The other day, I was brushing Nicky's hair - I put the brush down and she picked it up and started trying to brush her own hair - it was pretty cute and gave me a glimpse of things to come.
Jenny has been very affectionate lately. If you are sitting on the floor she will walk up behind you and put her head on your back.
She is also a little dancer - whenever she hears music or you sing she claps her hands and bounces up and down - too cute.
I got Jenny's hair in pigtails the other day. I didn't get a chance to take a picture with them in but I did take one of her after I took it out.......
I'm sorry but doesn't she look an awful lot like.....
I don't know, Maybe it is just me.
Joey:
Joey is doing really well in school. He is learning to read and it breaks my heart that he is getting so big....but I am so proud too.
He starts baseball in a few months and can't wait. He "practices" every few days.
Matthew has been over a few times in the past couple of weeks - so he has been happier than a pig in....well, you know!
Here they are just hanging out......
And here are the babies the same night.....
yeah - they are filled with food but they look cute!!! LOL
(The cushion was off Nicky's high chair b/c we Jenn had puke-fest 2006 the night before on it!
Well - that is the update. In case anyone is wondering.... We are waiting to celebrate the babies birthday until after Anthony gets home.....so if you don't get an invite around their birthday....don't be pissed - it is coming...probably the first or second week of March.
Have a good one!
