Dear Sophia,

Today Lilly and I had so much fun trying on all of her outfits. It was just like a fashion show! Lilly told me that her very first dress from Chimi & Changa is the most comfortable but she likes having lots of other options, too. (Mama says she will write under each photo where the outfit came from. That is just in case we have fans who like shopping for doll clothes)

 Cape and Headband from Ikea, princess tee from Build-a-bear, mama-made jeans, old baby socks

Mama-made fleece dress from an Old Navy scarf

 Build-a-Bear kitty tee and skirt, mama-made crocheted booties

 Polly & Friends black and white dress

 Dolly & Me purple nightgown, mama-made purple booties

 Petsmart fairy wings, mama-made pink & purple paisley pillowcase dress, Chimi & Changa tutu

 Mama-made blue floral pillowcase dress and mama-made crocheted booties

Polly & Friends pink polka dot dress with red mama-made shrug

I love it when Lilly and I match so Mama said she can make us some more pillowcase dresses and maybe we can order more matching dresses from Chimi & Changa before the summer is here. Yay!!! 

Having fashion shows is so much fun and Mama said next week we can have a spa day....I can't wait!

XOXOXO,

Scarlet

Dear Scarlet & Sophia

I am so glad that you both brought Leesia and Lilly with us to the store. I know that one day you will be very good mammies because you are very good at taking care of your babies. I saw you girls looking at the trampoline and swimming pools. I know you can't wait for summer and I feel the same way!


Grocery List:

Thank you for all your help today. I am very proud of how responsible you both are!

Leesia's New Years Resolutions

It has been a busy year, what with being born and meeting Sophia for the first time and everything. I saw that Scarlet and Sophia's Mama is making a New Year's Resolution list. I asked Lilly what that was and she said it was something grown-ups write down so they will remember what to be guilty about later in the year. It sounded kind of silly to me, but I want to follow all the proper traditions to ring in the New Year. So for 2011, here are my Resolutions:

1. Get more exercise. I spend far too much time letting Sophia pull me around on that little cart. I don't want all this nice cotton and wool to turn to flab, after all.

2. Keep our "house" tidy. Lilly and I can create quite a mess for such small dolls. Honestly, the laundry alone can be quite a challenge. So this year, I really want to keep up with the chores.

3. Get more Rest. I spend a lot of time in the cradle, that's true. But I'm not sure my sleep schedule has really been adequate over the last few weeks, what with the holidays and all. It's too tempting to catch a cat nap in the car seat, but I always wake up with such a crick in my neck. This year, I'll improve my sleeping habits!

4. Take more photos. Scarlet and Sophia got these great little cameras and I am sure that Lilly and I can borrow them while they aren't looking. In fact, they hardly ever notice what we do while they are asleep. We have so much fun and always forget to take photos of our escapades, so this year I hope to do better!

Happy New Year to all and best wishes for a wonderful 2011!

Dear Sophia,

Well, Christmas is finally over! Mama says that we will put away the Christmas tree this week. I'll miss it, but she says we have so many new toys that we hardly have room to play. It's fun to match Lilly with our new purple nightgowns. I was very surprised when I opened the package. And Lilly loves her gifts, too, especially the pillow and the bead maze. We got lots of other fun gifts, too. My favorite ones were the pretend makeup and the blocks. I bet we can built a whole castle for Lilly and Leesia if we are very careful not to let it fall.

I can't believe it snowed this week! Leesia and Lilly had never seen snow before so they were really surprised! All this fun has made Lilly tired, so I let put her to bed early last night. Next week will be a busy one as we do some New Year's cleaning.

XOXOXO,

Scarlet
