So Big!

New chair
 We didn't approve it, but the girls continue their quest to grow up. They are getting so big!

This morning, the girls (mostly Fiona) helped me turn over Q's dresser drawer. A couple weeks ago, it was officially time for Quinn to graduate to 18 month clothes (you know, since she is 16 months tomorrow ... the fact that I got an extra 4 months out the 12 month clothes is awesome!). But that bin was in the rafters of the garage. And it's been awfully cold! So to push her procrastinating parents, Q hit the mother of growth spurts! And those 12 month pants have become capris ... and a lot of leg was showing. We celebrated today by wearing pants that were long enough AND a shirt with sleeves long enough.

Disney!
Mike was out running errands while the girls and I updated the wardrobe options. He came home with a new booster chair for Q - because she wants nothing more than to sit at the table like the rest of us. And the bitty tray on her existing one was a bummer for plate size and art projects. She's totally in love with her new seat and is glad that her daddy finally overruled her cheap mommy and just bought the chair!

After nap today, we took both girls to Disney on Ice. We had few expectations and figured we'd just see how it went. They both loved it (although, like the hockey game, Fiona thought it was too loud) and did really well. Quinn got squirrelly a couple times, but she made it. Fiona was completely entranced the entire time. She was really nervous, but also super excited. When she got to clap to help save Tinkerbell, it was magical. And her grin at the end of the show was worth all the slow traffic that we had to deal with on the way home.
