Again...I apologize for such a delay in between postings. We as usual have been super busy. We had another trip to Fort Worth to celebrate all of the birthdays in my family, a couple of birthday parties to attend, I co-hosted a baby shower, and still been dealing with either sick kiddos or a sick mommy. Our trip to Fort Worth was wonderful and we had a great time as always, unfortunately it was cut short because Frankie had to get back for work. But we always looking forward to a return trip for a longer visit. We then were all hit with a round of colds here at the house, so we all stuck close to him for a bit until we all were healthy again. The biggest thing that has been going on is a situation at Bella's school. Unfortunately Bella has been acting out in Ballet class, which we have to attribute to some of the roughness she has been experiencing and observing at school. Frankie and I both have gone round and round on how to address the situation. We as parents understand that no matter where she goes, she will see some sort of "naughty" behavior, we just don't think it would be as extreme as it is now. After some additional conferences, we hope to have a decision by the end of the month.
Both of the children are doing wonderful and thriving. Bella's vocabulary and memory still amaze me every day. Our biggest hurdle we are working on is colors, she hasn't been able to pick them up except for Blue, Red, and Pink. So we are constantly working on those, but her counting and alphabet is coming along nicely. We also got her a sing along DVD for Valentine's Day, and she LOVES IT. We are blessed to hear many Disney Princess songs over and over again ;-) Each day she falls more in love with her brother, and they now love to play peek a boo and tent together. Little man is doing great, lungs look great (though we are still on two breathing treatments a day) and of course we continue to work on weight gain. He is eating three times a day with one snack, I think he will be completely weaned off of baby food by the first of March. He already is eating sliced carrots, squash, zucchini, pears, and bananas. He ABSOLUTELY prefers to feed himself. He is still crawling, cruising, and getting into everything. I'm still personally amazed on how different boys and girls are. Bella was never as active and into everything as Frankie is, and she never put EVERYTHING in her mouth as he does. The smallest speck on the floor goes into the mouth. AHHHH !!! He is the sweetest boy, and has a constant smile on his face. I do have to add that he LOVES bath time and is known to do full rollovers while taking a bath with his sister.
I'm doing great and hoping to dive more into sewing soon. I've been busy with taking care of the kiddos and working out. So that leaves little time for anything else, but the kiddos and I are having a great time !!! The Trifilio's are on the go as usual...and will continue to keep you posted on all the craziness !!
