After an hour of laying in your bed singing to the top of your lungs I went in your room and questioned what you were doing.
Mom: Why have you thrown everything off of your bed?
Bibby: Because I was so frustrated!
Are we sure you are 2 years old???

Sisters
I snapped this pic after our stroller ride yesterday. I think it is priceless. Bibby, you have not shown one minute of jealousy towards your sister. I am so proud of you and so taken back by your love for Virginia. I hope that never changes. I know that there is no greater blessing than that of sisters and I pray that you two are as close as I am with mine.
On a roll...
Before
After Virginia, You rolled over for the first time tonight. Bibby was just getting ready to do a demonstration for you when you leaned that noggin over and went for it. Your dad and I told Bibby what a great job she did coaching you, but really you did it all on your own!

A few firsts....
Virginia,You had cereal tonight for the first time. I know, I know, you aren't 4 months old yet but I felt like you were ready. Of course I waited until the exact day your sister turned 4 months old but I guess that's just what happens with the second child. Anyway, you loved it. I have never seen you so animated. You talked and kicked for almost an hour afterwards you were so excited.
For the first time today you fed Virginia an entire bottle all by yourself. Well, mainly by yourself. I would reach in and hold it when you became entranced with the TV. You were so proud of yourself and I was so proud of you as well. The sweetest part is with your other hand you softly stroked Virginia's hair. You adore her and tell her all of the time, "I'm so glad you came out of mommy's tummy."
Bibby,
You came walking in to the den with your hands in your pockets like you owned the world. We have talked about pockets before and put things in them but for the first time you had a sense of self-confidence about you; strutting in so proud of yourself for using your pockets. Then you added the sunglasses to make the ultimate "cool" outfit. You use the word "cool" all of the time and it is always in the correct context. Cracks me up.

Virginia,
You are 3 months old!!! I can't believe the time has gone by so fast. I want you to stay my baby forever. You are truly God's gift to me. You have not been one minute of trouble. You give the biggest grin when anyone speaks to you and even when surrounded by big sister's princess dolls you are content. I love you so much and consider you my little treasure.

I have decided to start this more as a journal to my children than entertainment for others. I guess it may serve a dual purpose.
Girls,
Today was one for the record books. As I was telling Shimmy about my day she commented that the events of this day were reason enough for me to start a blog. You see, most of your friend's moms have already started blogs but here you are, Mary Bibb, 2 years and 8 months and Virginia, 3 months and I am just now starting.
I thought a time line would work because there is not enough room in my hard drive to actually write out all of my thoughts or events that happened.
6:00am Bibby calling for me from her room with her "sick voice"
9:00am Standing in the doctor's office nursing Virginia while trying to keep Bibby on the exam table. Bibby screaming hysterically as they stick the swab up your nose for a flu test (can't say that I blame you). I borrow the Lysol on the counter in the exam room and spray down Virginia's car seat after the doctor says Bibby has 101 and is extremely contagious.
10:15 Go to the Dollar General for a "prize" and something that I can mix medicine with since the pharmacist says no dairy an hour before or after taking the antibiotic and I usually can get you to take meds with mint chocolate chip. So, while holding Bibby crying and pushing the cart with Virginia in it we make it out with 2 princess balls, a princess stool, some paint, a book about weddings (because we are so excited about being Mer-mer's "flower princess") and some giant Pixie Stix (to mix with the meds) we are on our way home.
11:30-2:00 lots of crying and snot wiping
2:00 Both girls finally calm down when tornado sirens start blaring. I wait on waking them up until I know for sure we may be in danger, meanwhile loading the bathtub with pillows and blankets.
2:15 The second siren sounds; I grab a sleeping Virginia up and then snatch Bibby out of our bed and run down the hall with a kid in each arm. At this point everyone is cracking up again. After I sing 3 rounds of "This is the day that the Lord has made," everyone begins to calm down. The storm passes with no danger at all and now I have two screaming children that don't like getting out of the tub.
4:15 I get a call from a detective notifying me that my car (which was stolen out of our driveway a week ago has been found). We live in a nice neighborhood, I swear. Anyway, a friend of ours had been out doing an appraisal on a foreclosure home found it abandoned in the yard. Sure enough, there she was, minus the DVD player and XM radio and completely soaked from the torrential storms. The crooks had rolled the windows down to hide the sticker the Decatur Police Department put on the window April 4th, the day the car was stolen,to notify the driver that if the vehicle wasn't moved then it would be towed. Too bad the driver at the time was a crook!!! Way to go DPD.
6:30 Things are finally calming down. Bibby is running around in her Christmas princess PJ's that I had to dig out of the storage building because they are her "sick jammies" and Virginia is swinging in the swing. John and I are sitting and reflecting on how insanely crazy our day has been when it sounded like a gunshot went off in our back yard and we are now sitting in the dark. A transformer blew. We finished our dinner by candlelight!
9:45 After baths we are finally all going to bed!!! Surely tomorrow will be easier.......right???
I don't want to sound like I am complaining. I had several very precious moments today.
Bibby let me rock her for a long time she felt so miserable. I haven't gotten to do that in forever. My sweet Virginia gave me the most precious smiles all day that were so encouraging.
