Happy Birthday Miguel!

Happy 32nd Birthday Miguel!
For his birthday, he asked his Mom to make him a good Mexican meal...mole (that e should have an accent) and no we did not eat a rodent for all of you who aren't familiar with this dish. It's actually a dark sauce that is typically put over chicken. It has a chocolate base and is very tedious to make. So much so, that I think his Mom has only made it once, maybe twice, our entire marriage. As you can tell, this was a special treat. She also brought all the fixins' to go along with it. Mexican rice, beans, and she even bought a trece leches Mexican birthday cake. Yum.Yum.
An update on the girls.
Miss Gabriela

She loves going to preschool, she likes for you to repeat after her, she's still obsessed with movies, especially Zorro and Little Einsteins. She likes to draw and practice writing letters. She loves to drink milk. She likes to dance and shake her bum. She all of a sudden has an opinion on what she wears and has informed me that some of her clothes make her look crazy. She helps look after Julianne and she professes to be Mami's best friend in the whole world.

Miss Sophia

Sophia is my little helper. She likes to ride on the vacuum when ever I use it. She'll throw a huge tantrum if I don't let her do it. If she sees you sweeping she runs to get the dust pan. She helps me load the washer and dryer. She is extremely obsessive compulsive. She notices every little detail. She'll scream at you if the baby has the slightest bit of something on her face until you clean it off. She likes to eat, but you would never know it by her size. She's into wearing mine and Gabriela's shoes around the house. She has a thing for the Little Einsteins too. She likes to float on her back in the bathtub, it's actually quite amusing to watch. She's pretty good at signing too.

Miss Julianne
Julianne is 5 months old now. Lately she has been the thorn in my side. She only likes to be on my hip. She crys when I nurse her, she cries when I set her down, she cries about everything. She's been waking up several times during the night. I would let her cry, but she sleeps in the room above the girls and I'm afraid she's going to wake them up. She does like to suck on fabric, like in the picture above. She thinks playing open and shut with her little legs is funny. She can almost roll over onto her belly. She's liking her dad more and more every day.

Lindsay, just a thought.... Juliane might have an ear infection. One of best signs for babies is crying when eating (b/c it hurts their ear) and waking up crying, or crying after they've just had a nap. The thought just came to mind while I was reading your update. You of course would know better. :)
