Such talkers

I'm so excited to be able to really communicate with my girls! :)  They are all slowly starting to pick up saying a few words.  Hailey will be the first as she is the most chatty. :)  They all say 'Ba' now for Ball.  They all say "mama" and "dada."  Hailey says "PuhPuh" for "Pepper" (Grandpa and Grandma Dooyema's dog) :)  She also says "Nigh Nigh" for bedtime and "Nigh Nigh" mixed with tears for her nukie. :)  And today, Hailey started saying "aarrr" for "car!"  I'm amazed at how much they understand.  Now it's just waiting for them to start trying to speak all that they can understand!  So exciting! I can't wait! The other day, I heard a lot of commotion in the playroom...so I walk over very quietly...and this is what I see.  ALL of them sitting with their OWN book, reading out loud to each other.  So cute! :)  

The girls are also now fully able to go up and down the stairs which makes for an exciting day. :)  Other than that, we are doing well.  Tomorrow we go into the eye doctor to see how their eyes are progressing after being in the NICU.  

Uncle Shane has scheduled his surgery for Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 7 a.m. to get a mechanical valve put in.  We would all appreciate your prayers for Shane and Jody!  Thanks so much!
