You Can't Compare the Two...

I have been asked if the two girls look alike often...and I never really compared the two in terms of looks...(everyone knows I have definitely compared the two personalities!!)
I am not sure really that they look alike at all...god knows their temperaments are very much different.
Here are some pictures on Daniella's 11 week birthday. I love her smiles and her "talking" now.

I think it is so cute when this little girls smiles her tongue often comes out..I caught it here!

Very intent in her rainforest bouncer on batting the animals...
Kisses from big sister...Every night we read "Welcome to the World Baby Sister". Always Marianna's pick and last night she woke up at midnight to get it off her bookshelf and sleep with it. (I was pretty angry that she was out of bed until I realized what she was doing and thought...Awwww...)

Here is Marianna's 2 Month pictures...I cannot believe how much hair she had!!

What do you think? Do you see any resemblence??

Daniella 2 Months, 2 Weeks

Some pictures of Daniella and her new lovey...

Sisters

Sisters...hanging out, watching Superwhy. Marianna thinks her sister is superfunny when she is doing nothing...

Daniella's First Jump

I was reading a week by week book today...in the "what to expect on the 11th week", it said your baby might be ready for a jumper....So I thought...Why not?!?!
We had a little fun today with the doorway jumperoo thanks to some extra blankets to prop Daniella up. I think she really enjoyed looking around the room at a new angle!!!

I am surprised she took her hands out of her mouth for a second for some pictures!

When Marianna got home from school, she got a kick of Daniella in the "swing"...and loved spinning her around!

Over the Holidays...Christmas Day at Nick and Michele's

A sled ride Christmas morning before heading over to Nick and Michele's....

Papou and Daniella

Yia Yia and Daniella
Marianna chasing Conn and Aiden around...and a rare picture of DJ and I...

Thea Demi and Daniella and Marianna

Thea Stephanie bought Marianna her prized Robot she was asking for all through Christmas. Thanks, Thea Stephanie!

Nick and Daniella
Nicky (not so little anymore...) and Marianna in their footie PJ's...too funny! Nicky is also a magician in Marianna's eyes..he is doing a magic trick that she couldn't get enough of!

Aiden, in the red, was Marianna's crush of the night. They are probably hiding from her here...

Snuggie Time

It's Snuggie time! I hate to admit that we have been fighting over this thing...
We will have to get Mommy and Marianna their own snuggies soon because DJ is upset we keep stealing his :)

Sledding, Hot Chocolate, and MSU

She's back on the horse! Marianna spent the morning outside in the snow and was back on the sled in our backyard...thankfully, having a great time. I think she is actually going outside in order to receive the hot chocolate and marshmallows that is now expected after being in the snow.
Here is how we do hot chocolate in the Becharas house: hot chocolate, marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles, and sometimes a dollop of ice cream! In this case, if that wasn't enough sugar...we added some s'mores in the mix!
Lucky Marianna (and mommy :)



Part one and two of the MSU fight song...since this taping...I think she has now perfected it and it is starting to become REALLY annoying!
(As of lately, she is requesting it be sung to her before nap and bed time).

Oh great...GO STATE!
