Suri Jean is 20 months old and a sassy little Daddy's girl! She has a full range of facial expressions from sticking her tongue out and making silly faces to screaming at the top of her lungs to a chin-quivering cry fest (pictured!). Even our neighbors comment on how expressive she is! If they only knew... Ha! She's been a great big sister - learning to be gentle and share her blankies (big deal!) and tries to give 'Sissy' her paci when she's crying. Also, Sissy is the very first one to get a kiss good-night! Suri's obsessed with Dora the Explorer and Spongebob Squarepants (unfortunately!). Every morning it's, "Do-do-do-do-do Dora!" or "Bob Bob," that we have to watch when she wakes up at 5:30 or 6 am! On a good day, it's 7 am, or on a rare (wishful) occasion 8 am. And of course the big news this past week was that she climbed out of her crib! and sadly broke her tibia, resulting in a trip to Children's ER and then having to get a cast! She's been quite the trooper, but she is a complete daredevil like her daddy, mixed with a bit of clumsiness from her mama! So after that horrible incident, we have now converted her crib into it's toddler bed feature and added a guard rail! Suri loves to talk on the phone, her favorite word is still "No," she always surprises us with new words she's learned, she has to have a blankie with her at all times, loves to play outside (and is kinda a bully), LOVES fruit, hardly ever lets Mommy put her to bed/nap - only wants Daddy, is a total cuddle bug when she's super tired, a total screamer when she doesn't get her way, and ultimately a total cutie that makes us laugh & fills our hearts with joy each and every day!
The many faces of Suri playing outside: happy, sad, deep in thought, silly, excited!

Seth has started classes now and I am home with the girls, and Seth's brother, Brock, moved in with us. Seth's schedule this semester is pretty nice, as he gets off by 10 am on MWF and then T/R he doesn't go in until noon. It gives us a lot more time together as a family (when Seth isn't busy training Brock at the gym) and is nice to have him home to help me with the girls, so I don't pull my hair out! Lol. Hoping for a great semester & lots more wonderful memories with our girls here in San Diego! Xoxo, Sc
