Happy Birthday Adelina!

Adelina turned 1! We didn't do much for her birthday... but she did have a litter treat after dinner.... Here is our little one year old eating a bowl of whipped cream! YUM!

Happy Birthday Adelina!

Bunnies for St. Patricks Day?

Happy St. Patrick's Day all! I hope no one got pinched because they forgot to wear GREEN!

Today Logan refused to wear his St. Patrick's Day shirt, saying "I don't like it!" And instead wore a lime green shirt with the number 5 on it... Silly kids thought today would be a great day to pretend to be bunnies. Bunnies on St. Patrick's Day? Here are a few cute pictures from their time as bunnies =)

But the cutest thing from today has to be when Adelina tried to bunny hop like her brother.... I've put a little video here of her bunny hops. Should bring a smile to your face =)

March....

So now it's March... Adelina turns 1 this month!!! Can you believe it? Seems like just yesterday that she was born... Yikes... that means that the new baby will born in like a month.



Anyways, Adelina has learned how to climb. I found her on the couch today. She had climbed on the box that holds her Little People and then onto the couch. While climbing is good, she is danger mouse and has no concept of the edge! Ugh!!! I found her standing on the arm of the chair looking at the fish in the fish tank!



Here is a picture of her next to her brother on his chest.... Yes she climbed it all by herself =)

And a little movie of them on the box. Logan is talking to Grandma Jean on the phone.....

Here is another cute video of Adelina walking....

That's it for now... I'm sure there will be more later this month =)

Update....

So, I am not the best blog queen around. It's mostly because I am busy with everything else I do...

So here is a brief update and some pictures.


Adelina now has two teeth... both bottom front ones =) They are very cute. And, just today, she started blowing kisses back to us. Last night she tried, but only succeeded in blowing them from her ears! She also has taken a liking to walking and walks around the house... she is so little still it's so cute to see her wobble from place to place. She still crawls, but mostly only to get somewhere quickly.

Adelina talking on the phone! Gee they start early!!!!

Good morning picture!

Logan has found his way into the world of art. In addition to his new obsession with letters and words, he loves to color and cut and paint and tape and glue and anything else that has to do with creating something. He loves it so much that I have to hide my computer paper from him because he uses it all up! While I love his creativity, he sometimes drives me crazy. Like the other day he decided to cut one corner from a piece of construction paper and glue it onto another piece of different colored construction paper. He then would cut the corner of that constuction paper and glue it onto the next piece of construction paper until his whole pile of construction paper had one piece of different colored construction paper on each piece of the pile... and then he was finished and I was left with a pile of construction paper with a lack of a corner and another piece of the construction paper glued to it which he wouldn't use again. I finally had to try to explain that paper comes from trees so we can't waste it... he doesn't quite understand this yet... but I'm working on it =)

Death, Spelling, and Baby Steps

It has been awhile since I've posted anything. Almost a whole month! But, not much had changed besides a few new smiles and baby that gets bigger by the day =)

Logan, however, has recently been obsessed with death. I'm not sure what sparked his interest in the topic, maybe it is the recent discovery that my Dad has Hep. C and will be taking some medication that will make him really sick. But anyway, Logan asked me when I was going to die. I explained that no one knows when they are going to die. I told him that some people die when they are young and some people die when they are old, but no one knows when they are going to die. So a few days later we are driving in the car, and Logan says, "Mom, I want you to die in August." I was shocked and asked him why. He replied, "Because then I will know when you are going to die and I will be sad".

Today, after dinner, Logan again brings up the subject of death. And asks if I am going to be sad when I die. I explained to him that we believe in heaven and that after we die we get to go there and live with Jesus. I also said that I wouldn't be sad because I wouldn't have anything to be sad about. I don't think he liked this answer, and keeps insisting that he will be sad when he dies, because he will want to "come back down" and because " I will miss my sister!"

Logan also is obsessed with letters. His favorite show right now is "Super Why". It's a cartoon on KPBS that teaches letters, sounds, and reading with cute little characters that turn into "super hero" readers and spellers. These characters usually have some problem they are trying to solve and they go into a book to learn how to solve the problem.... which they do by finding letters that answer the question to the problem. Throughout the show, different characters use letters, sounds, and words.... its a great show!

In addition to the show, he LOVES to play with the fridge letters... he spells, makes up his own words, and even tries to figure out which letter is which and what sound they make. Drives me a little crazy from time to time, but is great at the same time.

We just got a great book that Karelle recommened on teaching kids to read. Hopefully this will help further our little scholars reading abilities!

Adelina has exciting news too! On Sunday, January 26th, 2008, one day after she turned 10 months old, Adelina officially took her first steps! Since Sunday she has taken many more steps... growing a little more confident in her new ability... like today she walked all the way from the hall closet in out living room to thr couch... about 8 or 9 little baby steps.... and she made it all the way without falling down!

Logan & Adelina Christmas Pictures

Sorry about the quality of the video.... the pictures I have so far are only thumbnails =) But I thought it was fun anyways! Enjoy....

Sibiski Family 2007

2007 is at its end, but it has been an eventful year for the Sibiski Family. We started off the year with a trip to Hawaii… relaxing is the best way to start a new year, especially when you are seven months pregnant and ready to pop!

Adelina Mae was born on March 25, 2007 at 12:23pm, seven days after her due date! She was 8lbs 5 oz, 20 inches long with lots of dark hair.

Shortly after Adelina was born, we celebrated Steve’s 34th birthday! Wasn’t much of a celebration with the new baby in town. But I think he got the best birthday present ever!

In May, I graduated from California State University, San Marcos with my Master’s Degree in Psychology. Shortly after, I took a trip to Vancouver, B.C. with Adelina. The trip was great! Getting the passport? Not so great! Vancouver was beautiful, at least what I saw of it (and that wasn’t much). I also started a new job! I work as a Project Manger for a Research/Marketing Firm named “Action Research” and I love it! Research, research, research...

In June/July we were surprised to learn that our family would be expanding (again)! The new baby is due April 18th, 2008! We are going to be surprised by the sex of the baby… after all, we already have one of each!

I celebrated my 28th birthday in October. Wasn’t much of a celebration though, mostly watching football ALL day!

Logan turned 4 on the 23rd of October. He is growing up faster than I thought possible! He is such a blessing to us, although some of the time he is a big pain in the butt (or as we’d like to say… a “butthead”).

So, now it’s December and the holiday season is well underway! We are all doing great and hoping for a great 2008, just like our 2007!
