Yeah YaYa is here!

YaYa Tina arrived this evening. We are looking forward to the next ten days of walks, playing, "walking Amelia" and fun trips. At first Amelia was a little stand offish when she first saw YaYa, but then she kicked in. She wanted me to put her down to walk. She reached back behind her and wanted YaYa's hand. It melted my heart. Then she was off and running, oh and yelling too! She was happy to see her YaYa. Amelia had to be the big helper and help YaYa with her suitcase. The two of them held onto the handle and pulled it to the car. What a cutie! Today I felt Baby Hadj II flutter around in the belly. It was funny at first I wasn't even thinking baby. It's still hard to believe another one is coming! Another Hadj. I have to admit, even though the nurse wasn't for certain, I'm some what at ease at least thinking we're having another girl. Although I've always struggled with female relations growing up (still growing up:)), I've always loved having sisters. Well, let me take that back. Not all the time. Not when they yell at you "that's what you are Jenny, you're dangerous!" real original sister! Or when that same sister would get smart and push every button on me. That's probably why I started drinking so young (sorry mom.) Then you have the strange sisters who's Barbie dolls were potty mouths and really mean to each other. Or line up the stuffed animals and teach Sunday school to them. Both sisters had strange happenings on the toilet, like again teaching Sunday school or singing OOChuka OOChuca. Sisters, I love'em. I wish I could remember more to share. Maybe another day. I just think it would be cool, since they will be close in age. We still haven't decided on a girl name though. Of course we all know the boy's name. Stephanos Straty, never to be called Steve! I'm not into it, especially since Amelia is so special. Stephan would be the short name, if need be. It was so funny and sad today. Ame and I went to chase the ducks out of the pool and Hazel & Miller Lite joined us. While I was throwing the beach balls around to make them fly away, Hazel May must have slipped. When I turned around her belly was teeter tottering on the small wall between the pool and jacuzzi, and her little legs were flapping as fast as they could not to fall into the water. She of course was loosing grip. I placed Amelia down and went to rescue Hazel. She slept the rest of the day! Between that and the lovely walk in the park, she was pooped. Amelia's most recent happenings: she's started the "Uh_Ohhh", she's informing me when she has a wet diaper, which is so wonderful! We're brushing teeth and she loves eating pizza by the slice and not in cut up pieces. She's doing very well with the fork and now wants to eat off mommy and daddy's plates. They need to invent a high chair where the food holder is heated, keeping the food warm. Amelia dislikes it when her food gets cold, therefore reaches for mommy or daddy's plate. She loves to sit at my childhood table in the living room and color, read books or do puzzles. Better go to bed. I have a Stella and Dot party tomorrow and I teach a class on Sunday! Bringing in some dough:) It feels good. (I"ll post airport pictures later)
