Kisses!

Walking!

I caught some of Casen's first steps a couple of weeks ago on camera. Something about this picture makes me smile, so please excuse the lack of clothing (sorry, mom!). And yes, he spends a lot of time in just a diaper because he is the gooiest, snottiest, drooliest, spit-upiest kid you have ever met.

Hideout

Sometimes if you don't want your brother to play with your toys, you have to hide.

Daddy's Girl

I love the way she has her finger on his thumb, I don't quite know why.

Bubba

What Bubba has been up to:
Walking! Yes, this kid has been walking for a couple of weeks.... overachiever.
He still loves his Chewy and MUST have it to sleep and when he gets upset.
He plays in and eats dog food, of course I attempt to stop it.
He is waving and pointing. He loves to play with balls. He adores his sister and wants to follow her everywhere. He says Ma ma and Da Da. He has had 4 ear infections. He drinks 4 6 oz bottles and eats some table food. He hates (and I mean HATES) scrambled eggs. He loves Natural Cheetos. He has the most adorable smile in the whole world.

Kayleigh's First Drawings that Actually Look Like Something

Love

Kayleigh Bear Update:

Here is what the Bear has been up to lately:
She sings all the time, and I mean all. the. time. Most of the time she is making up songs to the tunes of songs she knows, it is hilarious. She still loves her brother so much. She always wants to wake him up and play with him and gets bored when he is not around. She is really in to Veggie Tale's movies, Tinkerbell, All Disney Princesses, pretending to clean her kitchen, cheese, "reading" books to her brother, coloring, painting, cutting, glueing, playing with baby dolls, "reading" the Bible and OF COURSE White Dog. She tells me everyday that we can be best friends forever. I love this kid.

I can't imagine life without them.

Around our House...

Kayleigh has been obsessed with art. I let her have glue, scissors (plastic, of course), markers, and crayons. The stickers were taken away after she put a huge unicorn on the TV and hearts all over the bookshelf I made.
Bubba has a love affair with the door stoppers. They will keep him busy for at least 2 minutes!

Kayleigh gets in bed with her brother every morning and after both of his naps. They jump and play together. It is cute and sweet until she just goes in there because she is ready to have someone to play with and he is ASLEEP!

My Little Fish

Kayleigh has turned into an absolute fish, thanks to going to the Y a lot this summer. She puts her arms over her noodle and swims around the deep end like a little pro. She will also jump in at Daddy and swim a few feet to get to him. I am sad that it is going to be cold soon and we won't get to swim anymore.

Ear Infections

Bubba has had 2 ear infections in the last month. That's all, just wanted it written down so I will remember.

9 months old!

How can it be that my little toot is already 9 months old? He is just too adorable for words. He says "ma ma" and "da da." He is a little mess and into EVERYTHING! He can stand up without holding on, but is not trying to take step (thank goodness!). He has 2 teeth and 3 more trying to make their way in. He is obsessed with his bottle and freaks out everytime he sees it! His favorite toys are still Kayleigh, the activity table, and his "chewy." He hates to sit still long enough to get his diaper changed and I usually have to chase his bare toosh around to get him diapered.

7 months

My little Bubba is already 7 months old. I. Can't. Believe. It. He is just the most adorable thing.
He has 2 teeth.
He is pulling up on toys.
He is reaching out for mommy.
He is babbling. Mostly Da da da and Ba ba ba.
He is sleeping 12 hours since we gave him a lovey to sleep with. He takes 2 naps.
He still thinks his sister is the best toy.
His favorite other toys are his exersaucer, bouncer, and kitchen.
He is trying VERY hard to crawl, but can't seem to sync his knees and his hands.
He is just the most adorable little thing ever!

Little Bubba

I love my little Bubba. It is so hard for me to believe that I left Kayleigh at daycare for 9 hours a day when she was this age. Until last weekend I had not left him anywhere more than 4 hours. I love spending so much time with him. Recently he has started reaching out for me to pick him up, it just melts my insides. I absolutely LOVE staying at home with him (oh year and K-Bear too).

Teefers

Case has gotten 2 teefers in the last couple of weeks. He is a VERY fussy teething baby. If it weren't for frozen bananas, Tylenol, and my baby carrier... I don't know what I would have done.

My Little Fish

Kayleigh started swimming lessons this year. I was amazed at how well she did and how much she learned. She can now "monkey crawl" all the way around the pool, go under water, and swim in the deep end with just a noodle!
