FLIP....ALMOST

Kaylee has gotten pretty good at her flips. Maybe she is a future gymnist.



And here is "Little Miss Copycat" doing her "flip". Don't blink or you'll miss it.

NO MORE OATMEAL

I have discussed in previous posts that Brooke doesn't miss a meal. She is a bottomless pit! Recently, I broke the news to Brooke that her oatmeal was gone and this is what happened:

TIM'S HALLOWEEN COSTUME

I guess Tim has finally decided on his Halloween costume for this year: A Caterpillar!! How cute!

"JESUS LOVES ME"

Sorry it has been awhile!!! I really don't have a lot of time right now to post so I am just going to add a short video of Kaylee singing "Jesus Loves Me".

SLEEPY HEAD

Kaylee has always been able to fall asleep pretty much anywhere and sleep through anything. I am always taking her to restaurants and laying her down in the booths. Sometimes she never even knows that we got out of the car. A few days ago, Kaylee was eating lunch and I went to change Brooke's diaper. As I was walking back to the kitchen, I heard Kaylee drop her spoon and this is why:

Once again, I think that Brooke is making progress in the area of going to other people besides Mama. Kelsi, a former student in the college group at South Side, came to our house to visit before she moves off and gets married (yeah, Kelsi!!!!). As we were chatting, Brooke walked over to Kelsi, got in her lap, and put her head down. I couldn't believe it so I had to get a picture!!

FUN WITH MIRRORS AND BUMBOS

We were moving some furniture today and Tim put a mirror against the couch while he went to get a hammer and some nails. At some point, Kaylee found the mirror:

While I was posting this video, Brooke sat in the Bumbo. A Bumbo is a seat for babies that will hold them up even before they are able to sit up on their own. I think the box says it is for babies 4 to 14 months. You will see in the video that the Bumbo has definitely expired for Brooke:

"CLEANING" PAPS' HOUSE

Today the girls and I "cleaned" Paps' house. By the time we left I wasn't sure if the house was cleaner or dirtier than before we arrived.

After running around a little and checking things out, Kaylee found a little TV with a VCR in the guest bedroom and asked to watch a "moobie". She decided to be a sweet big sister today and asked if I would put Brooke on the bed with her to watch the movie. Ahhhh, so sweet....

That didn't last long because Brooke wanted to jump on the bed. So, after a short tantrum, she found a book and took it to Paps to read. If you have been around Brooke for a short time, you know that she would rather be held by Mom that go to anyone else. She is making progress in this area and here is a picture to show it. Yeah!!!!

And of course, Kaylee is still watching A Bug's Life.

Next, they decided to play a few songs.

All that cleaning was hard on Kaylee.

Brooke thought she would help out some more.

Kaylee woke up because she heard the word "cookie" and after having a few cookies she finished up her nap with Paps.

The girls helped Paps pick up all the toys and we started out the door, but first Brooke decided to dump her entire bag of Cookie Crisp on the floor along with all the little crumbs (you know, all the little crumbs at the end of the cereal box). Another day of life with a 2-year-old and a 1-year-old. Fun, Fun!!!!
