Determined

Tuesday morning I was nursing Kaylie in her room, I could hear Emma rummaging around in her room doing something. A few minutes later she came out buck naked carrying her bathing suit and proclaimed, "mommy I want to go swimming!"

Our city community center has a great indoor toddler pool and we had nothing else planned so I told her we could go. She then went into my room, got out the storage box of baby summer clothes, pulled out all four baby bathing suits and demanded I get Kaylie dressed. It took awhile to convince her we couldn't go at 7 am.

This was actually the first time I attempted to take both kids by myself and I think we did rather well. Emma put on a life jacket and splashed around the pool for 45 minutes while Kaylie and I hung out in the shallow end. Our only major hiccups were when I couldn't find Emma in the locker room because she had actually climbed into one of the lockers, and her meltdown in the parking lot when we tried to leave. With Kaylie in one arm I literally had to drag Emma kicking and screaming to the car.

Growing up

My baby is growing up too fast.

Which team do you cheer for?

For us it depends on who gets them dressed in the morning.

An inch worm with teeth

Two new accomplishments this month. After several sleepless nights due to teething my baby has her first two teeth. But she hasn't gone back to getting a whole lot of sleep at night.

She has also started her version of crawling. It kinda resembles an inchworm. She goes up on all fours and kinda lunges forward. A little hard to catch on camera but I gave it a shot.



She is now all over the house and into everything!

Good Morning?

Emma is usually somewhat cheerful in the morning, except when she's starving. But my favorite is the hair. She gets some serious awards for best bed head.
