And then there were two....

One week down! Kaitlyn has really enjoyed her first 5 days of Kindergarten. She is super tired at the end of the day though. And by tired I mean extremely hyper, loud and overly energetic. W.O.W. I guess she just has to be on her very best behavior all day at school, so when she comes home she feels safe enough to just let it all out. Maybe this will get better as the year goes on.

So, until 2012 - I now have 2 kids at home during the day! I thought I would write a little about what each of them are up to these days. We'll start with Cora...

The four words that she says the most right now are: draw, doll, video and bubbles. She LOVES scribbling with crayons on just about any surface. She is also usually carrying around or pushing her baby dolls in their stroller most of the day. She loves watching her videos. She says bubbles anytime she is about to take a bath. Bubbles is probably my favorite word that she says. It just sounds extra cute when she says it.

Oh- and she also says, "Don't like it" about pretty much anything that she eats. She still is a VERY picky eater, and really just doesn't eat a whole lot at all.

Which leads me to her bottle. She decided she wants to be in a contest with Suri Cruise to see who can require a bottle the longest. I'll let you know who wins.

She is also very into shoes, lotion, dancing and jumping.

She used to HATE having her picture taken, but lately she has been cheesing it up for the camera.

Now that Kaitlyn is gone, most of the day she walks around saying, "Sissy go? Sissy go?"

She can sing most of the words (or words that sound like the real ones) to "Jesus Loves Me" and "Twinkle Twinkle."

She has her Daddy's sweat glands. She will start sweating after just walking to the car from the house. Bless her...

She attracts mosquito bites like none other. Her poor little (fat) legs look horrible right now!

She is the most beautiful girl and we just love her!!!






And baby Claire......

We predict that she will be the tallest of the 3 girls. It's a little freaky how long she is. However, she is the skinniest of the 3.

She is up on all four's crawling around everywhere! Her little hands are evidence of how dirty my wood floors are. Yuk!

She grinds her teeth. Let me rephrase that. She grinds her 2 bottom teeth against her top gum. This has caused it to actually start bleeding on more than one occasion. I'm not quite sure what to do about this!!

She is already pulling up on the couch and has even pulled up on one of Cora's push toys. This girl is crazy!

She loves her "Johnny Jumper" thing. She can go crazy in there! Cora and Kaitlyn like to spin her around and swing her in it - so it does require pretty much constant attention.

She also loves Baby Einstein videos. And the TV period.

She doesn't really have much interest in baby food. I really hope she doesn't develop Cora's eating habits. Seriously, what's wrong with my kids? Eat already!

When she is drinking a bottle or if I am rocking her to sleep, she always reaches up to play with my hair. I LOVE this. Even when she pulls it.

She is still the most serious. She really doesn't smile or laugh all that much. She'll come around - you can't NOT laugh at our family sometimes.

She LOVES her sleep. She can still easily take 3 naps a day and sleep great all night. Just like her Daddy....

We love her so much. She has been the perfect addition to our family!
