Just Everyday Stuff

Just some pictures from around here. Some new favorite things to say this week: "I shut door,"

"I sorry," "mine," "eww, yuck, gwross," and two all time favorites "no" and "what happened ..." That is finished with everything. "what happened baby?" "what happened Rachel?" "what happened beep beep?" (ear thermometer) "what happened da-dong?" (ding-dong door bell)

Colt wearing Livy's old Thomas the train pajamas. He loves wearing "choo choos."

Rachel hiding from me. We are attempting to get her to stop the thumb sucking. I know it will be a long road but at least she is willing to try now. We don't carry cat around, we put the gross stuff on her thumb (the yuck), and we have a sticker chart/toy motivation. Hopefully we make progress! She has been doing better than I expected so far. Thanks Rae!

Ellie and Mom, 2 1/2 months old.

Some pictures of Ellie. Just hanging out. She's pretty good at just hanging out for a while. She likes the play mat and gets excited to be on it but hasn't tried to roll at all yet. She does twist so she can see the tv though! She sucks her thumb more now even when she is awake when she can get it in there. She is super smiley for me but still camera shy! And she loves when her brother and sister are near her. She loves to watch them.

Play date with Jamie's kids, finally. I had to document it because it had honestly been a year since we got together to play! Between last years opposite school schedules, extra curricular stuff, sickness, travel, Ellie, etc. we haven't seen each other in forever! Jamie and I are the best phone friends but it sure is nice to see my phone friend once in a while! And the kids miss each other. My girls love playing with Kylie and Savannah.

Self portraits of them riding a camel at the zoo in New York. Thanks grammy and poppy for taking us! We loved it!

The girls new favorite line "If you don't buy us this (or let us do that) we aren't going to talk to you anymore." They pulled this for the first time last week at the store and had me rolling, along with the lady in the isle with us. Now they use it a lot. If only they followed through on their threat, even for a few minutes!
