TGIF!

Our happy girls were very content standing and digging in the mud to celebrate Friday.  We continued to enjoy the 70 degree January day having friends over for happy hour outside.  The costumes were on before they stepped in the door :)  The princess and the wolf had a ball pushing each other on the digger and having dinner alone at the big kids table!

 

Kendall is SIX Months Old!

Our sweet baby girl is six months old.  

18 lbs, 11 oz, 27 inches

Six months has brought lots of blowing raspberries, squeals of delight, rollovers, finding her feet, standing up and being proud of it,  cereal, bananas and sweet potatoes, two big teeth, sleep (again) and of course the bright eyed smiles.  The biggest highlight is the extreme joy Kendall gets from her big sis.  Kendall adores Mollie, watches her, laughs at her... and the adoration goes both ways.  Mollie rushes to her side when she crying and is SO proud when she makes her laugh.  Kendall squeals when we chase Mollie around the house and Mollie loves to entertain with peak-a-boo.  Kendall loves watching Mollie do dance recitals on her stage and Mollie loves dressing Kendall up in tutus and angel wings.

I would never guess a six month old and three year old could have this month interaction and find this much joy in each other.  It is truly heartwarming to watch.  

Which leads me to.... the photo I've been waiting for... my six month old baby girl and big girl SMILING together - it's harder to capture on picture then it sounds :)

And the balloon pics of our six month old (showcasing her standing, sitting and teeth)...

Love you KK!

Fireman Fieldtrip

We walked across the street from school to the UP Fire station for Mollie's first field trip.  

"Mollie, do you want to be a fireman", I asked, seeing if she wanted to try on the jacket.  

"No, a firegirl Mommie!" 

Happy Weekend

Another sunny day and some good girl time!

Dallas in February

75 degrees one day...

40 degrees the next...

 Little K has been playing with her ball.  Looks like we may have our first tomboy :)

Mollie Ballerina

 Observing a three year old ballet class is the sweetest thing ever!

Giggling and Hugs

The highlight of this sequence was Nana's Donald Duck impression and Kendall's laugh attack, but my video isn't cooperating... so here are some stills that capture that cuteness, and a family hug following.

The week of dress up

The dress up didn't end at Nana and Papas house.  And Mollie has gotten Kendall involved.

Donkey Fights

I don't know why these two call their rides donkey fights, but they have fun.  Again, the highlight is Mollie's laughing in the video.  I will try to fix and load so you can hear that sweet sound!

Sweets already?!

Since Kendall has advanced to using the spoon by herself and licking the bowl clean, we decided to explore beyond rice today.  So, we went for the sweet treat of sweet potatoes.

You can see the excitement in her smile!

 Hmmm...

 Not bad, I think I'll have more.

And she didn't even get very messy!

Nice work KK!
