Happy 6 Month Birthday, Kylee!!!

 New Headbands :)
 Looking like a little girl!!!

 Mmmmm Sissy, this is tastey!

 Halloween outfits



Kylee turned 6 months old this Monday!!!  We cannot believe how quickly it has gone.  It saddens me to think that we will not experience the little milestones ever again.  On the other hand, it is so neat to see the girls grow, learn, and change as they get older.   Kylee definitely has a voice!  She already lets her sister know if she doesn't like something or is frustrated.  We need to set up a Kylee only zone in our house.  Zoe has toys with such small parts, so we are trying to figure out how it will all work out.  Kylee is ready to scoot, so it is just a matter of days probably before we are in serious trouble.  She actually rolls around very well, so we already have to keep an eye on her constantly while she is playing on the floor.  She loves when we sing songs to her and manipulate her hands/arms for movements to the songs.  Zoe is a constant source of entertainment for Kylee and it is great because Zoe sings her (and us) all the songs she learns at her schools.  I can't believe that I will have to plan a party soon for this little pumpkin!!!

Kylee is Sitting!!!





Kylee is sitting!!!  I am a couple of weeks late, but hadn't gotten a chance to capture it until this morning.  She was playing with Zoe's computer and actually likes it so much that she climbed over her to get to it this morning!  I am sure we will have a scooter soon.  She has been eating oatmeal, squash, and sweet potatoes so far and LOVES her squash!  As soon as we returned to school, she decided sleeping through the night wasn't for her.  We have been getting a little better, but then the cold struck and that is no help.  I am proud to say that I have continued breast feeding despite how difficult it is to pump at school.  It is simple a pain!  BUT Kylee is well worth it :)

What Have We Been Up To???






Well as usual, September is a CRAZY busy month for us.  We started school on the 5th this year and Shaun had to take on a combo, so it has been busier than usual.  Oh!  And did I mention that we have Kylee to worry about in the mornings now too!  I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.  Oh, okay, I wouldn't mind working less to be home with the girls even more.  We are lucky though, because we do get home much earlier than most full time jobs.  Also, September is a birthday filled month for us.  We have attended 3 birthday celebrations in the last two weeks.  First, was my friend Amanda's, little guy, Jakey's 3rd birthday party.  It was a circus theme and Amanda goes all out!  There were games the kids could play for prizes, a person making balloon animals, hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, and the BEST homemade circus decorations.  Then we went to our friends' little one, Nick's 4th birthday party at the park.  It was a safari/Diego party.  They went on a scavenger hunt, got safari hats, monkeys, and binoculars.  Zoe wasn't too sure about the big pinata.  Lastly, we, Kylee and I went to our nephew, Zach's cowboy/girl party.  Unfortunately, Zoe was sick so she couldn't go.  Oh, did I mention that Zoe is struggling to stay healthy since she has started school.  Here we go!!!  Kylee has caught whatever it is Zo had and poor little thing sounds so bad when she coughs.  She is getting better though.  Zoe is still a great big sis and is learning what personal space is because her sissy will let her know when she is too close :).
