Growing Up!!!

 So big now...I can bathe with my big sis!

 Our little dare devil...first time in the swing at home and lovin' it.

 Big Sis loves to push!

 Yes!  That is the BABY pulling up on furniture and walking around it!

Such a BIG girl!!!

 

Well...party planning has begun at the house so I eat, sleep, and breathe planning.  Not to mention there are two parties to throw now!  Kylee is going to have a Very Hungry Caterpillar party and Zoe is going to have a rainbow party.  I am having so much fun with the themes!  They are easy, yet hard.  What Daddy and I are having a hard time with is how big our girls are getting!  How did four years go by already?!  And, seriously, it seems like only weeks ago when we brought home baby Kylee.  It is so amazing how well they get along, I am hoping it stays that way.  Kylee adores her big sister and watches her every move.  We were able to teach Kylee how to blow kisses, it is too cute.  She is so much fun right now and is pulling herself up on furniture, walking around it, and almost standing.  She still does not have any teeth, but is on her way to her first word.  I think her sister is encouraging her to talk even sooner than she did!  Zoe continues to help out all of the time, but we are working on less whining!  Zoe still loves going to school and giving us the details when she gets home.  Her teachers tell us that she has come out of her shell a bit and when we drop her off at our school, she won't talk, but once we are gone, the teachers properly greet her and she says hello to them.  She recently has learned the days of the week, all about community helpers, about farm animals, and can identify most of the letters in the alphabet now/write quite a few of them.  She continues to use more and more vocabulary and picks up so much just from being out and about with us.  Our current dilemma is with school for Zo.  Her program in NP changed its schedule from a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning program to a Mon.-Thurs.  12-2:30 program.  This puts a damper on my plans  BIG time!  Zoe was going to stick with going to both schools, but now we aren't sure how her schooling will work.  She benefits sooooo much from both programs, so it is hard to let go of either.  The best part of the school in NP is that she has made a little friend that she wants to have playdates with.  This is the first time she has wanted a playdate without me arranging with our friends' kiddos.  To give up that school would mean giving up a lot of her local socialization and NAPS.  It is not a win, win situation at all!!!  I am going to have to arrange the playdates soon, so we can get to know these little girls better and continue to keep them as little friends in the area.  Hohum!
