Saturday was Carter's 5th Birthday party. Kayleigh woke up at 8:30 in a devilish mood then fell right back to sleep. We had to wake her up at 10:40! A bit less devilish. Kayleigh loved painting the pumpkins and watching all of the other kids. Yet another day with no nap, but worth it because we all had fun.
My Taylor girl rolled over!! She has been so close for so long and tonight she finally went all the way over. I tried to get a good picture of her on her belly but Kayleigh decided that was enough pics of her sis for one night and would jump in front of the camera. Taylor would only stay on her stomach for a little bit and would roll right back. She needs to learn how to get that arm out from under her after she turns. I am sure she will be a pro in a few days and I can get some better pictures. I am so proud of my girl!!
Here are some recent pictures of Taylor. She will be 4 months on the 23rd. She is the sweetest baby ever. She is so calm and good natured. If you talked to her she just smiles. She is also becoming ticklish, which has been so much fun to make her giggle. She is almost able to roll over all the way,but not quite yet. I tried to get a picture of the girls together, but Kayleigh got mad every time her sister would touch her. Then I just put in a picture of Kayleigh at nap time. She sometimes will just talk for two hours strait, but on this day she actually did sleep. Just on the floor in the middle of the room, still cuddled to Ernie!
I was able to capture this tender moment between Kayleigh and Ernie today. As many of you have heard Ernie will cry often because he wants milk (as Kayleigh tells us). She is always sticking her food and drink into his mouth, but one day she said he wanted milk. I was thinking she would, like always, just stick her cup in his mouth. This time she lifted up her shirt and placed Ernie's head kind of by her belly, held it there for a few seconds, then said "All full Ernie? Good job!" Such a good little Momma. We asked her if Bert gets milk and she looked at us like we were crazy, as if she would nurse someone elses baby!
The time has come... my first baby is in a big girl bed! Little monkey learned how to climb out of her crib, so Daddy had to convert it into her toddler bed yesterday. She was really excited about it. She slept great last night. We put a mesh bed rail thing on the front because she is such a mover and would probably end up on the floor. She is "napping" right now. A few minutes ago I heard her shut her toy box that holds all of her blankets, so I went in and told her to stay in her bed. Her bed now has about eight blankets in it, but whatever! This all started because she was becoming the queen of stalling before bedtime. "Just one more book and I no cry," was what we heard about a dozen times. Then we would finally walk out of the room and she would scream her head off for more books. Well on Wed night as I was walking out of her room she proceeded to hop right out and I caught her half way out of her crib. She did this about three more times. I caved and read all her stinking books, so she would calm down and not break her neck trying to jump out. The next morning she told her Daddy, "I be naughty. I climb out of my crib. I cry like a baby. Mommy say no no. Kaykay say more books, more books. I be naughty!" She told us the story quite a few times. I would rather forget the screaming episode- I am sure there are more where that came from!
