More family love!















































































HAWAII

Hurrah... finally we have booked a holiday... It may be our longest hiatus from travel as a family yet, but C, school, work and took us down this year... but we just booked 11 days of glorious sunshine, family moments and warm relaxing resort luxury... CAN NOT WAIT! Hawaii here we come... Not very exciting, but exciting didn't make the list this year... Next year exciting will definitely be there...

C has learned to play peek a boo. OMG incredible to see ... she is a doll! We are in love still... madly madly in love. Her 6 month appt went well. Don't think the height measurement was right as she only grew 1/2 an inch... However she gained another 2 pounts and is now up to 17 pounds 5 ounces... She continues to love food... Bananas are her current favorite... and of course rice cereal.

K is entering the princess love stage.. a little late to the game, but she is there... and she is gearing up her list for Santa! Can't wait to get her ready for xmas this year.... SO ready to celebrate the season with her...

And what is even better Thanksgiving is coming! Which means our holiday pics this weekend... AS FOUR... eek!

Chugging along...

C continues to tick off big victories with every passing day... helping us get her dressed by pushing arms through etc, trying to learn that night time is just not the time for nursing... (this is being done with two parents sleeping in the living room since C is still in our room) and rolling... The sitting is getting better and she is still very smiley and laughy.. Bedtimes have been moved back for her and now she is going to bed between 7- 7:30 every night... The early bedtime is giving us more time for K... Last night we played Animal Bingo and Legos... She went to bed happy!

K is ready to give up her naps so we are trying to help her with the transition... In a way exciting and in a way sad... she continues to grow bigger... Four is an age with a lot of emotions... Tears are coming easier... not sure if that is from having to share parents or just being four years old. Trying to find more time to cuddle, be together and give her some 1:1 attention. On Sat we did a mommy and girlie adventure which was nice. Just need more time for these moments... Of course still dreaming of more sleep... but soon! The holidays will be nice as we will have lots of time together with no work or school getting in the way... Family bonding time here we come! Now need to survive the month leading up to that...
