Cute Kids

Surprise! We aren't dead! Sorry about the lack of posts in July, and June...and May and pretty much all of 2009. I have lists of things I'd like to post about and zero time or drive to do so.

Here's a quick update on our cute kids.




Katelynn is growing so fast! I can't believe that my newborn has been replaced by this darling baby girl! She started smiling and giggling about 5 weeks ago. The best sound in the world is Katie's sweet giggle!

Here she is on her 3 month birthday! She loves to suck on her knuckles and hands. The drool that comes out of her mouth is positively amazing. She can soak the entire front of her onesie in just a few minutes.

Katelynn has also learned how to kick! She gets so excited to sit in her bouncer and kick at the spiders to make them swing back and forth. Here comes our next soccer player!

Sammy is officially 2 (in June, yeah, I'm behind!). Whenever I try to take his picture, this is the face I get.

He loves to cook with daddy. In the last week they've made cookies and waffles together. When I ask Sammy what he want for breakfast in the morning he says, "awffles, okay" and then runs to his high chair.

And finally, we have started potty-training! Sort of. I'm just not that motivated to actually hunker down and get started on it. I'd much rather change a diaper where the poop is supposed to be, than clean up an accident. But he's starting to notice when he needs to go - he'll come up to me and say, "Mommy, potty." Problem is, the potty is already in the pants... He is getting used to sitting on the toilet and has had a couple successful drips which I guess is a start. He does love the toilet though, and has been caught a couple times at other people's homes with a toothbrush in hand and an open toilet at his side. Gross! Sorry you had to replace your toothbrush Heather & Tanna... :-)

Sammy and Katelynn love to be together. Sammy loves his little baby "kaybin" and loves her toys too. He will even set a football next to her face so that he might take the cute toy dangling above her. He isn't as gentle as Katelynn (nor I) would like, but he is learning. He occasionally will read to her as well which just melts my heart. I am so grateful for my cute kids!
