So close she can taste it

Kiley is so close to crawling she can taste it. She is getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth a lot. The rocking usually ends of in a nose dive into the floor but that doesn't stop her from trying again and again. I know in just a few more weeks I will be blogging about her crawling. My life with truly be over at that time with 2 on the move-YIKES!!











First wagon ride

Over the weekend we had the BEST weather ever, it felt the fall my favorite time of year!!! We had a lot of time outside playing. Hailey and I played with sidewalk chalk while Chris worked on the fish tank stand he is building, then we went for Kiley's very first wagon ride. It makes me sad that she is already sitting up so well she can take wagon rides with Hailey, but they sure do look cute sharing a wagon! After our walk we played on the swings in the backyard and Kiley fell asleep in her swing again. It was also the perfect night to eat dinner outside. The fall-like weather sure does have me craving the fall.











Injury

Hailey had her first bad injury a few days ago, she went to the library with my parents one night and when she was running to the side walk she fell on the curb and scraped her knee pretty bad. She was eating up all the special attention she was getting from Mamaw and Papaw that night, she said she couldn't walk up the stairs because of her boo-boo. I guess I didn't make it any better when I wrapped her knee up like this...



The scrape was about the size of a silver dollar and she said it burned when she got in the bath. I know she loved the attention she got because she still talks about her boo-boo from the library!

Family Fun

Saturday we went over to Kate and Cory's for a small family get together and to watch the race. I love getting our family and Kate's family together because there are so many kids both the girls have so much fun!!



This is Kiley playing with Lucy and Paul

Hailey played dress up with all the big girls, Mia took one of her skirts and made it a dress for Hailey. Smart girl Mia is.

And this is Hailey playing football with the big kids...

Accessories...

Kiley wanted to share her accessories with you


Do you see her pearly whites???

Road Trip

We took a road trip over the weekend to St Louis, it was so nice to see ALL my family again. We hadn't been to St Louis since Thanksgiving. I was a little nervous as to how the girls would be on the 4 hour ride, but they were good as gold.

We stayed at my Aunt Diane;s house which was great because she has a little boy just a year older then Hailey. They had lots of fun playing together and helping make food for the party on Saturday.


It was about 1000 degrees outside but thankfully there was a really nice breeze so we could tolerate being outside.







The kids and big boys played a baseball game, it reminded me of when I was a little kid and would play ball in the backyard. Although I didn't play a lot of ball, I more or less did a lot of cheer leading and dance in the backyard! We have even started Hailey and Cohen out young playing corn hole!!

Its a good thing I have the pictures below or NO ONE would believe that Hailey held a frog!!!!




We were sad to leave all of our family but glad to be home at the same time. I can't wait to go back!!

Gymnastics

Hailey just finished another session of gymnastics and is ready for her next 9 weeks! We started Hailey in gymnastics when she was 18 months old and the very first class I thought we had made the biggest mistake EVER! She cried the whole time and didn't want to do anything, we stuck with it praying she would get better, and she DID. Now she loves it and is getting really good. She can do a forward roll, backwards roll, a headstand and handstand walking up a wall, and she loves the bars.




Hailey also got her 2nd year trophy








We are so proud of all the new things you have learned Hailey Lauren!!!
