September Update

Wow! I can't believe it's been over six weeks since my last post. I started my new job on August 11th and I love it. It's weird not being in the classroom but I'm getting used to it. Kylar and Kenzi are into the swing of things at school and both are very happy there. Adam is busy with work as usual. My girls...so gorgeous!! I love the look on Kenzi's face as Kylar has her in a headlock.

They really do love each other so much and they're starting to have fun together! Kenzi gets the biggest smile on her face whenever she sees her big sis. Kenzi is now 6 1/2 months old and has caught Kylar in weight and height at that age. At her well-check on September 3rd (a little more than 6 months), Kenzi weighed 14 lbs 10 oz (20th percentile) and was 25 1/4 inches (30th percentile). Kylar was 14 lbs 11 oz and 25 inches. Kenzi has also started sitting up on her own and is working on the crawling....she can scoot very well. She's eating all fruits and vegetables now so we'll probably try meat in a few weeks. Oh, for some reason Kenzi thinks she can eat frozen yogurt at Jason's Deli. Yesterday Adam was eating his ice cream and Kenzi wanted it really bad and got very vocal about it. It was so pitiful that we ended up giving her a couple licks....we're such push overs now! Sitting up all by myself!!

Snoozing with Daddy!

Splashing with Mommy!

Kylar is a busy little girl. After a two week break, she started back at gymnastics on Monday nights. Next week she'll start soccer and she's so excited. She's on a team with Tyler and we found out yesterday that their jerseys are orange....yuck! They'll have 1-2 practices a week (I'm hoping just 1) and then a game on Saturday. We bought her cleats, shinguards, and socks yesterday and she has tried them on a few times already. She looks so cute!! Anyway, between school, gym, soccer, and birthday parties, Kylar has a full social calendar! We are planning to start Kenzi at The Little Gym in January or February so we'll be real busy!

We bought Kylar a 48-piece puzzle on Friday and she put it together all by herself yesterday morning in about 30 minutes....now she can do it about 15-20. She picks up a piece, looks for a fit....if she doesn't find a fit, she'll sort them into new stacks. Her process is very logical and organized. So smart!

Kylar is working on writing letters and also her name. She had to sign her name on Emily's birthday card... not too shabby for a 3-year-old! A future photographer! Kylar loves to take pictures. She will say, "Okay, Mommy and Daddy, get together and smile...move a little closer," or "Mommy, put your arm around Kenzi and look at the camera." She loves to give direction!
