Sisters and Squirrel Holes



Kallyn loves to cuddle up to Brielle on our papa bear chair while she watches her movies. She insists on letting her it in her squirrel hole (the little nest in the nook of your knees when you curl your legs up) and on this day she was so comfy she fell asleep!








The girls feel so special and growed up when daddy lets them play with his I-pod touch.) He's downloaded a few fun kid apps that really get them partying!
This one is a game where you tilt the i-pod to steer a duck through obstacles as it flies south. You have to watch out for trees, rocks, and haystacks. The girls purposely crashed the duck into the objects and they thought it was histerical! Well, daddy and I thought they were hysterical laughing and playing together!

Bigger is better? and the baby's doing WHAT!!!

Actually, in this case, my new smaller computer is better than my old cinderblock brick laptop. Faster, more portable, doesn't have to forever be attached to a wall in order to suck power, and best of all, Eric stayed out all night after Thanksgiving to wait in line to get a kicking deal for me! So what does this mean? Well, hopefully it means more posts!!!!! with more pics!! However, untill I make time to find time to back post everything that has happened this semester I will only be focusing on posting present events! Starting with our latest genius...
Brielle is officially walking!! Although she crawls if she really needs to book it somewhere (or away from somewhere!) She's taken up to 9 steps at a time. Tonight she also figured out how to blow kisses and give hugs, although it's more of the squeezing grunt sound she makes as she leans into you! And when she mimicked our blowing kisses she discovered how to make the sucking kiss sound! She was so pleased with herself! My great grandpa Morgan used to call that sound a "Smackers on the Beezers". On Monday she discovered clapping and now she claps ALL THE TIME!!!! And she's even figured out how to sign "more" for eating time. If she ever sees us eating anything she starts clapping her hands but using more of her fingers as she starts licking her lips! SHE LOVES food! She eats anything I put in her mouth. She's crazy for refried beans, bananas, applesauce, carrots, and Cheerios. But she gets excited for anything edible! This morning she ate 3/4 of my Malt-o-meal that i added frozen Raspberries to cool it off. I couldn't shovel it in fast enough! I'm so glad she's a good eater!
