Catching Up!

I know... I have been terrible at keeping up with this blog.  So I'll try to catch up with things a little.   Well Kara is so fun right now.  She talks so well and talks a lot.   I really enjoy having little conversations with her.   We still have plenty of meltdowns but she is understanding that those are not OK with me!  She loves to watch Barney and Dora on TV so I do enjoy those quiet times when she is watching them but have to definitely limit them or else we'll be watching them all day. 
 Trevin, he is just the best little guy ever.  He is so happy most of the time!  He's on a pretty routine schedule and sleeps better then Kara at night now.  He is really wanting to move but I think his weight is limiting his abilities.  At 24 lbs or so he has a hard time lifting up his body but he can sure get around just by scooting and rolling.  He got his first tooth the other day and it looks like there are a few more to come shortly.   He loves his sister and loves to watch her.  He is such a boy though and loves it when Kara plays rough with him.   We find Kara actually stepping on him, rolling over him, or pushing him down and all Trevin does is giggle like crazy. Just wait Kara!   

Last weekend we finally left the valley and drove down south.  It was a very much needed break from the daily routine that we are in right now!  We got to enjoy seeing Danny and Kristi; Michael, Colleen and Ryan; Grandma K; and Steve and Adri and the kids.  We had a wonderful time visiting each family!  It was a very busy weekend and a lot of work but it was totally worth it.  I can't believe how well the kids did.  A DVD player for the car is the best invention ever and well Trevin, he could care less.  He just looked out the window, took little cat naps and watched Kara pretty much the whole drive.   I know next time we travel it will be a complete disaster so I'm glad just this one time went well!  :) 


Adri and I loved watching Mya and Kara play together.  I'm sure our Moms would say they reminded them of us when we were that age.  
The girls playing Ring Around the Rosey.  So cute!

......................Playing Together.....................

I think one of my favorite things right now is watching Kara and Trevin actually play together.  I decided it was safe enough to let Trevin play in the playroom and those two played together for over an hour.  Kara just kept bringing him all of her toys and then reading him books.  Trevin giggles like crazy at Kara and I think she enjoys the audience.  Today she was jumping off the couch and he was just cracking up.  I know this won't last so I am just really enjoying these moments...


Trevin thought this was so fun....until Kara decided to go in there with him. 

Chaotic bath time. 
These toys aren't just fun for Trevin!
