My girls have been sick so much already! They've both had croup and now colds. Poo. One week it's Kendal, the next is Mylee. It really is getting hard on Mom. I think we'll be keeping out of nursery til the new year. Luckily Kendal will be in sunbeams (CRAZY!) and there hopefully won't be as many germs!
I haven't really posted much because of the sicknesses. All my time is spent snuggling, wiping noses, giving medicine, etc. But both my girls are napping at the same time so I finally have me time!
Where to begin!? Little Mylee is 8 months old!! I can't believe how fast she is growing!!! Sometimes I get a little sad about it! But she is just so sweet. She is always smiling. Smiley Mylee! I love it! She is now crawling more on her hands and knees. She's been army crawling since 6 months! It was fun to watch the transition! And it's funny to watch her try to get going really fast on her hands and knees and then face plant it! She doesn't cry, just gets right back up! She is so mobile now. Crawling everywhere. She can go from sitting to laying and then back to sitting. She is also pulling herself up constantly! She has a little piano that she's pulled herself up with several times before, but now she's always standing at it playing. Or she is taking it for a walk across the room. She is trying to use the couch to pull herself up. She gets frustrated. I think she's just scared. She's kind of a sensitive little thing. We have recently taken her binky away. It's only been 2 nights and 1 whole day, but she's doing well. We took Kendal's bink away when she was 9 months. Had no problems. Mylee has been a little attached to her binky so we thought we'd give it a try. So far so good. She cries as she falls asleep, but it's only for 10 minutes. So it's really not that bad! I'm very impressed with her! The reason behind us taking the bink away now is so we won't have a two year old with one! It just seems if you don't take it away before their 1 year birthday...it stays a lot longer. Make sense? One thing I love about taking the bink away is that Mylee FINALLY will snuggle with me!! She was never a snuggle-er and it made me so sad! She loves snuggling with Daddy, but not me. But now she does! Oh how I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
Mylee is starting to like her baths. She thinks splashing is super funny. Didn't get a great video of her laughing but still shows a little.
She also started playing peek a boo the other day with me. And of course as soon as I grab the camera she stops.
A video from a month ago. Shows her scooting around.
Oh the random things they think is hilarious!
CLAPPING! Trying to. I thought she was waving, but it's a one handed clap!
Hissy Fit. I love her tantrums!
On to Kendal girl. She is such a funny thing! We've been trying to write stories down in a book. I'll probably just keep those stories there since I can't find the words to really give justice to her goofyness.
We set up our Christmas Tree :)
And made a countdown to Christmas chain.
We were able to see Santa TWICE this weekend! Once at our church party...
And again at our neighbors house! Santa came in on a firetruck! Every year Mike, our neighbor, goes crazy with Christmas lights! The kind of lights that light up with music! You tune your radio and listen in. It's awesome. He also makes his own "snow" he was saying it's a mix of soap and....vodka? haha It smelt really good. And all the kids LOVED running and playing in it!
I love watching Kendal's reaction! At first, where's Santa? Then she just stares at him! I wonder if she saw a difference from the two Santa's. She did however notice this Santa had a different voice. "Mommy, why does Santa talk different?" OOPS! haha
Mike also had a small train track the little kids could ride.
Mylee taking a ride with sister.

Such fun pictures and videos! Sure miss seeing you guys!
I didn't take the time to watch all the videos yet, but I found it very funny that Kendal is in a picture with the Christmas tree wearing a tank top! Foreign. Great pics!
What a fun update! I can't believe how BIG Mylee is!!! Your girls are so beautiful!
What a cute Christmas tree! Sometimes I see your cute pictures and get just a bit envious of the simplicity of your home. I think it sounds so much fun but we just have so much STUFF! Sometimes it's overwhelming.
Anyway, glad Kendal got to see Santa... twice already. What a lucky girl!
