Capturing a smile

Here are the many faces of Kyle in the attempt to get a smile.

there it is
and what post would be complete without pictures of Sofie. Do you like her hair? Thanks Aunt Cammie for the idea. This is our old camera that we gave her for Christmas and she loves it.
Playing princesses on the computer with Dad
Loving on her brother.

Just a side note, I know these two are going through growth spurts. They are both eating like crazy. Oh yeah and Sofie's pants are all of a sudden too short.

For Grandma

Here are some new pictures for our families. Kids change so fast and you can never have enough pictures of them.
Funny Picture

Kyle and George
Kyle did pretty well in the Bumbo but I think his neck was sore after a little bit. We'll try again tomorrow.

Here is Sofie and Kyle's cousin Ty. They came out for his Mom's friends baby shower and they were able to stay with us for a night and all the kids had fun together. (well I think Kyle had fun)

We have been redoing some things in our house. We (Nathan) painted the living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway and redid the flooring in the dining room. There was carpet in there before and with two kids it wasn't that nice anymore (well I guess only one kid has done the damage). We are also redoing the carpet but are waiting for the installer to have a spare time to do it. I will have to post pictures after it is all done and put back together but for now we love it already. The only problem is that the floor is slippery now and Sofie has already fallen and split the skin in between your front two teeth. That was fun cleaning up the blood.

Bath Time

I was brave (or dumb) enough to do bath time by myself the other day and it actually went pretty well.

Kyle chilling before his bath.

Yes my child is reading the phone book.

Life the last couple days

Here is what we have been up to the last couple of days (warning lots of pictures)

Sofie

she was helping dad give Kyle a bath this morning and got rather wet. When dad was getting Kyle dressed Sofie decided to dress herself. That is a swimsuit around her neck.


She is really into dressing herself lately. This is how she came out the other morning. Too bad is was way to cold to be dressed like this. She also is rather fond of dresses and skirts lately, the other day she wanted a dress on so we put it on and she asked to go to church I told her it wasn't Sunday and then she said "I get married" I asked who she was going to marry and she said "Daddy". She talks about getting married all the time, it must be because all the princess get married.
While I was taking a nap today Nathan and Sofie had a picnic with her princess. You can see grover and grumpy in the background, Nathan said they were at the picnic but Sofie quickly got rid of them. They weren't good enough for her I guess.

Yes, Cinderella is not dressed. Were just lucky she is the only one, most of the time all of her dolls are missing their clothing.

Playing with her princess and doll houses.

She ate this whole apple the other day. She ate it so fast I had to practically pull it out of her hands before she ate the stem and seeds.

Dad found a Disney Princess website that you can dress up the princess and play games. She loved it and was constantly trying to get her face right up next to the screen.
First bath together.

Trying to go home with Grandma and Grandpa.

We gave her our old camera the other day and she took lots of pictures. She sat in front of Kyle for a long time and took many pictures of him. They were pretty funny.

Kyle

Taking a nap with Dad

This is how he was sleeping the other day.This was Sofie's doing. Poor kid this is probably what he has to look forward to for the next couple years.
watching the picnic partyDoing what he loves to do, sleeping.
I love these little kids. Sofie has been making me laugh so much lately. Even when she should be in trouble for some of the things she is doing I can't help laughing at her. And Kyle is such a good baby. I am so grateful for both of them.

Cute Sleeper

Nathan's Mom made this cute sleeper for Kyle's cousin and now he gets to wear it.

Kyle

Sofie loves holding her little brother. The other day Grandma and Mom had to stop her from picking him up out of the swing, she is too fast sometimes.

Kyle is already changing so much. On Tuesday it will be 4 weeks, I can't believe how fast it has gone.
