A Bouncing Good Time

I took the girls to Monkey Joe's for the 1st time. Lauren was daring enough to try the BIG slide but refused to come down when she got too scared! One of the workers had to stop the kids from getting on the slide so Lauren could come down the stairs instead of the slide. And THANKS to her friend Nick for rescuing her! "Weeee....." down a smaller slide!
Poor Kendall didn't get any good napping time since she had to sit in this itty bitty stroller. If you look closely at her hand you can see what she thought of all the kids playing without her! Who's teaching my child this???

Oh, how we love to play!

These two cutie babes are only 1 month apart. It's so exciting to see them grow and interact with each other from floor play to now sitting up! They are intrigued by each other's faces. Kiley wants to give kisses and Kendall wants to pull on her! Lauren loves watching the babies play. But of course can be too much of a helper......by bumping their noggins together! Oops... Kendall loves her friends!

It's a plane, It's a train, It's a TOOTH?

I started putting baby orajel on Kendall's gums before bedtime. The poor girl has been teething since month 3. Tonight as I gave her a nightly dose I felt something sharp! Her teeth are coming! She has two cracked gums on the bottom. One with what feels to be a sharp razor blade! I know it will be soon that her grin is filled with two itty bitty white caps. Oh, and there is more trouble to come of her when she has teeth. I would say poor me.....but poor Lauren is better! Those cute play bites are going to start to hurt. ;-)

So Vain

Kiss, kiss.... Awe....she loves herself!

Whoa! Trouble...

KENDALLICIOUS is getting into some trouble in her crib!Look at that strength! AND...she's up! Yikes...

We will be lowering our crib mattress so she doesn't just decide to walk out of there!

News Flash.....

Lauren has decided that her new name is "Flower."

Somehow this princess has turned into a hippy!

Sleepy Head!

Lauren slept in until 9:45 this morning! This is not her usual wake up time. She really, really needs her sleep. I guess she is catching some zzzz's to make up for lack of during our weekend get-a-way. Love the bed head!

The Joys of Playtime!

Kendall was not short of entertainment during our vacation!

Daddy had to join in on the fun!

Vacation Hollywood

We just had a wonderful weekend vacation in Hollywood, FL. The girls were great car travelers! We were amazed at how well they both did. The family stayed at Aunt Jan's house. We played at the beach! Had some pool time and visiting with my Aunt Carol, Uncle Pat, and cousin's Chris and Nicholas. Ate some yummy food and a little bit of shopping. It ended with a crazy drive home due to detours and weather. The weekend flew by too fast!

Kendall enjoyed stretching her legs at the wheel.

We got to my Aunt Jan's house so very late Thursday night. We all needed a pick me up the next morning! Mmmm....hot chocolate!
We started our trip by heading to Hollywood Beach.
This was the very first beach I ever dipped my baby toes into!

Kendall enjoyed her baby tent!

She was able to play and enjoy the breeze without the beating sun on her body.

Lunch Time

One tired babe!

During our trip we ate at Rainforest Cafe. Kendall sat in a restaurant highchair for her very first time. The wait staff was going 'ga-ga' over her cuteness!

The girls are ready for bed in their matching PJ's!

Kendall met her two year old cousin Nicholas.

COUSINS (Kendall, Lauren, Mommy, Chris, and Nicholas)

Auntee Jan and the Girls

We can't wait to return!

The planning is already in the works for more beach and family time...

Party Time with your BFF

Summer Time = Party Time Happy Birthday to Lauren's BFF!

The two babes fighting over the camera. There is a ten month difference between the two.

Kendall is singing "Happy Birthday" with the big kids!

Library Lauren

Today we visited to our local library. (Barnes and Noble will miss us.) Lauren got her own library card and signed up to participate in the summer reading program. Every night after her usual story time she can place a sticker on the chart they provided and after 20 days she gets to turn it into the library for an award and free paperback book. She is really excited! Plus, she just LOVES books.

Lauren was trying to tell Kendall what the book was about.

All Kendall wanted to do was to eat it! "Silly Kendall."

One Silly Kendallishous!

Kendall is a goof ball. And only a Mother can say that about their own child ;-) wink, wink.

She giggles at the sight of the camera!
Still such a drool monster!

We were just debating if we should get rid of her swing since she doesn't use it and it takes up space! I tried her in it one last time and instead of needing to turn on the swing to make it move she grabbed a hold of the bar and swung herself. Giggles and all...

Mother of Two HEAR ME ROAR!

A Mommy's gotta do, what a Mommy's gotta do. Lauren is helping to keep Kendall entertained. Oh yes, I let Lauren sit in the crib with Kendall! In fact, I put her in there. hehehe ;-)
Even better, get two things accomplished at once...bath time!
Splish, splash the girls are taking a bath.

All American Girl

I know I've said this before but I LOVE getting to use things twice! Kendall is wearing Lauren's 1st July 4th T-shirt, "All American Girl." Mommy, take a picture of my foot too ;-)

Weeble Wobble

Our weeble-wobbler is sitting up!

At first the Doctor asked me if she could and I responded only if she is supported and she showed me! Now she has gotten so good at her balance. Not perfect but getting there. This brings on a whole new level of play for her. ;-)

4th Of July Weekend

Happy Independence Day!
We had a weekend full celebration starting with pool, BBQ, and Red, Hot, and Boom fireworks, then a wedding to attend on the 4th with a beautiful firework show from the Westin's rooftop overlooking Lake Eola, and finally more pool and grilling to end it all up!Pool Fun!Oh, Auntie Ney-Ney!Our little fish likes her wings. Even though she has shown us she can do it she tells me that she will swim on her own when she's bigger because it's "dangerous." Slowly we'll deflate the wings...hehe!

Miss Kendall getting her tan on.

Time for Fireworks. Boom, boom, POW!Ti-Ti and KendallThe fireworks didn't startle her one bit!

Kendall getting her crawl on.....well at least trying! Sleeping like a baby....zzzzz
