Spending time being silly!!!

Life has sort of takin on a much needed steady beat over the past week. We've been able to spend a little extra time takin life in, and appreciating our silly-hearted little girls! Who couldn't love these little "free-spirits"?

Yes! Katelin shows Nurturing Skills!!

Ever since Katelin was small, she hasn't really spent a whole lot of time nurturing her little dolls, and playing house. She'll play dress up and dance- but never really play's house. So I have worried, even when we brought Cozy home from the hospital, Katelin didn't seem interested. However, today, Katelin took over and decided she was going to help Alecia become Potty Trained! So here she is!!! I was so relieved!

"They way to get into a crib"- by Alecia Pugh!

Over this Martin Luther King weekend, Emily and Dale asked us to watch their kids while they went to Minnesota. We were getting ready for two extra girls and needed to put the pack and play up in Alecia's room for Cambria. It didn't take Alecia long to perfect the entry into the crib! (Mind you, Alecia has been in her "big girl bed" for almost a month because she kept climbing out of her crib!)

You've got to watch this movie- it is great!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was great- but I think the age of our kids makes all these little occasions so much fun!

First, here's Alecia with her plate full of food, (she's the best eater out of the Taylor Grandkids!)
Look how happy she is!!!

Then of course, there's our annual "Magic Christmas Tree" taste test! (The Taylor trees are all from the Magic Forest and magically grow candy canes every day during the Holiday's!)



Yes! Cozy has just recently learned to "Cheese!"


What adorable cousins! Aren't I a lucky girl???

Is something missing from Coz?

Yes, today when I went in to get Alecia up from her nap- she was naked from the bottom down. I told her if she did it again, she was going to have to get potty trained. I sure told her! Just Kidding! Gotta love the stages of life!

Don't mess with the Coz!

Cozy is not quite 17 months old yet, but she is a spit fire. Today at Daycare she went down the slide and sat at the end of it with her arms folded and her face stating, ' If you want me to move, you gonna have to make me!' Well all the little kids were telling her to move, so Tonya had to finally come and move her- what a pill!!!

Should we tell her she's backwards?

I feel like I have had a lot of pictures of Coz lately- but she's done so many crazy things. When I saw her getting into the old walker backwards, I wondered if I should correct her, but then I saw she liked so I thought, 'Why spoil her fun!'

Yes, she can climb!

So, Alecia has been throwing these major melt down temper tantrums! So I have been putting her in her room for 1 minute. She quickly forgets why she is in there and makes her own fun! Well, in 60 seconds, she figured out how to climb to the top of the changing table. Then she got stuck once in the middle! Needless to say, we disassembled the changing table, so she won't break a leg while she is in "time out!"

Cozy's Personality!

So, I have to say that I love the girls' day care provider! Her name is Tonya Fails. Her family adores my girls, and our families have become great friends. I especially love that Tonya shares stories about my girls and the cute things they do. Among the most recent: (Well to get you up to speed, a few weeks ago Alecia was bit by a kid from day care, so this is her revenge!) This boy, the offender, was playing with something that Alecia really wanted to play with. So, Alecia didn't hit, she didn't bite, or scream. She just turned her back to him as he was playing on the floor. Well, she started backing up on him, (literally on him,) until he was backed out of the way and she got what she wanted! What a smart little girl!

What a happy girl!!

Just look at this cute girl! She is really a great little girl- easy to please. Don't worry she still throws her fits and holds her own with her big sister- but she is usually content!
