playing dress up, pigtails, potties and other random tidbits ...

It has been so hot recently, so between the heat and illness we have been spending a lot of time inside trying to stay cool & get healthy. Here are some pictures from our indoor adventures over the course of the past week.

The girls love reading ... this remains one of their favorite activities and they can entertain themselves quite well. Love Kenzie's pose :)

Tobi hasn't been feeling very well lately and the girls have been especially sweet to their brother. They both snuggle up to him and give him hugs and kisses when he's down. Lexi has also started to help feed Tobi. When she notices that his food bowl is empty she will pick it up and carry it over to the door where his food is. After we fill it up she puts it back where it belongs, beaming with pride :)

The girls have started to enjoy playing dress up. They love putting on hats, tutus, capes and most recently have discovered my high heels. Loving Lexi's little pigtails :)

The girls aren't talking much yet, but they are starting to expand their vocabulary a bit. Lexi has more real words than Kenzie, but Kenzie will babble so adamantly that you swear she is saying something profoundly important ... " a wheee a wheee a whaa?!" Lexi's favorite words beyond dadda and momma are cheese and shoes. Girl knows what she likes :)

We picked up a potty at the Target the other day, just to start exposing the girls to the idea. Apparently I potty trained myself in 1 day at the age of 18 months after watching my slightly older friend use the potty. Not that I am expecting my daughters to do the same, but a girl can dream right? :) So far they really enjoy sitting on the potty but nothing beyond that has happened.

Kenzie and Lexi are interacting with one another more and more each day. A common part of their daily routine now includes "sister wrestling", which starts with hugs and kisses, then transitions into full on body tackles and lots of giggles, and often ends with kenzie crying as lexi is the more aggressive one when it comes to this sport. While i don't like it when it ends in tears, it sure is cute to watch the giggle stage :) Love my girls more and more each day!
