Getting Big

Elizabeth and I were actually able to leave the house with just the two of us and Samantha last night. Granted it was just to run to the store and spend 20 minutes waiting to get gas but still...out of the house with only one kid. We took Samantha with us and put her in an upright seat facing forwards for the very first time. I think she kind of enjoyed it.

Last Saturday I took the girls to the park where we had a little fun on the playground and we got to see the Atlanta German Shepherd Club holding a competition. The girls enjoyed seeing all the dogs and watching them actually obey their masters. I also talked them into taking a walk through the woods. Of course that walk allowed me to play 3 or 4 holes of disc golf. Bellow are the girls finishing off on the 18th cage.

Yes you are looking at that correctly...Kaylee and Allison are just about the same height.

Samantha went along for the walk too.

American Idol Warmup

Kaylee put on a small show for us tonight before bed. Notice how she works the audience reaching out to touch all the hands.

Pretty Ears

Our little Kaylee got her ears pierced the other day. It was not a planned occurrence it just sort of happened. We were out at the mall and walked past a store and Elizabeth suggested it. After talking about it with Kaylee she was all excited. There were a few tears immediately afterwards but she was over it quick...mainly once she was given a sucker as a treat.

She loves her pretty ears...

Good Friends

I recorded this video yesterday for a couple of reasons. First off...it's cute! Secondly it is always nice to see how well the girls get along and what close friends they are. I just wanted to get this on tape for future reference when they are ripping each other's hair out because they other has been in the bathroom too long.

It isn't until about a half way in that Kaylee actually notices I am recording.

One Step at a Time

Well Samantha has decided she wants to try this walking thing out. We told her that if she waited any longer that her sisters would beat her. Both Allison and Kaylee were walking by around 10-11 months and Samantha is now 10 months. Well all of the sudden she has started taking some steps on her own.

Here is one...she steps away from the couch then just stops and looks at me for a quick few seconds before collapsing.

Enjoy....we are!
