What we've been up to....
Laying in the grass with daddy in the evenings looking for airplanes
Running around in the grass after dinner
Talking to Daddy about our day
Looking like Daddy
Talking to Kate
Snuggling Momma (please excuse my non-showered self!)
Being cute!
Memories I never want to forget...
*A couple weeks ago Macy Brooks randomly switched from calling me 'Momma' to what sounded like 'Money'. I worked with her a few days on that second 'M' sound and now she only says 'Mommy'. I thought I liked hearing 'Momma,' but I LOVE hearing 'Mommy!'
*MB is constantly running around saying "Mommy, where are you?" "Excuse me Mommy," "There it is!", "Thank you Mommy," "Mommy, Look!" Tonight I was rocking Macy Brooks and she said. "Oh, Mommy Kate is crying." I told her "Kate is ready for night night." And she replied "Kate is ready for night night, oh well me too!" It is very fun communicating with her and listening to all the new language developments that occur daily!
*Kate is turning into such a happy baby (once all her needs are met)! Today she played on the playmat for 20 minutes just kicking her feet and smiling. I hate to say it, but there have been many times I've described her as a 'screamer', turns out it has just taken me a little longer to get to know her. I now know what her cries mean and what she needs when. She is doing great!
*Kate really wants to coo and talk, but can't quite get the sounds out yet. Won't be long!
*We'll be playing or wrestling or tickling and Macy Brooks will say "stop it Daddy" it's adorable!
*Whenever we meet a friend for lunch or at the park or even if a stranger comes to talk to us, the first thing out of Macy Brooks' mouth is 'Kate' while she points to her sister. It's like she's introducing her. Very sweet. When we get in the car to go somewhere, MB always asks me if I have Kate or if she's coming. She's being the best big sister! I pray they will always get along and be best friends.
*Contemplating potty training. I can't decide if it's good timing, just because when a 2 year old says they have to go potty you have to drop what you're doing and take them right away. Not sure if that's doable with a newborn. After nap today she ran around with no diaper for the rest of the night and did go in the potty. Denny and I of course made a big deal! She has done it several times, just not consistently. After she went to the potty, I sat down and went. Before I knew it, she was cheering for me; clapping her hands and telling me good job! She even yelled to Denny and said "mommy going potty, yea". It was hilarious and awesome!
*Anytime Kate sneezes Macy Brooks is quick to say "Bless you Kate." Warms my heart every time!
*And one of my favorites I never want to forget is how loving Macy Brooks is right now. She's constantly hugging and loving on every one in the family. She will randomly come up to me and kiss my arm. I tell her all the time how thankful I am that she is so loving.
I LOVE THESE GIRLS!!! OH AND MY HUSBAND TOO:)

I think Kate looks like Macy as a baby...do you hear that a lot? Glad to hear Kate is coming around. Our twins were both colicky/screamers too!!! Talk about just surviving for two months...glad that stage is over! Love the update...
SO sweet! Sienna just started calling me mommy instead of momma as well! Love it!
Love this! Was just thinking the other day how I need to start making a list of Unforgettable Moments. Yesterday's encounter would've topped it...at the playground I said, "Can you say I love you?" and Garrett leaned in to give me a kiss. Melt my heart. Glad you all are doing well! At the beach this weekend with my parents and Linds and Brandon:)
