The kiddos

My baby girls are growing up. I mean, I'm sure everyone that has kids says that...but it's just so sweet to see them changing. Karis, 21 months, has such a sweet spirit. When you ask her to come give you a kiss she giggles and runs away, but we have found her soft spot...we give her the poochy lip and sniff like she hurt our feelings and she comes RUNNING over to make us feel better with a great big kiss and squeeze around our neck. SO SO CUTE! She absolutely is in love with her Daddy, and Daddy sure does love that, especialy since Halee is Mommy's girl. Halee, 3 yrs, is just hilarious. She is my little helper...the 2nd mom in our family. "Daddy, you have to finish your work before you can watch TV", "Don't tell me 'dont' momma", "MOMMY, Kiki turned on the TV", "But Daddy said I could...". And they both adore their little brother...they fight about who gets to kiss Jett, and feed Jett, and give Jett his pacifer. Some days the two of them absolutely can't get enough of eachother and I barely see them because they are back in their play area playing house or pushing their walmart cart. Other days...oh my goodess...they are worst enemies. I feel like I shouldn't even have them in the same room, no the same level of our 3 level townhouse, because they hit, bite, pull hair, take eachothers toys.

Jett is my...well...right now he's my "non-sleeper". And me, I love to sleep. He gets it from Jake, Jake can stay up forever...I don't know how he can lay in bed and NOT go to sleep. As soon as I hit the pillow - I'M OUT. So Jett will nap for 30 min and wake up. Then be up for 3 hours and repeat. I'm trying to get him to take a nice afternoon nap bc that's what the girls and I are used to. Not happening right now. He's already 15 lbs of pure boy! He is lovin' life - smiling and coo-ing all the time. Definitely a momma's boy thankfully!

I'm so thankful for my family. All 5 of us are so blessed!
