Monday night blogging

Kirsten got this pair of shoes from her Nana last spring. In June, when she realized she could put them on herself, they quickly became her favorite pair of shoes. She has had at least 8 different pairs of shoes since she got this pair, all of which have been ripped off her feet and replaced by these purple croc imitations. Even when the previous pair match her outfit and these clash terribly. I've tried hiding them, but she hunts them down. They are the only pair of shoes she doesn't rip off as soon as we get in the car (even when she is bored enough to take them off she then lovingly holds them until its time to put them back on and get out of the car). She wears them to bed and tries to wear them in the bathtub. They are a size too small now and I am letting her wear them everywhere before I retire them for the winter.
Farewell favorite pair of shoes.

I got some adorable pictures of Audrey smiling today. She is so smiley and happy. She coos and laughs all the time. fyi: her tummy is VERY ticklish

 Most days around 3:30 I am loading my girls into the car to head to a local park to play until Kirk gets off work. Kirsten's favorite are the swings. Swings first, then slides, then back to the swings before going home. I love these pictures, I think they show the joy of swinging perfectly!

My little mama!!!

Kirsten Sue is the cutest little girl. She absolutely loves the movie Cars, no matter how many times I try to put in Cinderella or Little Mermaid! And airplanes, she could live outside just to watch the airplanes fly by. But she loves her baby dolls the most. She always has at least one in arm. Baby dolls are treated pretty well around here. They get bathed, fed, tummy time, noses wiped, diapers changed, swaddled and put down for a nap, buckled into car seats, and even assisted in blowing us kisses goodnight. Yes Kirsten sue takes very good care of her baby dolls.

2 months

(I've officially decided a car seat is the best position to take pictures of babies...next time I will use a blanket or sheet to make it look prettier, no worries)

We went to the doctor yesterday
Kirsten is in the 33% for her weight and 95% for her height
Weighing in at almost 24 lbs and 35 1/2 inches...she is consistently tall and skinny
Audrey is in the 83% for her weight and 80% for her height
Weighing in at 12 1/4 lbs and 23 1/4 inches...you go girl!
Both girls got their shots. Kirsten cried for 30 seconds. Audrey cried for 15 minutes...she's such a girl! When Kirsten got her two month shots I sat and held her and cried (long after she was done crying). When Audrey got her shots she immediately started screeching and turned Santa Claus red...it was all I could do to keep from laughing. I think she was more offended that we gave her the shots than anything. Oh the drama!

If you are wondering if Kirsten pooped while we were in waiting room you are correct. Did I have any Kirsten diapers or wipes with me? No (remember how she poops way more than she used to and I'm not used to stocking my purse every time we leave the house)! Did I raid the doctors cabinets and drawers for diapers and wipes while waiting for him? Yes! Did I carry around a stenchy stenchy diaper in my purse for the next 1/2 hour? Yes I did. Because I'm a mom and that's what moms do.

Halloween 2009

For Halloween this year Audrey was the "good" witch

and Kirsten was the "wicked" witch.

they were stinking adorable!
(yes Kirsten is hiding Audrey's face under the witches hat)

I was a witch too and Kirk was a biker (ya with his moped, funny I know)

We celebrated with my Aunt Colleen, who went all out for my little family. She really is the greatest! Everyone needs an Aunt Colleen!!! Then we met up with some friends for some good ole fashion trick or treating. It took no time flat for Kirsten to appreciate going door to door and getting candy. Her favorite house gave out dum dum suckers. She kept grabbing the sucker out of her bucket, wanting to eat it. It was the first piece of candy to vanish. We went back to my friends house for post trick or treating fun. If you are wondering if Kirsten pooped on my friends carpet you are correct. The joys of being parents. We had a fabulous Halloween!
