Playing

Taylor & Hailey's old babysitter and family came over to play yesterday. They brought her Dora blanket that she slept with at her house so she had to test it out for "nap" yesterday. I am sarcastic because she didn't really nap.. it's a neverending battle some days.




Us girls playing again, as Daddy went snowmobiling Saturday.



Ballerina Taylor

Is Hailey going to crawl?

Nah!

Horsey ride anyone? No, this only lasted for the picture :)

Hugging the princess dolly

Snuggling with Daddy later.

Yes, Hailey is standing alone sometimes.... until she realizes it then she sits down right away.

Hailey's butterfly from Julie. It rolls and flaps its wings when you touch it. Taylor was afraid of the wings to "flap her".

Taylor got a Dora camera.

Welcome Baby Bennett!

Congratulations to Nate, Lisa & Grace welcoming baby Bennett Adam today! He weighs 9 lbs 2 oz and is 22 in long! Looking forward to meeting him :)

Yellow & Cool Chicks

Here was our yellow project yesterday: sun, moon, (although Taylor tells me the moon is really white ;) duckling, giraffe, car, flowers, lemon, bee hive, corn, tractor, and Belle of course.




Hailey was playing peek-a-boo with Taylor while waiting to get in the bathtub.



The kids yesterday. I took a pic for a project we're going to do.



Hailey screaming to get in the tub, she loves it!




and the little clean bundle of baby afterwards...

Taylor got some new sunglasses so they had to try them out last night. Hailey didn't have them for long since she wanted to chew on them, and I didn't want them getting poked in her eye.

and here's the cool chick Taylor this morning in her clothes, snow white dress, and sunglasses :)

Hailey was getting a kick out of it all.

Cookies & Blue

Yesterday the little boy I watch wasn't here, so Taylor and I ventured from our color projects and made cookies. Her old babysitter is coming over tonight so she made her some cut-out sugar cookies "all herself".

Rolled them out.



Drum patted them to make sure they were flat :)



and put on the sprinkles.

Hailey was watching from her high chair, but that got old fast.

Here is our things that are BLUE project today. We've got a train (like Thomas), blue jeans, dolphin and elephant (yes, I realize these aren't really blue in real life but most cartoon ones are and in books), blue bird, waves.. and Taylor's picture also has Snow White because her top is blue, Cinderella, and Ariel because Taylor say the blue ocean behind her. The little boy's picture doesn't have the princesses, he has other blue Thomas stickers instead.

Green

Here's our things that are GREEN project today. We've got a frog, alligator, tree, leaf, pear, turltle, snake, grass, peas, and beans.



Ben had code class last night (every Monday night for 9 weeks starting yesterday) so we had a girls night... indoors of course. Too cold to go anywhere. The girls didn't make it even to their normal bedtime, must've been too much fun :)

I was going to take a picture of Taylor holding her popcorn bowl, was too cute, but she was exhausted.

Hailey was having fun on the piano, another little Beethoven in the family.

A new week

Here was our project today. We did things that are red today and have a different color each day. We have a firetruck, stop sign, lady bug, apple, hearts, strawberry, tractor, then a bunch of other animal stickers of animals that aren't really supposed to be red but the stickers are red.





Taylor and Hailey actually wearing their cute new matching skirts out yesterday instead of just trying them on.




Today was a fun day again. I'm really enjoying having the daycare. We had the 2 year old boy and 2.5 year and 1.5 year old brother and sister for awhile today. Was a lot of playing and activities. Hailey was having fun just watching everyone else.

Another Saturday Gone...

Us girls had a busy day shopping while Ben went snowmobiling. We went to Michaels to find some felt, cardstock, stickets, ribbon and etc for art projects and hairdos, then we met at the mall with a friend and her son. After lots of playing, shopping & eating (met up with some others for a fun lunch) we were pooped. But, of course, I still needed groceries so away we went to the grocery store. Hailey fell asleep as soon as we got in the car, but Taylor pulled another nap strike. She was very excited to tell the checkout guy all about her Daddy snowmobiling and how one day when she gets big she can snowmobile with him. The guy said he thought maybe she was already big enough and she told him no, she needed to be much bigger. :)




Hailey is standing next to stuff already! She gets so frustrated sitting and not moving. I put her on her belly and she'll roll around a bit then get mad because she wants to be standing! I still sit next to her while she's standing, but she rarely will fall. Her other new thing is she loves taking baths! If she even sees a glimpse of the bathtub, she will start screaming if I don't take her over there and show her there's no water in it. If there is water then she's getting in there... somehow. lol, she stiffens out and reaches and babbles away at it.




Oh yes, and there's this new cheesy smile she loves!




Here are the two cuties tonight in the rocking chair.
