happy girl

I just can't get enough of that smile!

dear santa

{Kate is going through a phase where she closes her eyes whenever I take her picture!}

If you can't read the chalkboard in the picture, Kate's letter to santa says:

Dear Santa,

i have been very good.

please bring me a red camaro for Christmas.

Love, Kate

puzzles

Kate loves puzzles. She can do every puzzle we have all by herself in a matter of minutes!

the weekend

Kate started the weekend with pink eye and an ear infection. But, it cleared up after a few doses of anitbiotics and the sisters were able to spend some quality time together.

new gloves

Kate got new gloves.
I think she likes them.

the weekend

Another monday....I didn't take many pictures this weekend. Between looking for my phone that I thought was lost (it was just hiding in my car), discovering that the washing machine has a leak (it is under control for the time being), Liz's constant poop explosions (how can someone so little poop so much?), and Kate being a 2-year old (she insisted on wearing a diaper for a bit on Saturday!), I didn't pick up the camera this weekend.

Random photos from the week.

Sort of smiling!

week 9

Before this week's picture, here are the answers to yesterday's test.

Kate is Picture A; Liz is Picture B.

I can't believe it has been 9 weeks since Liz joined the world! Time is going so fast.

week 9

I think they are already tired of posing for yet another photo shoot.

a test

Picture A

Picture B

Liz or Kate? Can you tell them apart?

Check back tomorrow for the answer!

two months

Liz had her two month check-up yesterday. Here are her stats:

weight: 10 lbs 6 oz (40th percentile)

height: 23 inches (75th percentile)

head: 15 1/4 inches (50th percentile)

For comparison, here are Kate's stats from her two month check-up:

weight: 9 lbs (10th percentile)

height: 22 inches (40th percentile)

head: 14 3/4 inches (20th percentile)

Here is your math problem for the day: when will Liz supass Kate in weight and height?

the weekend: halloween edition

A few pictures from our trick-or-treating adventures!

Dora and Boots were quite restless and less than cooperative by the end of the night. However, as we were driving home, Dora (aka Kate) declared she was ready to trick-or-treat some more. She needed more candy!
