Kelsey and Everly in a diaper box 
Kelsey trying roller skating (and doing pretty good)
Everly with sweet potato mouth!So, life is much busier with two kids than it was with one. I can't seem to find time for a shower never mind keeping this blog up to date...
Kelsey is as "spirited" as ever. She argues with everything we say, and we won't even talk about her listening skills, but wow, is she smart. She's recognizing all her letters now (out of sequence) and knows the sounds they make, she's able to see patterns and loves playing the rhyming game. She loves to do things to "get our attention" (like she doesn't have it 99% of the time as it is). At the dinner table she puts her feet on the table, we naturally say "Kelsey don't put your feet on the table" and continue with dinner. Then she does is again, one more time we say, "Kelsey take your feet of the table or you'll have a time out." She says, "they're not on the table, they're on my hand that's on the table." - Can't argue with that. She's very active and loves to dance, sing and act. She also loves Princesses. She watches TV (mostly Princess movies) and as she's watching, she's acting out the movie (as it's playing) with her dolls, Barbies or Princess polypockets. She's very theatrical.
Everly is 8 months and doing all the things fun babies should do. We're trying new foods every couple of days and watching her explore eating with her fingers. She loves Cheerios and will eat them by the handful! We're finding Cheerios stuck to everything in the house. She's also a steamroller, covering the entire living room in a matter of a few minutes. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks, sometimes pushing forward. But no official crawling yet. She's also so close to pushing up to a sitting position from laying on the floor, but is not quite there. She's very vocal and loves watching Kelsey dance and sing (any kids!). She still only has 2 teeth with no signs of any new ones.
Life is busy in our little house...but we're truely blessed!
