1st Half of February

Just a few things going on this first part of February. Raya has her two bottom teeth and I think one on her top may be trying to poke through. She is getting better at standing on her own and will now walk with fingers. Before she would only walk along a couch. She has had an ear infection and is finishing up anitbiotics on that. She still has a cold, so I fear the ear infection will come back (if it has even cleared up). She ways bye bye and will even say it sometimes. She loves to clap and her favorite game is peek-a-boo. She is getting better with her sippy cup. She is a funny eater. When she tries something new, we will give it to her on a fork, she will pull it out look at it, lay it down on the tray, play with it a bit then pick it back up and eat it. She is also a slow eater - Dennis says she is like her cousin Leslie.

Broden has taken 1-2 steps this past month. He will walk very short distances from chair to chair. Daycare claims he took 4-5 steps, but since I didn't see it, I don't count it. He has had a really bad ear infection that will not clear up. He had to get 3 antibiotic shots last week and is going to see an ear specialist on Friday the 12th so he will probably end up with tubes. He is a great eater has not said no to anything and he eats a lot! He has had some sad nights lately -waking up in the middle of the night, but we let him cry it out now that he is no longer sick. I feel awful, but know it is for the best. He will give you kisses which is just his open mouth coming straight at you - so they are pretty sloppy but I love them. I am sure Broden is thinking my Dad is crazy in this picture.
Oh and what to say about Kyrah. She is still as needy as ever - still has to have "Mommy Do It". She likes to bounce, dance, jump - anything that keeps her moving. She does still love to read books which we do every night for 30-40 minutes. She has moved her bedtime back to 7:30 now, the twins go to bed at 7. The odd thing is that even though the bedtimes are always the same someone gets up at 5 every morning and it is always someone different, well it is either Broden or Kyrah, Raya is a good sleeper. So Dennis and I just can't win on the sleeping in front. In this picture, she is doing this thing where we tell her to stand there so we can take her picture she stands for 1/2 a second then runs to me saying "I see Kyrah". So my pictures of Kyrah are always on the go now.

Ohh how they love their night time bottles. We are down to 3 bottles a day. Next week we are going to cut out one more bottle and replace it with a sippy cup. We are widdling down to no more bottles by one year old - woo hoo!!

This is Kyrah having her nighttime snack as a picnic on the floor. She loves having picnics. Just wait until we have one outside this summer.


Finally, Ray, Mommy and Grandma have entered themselves in the 3-generation look-a-like contest at the Ste. Genevieve Memorial Hospital. For anyone kid enough to vote for us, please go to this website and cast your vote.
