Kate's MDO class 2010-2011

Alex at 7 months old!!

Alex turned 7 months old this week. It's hard for me to believe he is 7 months old already, that is until I see him crawling and pulling up all over the place!! He sure is a mover!! Mike even said he saw him cruising on the couch yesterday! Also, it seems that the sleep training that I did last week has paid off. He was slept thur the night for the past few nights. Also, he is cutting his first tooth!!

Kate and Alex in the bath TOGETHER!!!

This week for the first time we put Kate and Alex in the bathtub together for the first time!! They both seemed to love it!! Kate even wanted to help wash Alex's hair! So cute!

Kindness of strangers

On Friday I took the kiddos to Zilker park for the first time. This is a wonderful beautiful park in downtown Austin. They have a miniature train that I thought Kate would love to ride. BOY was I wrong!!! She fought me getting on the train and then fought and yelled and almost fell off the train once it started going! How did I keep her on the train AND hold Alex I bet you are wondering, well, due to the kindness of the lady sitting in front of me, who offered to hold Alex for the whole 20 minute train ride--we all made it remaining ON the train!!! She was fine once we got off, but it was a LONG 20 minutes!! Alex loved the train ride and didn't mind at all having a strange lady hold him! He was such a joy that morning at the park! He loves to be outside! Here is Kate on the fire truck at the park:

Kate's dollhouse

It is a rare thing when Kate will let me play with her. One night after Alex was in bed, I pulled all of her dollhouse stuff out of the toy bucket and she put everything in the dollhouse. She put people to sleep in the beds and put people in chairs. I love the Prince on the potty!! She will put the people in the beds, cover them up, and then go turn off the light in the living room and say "night night" to them! Very cute! This is how it turned out:

Alex is after Kate!

Alex is always after Kate!! He is after her shoe in this picture! He is always going after our shoes and Kate's cups! He loves his big sis for sure!

Kate LOVES peanut butter these days! I always catch her opening up her PB sandwich and licking the peanut butter! She now does this with peanut butter crackers:

Not the zoo, but the park

We were supposed to go to one of the Austin zoo's today, but due to Kate not feeling well yesterday and the fit she threw after getting into the car, we just decided to go to a park instead. So we headed to Katherine Fleischer park and had a nice easy morning.
