Monday

After breakfast, the girls and I went outside for a little bit to play. Audrey sat in her swing and watched Kierstin and I blow bubbles. Audrey loved watching the bubbles blow by...she laughed and cheered for the bubbles. Kierstin rode her bike and had fun. We came inside for lunch and then the girls took a nap. After nap time, we went back outside for more fun. Later, we came inside and I got dinner ready. After dinner, D.J. took Kierstin back outside and I gave Audrey her bottle and put her to bed. D.J. and Kierstin were playing outside and Kierstin was making pretty pictures with sidewalk chalk with the little girl next door, Gracie (5 years old). Gracie's brothers, Mikey (3 years old) and Mason (2 years old), also came over to play. All of them play so nice together and they always have so much fun. Next month, Kierstin is going to Mason's birthday party, so she is very excited. Now, Kierstin is heading to bed and then D.J. and I are going to watch 24.

Audrey sat in her booster seat at the kitchen table tonight and she loved it. She usually sits in her bumbo seat on the table, but I thought she was ready for her booster seat. Instead of bringing up the high chair, we are going to use the booster chair for a little while. She also drank from a sippy cup for the first time and did a great job (it had water in it). She was able to sit in her booster seat and pick up the cup and drink from it. Here are a couple pictures:




Kierstin wanted me to take her picture too. She also pointed out several times that she is a good girl and always eats her meals. I must say, she does a very good job eating her food. She is not picky at all and will almost always try something even if she has never had it. She has particular foods that she loves, likes, and doesn't care for, but she will try almost anything and she loves fruit! For her afternoon snack, she ate a whole apple outside while she played. Tonight, she pointed out to me that she was going to clean her plate so that she could have a popsicle. She ate all of her pot roast, broccoli and carrots, applesauce, and some of her mashed potatoes. Good job, Kierstin!
