A Big Week

Papa Tom turned 60!! Happy Birthday Papa Tom!

Also, the girls started at their new daycare/preschool. I get a sheet every day telling me how things went for each of them, what they ate (and how much), how much they slept, etc.  Connor is easy - she did great.  I was worried how Taylor would adjust, but she also has done super.  It helps that they did an art project on the very first day...they made a 'Cee-Pock'.  Ahem...Peacock.  I'm incredibly happy with the whole thing, and we are even happier that the girls seem to like it too. T already has friends, and a little boy named Braden whose somewhat smitten with her...that won't last long once she starts bossing him around.  I have no idea where she gets that. 

Anyway, obligatory first day of school picture:

I'll have a gin & tonic and 1 organic milk, please....

So...A lady in town is upset because the owner of a local establishment (restaurant/coffee shop by day turned into bar at night) told her he thought it was inappropriate for her to bring her 11 month old son to the bar at 11:00 pm.  This has exploded in hippie-town, and even migrated into a breastfeeding debate.  But the root of the article is this: should kids (infants) be allowed in a bar at 11:00 pm?? 

No. No they shouldn't.  That's the answer from this house....besides, can you imagine taking these two there?  I mean, this one would try to get everyone to play hopscotch:

Or shove obnoxious amounts of fruit in her mouth

And this one would lick everyone/everything and try to pull hair

Nine Months

I took Connor to her 9 month appointment Wednesday, and she is now a whopping 17.7 pounds and 27.75 inches long.  Such a little fry!

We've been working on more finger foods, and avocado was one of them.  Connor heard that avocado was great for your skin - so she not only ate it, but tried the topical approach.  It was a lovely mess.

And this little butterfly...she's so funny lately. 

Exciting news though, we are starting at a new preschool/daycare on June 28th!  I'm very excited and Taylor is too.  The program Taylor will be in is more like a pre - preschool...and Connor will have a room just for her little same age buddies.  You even have to take off your shoes before you go in the infant room - what a change!  She may be spoiled though when she gets home...I'm pretty sure our floor doesn't stay that clean.

Connor also started crawling, and it's craziness.  She has no depth perception, so she's ready to go down the stairs, out of our arms, off the bed at any minute.  Right, I know, watch your kid.  Got it.

Just a little lazy...

I hope you don't come here for the fancy backgrounds or witty commentary....'cause you are going to be sorely dissapointed with this post.

Drooler.  Maybe we'll have teeth in the next month.

Ellie graduated from Journalism School at KU, and she took Taylor (and us) on a tour of the building most of her classes were in.

That's it for now.
