Brooklyn 6 months

Brooklyn is now like 6 and a half months (NOW is is over 7 months put didn't load pictures till now) but we took her to her appointment when she was 6 months. We have been having the same issue with her weight that we had with Camrie. They both stayed really small. Norah and Brooklyn are 4 months apart and are like the same size. If anything Norah is bigger. She was 12 lbs at 2 months.
Anyway we were way excited to hear that she has hit the chart. Brooklyn is now in the 3% for weight and just below 3% for length. Over all the doctor was pleased because for length to weight she is 50%. She weighed 12 lbs 9 oz. She mostly wears 3 months stuff but I sometimes put her in 6 months stuff just for a change up.
She is such a happy baby but doesn't always show it. She loves to just stare at you and sometimes she will crack a smile.
She is eating baby food now and still make a big mess when she does.
She is and always has been a wonderful sleeper.She can sit like a champ. She mostly wants to sit unless she can get someone to hold her hands then she wants to stand.
I found that I can't use fabric softener sheets on her cloths because it makes her get red patches all over so we have to use liquid kind.
She will get so mad at her toys sometimes when she is playing with them. She will just screech out. which is some of the few times she cries out.
Brooklyn use to do double crunches like this before she was able to sit. She so bad wanted to sit up and not lay in the bouncer or anywhere.

Enjoying the nice weather

(No pictures of anything because some how all my pictures from the last month got deleted )
With it getting so warm outside we have been spending a lot of time outside. We started working in our yard last week.
Took my parents dogs on a walk to the school
Played on the school grounds
Walked to the park around the corner from our house.
More yard work this week. No pictures of out side but Myla and the rest of the family were over so of course we got one of the cousins together.
Sidewalk chalk.
Lots more walking and just being out side.
Saturday when it stormed we headed to the Home and Garden Show so I could dream about the nice weather and what I want to do with my yard.
Norah was over at my parents Sunday so we got a picture of Camrie with her. She is getting so big she could whoop Brooklyn if she wanted to. Sometimes I forget that she is 4 months younger then Brooklyn because they are like the same size.

Camrie's favorite sleeping spot

is now my bed. I put her down for a nap and when I went in to check on her she wasn't in her bed anymore. It was so quiet that I was worried that she was getting into something. As I turned to start looking for her I saw her fast asleep on my bed like this.
(I'll have to get a new picture of this because I lost all my pictures)

She has tried this a few times since this first time but this is not a habit I want her getting into so I don't always let her. Only if Brooklyn is already asleep in their room.

"I see you"

With this new periscope happy meal toy camrie likes to go around saying "I see you". It is probably my new favorite thing to hear.

Valentines

For Valentines day we had Camrie make Valentines for all the family and sugar cookies to go with them.This is her rolling the dough out.

Camrie would hold the rolling pin above her head when she wanted Cam to turn the dough.

Cutting the cookies out.

Sorry no pictures of the finished product but believe me. They were loaded with sprinkles. We delivered Cam's family's Valentines Friday night. We door bell ditched them. (Cam thinks I'm the only person who did that with Valentines. Does anyone else remember doing that as a kid?) Camrie loved ringing the door bell then running and hiding. She just keep saying it over and over again. I gave Camrie her Valentines on Saturday the same way. Then we took my family theirs on Sunday when we went there for dinner and did the same thing again.

Camrie's Valentines outfit. She would not put her toy down for me to take it.

Camrie's Valentine from Nicole.

Saturday night Cam's parents came and watched the girls along with Myla while we went out to dinner. It was nice to get out without the girls. Cam's dad also moved our water heater while he was here. It made our laundry room seem more open. Thanks so much both of you for watching the girls and working on our house.

Random

Brooklyn sitting up to play with her toys on the bouncer.

Camrie taking a nap with Uncle Spencer. Camrie's new thing to do is when we ask her anything that she doesn't want to do she will say "no I two" Us: "you want to go take a nap?" Her: "no I two." Us: "You want to eat?" Her: "no I two." Us: "You want to go?" Her: "no I two."

Front room

Before

I didn't like the white walls. I also didn't like the color on the bay window.

I hated the bear wall paper boarder in the entry way and the gate that was in the way and made a hole in the wall. None of the outlets or switches matched.

After

Painted all the walls a cream color. painted the ceilings.

Took the bear wall paper off and the gate. Put new white outlets and switches.

Scissors

We have been letting Camrie cut things with scissors and she has done a really good job. She picked it up really quick. One day she came down to me when I was doing the laundry. She was so happy with herself. She had cut little slits across the bottom of her PJ shirt. I was glad that it was just her PJ's and not something else.

So I started putting the scissors on the top of the fridge where she couldn't get them. I came into the kitchen and found this. She is no dummie. She pulled the tallest "chair" over to our fridge and stood on her tip toes and reached as far as she could and still wasn't able to get them. Then she called for help "need help".
