First Comes Love...

Haircuts=terrified toddlers

Kate was crying, and so out of exasperation, I said, "Kate, stop crying and whining, you can't cry all day!". Then Taylor informed me, "Mom, babies cry and whine, that's what they do." (And of course, this comes from the girl, who when Kate makes any peep, is always telling her, "Kate! That's enough!)

T: Mom, do you know why big girls cry?

M: No, why?

T: Because they need help finding they ballerina outfits.

(If only that were the only reason..)

I bought some new curlers for Taylor's stick straight hair. At first, she was not interested in wearing them, and so one morning, I tried talking her into it, telling her that her Aunt Macey would help us, and that she could have curly hair just like Aunt Macey, but it wasn't working. So a couple hours later, Macey called and asked us to come over. So I asked Tay if she wanted to go (and remember, we hadn't talked about the curlers again for several hours), and she responded with a resolute "No". She almost never doesn't want to go over to Grandma/Macey's, so I checked again. Still, NO. So I asked why, and she said "I don't want to go over there because I know if you make me go over there, you and Macey are gonna make me put those curlers in my hair, and I don't want to!!" I started laughing, because she caught me so off guard, to which she responded, "Do you think that's funny mom?? Because its NOT FUNNY!"

What a character!!

Kate Update...

Kate is 4 months now, and weighs in at 14.5lbs, and 25 inches long. She pretty much sleeps through the night, which is awesome!! She is an early bird, but she's a very happy one..She can hold her head really well, and is getting close to sitting up. She smiles and laughs, and LOVES Taylor. Taylor is the only one who can getting her laughing hard. She's teething, and so I sure hope those things break through here pretty quick so she won't be sad, but in general, she is a really happy good baby, and we love having her in our family!!
