The Kit Kat....

Carter decided that him and Kate should match today. My friend gave this to Kate for her shower and it finally fits. Carter has been asking to have Kate wear it for a year and a 1/2!
Kate is always smiling but seems to refuse to when I get the camera out...
Although she will say CHEESE....Not really the smile I was going for though!
Normally when I start to see blankets and pillows flying off the balcony into the family room I know a fort is being built AKA a HUGE mess I will have to clean up in 10 minutes. But to my pleasant surprise this is what I found....
Carter & Kate are so cute together (92%) of the time. It is so fun to watch their little relationship grow. All I can say is Kate is going to be one tough chick, she love, love, loves when Carter tackles and chases her. Look out!


Notice the cute Piggies are out! Girl hair is the pits!
This morning Kate did what I knew was coming...she is a TOTAL monkey and yep this morning she leaped/jumped/flipped/fell out of her crib. Luckily she was fine, no real damage but a little wind knocked out of her. So this morning we went and picked up a new addition:
THE CRIB TENT!
She thought it was awesome....
Carter thought it was pretty cool too..."Sweet, come on mom let's zipper in!"
She seemed totally okay with the new remodel to her crib!
Then she put it to the test...first order of business....turn it into a bounce house!
Yep, here she is mid bounce...we'll see if it holds up!
I can hear no more bouncing upstairs so after just a brief 30 minutes I think she has finally gone down for her nap! Carter was almost 2 1/2 when he made the jump out of his crib, Kate is only 21 months.....That is not so good! Another child with lots of....."Energy!" How did we get so lucky? Kody and I lay in bed a night completely exhausted from chasing/refereeing the kids and think "WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG? It has got to be something in our parenting to create 2 such "highly enthusiastic" children, right!
Maybe in 10 years when we have our next one it will be shy and hover by my leg....here's hoping!
