Just kidding mom...

It looked like this when I was taking pictures of Kayla...

...see, pretty cleaned off!

6 Weeks today!

I just got off the phone with my mom and we were trying to think of ways that I might be able to get my kitchen cleaned up in the mornings so it doesn't look like a bomb went off :)  Yes, it really does.  While I chatted with her, i picked up most of the dishes, actually put them in the dishwasher, cleaned the high chair trays and made a large enough spot on the counter where I could make lunch.  Then Joe's gma stopped over and said she would take the girls to her side (we live in a conjoined house for those who don't know, with a hallway through the basement).  Anyways, since I had a little time, I thought I could use it to get my kitchen picked...who am I kidding, I took some pics of little Kayla instead.

So cute!

At 6 weeks I love: eating...being held...having a bath...my sisters...I don't mind tummy time
At 6 weeks I despise: laying on my back and putting myself to sleep...I'd rather be rocked :)

I wear 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers already.  I slept last night from 9:15-5am!!!  Woohoo!

so big!

Lys came over last week Friday to help play with the girls...and get Kayla dressed properly

Kenzie's best friend, I swear it would come inside if I opened the door (an didn't have Maddie)

Kayla Update...

One month old already!  We went to the dr. last week Tuesday for her 1 month check-up.  She weighed in at a whopping 12lbs 1.5oz!!!  I checked the girls baby books and Khloe hit 12 lbs at 3 months and Kenzie not until 5 months.  No wonder she's already rocking the 6 month sleepers.

Things she loves:
being held up on the shoulder
eating...all.the.time!
sleep sacks so she can kick her feet
her sisters

Things she dislikes:
laying on her back
naps
having to fall asleep on her own...spoiled, yup
baths

She rolled over at 3 weeks from tummy to back. I'm pretty sure that she got her head outside of her balance zone and her body just followed suit, but it was still shocking.

And of course, we can't forget the big sisters!  They are almost 18 months old and love life just like their mommy!

"O holy night..."

We even threw in a game of peek-a-boo, as if balancing on stools and tv trays wasn't enough!

Finally got a pony to stay in

at least for a few minutes

"It's still there, let me help you"

Love from all the K's

Progression...or not

We have been working on feeding ourselves with silverware lately.

Favorite foods: 

Khloe- sweet potatoes, broccoli, yogurt, halo oranges, toast, eggs  dislikes- meat

Kenzie- yogurt, halos, toast, raisins, grapefruit, fried eggs 

Kayla- milk :)

Usually, I fill the spoon/fork, hand it to each girl and pray they get it in their mouth before it drops all down the front of them.  But today, I felt like I had extra patience, so I thought I would let them try it for themselves.  Notice how well each girls starts:

Khloe loves to tip her spoon upside-down before getting it to her mouth...note to self, find stickier foods!

Look Nana, I'm wearing a bib!

My finger is easier and less mess than my spoon mom, trust me...

In fact, I think I'll just drink it.

Kenzie does great at bringing the spoon to her mouth upright,

Until she watches her sister (notice the eyes, clearly watching Khloe drink her yogurt)

Mom, if Maddie and Khloe do it, so can I!

 The girls are 17 months now, they love to talk to each other, scheme with each other, empty drawers, toothbrushes, and their baby sister!  Khloe loves to give hugs and reach blindly on any counter/drawer she can get to.  Kenzie loves her little sister, taking whatever Khloe pulls off the counter, and running away from daddy.

 This morning, Kayla and I went to church!!!  She did great!  However, like her sisters, she doesn't like to sleep in her car seat and after 5 minutes was awake.  She did fall back asleep in my arms and made it through almost the whole service.  In her defense, we had baptism and communion.
