Cuddle Cats

To say that Kelli loves to be able to play with kittens is a huge understatement! She enjoys them so much and its just so funny to see her try and entertain them... she'll say, "come on kitties!" and run away and expect them to come running after her. Well her dream came true when she was watching a movie on her "chair" and they both came up and snuggled with her. Duke (the one with white paws) was over it pretty fast, but Oscar stayed for a little bit longer. Here are some snap shots of that!

TWINS??

Well, not quite. We adopted two male kittens over the weekend. I hear you aren't suppose to make any huge changes while you're pregnant. ha ha. Oh well. They are so cute. They are brothers and look almost alike. One has white feet and one has brown. We went to just get one and when they handed us both of them and asked which one we wanted, we couldn't decide. So Danny decided we'd better get both! Plus when they told us they are best friends and sleep together and cuddle and play all the time together, it was like ripping my heart out. The push over that I am, I went ahead and got both of them. They are so much fun and Kelli just loves them to death. So far she's been soft and hasn't really tried to pick them up or hurt them. She wants them to be with her wherever she goes and I'm sure sooner or later they will start to follow her every move. We are excited about the new addition and are looking forward to watching them grow and to see Kelli interact with them as well. Wish us luck! The one with the white feet we named, Duke. And the one with the brownish feet we named, Oscar.

It's a GIRL!!!

Well, we had our doctors appointment a couple weeks ago and the doctor confirmed that we are having another beautiful girl! We are so excited that Kelli is going to have a sister close in age. Danny was especially excited cause we could use a lot of Kelli's old clothes! Save money... ha ha. We are really excited for her to join us in August and look forward to seeing what she looks like. Here are some pictures of her..

The top picture is of her belly, head, and spine. You can really see the spine along the bottom. And the bottom is a picture of her hand, and then of her two cute little feet. She's definatly getting really active and starting to really keep me up at night either from moving around a lot or sleeping on my bladder!! It's so much fun!!

Amazing!!

This is Kelli eating her lunch one day.. she is by far the worst eater EVER! It's a joke in my family because once Kelli is done eating, we have to bust out the vacuum and mop. No joke. Well, she was eating lunch and she didn't make a huge mess! We had to document this joyous landmark in her life. It only happened once, but still.. Once is better than never right? She always has a fork or a spoon next to her plate, but she can't seem to get quite enough food on it so she uses her hand to fill her fist up with a handful of food to shove into her face. After every meal..... is a bath, or going through a lot of wet wipes to get her looking decent! She's so cute though, and look at those Long, Wavy Locks. Its all natural.

Note: She still made a mess, but I only had to use a wet rag to clean it up. There are some battles I'm willing to have with a 1 year old but eating clean isn't one of them... she'll learn later when she gets older. You can always clean up a mess, but having a quiet meal while she enjoys herself, is worth cleaning it up afterwords to me.

"Yee-Haw"

Kelli loves to ride on her rocking chair and I walked in on her saying, "yee haw!"..... then I noticed that she was holding her baby. She just doesn't want any of her lil' friends to miss out on all the fun things she does. You should see her rock out on this horse! She's gone all the way forward on it cause she's rockin' so hard. She also now knows the lyrics to, "home, home on the range"... its the song the horse plays when you are riding it.

In the bottom picture she's yelling at me to "sit down".... she now loves to perform!

Kelli and Cookie

As I've once told you all, Kelli is obsessed with her Cookie Bear. She was watching cartoons and she went and got her chair from her room and a "blanket/towel" to wrap up cookie bear. She told me it was "cold".... even though outside it was about 60 deg. ha ha. She's going to be a great older sister. She is so into caring for her babies and 'Cookie bear'.

Best Friends

Kelli and Tyler played so well together on our trip to Cali. When we got home, every time we'd pass a little boy in the store she'd start yelling.."TYLER!!!!" and when the boy wouldn't respond Kelli would get so heart broken, and look at me like.."whats going on?" She looks at pictures of Danny's family all the time and goes through everyones names but she gets so excited when she sees Tyler. Here is a candid shot of the two of them on the swing in the backyard... it's a rare oppertunity to get both of them sitting for longer 2 seconds.... Hence.... all the toys piled up. Thanks Tyler for playing so well with Kelli. We miss you all so much!!
