This and That + UPDATE

These little girls keep me on my toes, that's for sure. I like to spy on Amaryllis when she's playing. When she is in total play mode, her conversation and words are complete nonsense because it seems she has so much to say to her little toy friends that it just spills out at once.

She pretty much speaks in full sentences and has been throwing in filler words like "I JUST want to sit here at MY house and play, ok?" which makes her seem even more grown up.

Yesterday she told me I looked divine. I was flattered. It is nice to have someone around to tell you things like that. Thanks to Fancy Nancy for extending her pretty vocabulary.

Kensington is full on crawling and exploring. One by one, the ornaments on our tree are being moved up out of her grasp (other ornaments have been mysteriously rearranging too and I bet I know who is doing it on the sly). STILL no laughing or giggles. Torture me please?

One of my besties from high school in Atlanta came to visit. She would come over every Sunday and take a Sunday Nap and eat Sunday Dinner at our house growing up. I can't believe how old we are and that we had babies on our hips in this photo.




I feel like time is just flying by and I want it to stop, but here we are with yet another Christmas storming in. Christmas presents this year are seriously stressing me out! I remember back in July I thought about doing all the shopping but then wondered if that would kill the Christmas mood. Now I wish I had---so I can just sit back and enjoy the holiday spirit.



Oh well, we'll see what gets done. If you don't get a present or a photo card then don't be offended :)

UPDATE

I was sad I had only 3 pictures from the past few weeks. But iPhone to the rescue!

KenziDayle, with her sick tired eyes, is exploring but she isn't as curious as Amaryllis was at this age. She hardly even empties out the tupperware cupboard (I always have to dump stuff out and show her how to be messy.)


Here is the coolest swing ever. Sweet ride.


Crazy Amaryllis off in imagination land...


Mom, you asked how Sophie is doing. Some days I'm sure she wants to run away instead of being tortured by Amaryllis, and now Kensington who crawls over and grabs her face and they makeout.

But somedays I come into the room and see them like this. I haven't told AV that Sophie isn't allowed on the couch, because once I do I know it will just be a battle of will. But this has only happened twice, and it's so cute that I let it slide :)

(Look how guilty and busted sophie looks...)
