Friends

Have you ever seen those cheesy cards, coffee mugs, prints, etc. that have the poems about "sisters" or "brothers" written in some dramatic font on a pastel background? After some jealous first few months, followed by months of apathy, I think the Worm and the Pear have become friends. Who knows, maybe they'll exchange cheesy cards someday. :)

Now that Michael is old enough to acknowledge Taylor and laugh at her silliness, Taylor pours it on. She's granted him permission to play in her room and even gives him some of her least favorite toys to play with/chew on.

Taylor and Michael on the Pinto swing. He doesn't look too happy, but he was smiling and having a blast until I picked up the camera.

Michael has taken a real liking to Taylor's kitchen set. I think he thinks it's his job to remove every piece of plastic food from the counter and throw it on the floor.

He likes to play peek-a-boo with the refrigerator door.

Taylor really looks out for her little brother's safety. She screams for me anytime he heads for the stairs (which is approximately 98 times per day) and is good about keeping her small toys off the floor. She performs a "choke test" by placing the item in her mouth to see if it can be swallowed. It's hysterical. The Worm has also learned that she is strong enough to move her little brother around. She likes to pick him up now and remove him from danger. This doesn't always go over so well, as the top-heavy (aka big headed) Pear sometimes takes a fall. More than once Taylor has run up to me saying "Sorry Mommy" as I hear Michael crying in the other room.

We've just been going with the flow here with not much new to report. The weather was awesome last week so we spent lots of time at the park, taking walks and hanging out in the yard. We had a dance party tonight in the basement, but Mike has forbidden me from sharing footage. :)

I have lots of random pictures to share. Here goes:

Michael loves Taylor's pinwheel.

Wheeee!

She's such a ham. I picked up the camera and she busted out this pose. You're right Lauri, such a Kellie poser.

X Games 2022?

Michael likes to play give and take now.

Hanging out on Daddy. Michael is huge.

Yes Michael, you are adorable. Drool and all.

Taylor cheesing after a trip to the dentist. She was such a good girl!
There's an old farmer guy at church that just loves Michael. He says he looks like a little cherub. In this picture, I have to agree! During his screaming fits, not so much, haha.

Well, hi there Mommy!

I'm a biased Mom, but I think my kids have great eyes. Both have blue eyes, but the color and shape are completely different.

Michael.

Taylor.



Alright, time to spend some quality time with Mike. Have a good weekend!


Until next time,


Mommy Kel
