That's right Kylie had another play day with her cousin Liam! And thank goodness we played the two-baby situation with great teamwork. Melissa, Craig and I had it covered. There was a lot going on in our little house today, besides taking care of two adorable babies we had a poster project to do for Melissa's class and baby food to make for Kylie, laundry to do and a kitchen to clean. Teamwork. We mostly played a zone defense, Craig in the kitchen, Melissa in the living room and me in the dining room. Then sometimes we would have to switch to a man-to-baby defense which left us two-to-once if we had a diaper or eating issue. At one point Craig was being Iron Chef in the kitchen with the Baby Bullet, I was working on Melissa's poster while Liam slept in a carrier on my back. Melissa had Kylie who had just woken up and wanted some nursing time with her mama. What do you do? Teamwork. We found a way to keep Liam asleep on my back while I nursed Kylie and Melissa picked up working on the poster, so smooth. It was a fun day, the kiddos played, ate and napped (well Liam napped, Kylie took one short nap the whole day, she was so tired this evening and still had a hard time staying asleep) we all gained a new level of respect for people who run in-home day care, we outnumbered the kids and still thought it was hard, we couldn't imagine 4-to-1 kids to caregiver situation, those people are amazing.
Kylie is doing her army crawl around the house pretty well now, she surprises us sometimes, like this morning when she made it out of bed and all the way to the living room when she heard Liam arrive. But more then scooting, she LOVES to walk. She is getting better at pulling herself up on furniture and people, then she searches for your fingers, she holds on so tight that your fingers turn purple and she pulls you to walk with her. She just lights up, she is so proud of herself. I think she would walk around all day if we let her, but we are still convinced that crawling is an important skill she needs to learn, Kylie on the other hand is not so sure.
More to come soon,
