Monday, Monday

I successfully kept the house organized and the dishes clean by myself while Craig was at work today. How did I do it? Easy, we went to my grandparents for breakfast and lunch, home for a nap, then to my parents house for play time and dinner, home for bed. Turns out being a house wife is not to hard when you don't spend much time at home ;o)

We had a first last night...Kylie slept in her own bed, without waking up, all night! Around 6:30 this morning she crawled (half asleep) from her bed to ours, she didn't say anything, just climbed in bed and started nursing then fell back to sleep. Cooper fell asleep early in the evening, I put him in his little rock n play while I got ready for bed, he seemed comfy so I moved the rock n play next to our bed and Craig and I actually had the bed to ourselves for a good handful of hours. It was my chance to get really good sleep, but of course I was up checking on both kids about every hour. Then it was my boobs that woke me up, ready to feed a little one but no one awake or hungry.

Breakfast at my grandparents was wonderful, Kylie enjoyed seeing Herald (their turtle) and Cooper enjoyed making cute faces at his great-grandparents. We stayed for some lunch and a little World Cup, my grandparents are big soccer fans, it was fun to watch some of the game with them.

This afternoon we had a scary moment with Kylie (that Kylie has asked us to talk about over and over, I'm sure this will become a "one day" story we relive many times). Kylie was eager to go outside and play in the kiddy pool in my parents backyard. She was standing at their backdoor, patiently waiting for my mom and I to get ready. We were talking to her and asking her to wait for us, my mom walked into the kitchen to get us some glasses of water and as she turned to look, Kylie had pushed open the screen door (while holding a big bowl with her toys in it) and all my mom saw was her feet flying over her head and she fell down the cement stairs. I came running, handed Cooper to my mom and carefully pick up a crying Kylie. We looked her over multiple times and all we could find was a little scratch on her leg. She nursed for a couple minutes and was back on track and wanting to play in the pool. My mom and I were still shaken up for some time, but she seems ok, thank goodness kids are so durable.

We pick up Jill and Mike tomorrow, we are so excited to see them and have them meet Cooper.

More to come soon,

Visiting my grandparents, first time in overalls, so cute!

 I was able to sneak out of bed with enough time to take this sweet photo and get dressed.
Then I walked in to our room and found Kylie and Cooper awake, Kylie was talking to him so sweetly.

 Little Kylie, besides the hair, I think they look a lot alike.
