Cooper is chewing on his tongue and I went back to the BI.

Back to the Brandin' Iron tonight! It felt so wonderful to get back to teaching and dancing! Craig was a rock start dad and got both kids bathed (including a redo when Cooper pooped in his bath), they also took a walk down to Ama and Papas where Kylie enjoyed there new artificial grass. She ran back and forth from there deck, pretending it was her stage and singing at the top of her lungs. I think we might have a performer on our hands :o)

She has also been insisting on changing her clothes a couple times a day. She will say "why I change my clothes?" "I don't know" I say. "Because I love to change clothes." Good enough reason I guess. She is also enjoying brushing her teeth. Today she woke up from her nap and climbed out of bed, went straight to her sink put tooth paste on her tooth brush and came walking in to the living room brushing her teeth and smiling (and drooling all over the place, fun).

Cooper also started another cute thing yesterday, chewing on his tongue. He holds it to his left and just goes to town, we are wondering if he might be starting the teething process, there has also been a lot of drool. We put his amber necklace on tonight, we will see if it helps :o)

Yesterday I worked, Cooper got to come visit me while Marta, Ama and Papa helped out with Ky. We bought my matron of honor dress yesterday, yay! Can't believe Melissa's wedding is coming so soon. We also hosted Tabitha, Elizabeth (Tabitha's mom), Portia and Nico for dinner last night. Craig made an amazing dinner and we enjoyed a big family meal. There are often moments when I am proud to call Craig my husband, and yesterday was defiantly one of them. Not every husband would throw on the Moby wrap and wear the baby down town while taking the 2 year old to story time, or be willing to pack up the baby in the car and drive across town for the baby to nurse, and then be willing to fix a truly delicious dinner for friends that his wife wanted to invite over. I am truly a lucky woman.

My superhero husband goes back to work tomorrow, we will miss him and look forward to him walking in the door tomorrow night.

Good night for now,

Natalie

P.S. Cooper also started another cute thing yesterday, chewing on his tongue. He holds it to his left and just goes to town, we are wondering if he might be starting the teething process, there has also been a lot of drool. We put his amber necklace on tonight, we will see if it helps :o)

Portia decided to sit on Kylie's lap before dinner and Kylie decided it was a good opportunity to read her a book. 

Daddy reading Coopie Brown Bear for the first time...he was a little unsure of the big, scary bear.

One of Daddy's favorite things to do with Kylie is cook! He measures out all the ingredients in to little bowls and sets it up like a cooking show. Kylie gets to add all the ingredients and "stirn" (stir and turn put together) it all together.  She loves it! Today she made pancakes and daddy let her add as much Cinnamon as she wanted, they turned out really yummy.
