I can't believe it has been 4 weeks already! Time is flying by. We had visitors from Alberta here for almost a week. It was great seeing them again! Carter had lots of fun with Kaylan and asks for her daily now. She is 10 weeks younger then Carter. We are slowly getting back into a routine. Carter started gymnastics last week. He loves it. It might give me a heart attack (who knew trampolines could be so dangerious?) but he is having lots of fun. He is in it until January. We decided to wait until Oct./Nov. to put Carter back in swimming lessons. Kinley can't go until January, but we will be taking her to the pool after her 2 month shots!
We are taking Kinley to the health unit on Monday to see how much she weighs. Everyone keeps telling me how big she is looking, but I still think she is tiny. That could have to do with the fact that she is around Carter all the time, so most kids look small in comparision. Kinley is starting to follow me with her eyes. She is also turning into a mommy's girl. She seems to only want me when she is fussy...... I am going to enjoy it for now :)
I am trying to take pictures often because they grow so fast and I remember there isn't a lot of baby pictures of me and I don't want Kinley complaining like I do :)
Carter has been full of kisses lately. What a different little boy. He likes to give Kinley kisses, we just have to keep an eye on him as he isn't always that gental. (It's the thought that counts, right?!) We went to family gym yesterday and it was quite the improvement over the spring. Essentially they fill a gym with balls, push toys, obstical courses, and anything else they can think of, and let the kids go wild. In the spring we had to always keep a very close eye on Carter. In fact, we always had to be within arms reach. Carter was working on sharing.....well we were, he wasn't! Yesterday we both had so much fun. I put Kinley in our Moby wrap (kind of like a sling) and that way I had both hands free. Kinley slept and Carter played. The best part was, I didn't have to clean up a big mess at the end! Carter did fantastic waiting his turn. I needed to remind him a few times, but he is 2, that is normal. It was the first time I felt like I could stand back and let him play without feeling like he was going to push someone over. YAY Carter!
Fall has set in here. Last Sunday is was +29 and today it is +12 and raining. We are still managing to get out for at least one walk a day. Some days we take the double stroller and somedays I put Kinley in the wrap and Carter in the stroller. They are doing some construction around the corner from us....talk about a dream come true for Carter. The construction workers were great with Carter the other day. They stopped and talked to him. The guy driving the dump truck stopped and waved to Carter. We saw the backhoe dump dirt into the big hole. I was asking Carter what trucks he saw (because he knows all their actual names...apparently they aren't all diggers) and he said, 'big dump truck, backhoe, bobcat, and roller'. I told him, 'No there wasn't a roller today'. Then a construction worker inturrupted me to tell me, yes there was a roller down the street I must have not seen it. Carter saw it! When it comes to trucks, not much gets by him!
We hope everyone had a great summer and we hope everyone has a great fall!!
