sigh

feeling a little nostalgic, but excited at the same time. yesterday i did a little bit of house cleaning and actually threw away kaetlyn's binky on a string... its been a while since santa repoed the binkies, but we've had them around.... i also removed the shelf out of the pack-n-play which has been cj's bed since birth... he's moved to the bottom now. my babies are growing up quick!


cj is trying to walk... won't be long. he's pushing himself all over the house on walking toys, and of course kaetlyn's kitchen stool. he pushes one thing till he gets it stuck, then crawls to the next thing and pushes that until it gets stuck. i recognize this time around why one of kaetlyn's first words was 'stuck' because i find myself continuously asking him, 'are you stuck?' :) he is even letting go and trying to balance... not too shabby for 8.5 months!! he has also rejected baby food and has moved on to 'real' food... his sister was the same way. can't say i blame him.


kaetlyn and i had a conversation about 'soccer game' last night. she said, 'i'm not very good at it, so i get a stomach ache on purpose.' LOL... don't know how she figured that one out. she said she got upset because she was standing in the goal and the other girls were trying to take the ball from her... i'm not sure she understands the concept of how soccer works... i tried to explain, but am thinking we will need to get a soccer ball and practice with her a bit.


we had a nice dinner for valentine's day last night. i bought kaetlyn an art set thingy for her vday gift. she did her first color by number... i was very impressed.


here's a pic of the kiddos at the grocery store yesterday. i LOVE the shopping cards that hold 2 kiddos side by side. it's the little things. :)
