That's funny. Kelcee goes thru spurts like that. And are you right about the changing. I have never done so much laundry in my entire life! She is also taking her diaper off every 30 minutes to sit on the toilet and try and go potty. I'm one that won't put it back on even if it is dry. So, my diaper bill is even higher right now thru the potty training.

Rob reading your posts makes me giggle!!!! Our DD is 8 1/2 mos old now and as sloppy as the kisses are you can't wait for the next one. Its amazing how at such a young age they show so much personality. Its funny how the smallest things can melt your heart isn't it?

My Dad taught Eve how to growl and somehow growling and kissing have connected themselves. Now we know we're about to get smooched because we get a big "RRRRaaaarr" right before it happens.
They really are SO much fun.

As some of you know Kelcee is in speech therapy. This last week has been a huge break thru for her. She added about 4 new words to her vocabulary.

My favorite word right now is lello (yellow).

Aren't those little voices just so sweet? My niece always runs to the front window to check for my "red tar." I'm the only one in the whole wide world who has a red car as far as she knows.

Ahhh, raising a girl after two boys has been so wonderful, she is much more of a handfull but truly a dream come true. The first picture is of our bathing beauty at the beach two weeks ago and the second is of our dress up princess.

Our first tea party!

Loving raising my little girl!! Last night before bed, we had our first tea party, with a little tea set and all the play food we could find. It was so sweet and girly, I just loved it. And in the middle of it, I said " almost time for bed" and she said "5 more minutes!" I just about died!!!

Everyone ready for Halloween that is going out? Kelcee is going to be a little China girl. The outfit is very cute.

Eve is growing so fast I swear I can see her do it. She's starting to sit up on her own. It only lasts for about 30 seconds at a time but she's getting there. She's also finally getting some hair in! One of these days I'll figure out how to post pics and show everyone. Actually, we did a Celebrating Adoption session and just got the photos back. They're amazing!
Eve and her little cousin (three weeks younger) are going to be skunks this year and help us hand out candy. My SIL said we should make them a pack of Twinkies next year.
