Walking Everywhere!

Ali is finally walking on her own. She has been doing this now for a couple of weeks. She is wanting to run like Hailey, but has mastered walking a little faster. It's so fun to see the two girls together walking side by side. Hailey is a wonderful big sister and helps Ali all the time. Hailey has also showed Ali how to eat with a fork, so now she wants to feed herself all the time. We are so impressed how well she does with her fork.....she also likes to feed the dog from the fork too, but doesn't understand why he doesn't just take small bites like we do.

Ali enjoys coloring with crayons and the picture below shows how she likes to draw on the wall. Hailey always colored on paper and never worried about my walls or furniture.....Ali is going to be a totally different story. She sits on her paper and draws around herself. They are so a like, but different in so many ways.

Both girls are doing wonderful....Hailey is doing great in Kindergarten and her teacher updated us this past week on the fact that she is handling things wonderfully. She is going to start Daisies (girl scouts) soon and mommy is going to be a leader so that we can have some time for just the two of us. Busy on my part, but I'll be glad to do it for her. Extra pictures are attached under our galary so enjoy.

Hailey wanted matching PJ's for her and Ali. They are just too cute......well a mommy can brag!

Ali likes to brush Hailey's hair. It makes it a lot of fun in the morning when I'm doing Hailey's hair, but I have a helper.

Off to Kindergarden!!

On Wednesday, August 27th, Hailey became an official Kindergartner. She did amazing. Her teacher is Mr. Novak and he seems like a wonderful teacher to start her off on her elementary school experience. Every morning since our orientation she has been asking to go to school. Today when I picked her up she said she had a great day and loved Gym. Kirt and I just pray everyday for our girls to have a great experience in life and to welcome each new journey and Hailey is off to a good start!

Ali's 1st Birthday!!!

Our little munchkin turned one this past weekend and it was bitter sweet. It's so hard to imagine that Ali has already been with us for a year. It seems like yesterday I was pregnant. Now she has this amazing personality and is walking more and more everyday. She just wants to run....another girl who won't settle for doing something slow. The poor little thing ended up having a rough Friday night with a runny nose from cutting another tooth, but I tell you what it didn't stop her from enjoying her day. We had a little delay in the afternoon when she needed to catch up on her rest. Thank you to everyone who celebrated this milestone in her life.
