A New Do!

Kyla's hair won't keep barrettes in (read: Kyla won't keep her barrettes in) but she loves her new pigtails! (Ignore the reflection in the mirror.)

Piper doesn't know what the fuss is, but she's enjoying it anyway.

The Avocado Incident. The Most Recent One, Anyway.

I was feeding Piper avocado when I got up from the table for some reason. When I came back, Kyla had taken over for me. It was cute enough to grab the camera. The video is pretty long, but I'm posting it so Grandma can show it to Kyla while Piper is in Mexico with us. As much as I'm going to miss Kyla this next week, I'm more worried about Kyla missing Piper and getting fairly distraught about where her sister is. So hence some of the downloads for Kyla.

And more pictures for Kyla to look at:

Birthdays

We minimally celebrated Kyla's 2nd birthday on September 1st (we were returning from a camping trip) and practically ignored Dwayne's 34th birthday a week later. But we made up for it with birthday cupcakes and cheesecake at the Hamilton Cabin this weekend with family by our side.

Taking a hint from the playgroup birthday party the week before, I made cupcakes with frosting for Kyla.

Dwayne got Keylime Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory.

Uncle Brian helps Kyla unwrap a gift.

Piper, who just turned 7 months, gnawed on corn on the cob.

And just to show off, a picture with Daddy in their matching outfits.

At the Playground

It might as well be my birthday because, 7 months after Piper was born, I have purchased (on Craigslist, of course) the Nearly Perfect Double Stroller. However, that is not pictured here. After driving to Beacon Hill, Seattle, to buy it, the girls had had ENOUGH of the car so we went to a nearby park to eat and play. Each girl "kaboomed" once and giggled innumberable times.



Baby's First Truck Driving Course

Who's driving this thing?!?

Note: Kyla did not walk straight after this!

Another Guessing Game

(See previous post for answer.)

Put your hands together for.....

Piper! She's figuring out how to hit herself intentionally (we call it clapping, to be polite). Sorry about the crick in your neck...Mama still needs that "Hey, Stupid!" feature on her camera.

And the answer to the Guessing Game? Kyla, 6.5 months old, is sitting on the blanket. Piper, 7 months, is not.

Northwest Trek

It was a 4-Moose day at the Trek (which means, for the first time ever, I saw a moose from the tram--and then 3 more!). I took pictures of my favorite animals, but none of the four legged-kind.
