Coloring and Crawling!

Yesterday Jordyn had her birthday pictures taken. The day prior she got into some markers, which were NOT washable, and covered the majority of her body. I tried and tried to get the marker off, but it was still pretty noticeable on her body. I nixed the dress I wanted to put her in and found a cute pair of pants and a shirt. While this mostly solved the problem there is a little marker visible in her pictures on her hand. I guess we'll just remember it and laugh. However, a lot of you probably know how finicky I am over the kids' clothes, bodies, etc (I'm pretty sure I've been called the smock Nazi at preschool). Maybe it will take a long time for me to laugh about it. Despite the ink on her hand, I'm pretty pleased with how the pictures turned out and I will post them soon.


Kennedy began crawling, by definition, yesterday. Yep, she's figured out the arms in combination with her legs. She's no longer "worming" nor "army crawling" like before. Of course there is still a little of it, but mostly she's cruising around. Even when the laptop bag is hanging out on the kitchen floor it doesn't stop her. I'm VERY quickly remembering how babies can find any small item on the floor!!! Lots of cleaning and excitement with all this moving around. I will need to do some different baby-proofing now, as Jordyn was already walking when we moved in. Eek!!!

One last thing that happened today; Kennedy was enjoying some Cheerios in her high chair, when Jordyn asked if she could have some. I gave her a bowl and she finished it. She asked if she could have some more. I told her she could, but she'd have to wait a minute until I was done with what I was doing. She said she was going to grab the box for me. While I assumed she would wait for me to help her, I was wrong. She poured some for herself and for Kennedy. Her bowl was fine. Kennedy's tray was a different story. I don't think Kennedy minded much, though. Oh, boy! Never assume anything with Jordyn!!! We were still finding Cheerios on the floor after we put the girls to bed!!!
