So Incredible...

Yesterday Kayda, Dillon and Daddy were sitting on the couch. Kayda was sitting on one end on her own while Dillon was sitting next to Daddy. She decided, for reasons unknown to us, that she wanted Dillon to sit by her. She also decided that she was going to do it herself. Poor little Dillon was dragged across the couch by his big sister. Of course he thought it was hilarious. Good thing they love each other so much!

I have been swaddling Kayda's baby doll for her the last few days before we lay it in its "bassinet". Kayda decided today that she wanted to be swaddled too. At first she was trying to have me do it with her favorite baby blanket but of course she has grown considerably and it just isn't sufficient for the job any longer. So I got a big purple blanket we have and swaddled her. Once she was swaddled she decided that she wanted to hold her baby, of course her arms are tucked in so that meant the her baby got tucked in as well. She didn't want to be held by either Daddy or Mommy and she didn't want to lay on the floor or in the bean bag chair so I set her in her Dora chair. Well, being the determined little girl that she is she decided that she didn't want to be there any more so she got on the floor and actually managed to stand up and "walk" around in her blanket! I think she is going to be a professional potato sack racer!

Kayda has developed a fake smile. It cracks me up because it is most definitely NOTHING like her real smiles!

Dillon is becoming more and more independent. He is still very attached to me but he's starting to crawl around after things and explore. I was down on the floor trying to take pictures of him crawling and he decided he was interested in the camera so I got a VERY close one but I think it's cute. He's getting really FAST now it's amazing! Today we were going to have a barbecue/cake thing for Daddy's birthday but he wasn't feeling well. He's got a cold that knocked him out for an extra couple of hours this morning and left him feeling dizzy whenever he stood up the rest of the day. I got this shirt for Dillon and thought it was appropriate for "celebrating" Daddy. It says "If you think I'm cool you should see my dad". Notice Dillon is standing up with the assistance of Kayda's push car. Well, I let him keep holding on to it and he started walking around it. He ended up tipping it over. Just before this he was "superman" on the side of the car, I thought he was going to be stuck but he managed to get up. Like I said he's getting REALLY mobile and is crawling everywhere and pulling himself to standing on anything he can get a hold of.
