Just to document

Carson is turning into such a smiley baby!  The last few days he has been smiling a LOT.  He was smiling at Daddy and we were trying desperately to catch it but he wasn't cooperating.  He's cute even when he's not smiling though so it's ok!
He likes to nap in the high chair.  If you look close he was on the tail end of a sleepy smile!  He still sleeps most of the day and he is starting to do well at night.  He'll go 5-6 hours between eating the first portion (though he only really sleeps about 4 of that), then he'll go another 3-4 between and then he'll sleep until I wake him up to start the day!  He is also getting really good at controlling his head, he can turn it when he's tracking something, he loves to stand up (with help of course) and he LOVES baths and showers.  He falls asleep whenever he is in the front carrier, more easily than when he's in the car even (Kayda and Dillon fell asleep very easily in the car so I thought that was interesting). 
Dillon has a tendency to wink at people when we ask him to smile so this time I just asked him to wink.  I think he should be a pirate for halloween.  Argh!
Kayda wasn't much in the mood to have her picture taken but I wanted to get a picture of her ringlets!  Any time her hair gets wet and isn't brushed afterward these beautiful curls form.  I don't know how long that will happen so I HAD to get it while I was thinking about it. 

From what I can tell the kids are enjoying preschool.  They come home and sing the songs they're learning and dance.  Kayda has also been reciting her September poem. 

"It's September for a while, after a while crocodile, down the chicken soupy nile, paddle once, paddle twice, paddle chicken soup with rice." 

No it doesn't make sense to me either, but apparently there is a "chicken soup" poem for each month that they will be learning.

Good night, sleep tight...

Tonight Dillon had a couple of firsts! He was having a hard time settling down so I left him in his crib with the lights off. I went back in when he got upset and he was just sitting up in his crib... I'm not sure if he got to sitting from laying down or if he used the crib railings. I laid him down and he was still squirmy so I left again. I went back in to check on him and he was STANDING UP in the crib!!! YAY Dillon! I laid him down again, patted him, he was still wiggling like crazy so I left again and guess what he did! He PUT HIMSELF TO SLEEP!!! I wasn't even in the room!!! Hurray Dillon! Now if he could repeat that it would be fantastic!

Kayda is doing pretty well going to sleep again. She was getting pretty dependent on us coming in and calming her down again but we're breaking that habit. She has added a new thing she likes to do before she goes to bed. It's not every night but it's pretty consistent. First a little background. On Monday we got together with her cousins (Ella, Peyton, Mikey, Jarret and Chase). Ella had a highchair for her doll which Kayda LOVED. So when we got home I turned an extra basket I had into a little "bassinet" for her baby doll. Well she is very attached now and likes to tuck the baby in at night and then wants the baby in the basket, in her bed with her. It was very cute!
