A New Posting!!!

It's about time, I know. I'm going to use having two kiddos to look after as my excuse for lack of posting. Right now I have about an hour a day when both of them are sleeping. During this time I have two choices...take a nap or take a shower. The change from one to two isn't too terribly difficult. William is a very easy baby so far, as was Kayleigh. I think God knows I wouldn't handle a difficult baby too well, so he gives me easy babes.

Kayleigh Update
Kayleigh is still a pretty easy kiddo; I just can't be as laid back as my nature wants to be. She's watching Barney right now...it's about the only time she's still for more that two seconds. The other day I read a book to her and Tre (the little boy I watch). Tre quietly sat beside me and listened. Kayleigh, however, did not stop moving and was constantly talking. It's amazing how different they are, even at their young age.

I am loving this stage with Kayleigh, though. Yes, she keeps me on my toes, but she is learning so much right now! She sings her ABCs....well, some parts are a bit slurred still, but the tune is recognizable. She has about five of her books memorized and will sit and "read" them to herself or William.

We are beginning to work on potty training. I'm not going all out yet, but she's getting the concept down. She's done No. 1 and No. 2 in the potty!

William Update
Let's see....William is growing so fast. He's already 14 pounds! For reference Kayleigh was about 5 months before she weighed that much and he's only 2 months old. He's smiling and "talking" now! He can follow objects with he eyes. He is even trying to roll over from tummy to back! Oh, and he's sleeping about 8 hours most nights.....totally awesome for me! William is my cuddle-bug! He is perfectly content to just sit in my lap or lay on my shoulder. I love it!

Well, Barney is over, so my time is up!
