Our Kiddos

are getting so big!!
I find it hard to believe that Ceili is almost 3 1/2 years old! She is one of the big kids now...and there is nothing she is too little to do these days! With clothes and shoes on, she is finally 30 pounds and 36 inches tall!! I have a feeling her baby brother will be catching up to her one of these days!! Because she is 30 pounds (really 29, but don't tell anyone!) we have moved her to a new carseat that she uses the "real" seatbelt instead of the harness. She got to pick it out all on her own, and she picked the perfect one...gray with purple and pink flowers! She loves her new seat and is excited to let her brother move into her old seat now that he is almost too big for his carrier! She has also started playing with the big girls on the street in the evenings...riding bikes on the sidewalk, putting make-up on and playing Barbies! Lastnight, I walked out to find her face covered in beautiful make-up...I will put a picture of that up soon! It was a sight to be seen, that's for sure!
You will notice that she is holding her hand up, cupped like she is holding something, in these pictures. When I asked if I could take her picture (yes, I have to ask these days or she gets mad!), she told me she wanted me to take her picture with her "pretend" ant that she was holding. So, here are the pictures I was allowed to take of her with her "ant!"
Keaton is 7 months old now, and at his 6 month check-up he weighed in at 15 lbs 12 oz and measured 27 inches long! He is in the 25th percentile for weight and 75th for height...going to be tall and lean! Some of his favorite things are his lovey, the exersaucer, his drum and his duck. He is a total Mommy's boy, who looks just like his Daddy and thinks his sister is the best thing in the world! From baby food to Mommy and Daddy's food, he LOVES everything! I don't think there is anything that boy has tried that he doesn't like...what a total opposite of his big sister! Once those teeth finally come through, Ceili is ready to feed him off of her plate!
I thought that last picture of the two of them was too sweet...I did NOT ask her to hold his head like that and kiss him, but I love that she did it!! She really is so sweet to him...most of the time!!
