Been A While...

I know it has been a while since we updated. Things have been a bit nuts, but we have some updates on the girls. Kara has been sleeping for three to four hour periods, but still has some trouble at night on occasion. I know I'm in for a rough night when she only drinks two ounces or less on her first post-midnight feeding. She has started eating a little bit of rice cereal in her bottle to help thicken her food and take that first step toward the real thing. She will smile and make noises when you mess with her feet and her cheeks, but it has been hard to catch this on camera so far. She has inherited my trait of being able to sleep through just about anything, which is wonderful considering how crazy Addison gets when she is excited.

Addison has been enjoying school a lot more and will even let my Dad drop her off without crying on occasion. She absolutely loves to be outside, which has been posing a problem lately due to the rain. In addition to WALL-E, Addison has now added Finding Nemo to her list of must-watch movies. She has both of these memorized(as do Kelly and I) and will speak some of the lines during the movie when they happen. She also likes to have the lights off in the hallway so she can turn on the light-up turtle my Aunt Mickey and Uncle Hector got her. It will display an array of star shaped lights all over the wall or ceiling, depending on where she points it. She can also change the colors of the lights by pressing the buttons. Addison is saying more and more sentences and can still count very well. It really is amazing how much they can pick up at this age.

Here are two shots of Kara asleep on the living room chair while her sister is undoubtedly running around screaming.


Speaking of sleeping, here is a rare shot of the two girls taking up the couch when Addison wanted to go "night-night" like Kara. Addison also wanted a close up where she could smile for the camera.
Here is a shot of mommy and her two little darlings snuggling:
