Kylie is officially in week 2 of daycare. It's hard because she hasn't reallly been sleeping at all there so when she gets home she's sooo sleepy and doesn't really spend any time with me :-( Makes it one of the hardest parts of being a working mom because this time goes by so fast and each day matters. Patti reminded me that I felt the same way about Ava, so I know it'll get better.
Yesterday at my mom's house, we were about to leave:
Ava - "Mommie, let's go...leave Kylie"
Me - "You want me to leave Kylie here?"
Ava - "Yeah, leave Kylie"
Then this morning I realized how careful I have to be about what I say and how I react to things. Thank God I don't curse! Moe had helped me bring the girls down to get ready to leave and as usual, I was running late. So I go to get Kylie's car seat carrier and realize that Moe didn't strap her in, he had just set her down in the car seat. I got frustrated and made a loud grunting noise.
Ava - "What happened Mommie?"
Me - "Oh nothing, Kylie's car seat isn't fastened and I need to fix it." then she asked me like 3 other times. "What happened to Kylie's carseat?" So I realized again this morning that I really have to watch what I say and how I say it. My girl is a very intelligent and perceptive little talker. I'm just a typical, proud Mommie!!

More to come...
I will soon be updating the blog with some of our holiday photos, but just to give an update. Little Miss Kylie is doing well...growing and growing. I predict she may be like 6'2" because she is sooo long. My Doctor predicted Ava will be 6'0" but since he doesn't really look at that until they turn two, he can't do Kylie's prediction yet. Kylie is already almost 15 lbs. (14lbs 11 oz) to be exact and she'll be 4 months on Sunday, 1-17. She is already in 6 month clothes mostly because of how long she is. She is a very sweet baby and loves to talk and laugh.
This picture was taken a few days ago. Patti and Drad got them those matching outfits for Christmas so I was dying to get a picture of them. So we did our best to make Ava sit down and prop Kylie up next to her. Well at one point, Ava just decided to get up and of course Kylie just toppled over in this cushy chair, Thank God she didnt topple forward!! So that explains the look on Kylie's face :-)
Ava's Fears
It has been much tougher than I thought to keep up with this, but I'll get the hang of it and now that I'm back at work, I'm hoping to get a chance to jot some funny moments down every now and then.
So the topic of this post is Ava's fears. I'm really starting to worry about my little girl because she is afraid of SO MANY odd things!
1.) Random noises...which include the potty timer (like a kitchen timer) and the buzzer at her Daddy's basketball games. The buzzer terrifies her! It's really sad the way she jumps and grabs hold of you when she hears it. I mean it is very loud and happens very frequently at a basketball game, but I mean she cries and asks to go bye bye and everything! So, needless to say, last Saturday was her last game until we go down to Atlanta. I just can't put her through it anymore. After being traumatized at the game on Saturday, she told me repeatedly "I don't like Daddy's game, it scares me." So sad :-( And last night as I was leaving to go to a game, she got sad and said "Mommie, I wanna go with you" and I said, "Well, I'm going to Daddy's game and you don't like Daddy's game." She said..."Bye Bye Mommie!"
2.) Ella in her Wizard of Oz Lion costume. Somehow, even though she knows it's Ella, she is very scared.
3.) Things floating in the bathtub. At first it was the white Dove liquid soap that happens to float in the tub then she saw a piece of her hair and that really freaked her out too. In both cases she literally started crying and yellling "HOLD YOU!" (which is what she says when she wants to be picked up) and tried jumping out of the tub. Whew.....
4.) Any little things on the ground that in any way resembles a bug!
It's so sad, I'm going to start praying for her to be less fearful because at this rate, she is going to have a really hard time :-(
