my little chubs, I had to take a picture

We were kite flying and I ran in to grab my camera, about the time I came back Piper had just let go of her kite and Mom had to chase it down to the end of the street

The girls are doing good. Man is Piper a challenge these days. I think I'm more of a challenge though, I have to lower my expectations and slow down and relax. It's hard to both remind myself to do that and actually do it but we've reverted on our potty training and I just let her go when she wants to in the potty and she's back to wearing pull ups. Oh well, less mess for me to clean up and I'm doing about 3 less loads of laundry per week as well. She's even started sleeping in later too - odd! Piper's has 2 requests each and every day without fail, one is to go "outkide" (outside in a German accent) and the other is to either call or go to Dora and Papa's. She has become quite the Daddy's girl too, if anything goes wrong or she gets into trouble she must call Daddy. It's too cute! She's already learned that if Daddy says no to something she comes to ask me or vice versa - it is a darn good thing Jason and I are very much on the same page about things.

Reagan is such a little happy camper, always smiling and laughing for just about any reason she can think of. I don't know how we got two happy babies! Are we lucky or what?? She's rolling from her tummy to back but she will only do it in her crib, she's also getting really good at using her hands to get stuff to her mouth. Oh did I mention she's a champion drooler too? She had her 4 month check up and shots today, she's up to 12lbs 15 oz. I swear their scale is off though, I thought she weighs more but oh well, still happy and healthy. Reagan is a complete Mommy's girl, she wants to be in the middle of the action and wants to be in Mom's arms as much as possible these days, and well even most of the evening, nights and early morning hours. I wish I had another set of arms and an extra brain.
