33 1/2 Months/6 Weeks Old

Sorry for the delay of the post. This month has been crazy for our family. As most of you know, my mom passed away October 15th after battling ovarian cancer for the past 3 years. She went peacefully and surrounded by family, just as she wanted. Needless to say, the blog was moved to the back burner (is there a way-back burner?), so I'm finally updating it now.

Kami has adjusted to being a big sister with flying colors and loves her baby sister (that's what she calls her). She constantly talks to Brooklyn ("Don't cry baby sister. It's okay Book-in." "Baby sister hungy, make a bottle!" Yes, she leaves out the "r" in hungry.) and is helping me (throws away dirty diapers, puts clothes in the hamper, shakes the bottles). She's also very excited for Halloween (spoiler-she's going to be a Minnie Mouse Princess) and getting lots of candy.

Brooklyn is an easy baby. I have a feeling that she might be a more mellow child than Kami is (like that's so hard). She's our chunky monkey and still has tons of hair. She's a very sweet girl and we look forward to finding out what kind of personality she'll have.

We also added one more to our family. Po is an Australian shepherd, border collie mix (apparently those are called "Baussies"). We got him towards the beginning of October and he was 6-weeks old. He's a cute puppy who seems to be pretty smart. Kami loves having a dog again and I happy that he hasn't pooped in our house yet!

Brooklyn uses the swing much more than Kami ever did, so I'm finally getting my money's worth out of this thing.

A proud Uncle Nick and one of his favorite nieces.

Brooklyn on one of her many baby blankets.

Mmm...fingers are so good...

Sweet little face.

Kami and Po washing my windows. How nice of them...

This is one of their favorite games to play (Kami pulling his blanket all over the yard and Po chasing her).

Hmm...what's in here?

Dada, Kami, and Po enjoying a nice fall day.

Isn't he cute? We named him Po after "Kung Fu Panda" since he sort of looks like a panda bear.

"Follow me" says the girl with no pants. She was thrilled with the new puppy on the first day that we got him.

And then she started eating like a doggy...mama wasn't so thrilled about that...

Kami modeling her new tutu that her Aunt Jenn made for her.

Quite the getup for a girl running in the rain.

I drew a "bear-bear" on her magna-doodle and she said "I love my bear bear! I hug him!"

See how helpful Kami is? Garrett doesn't need to even do anything!

Kami's a budding artist. Check out her smiley face (in the brown) and the heart (in the green). I was pretty impressed!

Kami the Conqueror on top of Toilet Paper Mountain in Costco. What a ham.

Sweet girl with sweet braids.

Another impressive smiley face.

Kami's new Batman hat. She loves the "earrings" on the hat (the ties on the earflaps).
