SeVeN is the number

Tom is off changing Kiley's diaper... but he'll want the computer back soon so I'll make this quick.

Our morning started off with Tom changing Abby's diaper. I'm not sure of the exact turn of events, all I know is that they were in the bathroom, Abby came out naked, pee'd on the floor, and went back INTO the bathroom to sit on her potty chair. She refused to let Tom put her diaper on for awhile.

I cleaned up one bodily mess.

Naptime. Kara, Kiley and Tom are sleeping in the living room. I hear Abby crying off and on so after 45 minuets I decide to check on her. (I'm wearing Kiley in my Beco) so as we open the door just a crack I catch a wiff of... poo. Ugh... seriously. I saw the diaper in the corner of the crib. Poor Abby woke up with big tears streaming down her face saying "Mooommy" So I called up to Tom who promptly pulled Abby from the crib and gave her a warm bath. I of course ...

cleaned up bodily mess number TWO.

****
But onto the fun news. Kiley slept SEVEN hours straight from 11:30 pm- 6:30am. Kara had me up every two hours so I had plenty of opportunities to check Kiley and make sure she was still breathing. Because as if there aren't enough worries about SIDS, when your baby goes from waking up every 2 hours to not waking up for seven... you worry. So, she slept for seven hours straight. I certainly did not.

I'm wondering if....

• Kara might have MSPI worse then Kiley which gives her tummy aches
• The Prevacid might be starting to work for Kiley (it's been a week
• If I will get a night where they both sleep that long in one shot ever again?

It's hard to know....

Abby's corner: (As if she wasn't having enough fun today already) The other day when I had run out of entertainment ideas for Abby, I took a small bowl and filled it with freshly fallen snow. She sat and ate it for 15 minuets. Then splashed in the rest of it. She loves her snow.

I've also discovered that different sized cups make for fantastic toys.... as long as there is water involved. Again, I placed her in her highchair with several different cups, a spoon and one cup filled with water. She loved it and I loved the break from craziness.

We are working on colors right now. She can say orange but yellow seems to escape her. Right now she enjoys letters and numbers more than anything. The other day she knew that when we spell her name y came after the second b. She makes us write it for her a lot.

Kiley's corner: 
Kiley rolled over the other day. Well... sort of. She was laying on her tummy and kept flipping over onto her back like a little turtle, waving her arms and legs in the air. While she isn't as apt to smile as quickly as Kara she will give you plenty of sweet smiles when she is in the mood.

Kara's corner:
Lately whenever Kara gets excited she draws her knees up to her body and flings out her legs. There are so many times that I look at her and I see glimpses of Abby when she was a baby. She loves to smile and coo at us, especially as we put her to bed. I hope that she will sleep better tonight... or maybe she just knows that if she wakes me up enough she'll end up snuggling with mom and dad. :o)

(P.S.... I'm naughty and cheated a little on my diet. I ate a candy bar... I just couldn't resist the call of the Milky Way... I promise I'll be better tomorrow)
