Such cutie pies!

So with Maddy and Josey gone all day at school. Lilly and Ivy are getting better acquainted. Lilly is liking the one on one mommy time and we are having fun playing with Ivy. Ivy is getting closer and closer to crawling. She does crawl.....she just goes backwards! She often she just keeps going until she can't go any further......as evidenced below. She was stuck under the end table but seemed rather pleased about it. Sorry for all the junk in the family room but Lilly was trying to build a fort.

That little tongue has been a semi-permanent feature on Ivy's face. She has finally broke through her first tooth and that tongue really likes to feel it I think.

You have to blow up this next picture and ignore the carrot barf all over her shirt and face but seriously check out those lashes! Lucky girl!

I just can't wait to see what she is going to look like with a little hair. It is really hard to visualize her as a little girl as bald as she is!

And my little preschooler. The first day went really great. She even ran out of the room yelling, "I love preschool!" However the second day didn't go so well. I had to leave her kicking and screaming with the teacher as I tried to walk out with a smile on my face. Even though she is my third I still walked to the car fighting back the tears! I am such a dork. But I felt so bad leaving her there like that even though she is four and really needs to break away from me a little bit. Of course she was all smiles when I came to pick her up. And she told me that she wants to go to preschool everyday and that she is going to "zoom in there!". We will see how Tuesday goes....I am preparing for the worst.

Ivy is always so happy when the cats get brought close enough for her to torture them. They are really good natured cats and even though Lilly and Ivy aren't the most gentle with them they rarely meow or scratch. In fact I am shocked sometimes when I hear them purring as Lilly has them thrown over her shoulder.

Here is my little shrimpo again. I realized today that she was wearing a newborn onsie and 0-3 month pants......she is going to be 7 months next week. Seriously? She is making it easier though for me to hold on to the baby stage since she is my last baby! However at this rate I just hope that by 5 maybe she won't still be wearing baby clothes.....just kidding.
