updates on the kids for January 2010

Landon got his haircut today and he sat in the big kids chair for the first time. He has before sat in the car shaped chairs.

The kids are enjoying playing together more. We've rolled balls back and forth to each other (I was helping Kasey), I convinced Landon to let Kasey play with one of his Cars characters while he played with all of the rest of them, and tonight they played with hot wheels moving them from one container to the other. They also play in the bath with various toys.

Landon finished his advanced aquatots swim class on Tuesday January 12th. He got a ribbon for advancing to the new level. He'll start the super aquatots next week. For the class he just finished he was able to swim 10-15 feet. He is doing really well going from the wall to the teacher, but still working on going from the teacher to the wall.

Landon is trying to push the limits more and more. The other night we took his blanket away for bed time. He survived, but didn't like it. In theory he learned that he needs to listen to us more. :)

We've started giving Kasey a little bit of soy milk with breastmilk, but she's still mainly drinking breastmilk. She'll drink about 5-7 oz of milk during the day and then I feed her twice at night. Depending on when I go to work I sometimes feed her in the morning as well. Weekends I still feed her.

Kasey and Landon got a little wooden chair that was their Great Great Grandpa's chair built around 1897. Kasey loves the chair. Every time we go upstairs she sits in it and rocks her legs back and forth.

Kasey is also doing the sign for cereal. She's getting to the point where if she sees something we are eating that she wants more than what is in front of her she just points at it and "whines".

Landon usually picks out a book to read before bed. The other night Kasey also decided she wanted to pick out a book to read. They both brought their books to Landon's room for me to read them. It was really cute. The book we read the most right now (Landon's favorite) is the Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark.

Kasey was at Grammy and Gramps and she went up to Gramps showing something was wrong. She lifted up her shirt and patted her butt (sign for diaper) to tell Gramps she had gone poopy and needed a diaper change. Later Grammy told Kasey to get her coat because it was time to go. She went and got it and took it to Gramps to put on.

At Grammy and Gramps house Kasey walked to Gramps in garage and he helped her walk into house and she turned around and shut the door.

Kasey seems to be understanding things more and more. Yesterday she did the sign for more for the first time when she wanted more raspberries.

Kasey got sick when we got back from our trip. Greg took her to the doctor because I thought she had an ear infection, and she did. Other than that she basically had fever a couple days and runny nose. She acted pretty normal (still playing). Landon then got sick after her. He had runny nose, fever and his eyes hurt him. I took him in for his eyes and they said he was developing pink eye.

Kasey is starting to listen to commands and understand. Greg was with the kids in Landon's room and he told Kasey to go get her blanket. She walked to her room picked it up and took it back to him. She also understands to do thing like clothes a door, put something into something else.
