Round and round!

This video was taken a few weeks ago already, but I decided to post it anyway - it's just too cute! I love the way Karissa makes sure to give Chloe a kiss after she turns the music back on...

Just hangin' out...

Well, not much is happening around here, except that it snowed last night! It didn't stay - by the afternoon it was all gone. It can stay away for long time as far as I'm concerned... Chloe had her shots on Tuesday. Poor thing. She actually doesn't react too much to them, except that she gets really irritable... Get this - she is a whopping 17lbs! She has more than doubled her birth weight and she's just barely 5 months old! She's also 27 inches long, so she's a big girl :) Gets that from her daddy for sure! Anway, here are a few cute pics of the girls for ya...
This one makes me laugh. Chloe looks like one of those smiley faces you make with the half circles on either side of the smile... too cute!
Wish this one came out right... it showed me it would, but whatever. Karissa found a pair of Joel's socks in the clean laundry basket and decided she wanted to wear them. She walked around for quite awhile in them!
Me and my little (big) girl!
We're borrowing this Bumbo chair from a friend - it's a pretty cool invention! Chloe usually doesn't like to sit in it for anymore than a few minutes, but at least she gets to sit up like she wants to!

October

Well, it is a rare rainy day in Saskatchewan! This morning Karissa got her first taste of Playdoh - literally! I had to watch her like a hawk, but she had a lot of fun mushing it around and using the spoon in it. It was fun to watch!

Ah the famous sitting on the hand picture! Chloe's a little bigger than Karissa was when Joel did it with her, but she loves it just the same! Joel has a hard time holding her up, though! She's a big girl!
I love this picture - her little grin is so cute!
Finally got her in the leaves! She wasn't cranky this time so she actually enjoyed it! It didn't even phase her when a little spider crawled onto her face! Sure freaked mom out though! (no, I didn't scream)
Two cutie-pies... couldn't get them to smile, of course, but hey, you can only do so much posing!

Chloe is trying so hard to sit up now - we put her in this little chair that we have, and she just pushes herself so she's sitting. If she didn't have a belt around her, she'd tip forward, but she's determined!

Playin' in the leaves...

It's been awhile, I know... sorry about that... things have been a little nuts around here - and of course there's nothing to show for it :) A few days ago I was outside with the girls and Karissa had some fun in the leaves. Chloe was NOT happy camper when I put her in the pile, so that's why we don't have a picture of her, but here's Karissa!

Just chillin'
Checkin' things out...
Oh hey, a camera I can pose for! I love this one - it's too cute!
Our friends Zoe (with Karissa) and Amy (with Chloe) came over for dinner on night last week and they had a ton of fun with the girls. There's never a dull moment with Karissa around!
Chloe's 4 month pic - does she really look much different? I don't know - but she's cute as ever! She's starting to roll over - well, she has a couple of times. The other night I went into her room to check on her because she was making a bunch of noise. I found her on her back (she sleeps on her tummy) and she was giving me this huge grin almost as if to say "Look what I did, Mom!" It was really cute.
