What we're thankful for

First and foremost we are thankful to have two beautiful little girls. Then we move onto more selfish things like being thankful that out of the blue, Carly has decided to make nice with the potty chair! Remember that... we put it together like a year ago.... just in the last two weeks or so she decided it was time to put on her big girl panties (aka Tinkerbells) and collect her M&Ms one by one. (though she'll ask for two EVERY time!?)


Bwaaaaaa!

Bwaaaaaa again.

Molly's funny!

As you may remember last time, Molly has started on her foods other than milk. She's also working at sitting up in the chair.

Sometimes she's really enthused about it.

Not long ago Uncle Brian, Aunt Megan and Cassidy came to visit. Uncle Brian had ulterior motives for making the trip, but the girls didn't mind. Saturday was the first blast of winter, and the Gerkens were on hand for the first snowstorm of the season. Carly and Cassidy just played inside.

Molly is dying to know what's going on on the table!

Carly showing off her new "ink." Don't mess with the Butterfly Girl.

To which Molly just says... whatever, my lady bug can beat up your butterfly.

A while back Carly got a Play-Doh burger factory thingy for a present. Welllllll.... we finally got around to actually letting her play with it. She made this beautiful birthday cake. Shortly after, she pounded this into a solid lump and Jason spent the next hour trying to salvage the colors for the next time. If they can make them different colors.... why can't they make them not stick to each other?

Never ones to stifle creativity (and as a potty reward from daycare) Carly has also been getting into watercolors. So watch your Christmas stockings... you all may have Carly originals!

Molly has taken to feeding herself... she's really becoming such an independent little princess.

Since winter is here, Carly stays inside at daycare... which means she can wear dresses.... which she is quite fond of. Here's one of her new favorites... a lady bug dress.

Ok, That's all we have... Check back again soon... we'll likely have at least one more update before Christmas.... and it will be here quickly!!
