Getting Messy

Well the evenings have been finally getting cooler down here and we've been able to take some walks before bed.  Sometimes we don't get very far before we are playing with friends - I love how sociable Kylie is!  On Monday Kylie even got to try out her friends bike - one with training wheels!  I had no idea that she was that big and ready for a bike that size!  Who said she could grow up this quick?

A favorite game of Kylie's recently has been to play with Hayden while he is in his highchair.  They both love to play the game where Kylie wheels him back and forth to me.

The past few days while Kylie has been finishing up her bath, Hayden has been playing with the sink.  Normally he just plays with everything around the sink, but sometimes he accidentally turns on the water and then he gets so confused as to what is happening.  It's so cute!

This week Kylie has been completely addicted to technology.  She was constantly on my phone, the iPad or the Android tablet.  I would even try to get her to play with me and Hayden, but she would play for only a few minutes before she was back to playing on the tablet.  If she were just watching shows I would be more concerned, but she is playing all of her learning games so at least it is interactive.  But... I think I need to start implementing technology-free days (even though it is so nice to have her distracted so I can actually get some things done...).

Hayden is still slowly trying to stand on his own, and Kylie has been saying many more real words, though she is still fluent in gibberish.  She is at the age where she will say something a million times until you say it and acknowledge that she said the word.  It gets pretty tiring sometimes...
