Playing Together!

Kylie and Hayden are getting really cute playing together now.  Hayden just loves to follow Kylie around, and Kylie can play nicely with him when she's not trying to boss him around.  Every night at bedtime while we are reading stories, Hayden and Kylie play on the little tramp in Kylie's room.  Kylie is a little acrobat and is always turning upside down.

Hayden is now tall enough that he can pull himself up and start bouncing.  He has so much fun!

We got a lot of thunderstorms at the beginning of the week.  On Monday we had a huge one during the day (most of them come at night), and we all had fun watching the rain torrents and huge flashes of lightning.  Kylie even took a gazillion pictures of the rain.

The storm only lasted about an hour, but in that time a ton of flooding occurred all around town and even brought the traffic on the freeway to a standstill.

During the storm there was a really cute moment when I was changing the kids diapers and playing peek-a-boo with them.  Hayden has learned to pull his shirt up and play that way, so Kylie imitated him and they were both pulling up their shirts to play peek-a-boo together.

Tuesday morning was still kinda stormy in the morning but not too bad.  Hayden had fun getting rides on Kylie's bike.  He loves trying to do things that he is too little for still.

Later that day we went outside to play in the aftermath of the storm.  Kylie actually has a friend that will come knock on the door and ask for her to play.  His name is Brighton and he lives just across the street and I thought it was just so cute that he did that.  But now he does it ALL the time.  And if we don't answer (one time it was bathtime), he will KEEP knocking and ringing the doorbell (it lasted a half hour...) and that gets pretty annoying.  Kylie does like to go out and play with him, though.

Kylie is so cute with Hayden lately.  Once he got hurt pretty bad and she came and gave him a kiss and then did something silly over and over to make him laugh like crazy for 10 minutes.  Hayden has is top two teeth coming in, so he is pretty cranky lately.  He gets especially cranky when he tries to play with Kylie when she is on the iPad and she won't share with him.  He wants to play with all the electronics, but they all go straight to his mouth, unless he has his pacifier in.

So that was our week basically.  We didn't go swimming because of the storms and cooler weather.  We did take lots of walks and play outside a lot, though.  We have a ton of fun playing together!
