28 March 2011, Day 19

Kaylee seems to be coming down with something. She's had on and off low-grade fevers for a week or so and it seems to have finally caught up with her. This is the first time she ever fell asleep on the couch.

27 March 2011, Day 18

Kaylee's first haircut!!! As expected she was far too scared to sit by herself so she had to sit on Dad's lap.

Bangs were not intended, but she had some scraggly curls up there. And she got the random straight hair on the sides angled by her face. The rest was just trimmed so it won't get so knotty.

Baby Ben in his poop chair. I swear the second you put him in the highchair the poop fountain starts flowing!

25 March 2011, Day 16

Our last shopping trip with Ben in an infant seat. It is far too cumbersome to go shopping with! From now on he'll be in a mei tai carrier!

24 March 2011, Day 15

A picture in honor of my homebrewing husband! It's his first day back after a 4 day business trip. I was home alone with 2 sick kids, not fun for me at all. But we are so grateful to have Daddy home!!

23 March 2011, Day 14

My beautiful kids!

Kaylee doesn't really take a pacifier, but if Ben's doing it, it must be cool!

Grandpa Ben with his pants pulled up to his armpits and a plaid shirt. I think my grandpa actually owns this outfit!

22 March 2011, Day 13

After repeatedly smacking Kaylee's head on the roof of the car, I broke down and bought her a new car seat. It was either that or a minivan. I'm quite the stickler for car seat safety so we went top of the line, again. Here's Kaylee in her brand new Britax Frontier 85. And I am happy to report that it sits low enough that I'm not smacking her head when I put her in and she can easily climb in herself, when we're not in a rush!

This is by far my absolute favorite picture I have taken of Benjamin since he was born:

I just love his smile!! And those cheeks look like they're gonna pop!!

21 March 2011, Day 12

Finally I've captured the elusive smile:

And today we had to use some extreme bribery (blue iced cookies) to keep the peace at the grocery store:

20 March 2011, Day 11

We're going through a major stuffed animal phase right now. This is her elephant knit by my friend Joanne. It has a matching mouse, but that is far too tempting for Trapper so we keep it in Kaylee's room!

19 March 2011

Stella and Delilah underwent some minor surgeries today.

Delilah had many more injuries since she is often left at home to be abused by Trapper whereas Stella goes everywhere Kaylee goes.

I must admit, I would make an excellent surgeon! I am getting a bit worried about how many more injuries Stella will be able to sustain. That will be one sad, sad day and I believe there will be many months of crying over her when she does finally go to the big doll house in the sky.
