Picture Overload!

I kept thinking that there would be time to do two post in one week to catch up on pictures, but there hasn't been, so I just decided to do them all at once.

Smiley Baby!
Caily and Lexi were laughing at me, I thought it was rather cute! Then Caily just got plain old silly, gotta love our two year old.
Oh, she did her hair herself, she loves putting head bands on and is getting much better at it.
These were taken last week, we were having beautiful warm weather, this week is beautiful as well, just cooler. All set and ready to go watch Daddy ride.
I love her eyes.
Just hanging out.
Darin with the gray horsey as Caily says, but drop the "r", it use to be grape but has moved on.
Bit talking to me.

Caily is into matching either Lexi or myself, so when I put Lexi in her black shirt, Caily wanted hers on as well. Today, we are both wearing green shirts. This is one of the few that I could get them both to look at me, Caily loves to hold Lexi. I don't know if Lexi always loves for Caily to hold her.

They both have amazing eye lashes.


These next two, look like she is scheming something.



Anyway, I need to go check on Lexi who has been taking a monster nap, that is all for now, enjoy all the pictures.

A morning with Caily and Lexi. . .

These pictures are from last week, I am a little behind in posting pictures, but I hope to catch up at some point without posting a million pictures at one time. I like these ones for many reasons, but one of the main reasons is that it gives a brief glimpse into our mornings around the ranch. We usually wake up to a certain two year old who wants to be all done night-night and a certain six month old sleeping in a little longer. After breakfast for everyone and once Lexi is back down for her morning nap. Caily and I usually head out to go check on Daddy and see what he is up to.

Here we are "walking" down to the arena, she is getting better at the walking from point A to point B, but is often distracted along the way. This day it was the rocks and rearranging them that was a distraction.
Rowdy was helping her. . . throwing. . .
reloading. . .
holding a butterfly and not too sure about what she is suppose to do with it. . .
time to chase some chickens. . .
hamming it up for the camera. . .
more fun times with Rowdy. . .
O, Bits awake, time to go get her. . .
play time on Caily's bed. . .
Caily being silly, while Lexi looks on. . .
Lexi practicing her new skill. . .
Ol' faithful. . .

Caily singing to Lexi. . .
Lexi concentrating on something or maybe just her thumb. . .
And of course there are diaper changes, feeding Lexi, potty breaks, snacks, moments of frustration, laundry, dishes, other random household things, playing, being silly and the list could go on, but that is a general look at our morning. After Lexi's morning nap we either go back outside or stay in and get lunch ready. That would be a morning with Caily and Lexi.

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

As much as Caily is growing up, she still looks so little some times and it reminds me that she is only two. I love pictures of the two of them together. Lexi had her first bath in the big tub tonight with Caily, it went well, only one time of tears.
Faithful thumb.
Excited about her gifts from Caily, now if only she could get them to her mouth.
Off to do something of the utmost importance!
Fun times of pushing Bit! She actually is quite good at steering, I let her push Lexi around Old Nav*y the same day and she did remarkably well, kept them both occupied.

Couldn't get her to look at the camera, when I was ready to take a picture.
I like the shot, but it would have been even better if I could have gotten her to look at me, shows her size well.
Almost a smile.

There it is!

These are from last week, when the girls and I went to the pumpkin patch in our town. It was fun to go, although hard to get very good pictures by myself. Caily was more interested in running around, moving the pumpkins or pushing Lexi than posing for a picture. Lexi was excited to show off her new skill of sitting on her on, but not so into looking at the camera with any look other than pretty much a blank stare.

I cannot believe that Lexi is six months old today, half a year old! She is doing well, loving to be able to sit on her on and she can do it for quite awhile without toppling over. We have her well-baby check up tomorrow, so we will see how much she has grown. I am thinking of starting her on cereal soon, I think that she is more than ready, I just haven't done it yet. We did give her a sippy with water in it the other day and she attacked it, although was a little unsure once she got any liquid out.

Caily seems to be growing up every day, saying new things and doing new things, some things that are really cute and others that she has picked up from us that are not so cute. She is still loving horses, dogs, chickens and her Daddy.

We have been putting them in the same room at night when ever it works out, rather than every night. Some nights, Lexi just cannot make to even close to Caily's bedtime, so we put her down in our room or the nights when sleep is the ultimate need for everyone involved. It goes pretty good when they sleep together, is just is the chain reaction sometime that gets hard to handle. Caily still wakes up many times throughout the night and often wakes up Lexi and Lexi wakes up usually one time early morning because she goes to bed so early. What ever the case, we will figure it out, I am sure.
