They really are, and I love them!!! We traveled out to The Grove to visit Santa and it was a memorable trip!! Kurtis did not want to sit on Santa's lap without mom, so yes I sat with Santa!!!
When Sarah is fussy, there is only one type of music that soothes her and makes her happy- Rap and R&B. We found this out while in the car when she wasn't happy in her car seat. KDAY 93.5FM came to her aid and she just sat there and cooed. Ignorantly thinking it was ANY type of music that soothed, we turned the radio to rock music and she started crying harder than before. We quickly turned it back to hear Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back", and she was happier than ever. Then it was "Tootsie Roll". Through the past few weeks we found out that her favorite artists are Jay-Z and Beyonce, and she laughs at Kurtis when he dances. Some nights we play some Hip Hop and have dance battles in the living room. Kurtis has a few signature moves. His dad's special moves are the Robot and the Cabbage Patch!
Kurtis is such a great big brother and has been very helpful with Sarah, and Sarah just LOVES her big brother!! We have had a great couple of weeks, we are ready for a vacation with the holiday right around the corner and family coming into town for Sarah's blessing. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
We carved pumpkins, went to the zoo, had a Halloween Festival at Pre-K, trick and treated at the trunk or treat, and are getting used to a real schedule with Sarah.
Kurtis is growing up so fast, he recognizes more and more numbers and loves to try and write numbers and letters on his own. He has his first field trip this month which means riding on the bus with his class without mom or dad....yes mom is a little nervous!! He is a terrific big brother and is very helpful, he especially enjoys making sure the bath is the right temperature.
Sarah sleeps a little bit too well, we have to wake her up to eat in the middle of the night most nights. She is awake more and more during the day and is starting to smile at us. She is gaining weight and growing each day.
