A Day in the Mouth of Kallen!

Kallen is absolutely an oral baby! Kora was as well. Katherine never put anything unusual in her mouth and still doesn't(I think she eats like five different foods, if we are lucky)! In just one day, I snapped photos every time I found Kallen with something new in her mouth. The choking hazards I am dealing with on a daily basis are daunting. If I find another tootsie roll wrapper in the roof of her mouth, I just might lose it...

Kallen's Epipen...Do I hear a Mother of the Year nomination?

A Polly Pocket dress--nice and chewy soft on the gums.

A sock. For some reason, she is especially fond of chewing on her socks. I can't keep her toes warm as she constantly yanks off the socks so that she can chew on them.

And finally, a noisy toy of Kora's.

Our Indian Summer


















The weather for this last week has been unseasonable warm.  Everyday ends up being in the 70's!  Eric has mowed the lawn, the girls have been outside playing, and I took the chance to get some fun fall photos of Kallen with Katherine's help.

The Exersaucer--Toddler Style




Kallen has absolutely loved her exersaucer!  She is just too active and busy to be confined to it anymore.  So, I tried using it as it is meant to be used for a toddler by removing the seat and opening it up so that she can play inside.  I had my doubts as Kora never really used it this way.  Kallen still absolutely loves her exersaucer.  She will crawl into it and stand there in it, playing for fairly large chunks of time.  It's quite fun to watch.

Halloween Just Past...


It's still weird to be Trick-or-Treating in the daylight but I get to take photos outside! The girls had a great time collecting as much sugar as possible. Today we take down the Halloween decorations and get ready for Thanksgiving--things should be crazy until midway through January...

Katherine--The Bride of Frankenstein

Kora--A Creepy, Yet Kinda Cute Bat
