3 months 6 months It’s finally growing out; and getting lighter…

Because she’s a nut…   

We have been having it really good lately. Both girls are SLEEPING – AT NIGHT – ALL NIGHT LONG!! Maybe I have talked about it too much or something, but for the past 2 nights, Aliza wakes up at about 3:30 and just talks to herself. “Blah, blah, blah” and “oooh, oooh, oooh”. She’s not crying, so we just let her lay in there and talk. While I listen. Because I can’t sleep if one of my babies is awake. I know that it is all over if I go in there and look at her or pick her up. NO PICKING UP BABIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT is what I have learned. Unless you want to keep getting up in the middle of the night. And no thanks on that. I love sleep and need sleep! But honestly, baby talking in the middle of the night (or anytime)? It is music to my ears. You don’t know about these feelings you get until you’re a mom or a dad. The cooing coming from your baby is indescribably wonderful. It’s like a warm blanket just out of the dryer. It envelopes you and makes your body warm. It can take you...

4 years and I’m so happy to know that this is just the beginning. We’ve been through a lot, and at the same time, I feel like we have hardly been through anything. A wedding at home (what a wonderful way to do it!) traveling a sudden and very sad loss of Jeremi a renovation a pregnancy a baby another pregnancy and another baby At points it has felt like a wild ride and at other points it has been dull. With 2 babies, I don’t think the dull times will be around for a while, but that doesn’t matter. We’ll be on this wild ride of parenting together. I just know that the last 4 years have been the greatest of my life. I’m proud to say that all I’ve done in the past 4 years, I’ve done with my best friend at my side. Happy Anniversary Best Friend!             I love you! ~Kasey

This is Marielle trying to say Louisiana. Makes me laugh out loud! Ma-weeee-siana from Kasey Gary on Vimeo . Also, Friday when I picked her up from daycare, they had re-done her pig-tails, and it didn’t look like it  had when I sent her to daycare that morning… Before Daycare After Daycare…a little lopsided…

Terrible 2’s. I try to keep her happy, but sometimes she just wants to scream! All I did was stop the wagon so I could take a picture and she freaked out!! The wagon was stopped for about 2 seconds so I could walk to the side to take a picture and this happens. She has mood swings like crazy – I have wondered, is this puberty or terrible 2’s?? But I know it’s coming and going to stay for a while. I did get some good pictures from this walk…but just a few. I couldn’t stop for long… I haven’t told her that those are weeds and not real flowers. She thinks they’re pretty… Then home for a bath…   Farm animals at their best…she makes them kiss… when she plays with bath toys at all. She banned them for months. She would only play with a towel. Nothing else could be in the water with her. I had to get the camera since she was playing with toys. I’m glad I did… Then we decided to put Aliza in the tub with Marielle and Jon took over the camera. Even though my hair was we...
