Baseball Season is Here!

Matt started baseball this week. He has had morning and afternoon practices which makes for a long week. Kelsey has been missing him already because she asks when he will be home from the minute he leaves. When he returns from practice he barely gets in the door before Kelsey wants to tell him every detail from her day. Baseball season means a busy day for this mama. However, Kelsey does a great job of helping out to make things easier. For example, one of Kelsey's new things is buckling herself up in the car. She gets in and buckles and then I check her once I have Megan buckled in.

We have been having such amazing weather that we have been outside a lot. Our neighbors put up their trampoline and they are gracious enough to let Kelsey and Megan use it whenever they want. The other night Kelsey wanted to jump all night and it took some definite convincing to get her to come inside. The girls and I have been going for walks too, and the girlies are awesome while we walk. Kelsey usually chats about everything, sings a few songs, and Megan jut chills and enjoys the ride. We have walked to The Ginkseys and also watched some baseball already. Matt also got the bikes down and we went for a bike ride. It was the girls first time riding in the burley together. It makes me very excited for summer break.
 
Kelsey has been a really good helper with Megan, too. Megan is Kelsey's shadow most of the time. Kelsey just lets her follow her and is usually pretty sweet about it. As for Megan, she is doing new things all the time, too! She shakes her head no and is able to point at what she wants now. She also follows 1-2 step directions pretty well. The other day I asked her if she wanted her milk and she responded "yeah." Kelsey and I laughed about it because it came out clear as day. However, I am not convinced she truly knows the word or if it is fluke because I have not heard that again. Here she is waving at me and saying hi :)

Nothing says warm weather like a DQ blizzard
Kelsey is becoming the weather girl around here. She lets us know if it is sunny or overcast. I think it is funny that she says overcast and not cloudy. She is getting to be such a big girl. Last night we got to watch a movie before bed and The Wizard of Oz was on TV. I thought we would try it to see what she thought. Much to my surprise, she liked it. She got more of it than I thought she would and refers to it as The Lizard of Oz. hehe! Here she is posing for us. She loves getting her picture taken!

Learning to brush her teeth
**I got a new camera :) I am still trying to figure it out. So far all I really know is that it takes some great pictures!
