Brookie has mastered the art of unplugging herself to get what (and where) she wants. This week she loves Hadley's room. Last night we tried, unsuccessfully to keep her contained but she just wasn't having it. If she unplugged herself once, she did it 30 times. I feel like her machine is alarming constantly!!! I haven't quite captured her defiance on video yet. She knows exactly what she is doing when she unplugs herself and she is pretty proud of herself too! She is also cutting 3 molars -- Ouch! You can't even touch her gums without her crying.
Hadley loves to pick out her own clothes. We have a drawer in her room with just her play clothes. I tell her to pick out an outfit and here are a couple examples of her choices. She wore the dress to Wal-Mart this morning.
We got out the pools in the backyard last weekend. We started with Brookie in the little one so she wouldn't catch Hadley's splashes but she preferred the bigger pool. She is fearless in the water. I would hold her on my lap in the big pool and she would try to stand up and walk away or "swim" away. She loves the water. I finally gave up trying to keep her tubes out of the water.
I love this picture. I don't know why kids feel the need to watch T.V. so closely. Hadley is convinced that she can't see the T.V. from the couch or love seat?!?! Last night, there was a bug on the screen and both of the girls were trying to catch it. Of course they were done by the time I grabbed the camera. Brooke loves her big sister and is really starting to mimic things she does.
I have one video this week. I have more, but when I taped them I had the camera turned vertically and you would all have to watch them with your heads turned sideways. If I can figure out how to change them, I will post them. I'm not sure I'm smart enough to do that. The video I do have is of Brooke screaming at dinner. She has also learned how to "kiss" however, Hadley is the only one that ever gets a real kiss.
Other than that, it's been a pretty uneventful week. We've done a lot of inside activities due to the heat. We are hoping to get outside next week. I'll take 83 degrees over 95 any day! Have a great week!
