Smiling and learning something new

Life around here is slowly getting back to normal, for the past two days with all the rain, we were lucky to have Kevin home! We love when he gets to hang out with us. I was able to finally go finish getting everything I needed for Halli to start school, and I didn't have three girls in tow, it was wonderful! On to the few little things that have been happening around her...

Lexie has started smiling. She was doing it a few weeks ago, but I finally got some good pictures of it. She is such a mix of her sisters, I love being able to look at them all and see them in each other. Her sisters love her, and everytime I talk to her and get her smiling, two little heads squeeze in and have to get her to smile just for them, it's very cute. She is getting slightly easier as the weeks go by, she was actually in her carseat the other day for an extended period of time, and she wasn't screaming, or even fussing for that matter. We love having her here and I know Peyton will really love having a little friend to play with as soon as she's able.

Halli is now riding her bike without training wheels, she's been doing it for awhile now, but still insists on having the training wheels on when she's riding around with her friend (aka blake), it's easier for her to stay with him that way. Well, today she did really well, and is starting to learn how to start and stop better. She is such a big girl, I can't believe how fast she's growing, and how fast the time goes by.

Not to be left out, Peyton is talking more these days, alot of which you can't understand, but as we were riding bikes this afternoon, when cars would come we'd tell the girls to get out of the road, and Peyton's reaction was darling, I love how she says, "car coming"! Don't mind her hair I really did do it this morning, in a ponytail, guess it's not quite long enough to stay up all day long, and I didn't really feel like fixing it since we didn't go anywhere. Poor girl can look back at this and just feel so cared for!
