Cheeeeeeeese!

The girls are feeling a bit under the weather today, so with them in bed and Jen out shopping I had to stop and share a few more pics with you. On our trip to Oregon Kate loved the Clifford Book that Grandma and Grandpa had. On one page Cliffords Mom was checking his teeth, and Kate loved to imitate that - flashing her teeth in a way she would not do when faced with either a camera or a toothbrush. Well, one day we were playing peek-a-boo at the dinner table and Jen actually caught her "Cheesy Smile".

Kate was awake at the normal time this morning. These days she likes to get up in the morning but hates to change out of her pajamas. She will scream for her pajama pants as if she developed a relationship with them while she was sleeping. This morning, while recovering with Dad from the catastrophe of having to wear clothes she decided that we needed to have pancakes for breakfast.

I've started letting her help cook. She scoops the coffee and the pancake mix and helps to stir things sometimes. The kid likes pancakes (what kid doesn't I guess) mostly for the stuff you put on top. So as the table is being set you hear "Jam...yay!" and "Dip...yay!" (dip is syrup of course)

She also likes using everyone's silverware but her own, as I realized when I picked up my sugar encrusted fork.

After breakfast we retired to the living room where Claire entertained us on her musical piano. She in on the verge of walking and crawling all at the same time, like her sister. We finally got some video of her standing up on her own.

Oh, and one more for the "Guess Who" line... although this one is easy.
