Ever since little Sophie came we have had two issues. Issue #1 is a little jealousy on the part of Kennedy involving Sophies' clothes. If Sophie has on plaid, Kennedy has to wear plaid, if Sophie has on stripes then Kennedy wants stripes. So I guess from now on I will have to buy them the same or similar clothes because Kennedy wants to wear "cute" and "special" clothes just like her little sister.

Issue #2 is potty training regression. Before Sophie came Kennedy was perfectly potty trained, since Sophie came into the world Kennedy has accidents all the time. In the past week she has gone #2 in her swimming suit in the pool. Needless to say I am running out of ideas and patience so any help on this front is welcome. Kennedy is catching on to my annoyance, whenever she has to tell me she had an accident she comes up close and pushes my face into a smile before she tells me and says, "Mom, I know you are going to be mad but just smile and be only a little mad."

Isn't she just the picture of innocence (above). Her cranium looks a little large and freakish but in reality she is darn cute!

Sophie loves to coo. When she is awake she is watching and following anyone with her eyes and jibber jabbing. I have really been lacking in playing with the kids lately because I have been trying to get us all packed up (argh!) but the kids have been troopers and I can't wait to be done with the move.
Things that currently make me happy and that I love:
1. Kennedy's wackadoodle hair in the humidity, her "lions mane" we like to call it.
2. Long warm baths when the kids are asleep.
3. Spinning class at the YMCA.
4. The book I am reading The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd.
5. Air conditioning- Texas is freakin hot and everytime I get into the car or walk outside from a cool building it makes me want to say bad words.

The middle picture looks a lot like your baby pictures.
First of all LOVE those dresses. They are adorable. Those are some great shots of Sophie. It's so cute when they start showing their personality. She seems really chilled out and totally not the first child. Can I come help you out on Friday? If so email me at matullis@gmail.com
I'll miss having y'all here.
Love the pics. So sorry about the pooping in the bathing suit--I have no advice there. I'm pretty sure that would drive me to some serious mommy frustration pretty quickly. (I don't deal well with poop!) But, that is so hilarious about her trying to force you to smile about it.
Kennedy sounds adorable. How cute that she forces you to smile before telling you the bad news. This will not be a good thing when she's in Jr. High! :)
Your kids are both darling. What little angels. Aren't you so glad you're a mom?
loved the update and pictures. Kennedy is just such a little adult! I can't wait to see sophie! and I LOVE the dresses!
So, I totally found you through April Gunderson and I just couldn't resist seeing mike's family! I hope that all of well in Texas!
Keep it real bloggers!
