Some fun things about Zara:
She still loves her binkie and sucks on her tongue while she sleeps. (something Kitana did and still does!)
She LOVES Kitana and gets very upset when she cries. So I always end up with two crying girls at the same time! Even if Kitana sounds slightly upset Zara will cry :(
She also loves the sound of Kitana's voice and you can tell when she's listening. She likes to keep tabs on her.
She sleeps from about 9pm-3am, and then wakes up every 2-3 hours after that to eat until about 9am. This can vary from day to day, but has been slightly consistent for the last few days. Still makes for a very sleeping Mama since Paul and I usually got to be around midnight. I just need to go to bed earlier...it's my fault!
She spits up a TON! and has several dirty diapers a day. She always spits up while I'm changing her diaper, and poops while I'm burping her. She has the bodily functions of a boy!!
Recently she has started kind of chewing on her tongue. She's started blowing spit bubbles a little and it's sooo cute. She also has been doing lots of cooing and smiling.
She loves for me to sing to her, she always gets a big smile and I swear the other day she way trying to sing along :)
She enjoys laying on her play mat and looking in the mirror at herself. This gets lots of smiles too, she's a lot like her daddy already!
She is surprisingly happy during tummy time for the first couple of minutes.
She's already in size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothes.
She is a fan of having her alone time.
She gets very upset when she's tired and likes to be rocked/bounced to sleep. The harder you can bounce her the better!
(This bouncy seat looks sooo uncomfortable! I swear she has very limited time in it)
Some fun things about Kitana:
She is doing great as a big sister and loves to mimic mommy with her baby dolls. It fun and strange to watch as she tried to nurse her baby...too cute!
She loves singing and will make up random songs singing about different things that have been happening in her life recently.
She started sleeping through the night with dry panties this last week. Her diaper has been dry for at least a month at night and we finally decided to switch to panties.
She loves dance!
She loves Dora even more!!
She learned to swim this summer thanks to her grandma Koontz whom she calls her pink grandma! and my mom is her brown grammy..she's so silly :) She picked up swimming quickly and can hold her breath for a really long time under water!
She is very excited to be baptized when she turns 8.
She can pretty much count to 30. She is very good at recognizing letters and numbers. She knows her name starts with the letter K and points it out to us all the time on signs and in stories.
She loves when her daddy makes up stories and tells them to her about her stuffed animals. She has ventured out and started making up some of her own!
She sleeps with about 20 stuffed animals at night.
Her favorite foods are pickled beats and olives :)
She loves anything with buttons..she always says "I LOVE buttons!"

She loves to play outside...too bad it's been really hot lately, she's been missing it :(
She loves to play "talk" where she has conversations with her animals or dolls. Her favorite is when mom or dad play with her, but she's also been learning she can play talk by her self and be the voice for both of the characters involved!

She has recently starting talking back and saying "no!" when we ask her to do something. Not so fun, but we are learning how to deal with it.
We sure do love our girls :)
I love this post!! So fun! I was smiling and laughing while I was reading it :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids both slept just like Zara...the big stretch followed by the up every few hours. My only advice...go to bed earlier!! It will make all the difference in the world!
I loved watching Kate pretend to feed her dolls and she also loved to play the Talk game!! She has full on conversations and even yells at her 'friends' in her play room. I love their imaginations at this age :) And I can't believe her favorite foods!!
Your girls are adorable and perfect! You are a wonderful mother Falon! Your happy kids and their cute smiles say it all!
