Monkey Child

Kailee is so physical! In every sense of the word: strong, rough, monkey-like! She climbs up and onto everything! I've always laughed when I've seen one of these helmets pictured below in a children's catalog, but it's so tempting to buy it for her! Ha! I think this one is called a Bumper Bonnet for $12.95 in One Step Ahead! Good grief...I doubt a kid will tolerate it on her head for more than a minute. My theory is that if Kailee is going to climb anyway (she's SO strong willed) than I might as well let her practice so she can gain some sense of balance, depth, fear. I found her one day standing in the baby doll stroller, but I didn't make it over there fast enough before the wheels rolled and she tipped over backwards...crazy kid!
Our little daredevil!

While Leevi was home on R&R, Kailee started making this silly face where she snorts somewhat out her nose and scrunches up her face. This was Hailey's signature mark at around 6 months!

Kailee's version of the Scrunch Face...she makes the same noise and crinkles her nose, but she keeps her mouth open unlike Hailey.

Hailey at 7 months old...first night in our new house.
I remember I dressed Hailey up for no reason in particular other than to take some cute pics and all she would do was make this face!

And a few video clips of the girls...sorry, it ended up longer than I thought it would be...
