Z-O-O

Yesterday, my sister and I decided to take advantage of the overcast day and head to the Santa Ana zoo.
Of course, I thought my camera battery was fully charged. I was wrong. But my sis was on top of it. Here are some of her pictures from the day. When I remember to charge my battery, maybe I will download the few that I took.

Kaelyn's 1st date

I think it is really important for Kaelyn and Sadie to have a special relationship with their daddy. It is not only important for their self esteem, but also to help them realize when the get older (much, much older) what type of boy or man they should be with. And how a man should treat a woman. The importance of respect, love and communication in a relationship.

I had some family friends from back home do this with their daughters and I thought what a great idea.
And so a new tradition has started. Daddy Date night. Kaelyn (and eventually Sadie) will get all dressed up once a month and go on a special date with Daddy. They will get to choose where they go to dinner and any extra special activity they will do.

Kaelyn was so excited to go. She picked out a very special dress, which she told me was "Daddy's favorite." And yes it is her Christmas dress. And she even had to put on jewelry. Today's choice a lei!! Perfect.
The Restaurant: Panda Express
The Food: Chinese noodles, vegetables, pink lemonade, fortune cookie and a chocolate chip cookie.
Special activity: Shopping at Ross, where she picked out a new dress and a shirt for Jack. (got to love my little shopper)

They both had so much fun!

And yes, Jack will get to do "Boys night out" with Daddy once a month too!!

Getting things rolling

4 months old and Sadie is already rolling over. She seems to be doing everything a little quicker than my other two. I think she just wants to keep up.

She will even put her legs under her, butt in the air and push herself forward a little.
It's incredible! She is definitely on the move. I will lay her down on her play-mat and moments later she is completely in a different spot or on her belly. She is not only rolling from back to front, but on occasion will roll from her stomach to her back. It is amazing. She is everywhere. It won't be long and she will be crawling after the other two.

Sleep!! I think I am getting too much sleep. I didn't think it was possible. But the longer she sleeps at night, the more tired I am in the morning. She is giving me 7 to sometimes 9 hour stretches of sleep. It is so amazing! I just wish my body would get used to it so I wouldn't be so tired in the morning. Thank goodness for coffee!!!

Kaelyn and Jack are just so sweet with Sadie. And Sadie can't get enough of her brother and sister. Her face just lights up when she sees them or they play with her. It just melts my heart!
