Mom and Dad have been a bit sleep deprived lately; Keaton hasn't been the best sleeper...One night she was actually up at 8:30, 9:30, 10:30, 12:30, 3:30 and 4:30! (Thankfully all the nights haven't been that rough-but goodness!) I think I snapped this shot one early morning -- just when your on your last leg she gives you this ornery smile...oh well, surely we are getting close to a full nights sleep! (although I was a bit disheartened when pjw's cousin said her boys didn't sleep until "6"...I said, "well she's already 6 months"...and she said, "no, 6 years!)

I have some video of her crawling that I'll post soon!

A couple of pictures of C from over the weekend....

1. On our way to yia yias for her annual St. Nicks party, sporting her new red coat yia yia got her. Im thinking we may need to install the larger car seat to accomodate winter coats....

2. UB taught her a while ago how to drink the milk out of her cereal bowl...she is now big enough to do it; and does-EVERYTIME!

Blah....

So Chaney had been eyeballing the gifts all day. Moving them around the house, dropping them in her diaper bag, peoples shoes, etc. I thought i was going to bust her shaking one of the gifts but I caught this instead. ("blah" is the word she uses for "yucky" or "dirty" -- turn your volumes up)

Miss K went to Lucy's today and I kept C at home for a change. After lunch we made our first batch of Rice Krispie Treats. She helped pour all the Rice Krispies in and of course, lick the bowl!

So I found out over Thanksgiving more people check in with the blog than I knew, and sadly they have been disappointed at the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. (I'm not really counting Dad's post of C's favorite song as a legitimate post. It was really just a way of putting the link somewhere with easy access so when C comes up to the computer singing "oh,oh,oh" at the top of her lungs we can respond with the song in a timely manner...)

So a recap...

We had a great Thanksgiving. We did PJW's family on Thanksgiving Day, ending up back at our house late afternoon where we did dinner with Granny and UB. And then it was to bed early as the girls were on their last leg, and on mom and dad's last nerve...(we are talkin' wiped out-C even fell asleep in her car seat on the way home and she NEVER does that!) Friday morning we headed to KC for the Luna Thanksgiving/MU v KU football game. The girls stayed behind this year, allowing mom and dad a fun weekend. MU won, I wasn't pregnant for the first time in two years - a good time was had by all...

AND THEN, Monday, Great Granny B and Grandpa B came up along with "Aunt Missy" and we had another yummy Thanksgiving meal! Shew, it was a lot of eating but spread out over a few days seemed justifiable.

The girls are doing great. I swear C is growing an inch a week! And K is sitting up and almost crawling already! She is scooting everywhere and gets on her little knees and hands and rocks like shes ready to go at any moment. (and I dont want to jinx it-but she actually slept till 5:45 this morning-yes, just over 5 months old and we still aren't consistently sleeping through the night...sigh)

We tried our hardest to take a family picture on Thanksgiving...this very well might be where we started the day off on the wrong foot...

Chaney's Favorite Song

She likes to sing the Oh, Oh, Oh Oh....
