Picture Tuesday, week 37

This week the little girlies have been out longer than they were in.  That's always a strange little milestone for me because the first half of their existence felt SO much longer and it's strange to think that they've been little babies being held and loved by their family for that long!  

This week it seems that Taryn has developed a death wish.  A few days ago I went to a youth fireside and she crawled behind the toilet while Glenn was bathing the boys and grabbed one of those little white caps that cover the toilet screws.  She got it lodged in her mouth with her jaw wedged opened as far as it would go.  Glenn turned her over and hit her back and it somehow dislodged a little and he was able to get it out but her poor little gums were bleeding from it being in there so tight. Poor Glenn.  I can't imagine how panicked I would have been if I had been here.  Then just yesterday I was doing breakfast dishes and turned to see her standing at the water cooler right underneath the hot water spout and reaching up to push the hot water button.  One more second and she would have had boiling hot water spraying down on her little face!  Seriously Taryn, slow down just a second!  

Kenna has been so cheery this week while Taryn has taken a little step back from beaming at just anyone.  Her brothers usually get smiles but anyone else she kind of gives blank stares as if to say, "you have not earned any reward from me.  Who are you?  And why should I care?"  It's fascinating to see how different the girls are already.  Taryn is very physical and Kenna is more emotional.  Kenna will just light up with a little bit of interaction and snuggles.  Taryn likes to play pat-a-cake, wrestle, and be swung around a bit.  They both do not love to be put down if you've been playing with them.  And they do not appreciate when you leave the room or walk past without picking them up.  I love seeing their little personalities come out even with just the few things that they're currently able to do.  

They're both crawling now.  Kenna's is almost like the worm.  She uses her legs and toes a lot and while she can get up on her knees she hasn't quite started to use them in a real crawl yet.  She can still get anywhere she wants to go though.  And Taryn's little crawl is mostly one legged.  She kind of swings her right leg up to the side to move her forward and then scoots the left one forward.  It's pretty funny but the girl can move.  This week I've seen Kenna and Taryn crawl right over the top of their sister to get to a toy or something that they wanted on the other side.  The sister being crawled on does not enjoy it very much but the sister doing the climbing doesn't seem to notice that at all.  I sure love my little baby girls.  

Here they are at 37 weeks old!

 And trying to figure out what that big black thing is that Mom keeps holding in front of her face.

 Sweet T.

 Here's her blank stare.  Still adorable.
