Wow, has it been a long time since I have written about what Kristen is up to and now her baby brother Austin! Well, Kristen absolutely loves Austin..she can't get enough of him. She loves to tickle him, especially his feet, kiss him and take pictures with him. Every now ant hen she tries to pick him up..but mommy comes to his rescue of not being dropped on his head. She also, loved to cover him up with a blanket and tell him, "Night, night". She has been excited about him since the day he was born. When she first met him she just couldn't stop looking at him and smiling the biggest smile I had ever seen. There is no doubt she loves her brother.

So, what new things is Kristen doing..talking up a storm. She has her own language plus english thatshe uses regularly everyday! Right now she is into praying with us. She loves to say, "Pray" when we tell her we are going to pray, and she also loves to hold our hands during the prayer. A couple of weeks ago at dinner she bowed her head when we started to pray, but instead of Daddy praying, it was Kristen. She said, "Dea Lor, biddi boddi baddi bah. YaY!!" She was so excited that she was the one saying the prayer.

This week Kristen has been super sick with a high fever, bad cough, double ear infection, and super sore throat. Good times here! The greatest part is when we saw the doctor and she asked Kristen to take a deep breath, Kristen was able to follow her example! It was so fun to see her be able to do that.

Tonight, Kristen was playing at her kitchen, totally pretending. She was taking her play dishes and washing them in the sink, meanwhile pretending to wash her hands in between each dish. It is so great to see her mind pretending and her reaching great milestones.

Other things have happened I just can't think of them now..so until I remember..have good times.
