We have had a good month. Kaylie has a new hobby. Its pretty sweet. She likes to scrapbook! She is pretty good at it too. (I will post pictures soon). What happened is that she started really being interested in my scrapbook supplies so Erick suggested I let her try. I figured I have a lot of stickers, paper and other supplies that weren't being used so I might as well let her use them. She also loves the game Candyland. I'm really proud of how much she is growing and learning everyday. I truly love her. One more quick Kaylie story until I go on to Sophie (I could talk about my girls for hours) Today at church Kaylie took the bread during the Sacrament. It may not seem like a big deal but Kaylie doesn't like bread. We have been talking about the importance of the Sacrament and today she took it. Its little moments like those that you really think yeah she's starting to get it. What a blessing. She brings so much joy into our lives. I love my little miss!
Now onto my other little Angel Baby. Sophie!! Sophie is a doll. She is growing a personality of her own and I love to watch her. She is usually pretty content and mellow (I get asked if she is always so content and for the most part yes she is) However, she is starting to realize when Kaylie is asleep and she wants all my attention! Its kind of funny. I love her so much though and she is so fun to coo at and snuggle that I don't mind finding other time to work on projects and chores. She brings joy into our life with her innocent love and smiles. She hit 3 mos yesterday and I keep pinching myself to see if it really has been 3 mos. I am so grateful to have her in our lives.
Well since I updated you on the girls I might as well throw in a bit about Erick and I. We are doing well. We finally got an entertainment center! I was so excited! It is very pretty and hold's the T.V. quite well and now we get our filing cabinets to be filing cabinets. Yeah!!! I am really excited about that. I am enjoying being at home but still struggling to find my place in the "at home" world. Its hard to know how much time to spend being with my babies, how much to spend cleaning the house, how much to devote to projects and just how to be at home. I'm not used to not being as structured as I usually am. It has been a blessing though. I am having a chance to learn about myself and what I need to do and want to do. I am thankful for the opportunities to learn that I have on a daily basis. All in all the Cortes Family is doing well.
