five on friday: smiles, sisters and sweetness

Happy Friday! I say it every week, but the days keep on flying by. Time flies when you’re having fun! Or taking care of two babies. Same thing, right?

ONE. We started cloth diapering Kaelyn as of last Saturday. While I was pregnant, I bought some Kawaii-brand “newborn” diapers (sized for babies from 6 to 22 pounds). They were very inexpensive as far as cloth diapers go, and I was excited to have something smaller to use this time around, since Kaya’s one-size Bumgenius diapers didn’t really fit her until she was about 10 weeks old. So far, these have been working really well for my little peanut.

A few months ago, I threw around the idea of having a “kitty-themed” birthday party for her, and since Kitty is still her favorite thing ever, that’s what we’re going to do. I really want to keep it simple… just get her some balloons and make a cute cake. I’m really excited for her to just enjoy her special day! 🙂kittybirthdaypinterestboard2014 THREE. I’m actually surprised it’s taken her this long to do it, but Kaya pretended to nurse her baby doll this week! She grabbed my nursing cover, climbed up in the chair, and pulled her shirt down. She’s a little mommy in the making!_MG_3761 _MG_3758 FOUR. While I was taking their individual weekly/monthly photos, I let Kaya hold Kaelyn all on her own (the armchair definitely helped, and I was right there in case she decided to make a sudden move). Kaya LOVED it and kept asking to do it again._MG_3802 Kaelyn was pretty smiley about being so close to her sister, too. 🙂_MG_3799 Kisses._MG_3797 FIVE. Her smile. Seriously… my heart explodes on a daily basis from this girl._MG_3766Happy weekend! Hopefully the weather stays nice so we can cook out and have cupcakes for Michael’s birthday 🙂
