September has come and gone

It seems that September has come and gone in our household. Kylie of course started Kindergarten this year and has been busy as a bee. She decided that she needed to do gymnastics this year since her favorite dance teachers have left. She takes gymnastics on thursday nights. So far she enjoys that when she listens to the teacher. We have also joined the world of homework now so our routine has changed greatly in the Carpenter house. Kylie has met several new friends since she had to leave all of the old ones behind to go to different schools. The price you pay for going to daycare at a hospital I guess; none of your friends live in Benton and attend the same school as you. Kylie seems to like her teacher Mrs. Elliott alot and is growing fond of the routine of P.E., music, and art class. As for Avery Grace she got her first tooth this month quickly followed by her second tooth. She turned six months old, I just can't believe she is already that old. She is the spitting image of her sister at this age. Of course both girls still favor their daddy, but they are long and lanky like their mommy. Actually, I wouldn't call Avery lanky at this time but she is long. She went for her six month check up this week and weighed 15 pounds 5 ounces and is 27 inches long. She rolls all over the house and tries really hard to crawl before she takes that nose dive into the carpet when her arms just won't go. She can sit up by herself for brief periods and she loves to eat. She wants what is on your plate though and loves to drink from our cup. As for Brett and I this month we just tote kids everywhere. We even had to get a huge calendar to keep up with where we have to be when. Brett had a sniper school this month put on by Little Rock P.D. and that was gruelling but he survived. However, I think he would rather take that course again before ever agreeing to eat in the school cafeteria with Kylie. He says Breakfast day at school made him BARF! No, I am serious. I can't say I really did alot this month; work is crazy busy as usual. I also could sleep for about a month and use a maid in a desperate way but who couldn't. So the month is almost to an end and we are discussing Halloween costumes at our house. So stay tuned next month for some cute fall/halloween pics. Until then Happy Fall!
