Bedtime

Our routine consists of their last milk around 6, play in their room until around 7, then bedtime. Just recently both girls started demanding kisses from both Mamo and Mom before they will lay down with their fish and blankets. They stand up in their cribs hanging on to the outer rail and pucker up. They are so stinkin cute!

The Shedd Aquarium

Today we met up with Jenny and Becky Smith at The Shedd. We saw so many different kinds of fish, turtles, and sting rays. It was a very fun full day. Thank you awesome ladies for a great time!

Right before bedtime, Payton discovered she can climb on top of the toy chest and from there she can climb on top of the changing dresser. Then she "turns around to go down" and basically jumps off from way high up there. This girls has no fear! (It's too high to let her jump off herself, so we are right there to easily guide her down).

Rayla clearly says many words now like outside, eyes, nose, again, please, apple, baby, and Mamo.

Sickness continues

It's official, Payton had parent-diagnosed Roseola. On top of that the whole household has a cold with a nasty cough. Let's hope this all passes before Yaya and Papa Joe come in a couple weeks.

Post-Florida vacation

Hi everyone, we will write later about our first family trip to Florida and we will include pictures. But for tonight, it's about poor little Payton. She is sick. She's had a fever almost all day and night and she barely lifts her head to look around. Our baby is crying/whining from being so miserable.

Rayla seems to be doing well, so let's hope the sickness passes over her. But Rayla was upset because she wanted to play with Payton. She kept signing "sleep" and pointing to her sister.

It is a sad night in the Hyem house. Hope Payton gets more rest and that she feels better tomorrow.

Yaya's Birthday!

Yesterday we had a wonderful day celebrating Yaya's birthday. Payton and Rayla gave Yaya a wonderful Skype session for her cake! They stacked blocks, danced with their radios, played peek a boo and most importantly ended the night with big kisses to Yaya. They are so cute they actually kiss the laptop just as though Yaya was right their. So thankful for technology to help with distance.
Love you Yaya!
