Kingdom of Knuffel

I love the little baby. Such a wittle sweety!

I have to laugh when they were here Joslyn and Zack (the oldest) were constantly fighting. You'd think they were siblings. lol And then they went home and she was upset that she didn't have anyone to play with. She and Zack are a lot a like. I think Joslyn is over wanting siblings. I know I'm over wanting another baby. lol

Went to the zoo with two of my nieces yesterday. One's four, the other's barely over one
Exit is through their gift shop
The one year old saw the budgie plushies and immediately grabbed two. She quickly dropped one cuz hey they're pretty round and she's one
Every other bid mom tried for her to be tempted with against the budgie, she either chose budgie or both
She got her budgie

Her sister knew what she wanted, found an employee, and immediately started talking to her
Said employee was so enthralled by this four year old with no fear of strangers or even caution that we got a 25% discount. Said older niece ended up with a unicorn gown candy stick and a small plushie attached to it

Their mom was not overly thrilled, but they were with their aunt and grandma so it's gonna happen

lol Cute!

The height difference between me and the younger wasn't very fun
I spent a lot of time either hunched or awkwardly tilting cuz public area, she gotta hold an adult's hand, if she didn't want to be carried
My brother and his wife don't use a stroller once the kid is walking consistently. Once they're at that point, they can walk. Carried if they're tired
Unlike our sister, her oldest is a year younger and youngest a couple months younger than our brother's two, where they still use a stroller for both in areas like theme parks. In stores they usually end up in the kid sitting thing that the carts have, if they don't have one of those fancy schmancy racecar ones

Unsurprisingly enough, my sister's two are heavier than my brother's two
Add in the fact that brother and his wife are thin, sister and her husband are large sister has always been on the sturdier side, even in high school when she had dance and cheerleading and all that stuff she was, as mom says, chunky, and that's gonna make things really interesting to see as they grow up, among other things

Wow. I kept my daughter in a stroller till about three. Although I think when we went to the zoo I took the stroller because there was no way I could carry her every time she got tired.

Wow. My sister is skinny, unlike me, and her youngest is a chunky monkey.

Their oldest, she's a ball of energy
Her little sister is a bit of a chonk but she's only three or four months into walking unaided so she might lose that after a year or so

Both families are active, but at the same time I wouldn't be too surprised is my nephew and his sister end up being on the larger side anyway

My sister is the short and chunky one, the rest of us are tall string beans lol

Hello guys I'm back!
What did I miss?

My trip was pretty fun except for the part where my phone was stolen.

That sucks. But I'm glad it was fun besides that.
