Dyson's birthday party

Happy 8th birthday Dyson!!!! We love you!

Caleb's attempt at skating. He threw a fit because he wanted the skates on and then quickly changed his mind!

Caleb and Daddy were able to sneak in a quick swim one night before bed!

Caleb loved going down the blow up slide!

6 weeks old

So I also started Kennedy's 1 month post and it never got done so now it will be a 6 week update! At her 1 month check up she was 10 lbs 14.5 oz and 22". Here's some things she's up to lately

- eats every 3-4 hours during the day. At night she'll go 5-6 the first feeding and then 3-4 the rest. She's a great sleeper!

- starting to be a lot more alert and awake during the day

- HATES being dirty and lets you know she's ready to be changed! Such a girl already

- loves being outside, even though its been crazy hot and we cant stay out long

- grunts all the time like Caleb did.

- wiggles and bucks all around (MiMi calls her bucking bronco) but started having a lot more control with her head

- in size 1 diapers but already pooping through them, I think we may have the same problems we had with Caleb and his blow outs!

- has some of the biggest man farts and blow outs. Its amazing these sounds come from such a sweet little girl!!

- had her first "official" babysitter last night. She was great and ate 7 oz from the bottle! She's taken the bottle pretty well the few times she's had it.

- bathes in big girl bath without the little net on it. She likes taking baths.

Its going to take some getting used to to push this monster!!

She's started smiling a little and not just when going to sleep!

MiMi we are still doing tummy time, even though its not her favorite and she likes to go to sleep during it sometimes.

20 months

Ok so I'm a little behind on this post. I actually started it back when I was supposed to post it and it never got done. Oh well!!

Caleb is 20 months old and here are some things he's up to

- started "school" Parent's Day out, every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30-2:30. He loves it. I picked him up the first day and asked if he was ready to go home and he looked at me, shook his head and said "MO" (which is his new way oh saying no)

This was my attempt at a 1st day of school picture. He would not let me get one so I tried to sneak one in the car and he wasn't tricked.

Another attempt at school but he was too busy playing!

- He has said "No" forever no, usually in "Oh No!" but one day about 2 months ago he just all of a sudden started saying "Oh MO!!" so now everything is "Mo" And now he has decided to tell me no and stop when he's doing something and knows I'm about to say it to him. And when he climbs up on the kitchen table or countertop, I know he's up there because I'll hear him saying Get down, Get down. He knows its coming so he just tells himself while standing and playing up there!

- Caleb LOVES his Sissy! He will randomly run and to check on her, give her a big kiss on the head and then run off. He also loves Sissy's paci! He will rip it out of her mouth and run off with it! He has started trying to put it in her mouth if she's fussing and doesn't have it.

- He finally got in his molars. I took all of July but they are finally in. So now he has 4 teeth on top and 4 on bottom and then his 4 molars in the back. The kid is finally getting more teeth! They take their time but they are slowly filling up his mouth! :)

- Hurricane Caleb loves to destroy, tear apart, and make a mess of everything! If he can throw it hit something with it, dang it, rip it apart, or pull everything out he will.

- Caleb does love to throw some fits! You just flip the light switch and my sweet little boy is on the floor screaming and yelling! We are working on hitting and pinching during these fits! And he loves grabbing daddy's glasses off his face. He know what he wants and wants it right then.

- Caleb is talking all the time! Some times you can understand it and sometimes not. He will say and sign things like "Eat more please". His vocabulary his really expanded these last 2 months. Tyler and I have started the old trick of spelling things because if he hears them you are in trouble. If he hears walk, outside, snack, cookie, to name a few then he is begging. I waited and waited for MaMa and now thats all I hear. "Mama, Mama Mama Mama" "More juice Mama, I want outside Mama, Backyardigans Mama..." And I have to admit I teared up when I put him to bed and as I was tucking him in, I said I love you Caleb and as I started to walk away I heard "I love you Mama" so sweet!!

- Caleb loves to go on walks around the block. We are working on staying on the sidewalk and depending on his mood, he can do it if he chooses. He loves to point out the rocks and put them in his golf bag he pushes with him.

- We are attempting to get him to sleep in his big boy bed! After a couple failed attempts, he is sleeping in there right now. He didn't even get out of bed once this time!!

He wanted to bring his golf bag to bed.

To sum it up Caleb is still full of energy, with a lot to say, and the light of our lives! We love him so much and just can't get enough hugs and kisses. He is growing up at warped speed right before our eyes!!
