Pretties

So . . . .everyday my sister gets to go to this special drawer and pick out pretties. I finally decided that I want to have a pretty. So my mom said we could give it a try. So she took me over to that special drawer and I grabbed a whole hand full of pretties. She said she was sorry but I could probably only handle one pretty for now and that when I am bigger I can use more. Then we went in to the living room and I got to get my very own pink butterfly pretty put in my hair. Don't you like it!! I hope this will become an everyday event like my sister has. I think I am going to ask Santa for my own pretties this year, my sister is very possessive over hers. But thanks Lauren for letting me try out this pretty for now. XOXO

It's Fall Time

This last weekend I went to visit my grandma and grandpa in Minnesota. We haven't seen them in a long time so I was missing them. We had so much fun there, I love seeing my cousin Izaak! On Sunday it was really nice out side so my mom said lets go play outside before football starts. (Football seems to be a very important thing on Sundays.) So we did and my dad made a BIG leaf pile. I ran through it, jumped in it, and buried myself in it. Then grandma brought out the recycling bin to pick the leaves up in and Izaak and I had a different idea. We both climbed in on top of the leaves and dad pulled us around like we were in a race car. We almost fell out a couple of times. I never knew fall was so much fun. Brielle liked it too but she kept trying to eat the leaves. She always thinks she needs to put everything in her mouth. Those silly babies, I am sure I never did anything like that ;).

Getting Ready for Halloween

So we tried something new this year. Instead of carving our pumpkins we painted them. I had a great time. I started painting mine then my dad gave it big blue eyes ad green hair. Then I thought I would add a little something to Grandma's, her cat needed a little red and yellow to give it color. My mom did Brielle's and gave it a silver smile. Sadie did hers all by herself. Then we all put our names on them and put them on the front stoop for people to see on Halloween. I can't wait until Halloween I am going to dress up in my mouse and go to all the neighbors and get some candy. Last year Jayda and I went to only four houses and came home with a whole bag full of candy. This year I am hoping my mom will let me go to six houses!!

So Lauren gave you all her update so I will fill you in with what is new with me too. I am 6 months old and getting SO BIG (arms up everyone). I went to meet my new doctor today too. She says that I am 26inches long (70%) and catching up to my sister fast. I am right on track with weight being 16lb. (50%). As for what is new with me I get big girls food now. I love oatmeal and now my mom even mixes some fruit in with it and I can't eat it fast enough, my mom says that is the one thing I have in common with my big sister. I have also been trying out some vegetables. All I have to say about that is who ever came up with squash should be squashed - YUK!! My mom says I am do much better at naps and night time than my sister did. I just lie down in my crib and snuggle with my blanket and go to sleep on my own. Lauren had to get rocked and snuggled and play with mom and dad's hair. I do like my mom's hair but I found out that if you just play with your own hair it does the same thing. I have been making new friends with the kids at daycare. I really like that my cousin Sadie and my sister are there with me we have lots of fun. I even got to start trying this stuff called formula there - it isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be (I still like mom best - shhhh don't tell). Hugs and Kisses to all of you in MN, see you soon.

Hi everyone if you read our last post you would have heard that I am almost 2 AND a 1/2 now. My sister and I went to doctor today to see how big we are. I am sorry to say that I am not quite as big as I thought I was. I am 33inches tall which only puts me in the 7%. But not to worry I weigh 29lb. which is in the 50%. So all though I am right on target for weight I have a little work to do in the height department. My other update for everyone is that I have officially gone three weeks with out diapers now - and gone over a week without an accident. My mom says it was worth all the stickers and suckers. . . I agree. I told everyone that my size 4 diapers are for Brielle when she is bigger. We also took the rails off my big girl bed. Dad still listens every night for me to fall out of the bed but it hasn't happened yet. The other night he heard a big thump and came up the stairs running, but I didn't fall out of my bed instead I was trying to walk around the house in the dark and ran right into the door to my bedroom. My mom and dad suggested that I just stay in my bed, so I have been trying that out - it is just those train whistles that keep waking me up. Well I miss all my friends, cousins, and grandparents in MN and I hope to see you all soon. XOXO!

We're Back !!

So I bet you all have forgotten what we look like . . . well here we are! Today is a very special day, it is Brielle's half birthday AND my 29th month birthday. We were both born on the 6th so we get to share birthdays (kind of). My mom says that we might think it is cool now but in a few years we won't like it so much. We have so much to report. Two weekends ago our uncle Alan got married to Chrissy. We love Chrissy so we are so lucky to have her as our aunt!! Then last weekend we got to help them open all their presents. Then this last weekend we got to go with our parents to look for a new house. I had fun picking out which room was going to be mine in all of them. Poor Brielle was stuck in her car seat the whole time so she decided that it was a good idea to take a nap. Mom and Dad found one they really like so hopefully they can buy it. We are sorry we have been gone for so long but we promise to blog much more often now that the technical difficulties are taken care of. Love Ya!!
