My Growing Babies

Bridget's 1st Birthday was Friday (the 17th)and we had a ladybug cake! She promptly knocked her cake in the floor (carpet of course). She's a mess but we love her! I can't believe how fast this year flew by! She is already walking and trying so hard to talk. The doorbell rang the other day and I swear she said "who is it?"! She is very laid back and mellow and likes to watch her big sisters play. But she'll also get into everything so we have to keep a sharp eye on her.

Bridget went to the doctor on Monday (the 20th) and she weighs 19 lbs 5.9 oz and is 28.25 inches tall. She is almost back on her growth curve after falling way off just 6 months ago. She had to get 4 shots but, as always, she was back to her smiley self within seconds. She's my little ray of sunshine!

Kaydence had her 2 year check up Wednesday,the 22nd (yes, 2 months late!). She weighs 28.2 lbs and is 35.25 inches tall. Apparently she's tall and skinny compared to other kids her age. She had to have 2 shots and have her hemoglobin (sp?)and lead checked. She went around the rest of the day saying "I got shot." LOL She is talking nonstop these days and has a huge vocabulary but we are a little concerned about her articulation so she's having her speech evaluated.

Kaydence is our little monkey. She loves to climb and run and jump. Her favorite 'indoor' activity is coloring--on my walls and doors! No more unsupervised coloring--Mommy now knows better!

Katherine is doing great. She's going to start a pre-K/Mothers Day Out in the fall. She so excited about going to school!

The new house is great. I'll post pics soon. We are almost completely unpacked and settled--can you believe it?!

Cory and I are doing well. He's still working at a job site in Winchester and I think he's enjoyed it. Mary Kay is going great too. I've had a few set-backs and some hurdles but overall it has been an amazing experience.

I'm really trying to be a better blogger! I think I still have some work to do!

LOVES!!

Catching Up

Since I haven't been around for a while I thought I'd catch everyone up! We had a wonderful Christmas. We stayed home and it was so relaxing! I really missed my family but it was nice not having to pack and travel.

We got a puppy!!!!! He's a black & white border collie and we named him MacGyver. We're working on housetraining...he peed on my foot yesterday so I'm not sure how well its going!

We are taking Kaydence's paci...that isn't going too well either. She goes around saying "paaaaci, paaaaci!" She only gets it when she's sleeping and she gets really ticked when she wakes up and can't keep it. We also think potty training is riiiight around the corner. She tells me after right after she pees or poops. I hope it happens soon! Two in diapers is expensive.

Bridget is doing well. She's up to 14 lbs 14 oz. She goes back to the doctor in April for her 12 month check up. She is sleeping through the night and is learning to use a sippy cup! She makes a mess with it but likes whats in it (we always use diluted juice to help with the learning process).

Katherine is little miss sassy! I don't know how my Mom put up with me and my sister's smart mouths. One minute I want to hug her she's so sweet and the next I want to send her off to boarding school in Switzerland. Seriously...She'll be starting Mothers Day Out in the fall...maybe I'll get some of my sanity back!

Cory and I are doing fine. He has been back out in the garage building furniture...yay!! He's building me two coffee tables/storage cubes/ottomans. We designed them and they are going to be awesome...I can't wait. I've been working on my MK business and trying to keep from pulling my hair out during these cold winter months.

I'll post pics soon!

LOVES!!!
