It's A New Day

Well, Hello!

Breeanna amazed me this morning. She brought me a pair of underwear then proceeded to take her diaper off. I put her in her undies and then she went and dragged her potty out into the sitting room. So we shall try potty training again. We put it to rest a couple weeks ago after we had many accidents and were getting no where. She is either ready, or just playing around.

She has been talking sooo much! It amazes me with what she comes out with. Her words are more clear and she is saying a few words in a sentence. Her favourite things to say right now are "outside", "here I come" and "play ball". Which all leads to playing outside. She has her ways!

Kayden is rolling all over. He has been getting up on his knees and either forhead or elbows. He is so determined to be mobile. Slow down little man, you have plenty of time! He is teething. His 2 bottom teeth rise and fall. Somedays I see them trying to come through, other days they disappear. He loves to chew and drool on everything!

Today is the first day of summer. The weather has been beautiful the past few days. We want to hurry and get a garden in. As well as get the kids a pool set up. Summer will be gone before we know it. So we better enjoy it while it lasts!

Love each other, much?

4 month well check

Kayden turned 4 months old on the 8th. Today he had his check up. He is my BIG BOY! He is 15lbs 3oz and 26.5 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for height and about 75th for weight. Everything else checked out a-ok! His ears, eyes, reflexes, strength, hips, heart, belly, etc! He is just perfect. I am so blessed to have 2 healthy happy children. He was all smiles and super flirty with the doctor. She was just gushing over him and his sister. Can you blame her? He had shots today. The first shot went amazingly well. He let out a little whine and quivered his lip. I was relieved he did so well. But the 2nd needle was a whole other story! He turned beat red and let out a long terrifying scream! I didnt think he was going to be able to catch his breath :( I held him and fed him and consoled him. Then got kicked out of our room. After he had more bottle in the waiting room, he was fine. Poor lil guy... So now he is good until he is 6 months old. I am so happy he is doing so well. Love my lil pork chop :)

Trial and error

This past weekend, we attemmpted to start Breeanna with potty training. She has been telling us when she has gone and is staying dry for long periods of time. So we thought it was worth a shot. We had her in big girl underwear, had the potty out in clear view... Constantly asking her if she had to go or wanted to sit on the potty. The first day went fairly well, she only had a few accidents. But when we put her on the potty she wouldnt do anything. The second day didnt go as well as the first. She had many accidents and seemed afraid of the potty. By the third day, it was a disaster. She even asked to be put back in a diaper. We just dont think she is ready yet. Once she is, she will let us know. She is a very smart girl! I think with moving and putting her in a big girl bed has been alot for her. But she has done amazingly well with everything, considering.

Kayden is doing great! Not much to report. He is a giggling, rolling machine! He has his 4 month well check tomorrow, so I will report how that goes after we have been.

Time is flying by!

I have not posted in nearly a month. My bad...

So much has been going on. We moved to our new place a couple weeks ago. I have been busy unpacking and setting up rooms. It is such an awesome place. We all just love it here!

Bree has changed alot! She is who she was meant to be out here. She sleeps well and naps again. She barely throws any tantrums. She is talking and laughing more. She is just a completely different kid, and I am so proud. She loves to run around outside. Play with her dog and collect things. She has her own room and I have decorated it with fairies and ponies. Today, we did something huge! She now has a big girl bed! I am not sure how the first night will go? Either really well or really bad... We shall see! She is speaking very well and has great manners. She apologizes to everything, says "oh sorry" to anything. Its beyond cute!

Big girl in her big girl bed!

Kayden started rolling from back to front on the 4th. Today he rolled from front to back! He is a rolling machine! He is good at pushing himself up and kicking those legs. So I bet in no time he will be crawling! He is sleeping through the night. It is pure heaven! I cant believe he does already. He is a wonderful boy :) He smiles and giggles on demand. And he is ticklish in his ribs and underarms. He loves Sesame Street! It is just so amazing how fast they change and develop and become themselves.
