Below August 2012

This handsome guy has 6 teeth
He is in 12-18 month clothing and in the 10% for weight and the 25% for hight.
The sippy is now his drink of choice, expect at midnight… he still likes his bottle.
He thinks he's hilarious.. and he is.
Cars and balls are his favorite toys
Naps in the morning at about 9:00 am, and again at about 12:30 pm
Climbing is his favorite- he likes to stand on anything and everything
Boys will be boys… throwing, kicking, hitting thing with sticks… he is such a boy
Bother likes few people. He either likes you or he screams at you.
His temper is lovely.. when he doesn't get what he wants he screams
3 bottles a night are what he goes through
we had a hard time getting him to eat… turns out he just wanted to feed himself.
K is one of his favorite people
He will fall asleep in his car seat if he cries long enough :(
Bedtime is 7:00 he wakes up at 10:30, 12:30, 3:00 and 4:30- then if gets disturbed he wakes up too. Most times he takes a while to fall back asleep, when he wakes up he sits up- and cries-- but sometimes when I say "shh" he will flop back down and go right to sleep
But when he wakes up in the morning he gives the BEST HUGS… If he has not soaked though-I change his bum at about midnight, but sometimes he still soaks through

Below August 2012

Punky is what A calls Brother or Chunky…
She thinks baby talk is hilarious….. she wont stop
Dora is still her favorite everything
Crafts are fun for her, but she gets board easy-
She can buckle her booster when it is on the left side of the Van, but no the right side.
Apparently she can sleep with gum in her mouth and NOT get it in her hair!
She is so excited to go to Preschool
eating is one of her pleasures in life- veggies, fruit, candy, meat, salad…. anything really. When we are getting ready for dinner she will taste anything I will LET her taste. Raw Potato, Onion, seasonings….
She will follow K around faithfully- 95% of the time..
Play dough is her choose of craft, or painting
Tease is her descriptive word.
Stubborn… strong willed.. she knows what she wants and she WILL get it. I just pray it will always be GOOD things she wants!!
Naps…. sometimes she will sleep, most times she plays in her bed. Then comes downstairs pretending to have slept
She still has a hard time being gentle with Brother, and kind and soft and…..
Her bed is FULL of toys and stuffys. Plus her 3 blankets she needs to sleep with!
She still needs help with her speech. We will hopefully find out soon if she can get help at school.
Strike a pose. Thats the pictures phase she is in.
She wears 4T pants and 3T shirts. Size 8 1/2 shoe
Matching with sissy she loves

K Update

Below:August 2012

I dont have very many close up photos of K because she is WAY to busy playing to stop for Mommy to take a picture!
She is very tendered feeling- she still cries easy and long
going through a fit stage right now…. everything seems to bring tears and then 1/2 the time followed by a full blown fit
Lunch time she likes PB & J NOT a Peanut Butter and Jam Sandwich… a PB & J
She started saying "Whatever Mommy" She is learning NOT too!
school is starting soon and she is sooo excited.
she still naps- and actually sleeps- only for like 45 mins-1h 15min
K likes to be the boss and directs play
Monkey bars are her passion. Everyday "Mommy can we go to the Monkey bar park?"
long sleeve shirts are her passion….somedays I have to tell her "Its to hot out, you have to wear a T-shirt"
Nijias are a playtime favorite
she likes her hair down or in piggy tails- when I do it my way its tear time
K is the perfect match with A- K likes to be in charge but if A gets stubborn about something she is SOO good with her!!
She is wearing size 5T pants and shirts. Size 10 shoe.
her baby blankey got put away this month- it has been worn into pieces…. she wasn't quite ready to go cold turkey so we got her a big girl throw for her bed
She likes to cuddle, mostly at church
I ask her to help with Brother and she is sooo good with him- She answers in a exasperated tone "OK mom"
K can get into the van and get something
drawing is always happening. She can write everyones name in our family.

Martins at Spring Glen

Its been forever.
FOREVER at Spring Glen- they tried to deviate but they also returned.
The William Martin Reunion has been going on for ages. At Spring Glen Park.

We attend it every year-
So Friday Aunt Patsy made a batch of scone dough for dinner- we had hot dogs wrapped in scone dough and roasted over the fire!!
Oh they were YUMMY!!

Most of the adults just had scones.
I cant blame them- Aunt Patsy even brought her homemade raspberry jam.

Brother is so kind to babies. He loves Baby Alexander- his head and hair got soaked in slobber.

Dianne got a brand new puppy- but Brother would have nothing to do with her!

Aunt Dianne planned the whole weekend- she did a great job. Uncle Ron brought a slack line for everyone to walk on. The girls did great! By the end of the weekend Justin was jumping on it. I, um…. watched.
