What's been happening in March???

This month has gone by so quick! We celebrated St Patty's day and Gamma ( Aunt Peggy) made the girls st patty's day shirts that turnt out so cute! The girls love them! We celebrated my parents anniversary along with st patty's day and then my mom's birthday- that sunday after her birthday we were at my parents house and all 6 of the grandkids were together so my sister and mother got pictures! Gaige and Demi finally got to meet their new cousin as well. Overall that was a good day! Days shortly after that we started again, to see how well Abigail likes cereal and overall she hates it being spoon fed but in a bottle she will atleast eat it but i still dont think she likes it. I have tried everything even buying the mixed fruit/rice cereal and just plain rice cereal and also tried mixing it with formula. She justs hates it! I dont think we ever tried rice cereal with Brooklyn, i think we started right off the get go with oatmeal which maybe what i have to do with Abby. Tompkins said as soon as she hit 5 months old to start the cereal so its a on going battle! Abigail finally started rolling over all the time now! She did it 2 times at Aunt Peggy's house but then after that she never did it again! Low and behold she started doing it all the time now! I am glad she is starting to stay longer on her belly cause she needs to learn that strength to hold that head up and also to grow her hair back on the back of her head she lost!

Brooklyn is still loving school and she just found out recently that they are going to the zoo so she wants to go NOW! I told her she is going to have to wait till may when they are supposed to go. She has also been fighting sinus drainage and congestion and coughing due to drainage! Cant wait till this weather stays at one thing instead of going from cold to hot and back to cold!She is excited to go to Tori's pinkalicious birthday party and also excited for easter to get lots of candy. She is learning more and more things and doing very well at knowing her colors,shapes and abc's. She can write her own name very good. She is excited to go to preschool again next year. She loves her sister very much but still likes to pick on her like every big sister does!

~ Abigail's 4 month check up~

* Abigail - Feb 2010*


We journeyed to the dr on Feb 24 and she went in and the nurse did all her measurements and they are : height - 24 5/8 in long
Weight- 16 lbs 2 ozs
head - 17 7/8


We sat and waited for Dr. Tompkins to come in and finally he made his way in and began to evualate Abigail. She is good in all of her growth but the thing that is he is worried about it Abby's head is too big. :( Everything growth wise is on the chart except her head which shows him concerns. Its way off the chart and has been! He said he will see her back when she is 6 months old and if her head grew anymore then we will have to have a ct scan done on Abby's head to see if there is any reasons to show why her head is so big- he said most of the time they dont fine nothing but its better to be safe than sorry. He also told us that normally if something is wrong she would be throwing up all the time, showing signs of her head hurting. So all we can do is wait and see! With all of that he told us he gave us nose spray that we put in her nose 1 a day ( which seems to be helping ) and do that for about a month and if it didnt get better than she just has a small nasal passage and hopefully will out grow that since she has been congested since she was born. Then on we went and discussed the diaper rash she had and found out its a yeast infection so now we have ointment to nip that in the butt as well. Overall after all that she is doing great. He did say she should be pulling her chest off the floor when she is laying on her tummy and we dont really see her doing that yet. We did tell him she did roll over 2 at Aunt Peggy's house which is a good sign she is learning things on her own! :) Only time will tell and hopes she is just a slower learner when it comes to things. And hopefully she just has a big head! I think she is just perfect and couldnt ask for a better baby! Happy all the time and smiles!

-what a suprise-

Friday the 19th while over at Gamma's house while Camden and i was working, Abigail rolled over!!!! YEA ABBY! She has never really showed any interest in doing that since she gets so mad being on her tummy! But after much success she DID IT! Now if you lay her on her back she shows much interest in wanting to roll over cause of the way she moves her body but still hasnt done it in front of Camden and i. I am just happy she showed her success in front of family! My baby is getting to be a big girl! Abigail is talking more gibberish and coo's and slobbers like crazy! So keeping the look out for those white shiny chompers to come threw! She is throwing us for a loop on her sleeping habits because she used to be more a wake during the day and slept really well at night and all night! Now she sleeps more during the day and then finally gives in at 1am and then gets Camden or I up in between 7 and 8. I am happy she is still sleeping threw the night but it would be nice to go to bed before 1am. Hopefully its just a fluke and she goes back to her old routine and doesnt stay like this.
Brooklyn has been wanting to help with sister and well she gave Abigail a ride! Camden was home with the girls and he layed Abby in her swing while he went to go fix her a bottle and Brooklyn went over to push her and she pushed too hard and Abby went flying forward out of her swing,face first into the floor. Camden said she didnt cry and didnt seemed hurt. She had a little red mark on her face but that was all. YEA!! NO BRUISES! Other than her tormenting her sister and beating her up, she has still continues to love school and loves going. Here lately it has snowed and she has been wanting to play in the snow but we have not made our way out to the snow to play in it.
Camden is still busy with working and then coming home. He is so ready for the weather to warm back up so he can go fishing. In April we are taking our own little family vacation (for the first time since we have been married) to Branson. We are going to go enjoy the scenes and Camden is going to be in his first fishing tournment and then we are going to go visit Granny Julie and Grandpa Dorsey. The last time we seen them was our wedding and they havent seen the kids so we want to go. I am still busy working all the time and then home with the girls on my days off. Last friday Camden offered to keep the girls so i could go see my high school friend who i havent seen since we graduated which was almost 8 years ago! :( I had such a great time catching up with her and seeing her kids. I wished she was here in MO but her hubby really doesnt wanna move back so i guess i will stick with keeping in contact with her threw fb and texting! Overall it was nice to get out of the house and by myself with out kids! One of these nights Cam and i are going to have a date night!

~ A NEW YEAR~

Abigail and Brooklyn

Evan Thomas


Abigail Rae and Lilleigh Rae



2010 has brought us 2 new members to our family! Both babies are so precious and so cute! We welcome Lilleigh Rae and Evan Thomas! Lilleigh was born January 20,2010 and Evan was born February 2,2010!


Brooklyn is still having fun at school and learning more and more! She is doing very well and she has learn almost how to spell her name by herself. There are a few letters she still has problems with but overall doing great. She knows her colors and her shapes and she can count to 13 by herself. We have a smart cookie on our hands! She has more and more of a attitude but she is a good helper when she wants be with little sister. She loves playing with her and i think its more or less making her mad than anything! She is still having issues with her sleeping in her own bed! We made her bedtime 9pm instead of 10, its 9pm all the time and so far it seems to be working ok, so far she only gets out of bed once and thats it and then she is asleep. But then she is into the whole waking up and going potty in the middle of the night and then its off to mommy and daddy's bed not back to hers!


Abigail is getting big and growing like a weed. She is starting to outgrown some of her 0-3 clothes :( She is eating 6oz bottles every 3 to 4 hours but sometimes longer. She is still doing very well at sleeping at night occasionally we have a few nights where she wakes up in the middle of the night but overall she is doing awesome with sleeping threw the night! :) We were giving her rice cereal in her bottles when she was like 5 wks old but we stopped that after a few weeks cause you couldnt see any difference in her sleeping patterns. Abigail goes back to the dr this month and we hopes to find out how much our chunky baby weighs! :) Her last dr appt she was 14lbs so it wouldnt suprise me if she is closer to 20! We have a growing girl on our hands!

christmas 2009

Brooklyn and Abby christmas 2009




Christmas this year was a very snowy christmas! Christmas eve we made our way to my parents house so that way we could make it out and Camden could spend christmas with my family and i could make my way to work! We all woke up christmas morning and it had snowed so bad and the drifts were outragious! People were getting stuck on the hill next to my parents and cars off in the ditch. Camden told me to call in cause he didnt want me going in which was fine by me! :) So i did and plenty others called as well. I would rather save my life and car than be in a ditch somewhere and freeze. So i spent christmas with my parents and sisters (after they got unstuck) and some family that could make it up the hill. I was overall happy that i got to spend christmas with my girls and family. Christmas night we adventured out after it took all day to get camden's truck started due to the cold weather and made our way home. As soon as we got to camden they had cleared our roads really well but the street going down to the house was not touched so we had to venture the cars threw about 8 to 10 inches of snow to get down to the house. Saturday someone had came down and plowed our road for us which i was very thankful instead of having to drive threw it. Sat evening we went to Bella's 1st bday. Today our neighbor finished up and plowed our street some more all the way down to our vehicles.
Brookyln loved all of her presents from everyone and loved santa's gift. So we have been watching all the new full house movies better than watching the same one over and over again.We also went to see the new chipmunk movie on christmas eve just me and brooklyn. Very cute movie and definatley will be buying it when it comes out. Abby didnt really know what was going on but got lots of cute clothes and her very first cabbage patch baby from brooklyn. She is now officially 2 months old and we weighed her last night and she is 13 1/2 pounds. My baby girl is getting to be a big girl! She is also up to eating 6 oz bottles. Its usually every 4 hrs but sometimes longer in between. She is still sleeping really well. Overall a good christmas and now to get threw the new year and then off to 2 new babies in our family. Cant wait to meet Miss Lilleigh(I think thats how she spells it) Rae and Mr Evan

Next month got 2 baby showers to go to one just to go too and one to plan!

Been a while- update

Its been a while since i last posted anything and we have been very busy around the house especially having a newborn! Thanksgiving we went to my parents house and spent time with my family and so all my aunts and uncles who came could see Abigail. I had the day after thanksgiving off due to being on maternity leave! :) I was happy cause i havent been off that day in a very long time! Didnt go shopping though till that afternoon cause i was not about to get the girls up early and it was still busy when i went to walmart that afternoon. I ended up getting the new ice age movie and Abigail a cabbage patch baby! On to december- We had our family pics taken threw a friend of ours and did a great job on them! Now just trying to get them uploaded on this slow computer! :( I had to go back to work on the 5th of dec and let me tell ya i am pooped! Everyone is hounding me to work for them or switch shifts with them so of course me being the nice one i said yes and plus it gives me more hours. Brooklyn went to Emmalee's rock star party on the 6th with Gamma and Pappi due to me not being able to go and that way Brooklyn could go which i am very thankful for. We got Brooklyn's preschool pics back and they are cute! She has a christmas party coming up next week and she has Gracie to get a gift for. This month is flying by fast and soon it will be christmas and i am not even half way done shopping for my nieces and nephew and let alone the girls. I have to work christmas this year so Camden gets to spend christmas with my parents and the girls. Abigail is getting big and growing like crazy. We started on cereal in her last bottle at night before we all go to sleep when she was 5 1/2 weeks. She loves it! She was only waking up once a night but now she is getting herself to where she is sleeping till 530 sometimes 630 before she wants another bottle since her last one at 10 or 11. But there is still sometimes she is waking up still hungry. She is a growing girl. Camden weighed her a couple weeks ago and he was estimated her at 11 lbs 5 ozs and that was threw his fish weigher LOL She is in 0 to 3 clothes and some of them fit just right while others are swimming on her. She goes back to the dr on the 30th. She has also been fighting congestion for a week or so now and hopefully its just due to the weather and nothing else. Brooklyn is still liking school and she is happy to be back at gamma's while mommy and daddy are working. She is still loving the fact she has a sister and i think she is starting to show some signs of jealousy but its not too bad! YET any way! Other than that nothing new with her!
