October 2010

October has been a busy month for us. We have been staying busy and when we are not working we are doing something. Camden has been staying busy constantly working with the GOB sell up at lexington. Will be glad when that store officially closes and things go back to normal. Things with the girls are great. Brooklyn went to her field trip with Camden and had so much fun and met up with a buddy from last year. School is going great for her but her whole class has been talk to about being too talkative. Abby celebrated her birthday on the 17th with family and had so much fun. She loves all of her new toys especially the barn gamma gave her and the baby from cousins Tara-Emmalee and Tori. She is growing like a weed and i cant believe she is already a year old. We went to the dr yesterday for her 1yr check up and he said she is great! Our little chunky monkey is 21 lbs 4oz and 28 3/8 in long. Abby's official bday i worked that morning and then i took the girls to Tara and Duane's for their halloween party. The girls and i had a great time and Abby was happy to be around family that evening. I must say gamma did a great job on all the costumes! They all were fabulous! Brooklyn has her halloween party at school this week and is excited to wear her dorthy costume. She cant wait to go trick or treating! Overall both girls are doing great and couldnt be better!

Brooklyn- Abby

Brooklyn went back to school in Aug and is doing very good at school. She has a few kids in her class that like to get into trouble. Brooklyn has become a sassy butt and she is learning real quick that it doesnt fly very well with anyone. So we are working on the not being sassy and telling people no! She recently turned 5 in Sept. Hard to believe 5 yrs ago i had her. She wanted her party at the park and it to be hannah montana theme! Overall she had a awesome birthday! Oct has come and she is ready for Halloween. She wanted to be dorthy off of the wizard of oz so the wonderful gamma is making her costume again this year for her. She is one happy little girl! She will be attending her first field trip this year with daddy to the pumpkin patch! So that will be nice for her and daddy to get some time spent together alone. I am disappointed cause i wanted to take Abby since this would be her first time to the patch but that will have to wait due to me having to work.

Abby is growing like a weed. Brooklyn and i looked at pics of her along time ago and she definatley has changed. She has learnt to pull up and start officially crawling instead of the army crawling. I think with the help of Miss Lilleigh she pulled it off by watching her! But Abby has shown Lilleigh a few tricks of her own- like her little head stands! Those 2 are like 2 peas in a pod! They are cousins and best friends! :) Abby has been a little stubborn girl when it comes to drinking out of a sippy. She has not been wanting to do it but we are working on that since in a few weeks she will no longer be on the bottle!She has become one little piggy when it comes to eating. She sees anyone with food she wants it too! She has learnt to say momma on top of daddy but here lately she is all about saying daddy calling everyone daddy. Normal cause Brookyln did the same thing. Abby will be turning 1 soon. Doesnt seem like it has already been a year. She will be having a lady bug themed party. This will be her 2nd halloween this year and she is going to be here comes trouble and again the wonderful gamma is making her costume as well!

Cant wait to see how all the costumes come out with the handy creations of Gamma! :)

~UpDaTe~

We have been busy this month!

Abby has tried another meat (turkey). She absolutely hates it! So we have laid off trying meats. She has been eating everything else just fine :) She just recently started eating the baby puffs and loves them! She has been doing the army crawl and she is saying dada dada! She has also starting drinking her bottles out of a sippy cup! :)

Brooklyn is excited to go back to school next month! She has been helping feed Abby her snacks and helping getting Abby to moving around on the floor by playing with her! Such a big sister! We had a girls day/ bday for Alli this month. Took the girls to get their nails done,eat lunch and then off to fun run! We didnt stay long cause Alli got a burn on her arm from playing on the slide so we took her home and then came home to get ready for vacation!She is also has picked out her bday party for sept and its going to be hannah montana!Overall Brooklyn has been a great big helper for mommy and daddy! :)

We just recently got back from our family reunion we go to every year. We had alot of fun relaxing and enjoying the stress free environment! The girls had fun playing in the pool and Brooklyn actually got papa to get in with her! First for her and couldnt tell you the last time i seen my dad in a swimming pool! Brooklyn is doing alot better on learning to float and swim on her own with her barbie life jacket. We all enjoyed the homemade ice cream on friday night! Brooklyn had lots of fun playing with different cousins and the kiddy auction! Saturday night was pic night of the families so we had to wear our family color(which ours is purple) Sunday we headed home and we stopped by Jacob's cave on the way home.
This was a first for the girls! Abby enjoyed being in the stroller walking threw the cave and then Brooklyn on the other hand had to be carried the WHOLE way threw and the WHOLE way back! She didnt like the dark!

Took Abby to the dr today and dr said she is great! Abby is definately teething. She is 19lbs 6 oz and 27 1/2 in long- she is sliming down on her weight and not gaining as fast but she is going to be a litte tall girl :)

~Baby food~

Why does baby food have to smell like dog food??? It's nasty to think my child is eating this but she is! Abby just finished off her first jar of chicken baby food. She started on the jar yesterday and she ate it and then finished it up tonight with pears. She is doing great eating baby food. She is just like Brooklyn. She eats anything! :) The other day when we finished getting the rest of her jars- we debated on getting her a couple jars of meats to see how she would react to them. Well now we know! Next is turkey! She has been eating more and more baby food and loving every bit of it! :)

update

Abby is learning more on sitting. She has been sitting by herself on the floor for 30 to 45 mins and then gives in and falls over. Tough little girl she doesnt cry :) In the walker she has learn to move her legs and push off and go forward! :) instead of always going backwards! Her teeth are still bothering her but they are coming in more and more every day, you can officially see the 2 when she smiles and gets fustrated- when she gets fustrated she loves to wrinkle her nose- too cute

Brooklyn still same Brooklyn. Trying to keep her on track with things she learned at school and writing her name. She still loves aggravating her little sister!



Cant wait for vacation in july! :)

She is still moving around on her belly more and more but no usin her knees and arms and crawling. No other news on her!

She hasnt gotten the consept of a summer break. She still cant make up her mind on what she wants to do for her birthday party! Cant believe she is almost 5 yrs old!

Times flying by!

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Seems here lately we are always so busy! Busy working or doing something else- well this month is going by so quick- we had Abby going to the dr left and right before her appt @ childrens mercy- then Abby's trip to childrens mercy- Brooklyn's last day of school- Alaina Mae Leslie arrives :) - preschool field trip to the zoo- and the list goes on!


-Abby-
last night we were sitting here relaxing and Abby was laying on the floor playing rolling around- and she had a pink bear- it was so cute watching here cause she was trying to attempt to get it and using all her might- she used her legs to push off but would not use her arms to help her move instead she was using her stomach- she would wobble side to side on her tummy and use her legs to push off- wonder if she will ever attempt to crawl since she knows she can get somewhere with her belly???????
