You are into everything and Aiden is learning that he better keep his toys picked up or you will get them. You love to crawl and are really good at pulling up and standing alone. No steps alone yet, but you can walk behind all your push toys. A couple times you have even stood up from a sitting position with no assistance! Walking soon?? Maybe so. In other news ....<br />
<br />
* You have your top two teeth now. That's four total. You are a pro at biting Veggie Straws now - one of your favorite snacks.<br />
* You can wave and clap your hands. You will clap on command. You'll wave when you feel like it.<br />
* It's hard to know if you are saying any "real" words, but it sure does sound like you are saying "Hey!" when you wave at someone. You say "dadadadada" a lot and will look and find Daddy when we ask, "Where's Daddy?". Other than that, you just ramble on with a bunch of sounds strung together. You love to talk to yourself when you are going to sleep.<br />
* We have been on two camping trips in the last month and you were great 3 out of 4 nights. The second night of our first trip you <i>screamed. a lot. </i> We ended up driving an hour back home in the middle of the night. You promptly went to sleep in your bed and slept all night. Stinker! The second trip you were awesome!<br />
* Still in 6-12 month and 12 month clothes and are now pretty much wearing size 2 shoes.<br />
* You love to be outside! I can open the sliding door and you love to play in the deck while I do work in the kitchen.<br />
* You hate having stuff on your head - hoods, bows, hats - so it will be interesting trying to keep your head warm this winter. :)<br />

Right now she is busy, busy, busy - crawling everywhere and pulling up on anything. She has been crawling on her hands and knees since about seven months. Now she has gone to this funny crawl where she keeps her knees off the ground and basically goes around on her hands and feet. <br />
<br />
We call her our little squealer because she is constantly "talking". LOUD. It is almost like she is crying, but she is perfectly happy.<br />
<br />
The kid eats <i>anything</i>. I mean <i>anything</i> - rocks, grass, little pieces of dust ... :) Really though, she is a great eater and loves finger foods as well as baby food. I am still giving her some homemade baby food, but really she prefers food she can pick up herself. She still nurses about four times a day and will take formula if necessary. We have started giving her juice in a cup and she does great with that.<br />
<br />
She is in 6-12 month clothing these days even though a few of her 6 month outfits still fit her. Her teeny tiny little feet are still a size 1.<br />
<br />
She is an incredible sleeper. Just lay her in bed and she's off to sleep! Still 8-5 each night and then, after a quick snack, she's back to sleep till about 8:30. She will take one or two naps each day.<br />
<br />
As far as teeth go, she still just has the bottom two. The top two are right at the surface and I expect them to break through any day. <br />
<br />
She is such a happy baby and started Mother's Day Out at church one day a week. Her and Aiden are there from 9-1:30 on Thursdays. It's nice to get a little "Mommy Time"! <br />
<br />
We are gearing up for our first camping trip of the fall next week. I expect Makenzie will love it!<br />

I assure you, sweet girl, that I have not. You are your brother keep me busy, busy, busy. Rest assured we enjoy every day and are amazed by you. <br />
<br />
At four months we started giving you rice cereal and you somewhat enjoyed eating it. After I started adding a tiny bit of applesauce to it, you really warmed up to the idea of solid food. You still nurse 5 times a day and we give you one serving of cereal per day. You learned how to roll over from your back to your stomach and enjoyed practicing that skill. At the beginning of May we took you to Alabama to meet your great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, and a few of daddy's cousins. You also got to meet your second cousin, Makala. She was born just a couple months after you. At four months you were wearing 3-6 month clothes and we moved you to a size 3 diaper. Some of your 6-9 month clothes fit too. Especially when you have on your cloth diapers. You are laughing and cooing and love to talk. You are a great traveler and will sleep the better part of long trips. We have no problem giving you a bottle when necessary and you'll take formula on the rare occassion I'm not around to feed you.<br />
<br />
At five months we went on a vacation to Kansas City. Again, you traveled like a champ and just hung out in your stroller or in your carrier while we went to museums and ball parks. You sleep so good at night and will only wake up once to eat. Mommy thanks you for that! You are also a great napper and will take two decent naps each day. While we were in KC, you started "army crawling". We were sooo surprised! You were on the bed with Daddy and you just started inching over to him.<br />
<br />
At 6 months you are "army crawling" everywhere and love to be on the floor. Nothing of Aiden's is safe and he is learning to keep his toys picked up! At your 6 month appointment you weighed 16 lbs 2 oz (50th percentile) and were 26.5" long (72nd percentile). You LOVE to eat. We have given you several veggies and you love them all. You are also a big fan of Gerber Puffs and have learned how to feed them to yourself. We are just beginning to give you fruits but you have had a few bites of raw fruits and have chewed those right up! You are cutting some bottom teeth and one has begun to poke its way through. Won't be long and we'll really be able to see it. At naptime and night time you put your self to sleep without and fussing. Again, we thank you for that. You wake up around 6 to eat and then you back to sleep until 8 or 9. You are pretty much wearing only 6-9 or 6-12 month clothes and some of your 12 month outfits already fit you! You adore Aiden and he is pretty smitten with you too. The two of you will play on the floor together and will just laugh and laugh at each other. It melts my heart to watch!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16840773120697481402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458092759713976089.post-50700764732821135362012-06-25T00:11:00.000-05:002012-06-25T00:11:16.640-05:00Three Months Old<div>
Our precious girl continues to grow and grow. Just another month until she can start eating cereal. Wow! Right now she...</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*sleeps about 6-8 hours when she goes to bed and generally only wakes up once in a 12 hour period at night. She will put herself to sleep if I lay her in her bed with a paci and cover her with a blanket. It's so nice. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*does great with her bedtime routine. We bathe her, I nurse her, and then it's off to dreamland. She's typically asleep by 9:00 or 9:30.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*is in her 3-6 months but some of them are seeming to get a little snug. Not sure if that's because the cloth diapers are taking up the extra space in her clothes or if she is going through a growth spurt.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*wears size 2 diapers when she is in disposable diapers (which is not that often).</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*is eating every 3.5 to 4 hours.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*takes a good morning nap and then a longer nap in the afternoon when Aiden naps. Sometimes she'll take another cat nap before bed depending on how long her previous naps were.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*is such pleasant baby! She is all smiles and loves to watch what is going on around her. Aiden can really get her to smile!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*still cooes a lot and has recently even laughed a few times!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*is starting to sit at the table during Bible class. Her teachers say she watches everything and "talks" the whole time.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
*has "found" her hands and will put them together in front of her face and just stare at them.</div>

It is getting easier every day to have two kids at home. Aiden is so good with her and wants to help all the time. He will gladly go get pacifiers, diapers, or whatever I need. It's nice having him around! lol</div><div> </div><div>In the last month, Makenzie ...</div><div> </div><div>*has gained about 3 pounds and weighs 11 pounds 12 ounces (70th percentile) and is 25" long (90th percentile).</div><div> </div><div>*has gone from sleeping 2-3 hours at a time to 6-8 hours when she goes down for bed. It's wonderful! Sometimes she wakes up twice in a 12 hour period at night, but mostly it is just once. She usually sleeps from 9-9 (or 10). I love that my kids sleep in!</div><div> </div><div>*has learned to hold her head up really well and can roll from her tummy to her back.</div><div> </div><div>*nurses every 3.5 to 4 hours instead of every 2.5 to 3.</div><div> </div><div>*still sleeps on her tummy and likes to be warm at night. I have a space heater going at night and I put a fleece sleep sack over her pjs.</div><div> </div><div>*cooes and smiles a lot! </div><div> </div><div>*still wears 0-3 month clothes but some of her 3-6 month clothes are beginning to fit. She wore newborn diapers for the first month of her life and is now in size 1. However, when we are not out of town, she wears cloth diapers. I love the cloth diapers! They are soooo cute.</div><div> </div><div>*goes to sleep easily with just a little rocking. Sometimes she'll want a pacifier to fall asleep, but usually she spits it out once she is asleep. This is good because I don't want her to become to dependent on it. The easier it is to break her, the better. I'm not a fan of toddlers with pacifiers.</div><div> </div><div>*has become a really easy going baby. She loves to be held and doesn't care who is holding her. She tolerates her swing and bouncy seat for short periods of time. </div><div> </div><div>*loves when I carry her in the sling. She will go right to sleep so I usually "wear" her when I am out running errands.</div><div> </div><div>*made her first trip to Hot Springs. She got to meet all her great uncles, great aunts, and great grandparents.</div><div> </div><div>*she continues to nap at the same time Aiden does every day so I have a chance to rest, do housework, or relax. </div><div> </div><div>I have to say that at this point in time, life is good!!</div></div></div>Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16840773120697481402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458092759713976089.post-25989401476885020662012-01-31T11:50:00.011-06:002012-01-31T14:15:56.959-06:00Meet Makenzie<div><div><div><div>Wednesday, December 28, 2011 we welcomed Raelyn Makenzie Blair into our family. She was born via c-section at 7:47 a.m. Since this was a planned c-section, we had to be at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. They admitted me and all the paperwork was done by 6:00 so I had a little time to rest before surgery. The nurses came in to do blood work about 6:45 and then at about 7:00 we were ready to go! </div><div> </div><div>This was such a different experience from Aiden's delivery. Instead of it all being a blur (after a day of labor) I was really aware of everything that was going on. They had me walk to the OR and then proceeded to do the spinal block. After two tries it was in. The first place she put the needle didn't work due to the position of the baby. I had a great anesthesiologist who talked me through the whole process and an awesome nurse who held my hand and kept me still (it's hard to bend forward when you're nine months pregnant!). Once Dr. Sarver arrived it was time for Makenzie to make her entrance into the world! I couldn't believe she was only 7 lbs and 9 oz! SO tiny compared to the 9 lb 2 oz chunk that was our first child. :)<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 240px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703889364973485410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQJWu4goNaz5Uic98dGm27LVSFO2NrAhMO2MsifzOu88ABhkCza2-DvOHuaOME8RtAiq7SvdJ7-0N-kLay8lyiEYnt5IpG-bQDLUy8khsKDNe5QJJ_sP55OwAuYUyRnBtZhjBCvsAEGfnf/s320/DSCF4017.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div>Monty went with her to the nursery and then I went to recovery. At about 10 I went back to our room and then they brought Makenzie to us at 11. This picture was taken shortly after we got her. I love how alert she looks.</div><div><br /> </div><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 214px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703859564992684658" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9imye-Pn7EGraWGetoiGwyqnd3yMXN4ty5e_k8hpplxhxk4zdvIyxeZX7BiHosGwB3cMs3LPIOfZucQ8rPRHwELPIU2qiPMHeB0uRhOy3bAa19PaH1Yv5rYx9r6tBVHKr5-1ieB5KQmCo/s320/DSC_0021.JPG" />Grammy and Aiden came to visit that afternoon. Aiden didn't really want to have much to do with her but finally kissed her on the head. He was more interested with the airplane that Makenzie had given him.<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 214px; height: 320px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703860665117499314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYSIN2uoOVoxTCOSS16w41DoocCrKUoyknRqFagAS6BWWksraDtvAtkL3K6wYjlElqy5NoplzQi-6xYU9CmtWIB6ZJn8V_I6n3wrSC-4U5KYAmqvXgLG-9E4VAPxVUxLxb6oZAVUJ9aT0G/s320/DSC_0009.JPG" /></div><div><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 320px; height: 214px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703859559390376386" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLO07JgBLkZu9ysP_x0kZ5f27MzqNq8lm7IRR8u0HcNBgcJTEuusnxRHFZN8suos9pd25QPbPukkDIPd5vzbMXwFgHd-_3EWbYwpis4jXT4GErgPCPG2cuc6nDz7VbheqEdYcKyL8Ymtv/s320/DSC_0007.JPG" /></div><div>We stayed in the hospital for two days and went home on Friday afternoon. I bought Makenzie an outfit with snowmen on it because I thought it would be appropriate for the winter weather. Funny enough, it was actually warmer the day we brought her home than the day we brought Aiden home in May. Go figure!

Easter Sunday was WET!!! The day Monty took these was perfect and Aiden was in a pretty cooperative mood. All day long I told him we were going to take pictures so he needed to sit real still and say, "Cheese!" for Daddy. He totally understood what was expected. We got to the park, he went and sat down by the flowers, looked at Monty, smiled, and said, "Cheese!". After that moment we were "chasing" him down trying to get good shots! LOL Next time, we'll talk about the fact that he has to be still for more than one picture. Oh well, such is the life of a two year old! As usual, Monty still got some great ones!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO5d32TV-i79PZuFL2YZzrl3UrCDSKlPQE83Lne7o-new-Aa-_NK4brdxXGPloptWslXG6TrvfXJAq7fANX3bsCKwrasmQb5ZgS4XCdwy59j9PrNu-dH4F3pYgDlDWr9OlXRqTRGdFf-X8/s1600/DSC_0107.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

We pretty much had to ruch through this part as we had to catch a ferry to the peninsula. The main purpose of this trip was to see Andy and Lisa get married - and they did! Did I capture a single pic? Nope. Aiden slept through the ceremony (just like he did at Alex and Amber's wedding) and most of the reception. It was a pretty wedding and we're glad to have Lisa in our family!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16840773120697481402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458092759713976089.post-47736505187680349802011-04-27T15:26:00.003-05:002011-04-27T15:37:35.739-05:00A Waterfall and Some TrainsThursday morning the plan was to pick up Alex and Amber from the airport. However, Alex came down with a bad case of the flu and strep throat. That meant the best decision was for them to stay home. So, we decided to head to Snoqualmie. We visited Snoqalmie Falls and the Northwest Railway Museum. It was beautiful weather in the morning so we were able to enjoy the falls. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEqP3RjqUQGVNMnaOyMVlUyLZ4EPXM996eWZdx-xmINvN1KTmCAYFRaHaBOzt6Cu1CdISJD9WY-CGU8E88iMRNqV2DtxC1XSm9b9ac3EWIBW1BsQHqqWfKmsQ7kPGPz3nCvDkDyoZY4i8w/s1600/DSCF3200.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600363702255714402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEqP3RjqUQGVNMnaOyMVlUyLZ4EPXM996eWZdx-xmINvN1KTmCAYFRaHaBOzt6Cu1CdISJD9WY-CGU8E88iMRNqV2DtxC1XSm9b9ac3EWIBW1BsQHqqWfKmsQ7kPGPz3nCvDkDyoZY4i8w/s320/DSCF3200.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPXc4JAvI9Wts3NX4Auio8YPM3hx3QYlsSFFVO3n1vZFipJgKNzkp77A4dnv0RKGYDJrQFVNY7BxDwMwZtSRQro259i1gI0PpFlwdcrk5FGMz_9O-6ImYf4FEaWEqn_d_qTkYwub179f7Y/s1600/DSCF3206.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600363438807110962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPXc4JAvI9Wts3NX4Auio8YPM3hx3QYlsSFFVO3n1vZFipJgKNzkp77A4dnv0RKGYDJrQFVNY7BxDwMwZtSRQro259i1gI0PpFlwdcrk5FGMz_9O-6ImYf4FEaWEqn_d_qTkYwub179f7Y/s320/DSCF3206.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDW5ldlkrrbY29SFIp-OOlh5SlI-KeGXB0ZKao-LVCcScG7rrDbfHcPYxFc6FsAnMrk6xefwiEvG61dL3S7xrYLh0syFkCabxoqUr-e0wG6J2prLRJ0KshQa6eSQM0QIhCwpvszQ80F-n/s1600/DSCF3209.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600363434722755042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSDW5ldlkrrbY29SFIp-OOlh5SlI-KeGXB0ZKao-LVCcScG7rrDbfHcPYxFc6FsAnMrk6xefwiEvG61dL3S7xrYLh0syFkCabxoqUr-e0wG6J2prLRJ0KshQa6eSQM0QIhCwpvszQ80F-n/s320/DSCF3209.JPG" /></a>After lunch it rained, so that kept us from walking around to all the trains.

It's another one of those places that you just have to visit while in Seattle. We've been here on each of our three three trips to the city. I could walk around all day and not get bored. So much fresh food, concessions, and unique one of a kind items. I picked up a beautiful Christmas ornament - one of my favorite souveniers to get on trips.

I didn't get any pictures of Aiden exploring the barn and meeting all the animals. He couldn't get enough and wasn't scared of anything!

I don't like driving by beaches and not stopping. This was not a walk barefoot in the warm sand kinda beach, but it was ocean and sand (and a lot of rocks) nonetheless. It was cold, but I didn't care! Maybe sometime soon we'll visit a beach in a more tropical location!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5Xzt430ZyVOlKd9A1NAfSaJMutI5pIqAzLHPmEzmkyq4udPc-QvhxM9td4R4pY1BXXGEI1iSKajuispr4-UQTAQi4Hz3g9mvgrs6OvuIMuKcuB9xI7wfQP4Q9nXAdF7hD7zxW3rNnPkP/s1600/DSCF3148.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599999892392810258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5Xzt430ZyVOlKd9A1NAfSaJMutI5pIqAzLHPmEzmkyq4udPc-QvhxM9td4R4pY1BXXGEI1iSKajuispr4-UQTAQi4Hz3g9mvgrs6OvuIMuKcuB9xI7wfQP4Q9nXAdF7hD7zxW3rNnPkP/s320/DSCF3148.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5i36vxRuuhcF4yJGK-mBFkRa4E_OenKbE0vy84-8Wk9ybqRvWEsKppTP7uM-zsAf1GnNN-Y9KaNVveX4Y57vVnhwaKEEaLFwesfSmBGXcetWBSiCEbX_ZEfDArljhqnxZ-CNI27vs2Hq/s1600/DSCF3149.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599999888970651298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK5i36vxRuuhcF4yJGK-mBFkRa4E_OenKbE0vy84-8Wk9ybqRvWEsKppTP7uM-zsAf1GnNN-Y9KaNVveX4Y57vVnhwaKEEaLFwesfSmBGXcetWBSiCEbX_ZEfDArljhqnxZ-CNI27vs2Hq/s320/DSCF3149.JPG" /></a>What kid doesn't enjoy collecting goodies and exploring at the beach?

The trail was about 3/4 mile long and looked nice and roomy at the trailhead. We had a jogging stroller for Aiden, so off we went. About halfway down the jogging stroller was no longer an option as the path narrowed. So, we ditched it and Aiden walked the rest of the way. Such a trooper!

We ate lunch at Chipotle (yum!). And of course we had to do one of the most "touristy" things in Seattle - the Space Needle. It's one of those things you just have to do. Kinda like going up in the Washington Monument in D.C. or going to the top of the Arch in St. Louis. If you're in Seattle, you have to experience it.

Aiden traveled like a champ and even tolerated waking up at 6 to leave for the airport. The flights were not full, so we were able to bring Aiden's carseat on the plane. He loved sitting by the window and looking out. I brought lots of new stuff for him to play with so he was entertained (without technology!) the entire time. During our layover in Las Vegas we let him run off his energy so he was ready for a nap during the second flight. We told him it was time for a nap and he turned his head in his seat and went straight to sleep! The first morning he woke up at 4 with a messy diaper and then went back to sleep until 6 (which was 8 our time). By the end of the week he was sleeping until about 9!! It was great! These pics are at Kerry Park. We took them on our way to Andy's house from the airport.

(Not surprising!)<br /><br />Fast forward a couple weeks and we are with my parents. My dad asked Aiden why he got in time out at school. Aiden gave him the most serious look and I know he was thinking, "How do you know about that?". But he answered and said, "Climbing tables." Kid has a serious memory.<br /><br />*** He tells me all about what he does at school on Thursdays. On the way to school he names his teachers and nearly everyone in his class.<br /><br />*** If we go in the Post Office to mail something he knows the lady will give him a sticker. <br /><br />*** We went to my brother's wedding in Seattle last week. Wednesday of the week we ate dinner at his finance's parents' house. They had some old kid toys and some stuffed animals that Aiden enjoyed playing with. We went back over there on Saturday night and remembered almost every toy that he had played with. He asked for each one by name! <br /><br />*** When he gets out of the bath he says, "Wrap a burrito!". (He wants to be wrapped in a towel like a burrito.)<br /><br />*** He can sing some of the words to several songs. His current favorites are <em>Itsy Bitsy Spider, My God is So Big, ABCs, The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock, Jesus Loves the Little Children, and Jesus Loves Me. </em>He can say the alphabet A-G and then will fill in letters when I say it with him. He knows most of his colors (still confuses brown, black, and white) and can identify the majority of shapes.<br /><br />*** We bought him a train whistle while we were on vacation. For a few minutes he couldn't quite get the hang of blowing it hard enough to make noise. Right after he made it whistle the first time he looked at all of us and said (with a big grin), "Take a picture!".<br /><br />*** He saw cake at Andy and Lisa's wedding and said, "Happy da birthday!". <br /><br />*** I woke him up at 8:15 this morning to get ready for school. I asked him if he was ready to eat breakfast and go see Mrs. Kim. He rolled back under the covers and said, "No. I take a nap." Kid loves his sleep!<br /><br />He has really developed quite the vocabulary in the past few months!Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16840773120697481402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458092759713976089.post-76460870947933982122011-02-17T22:10:00.009-06:002011-02-17T22:43:13.039-06:00The Big Snow<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">February 9, 2011</span></strong></div><br />The snow came in fast and furious and at times was falling a rate of 3 inches an hour.

Who knew that the $3 snowsuit I bought Aiden at a garage sale in the spring would get so much use in one year?! He wasn't quite sure what to think at first.

I love the snow and am not complaining one bit. It was cold, but it was beautiful. Monty got to work from home a few days and Aiden and I had fun just sticking around the house and playing. <br /><br />Tuesday, February 1 it snowed about 6-8 inches, depending on where you were. The counties directly above us in MO were under a <em>blizzard</em> warning, so we were pretty thankful to get as little as we did. The snow followed about 1/2" of sleet and ice. The roads were a mess for a couple days. The side roads never really got cleared at all.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiouNrbbj0J93jwCJ7YqA1DhusCXxCRbEXupfMq737LRJUZEIh5iSl71lZ4UvcUAbMOz2suDJ6y2fFaD7T6gX4aGqMXM3j5crONvfoy0LTpER182nm-KmucvtomL_RKSwegNPb9xxwik_ro/s1600/DSCF2838.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574872888190802530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiouNrbbj0J93jwCJ7YqA1DhusCXxCRbEXupfMq737LRJUZEIh5iSl71lZ4UvcUAbMOz2suDJ6y2fFaD7T6gX4aGqMXM3j5crONvfoy0LTpER182nm-KmucvtomL_RKSwegNPb9xxwik_ro/s320/DSCF2838.JPG" /></a> Fast forward three days and the weather man was calling for a dusting on Friday, February 4. Yeah, we ended up with about 4 more inches of the the fluffy stuff. The main roads that were once clear are now covered again and the side roads just got worse. We live on a main road so we did okay with being able to get out and about.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxT_Ol83mHkLtZezdkZmQUS61Yg4B5mhZ8Vk32BhIUA7Mxxxef9X-W_AdYRc2NS1ux0h0f2j_ZLk3u3pqqJiSUgIYrxdfFuUpoUR2mBkx3tfYaXdVigQxFxt3b0FcEzrDs_QezIKWOaAMY/s1600/DSCF2883.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574872880922542146" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxT_Ol83mHkLtZezdkZmQUS61Yg4B5mhZ8Vk32BhIUA7Mxxxef9X-W_AdYRc2NS1ux0h0f2j_ZLk3u3pqqJiSUgIYrxdfFuUpoUR2mBkx3tfYaXdVigQxFxt3b0FcEzrDs_QezIKWOaAMY/s320/DSCF2883.JPG" /></a> The next Tuesday the 10:00 forecast projected we'd get about 5" more snow. By this time the small rural schools had been out for 6 days because the plows had yet to clear all the back roads. Wednesday morning Monty got up to check on the snowfall totals. In my sleepy state (from under my warm covers) I asked if it was snowing. He said, "Yes. Quite a bit." This was at 6:30. By the time Aiden and I got up around 9:00 there was probably about <em>a foot</em> on the ground. And yes, it was still coming. All said, we got around <em>twenty inches</em>. That's almost <em>two feet</em>!! Crazy! However, since there was no ice, Monty was able to shovel the driveway that day. The plow came and cleared the road and we were able to get out that night. <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_hLH-DowEKN9uB3TzUIcI-wQkN0sRn7yytZfjtIeNR4MPkQiiSY98ynrKj3jWkB93pvwtX02qw2FVMQXO3J3MzDoe4nsLq0L0OOnEvXz1b9HkPgogXAvrLMYw31yrk9NkGeSEg8dMIMmo/s1600/DSCF2967.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574872879782793490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_hLH-DowEKN9uB3TzUIcI-wQkN0sRn7yytZfjtIeNR4MPkQiiSY98ynrKj3jWkB93pvwtX02qw2FVMQXO3J3MzDoe4nsLq0L0OOnEvXz1b9HkPgogXAvrLMYw31yrk9NkGeSEg8dMIMmo/s320/DSCF2967.JPG" /></a></div></div><br />It is still amazing to me just how much snow there was. A week later and it's in the 70s outside and the snow is gone. Aiden enjoyed the snow so much. Every time we went outside he wanted to wear his boots and walk in the snow. He loved walking across parking lots and stomping in the slushy mess. Such a boy! We are so thankful God gave us His beauty to enjoy.Angelahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16840773120697481402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3458092759713976089.post-19707933312967543982011-01-25T21:14:00.004-06:002011-01-25T21:30:09.628-06:00He's a MessSo, a jar of sprinkles fell off the pantry door today and the bottom of the jar busted.

We had a snow day the week before, but it wasn't quite as much. Let me tell you, I <em>love</em> snow. I am a Florida girl at heart and was raised in a land where it hardly ever got below freezing, but I have always loved the white stuff. It's so clean and pretty and I can't get enough of it - especially when I can stay home. <br />Nothing starts a snow day better than cinnamon rolls - ahhhh, comfort food! Aiden enjoyed the icing!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_L6En5M6JdyaUjpZ9BR4z98VZSXn5x-P-LOrxDqK3RRWFhP0NrAkEF-KFMrVAZI38rkxnkAiWdj5OB81PHrEKCYqHjbXnfJmoToLGa_rkAPInSKjPGbf6nq320q_Z1iH-JbUmv_O_Capk/s1600/DSCF2763.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566323979128038770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_L6En5M6JdyaUjpZ9BR4z98VZSXn5x-P-LOrxDqK3RRWFhP0NrAkEF-KFMrVAZI38rkxnkAiWdj5OB81PHrEKCYqHjbXnfJmoToLGa_rkAPInSKjPGbf6nq320q_Z1iH-JbUmv_O_Capk/s320/DSCF2763.JPG" /></a> Then we bundled up and headed out to play.

We left Friday afternoon at 4 and got to his parents' house at about 2:30 Saturday morning. I am so thankful that Aiden is an awesome traveler. He watched a couple movies once it got dark. At 10 we turned off the DVD player and told him it was time for bed. He went right to sleep and stayed that way until 1 when we stopped for gas outside Birmingham. At that point he didn't want to sleep, but rode quietly until we got to Montgomery. We finally got in bed around 3:30 and then he was up at 8 ready to go!<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Saturday night we went to the zoo to see the lights.

Two weekends before Christmas we spent with my family in Hot Springs. It was during this weekend that Aiden acquired a most beloved new playmate. Enter the 62" stuffed dog into our lives. Thank you Uncle Austin! Aiden LOVES him and asks every morning to go,"Hug puppy." I have to say that even though he SHEDS like crazy, he is well behaved, quiet, and hasn't had any accidents in the house. I owe an even bigger thank you to Austin for not getting Aiden a real dog. <em>Just remember Austin, paybacks are huge!</em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg347RXW8ys0oI0v0PK4GX967KSCElysbc1GSoB7yx4fSAbHdjmnGrDa0Vu8LwSBe1OJGI_u7FdSJ89MReoQpSrz4L97zzOrvgPL_Vpyap2_SnxDDof34VIyFqIDqE18-fvbwcS-GEH0uIH/s1600/DSCF2519.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 278px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554815551782855186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg347RXW8ys0oI0v0PK4GX967KSCElysbc1GSoB7yx4fSAbHdjmnGrDa0Vu8LwSBe1OJGI_u7FdSJ89MReoQpSrz4L97zzOrvgPL_Vpyap2_SnxDDof34VIyFqIDqE18-fvbwcS-GEH0uIH/s320/DSCF2519.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-BpxzHTXkYQ49lp2M3gFrshnvy93TgtF_YS3T7-8vpLK1fXP28AjI2Go_-M0jjjOgWvQ0M3jJG2AfPm6dSPp2J2M8NQbmHAe1-vZ69CVlRgquVVKyMZL1cQ3fnfzEpNuJ0GldeXb1R8Ib/s1600/DSCF2530.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554815546801283602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-BpxzHTXkYQ49lp2M3gFrshnvy93TgtF_YS3T7-8vpLK1fXP28AjI2Go_-M0jjjOgWvQ0M3jJG2AfPm6dSPp2J2M8NQbmHAe1-vZ69CVlRgquVVKyMZL1cQ3fnfzEpNuJ0GldeXb1R8Ib/s320/DSCF2530.JPG" /></a>Bringing Austin some doggy hair. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvk4pkXm6XnhxqOYuMFLVmNjTR_tvKheELVNFiVIADh1nnD5KAQc2T7tUWJnoO0nJHRQZxp39s-F6jd03Uv4M1dmGAWKdM93dA0v3Hyp-os_524TwqEdOM-JZOKgJ0xG8-cYwNJMVw35yh/s1600/DSCF2531.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554815545302695218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvk4pkXm6XnhxqOYuMFLVmNjTR_tvKheELVNFiVIADh1nnD5KAQc2T7tUWJnoO0nJHRQZxp39s-F6jd03Uv4M1dmGAWKdM93dA0v3Hyp-os_524TwqEdOM-JZOKgJ0xG8-cYwNJMVw35yh/s320/DSCF2531.JPG" /></a>Yep, he <em>loves</em> that dog!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2s_l_-hV06trBzz1dsok879PVhy8kUKxRPXKFmxo7BT9po_CPuFVtOLlK2U7N34upajKyeHENjDSZNtaY909j2JXTfKmW21EQR5-bBadsSkpurJ3NOSlyp4SbzW1rfWAeoadJx6UMx-E/s1600/DSCF2538.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554815541357290946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2s_l_-hV06trBzz1dsok879PVhy8kUKxRPXKFmxo7BT9po_CPuFVtOLlK2U7N34upajKyeHENjDSZNtaY909j2JXTfKmW21EQR5-bBadsSkpurJ3NOSlyp4SbzW1rfWAeoadJx6UMx-E/s320/DSCF2538.JPG" /></a>Choo-choos were also a big hit this year!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJmuMNJcGsIXNhMfdZJAWMdGApteBZLevmvP2B8qy7EJM7ARJO43xhB2TbVY6rmrW5vrgCAxQkH5gWkVrGf5f0IE2m9MwZJuUobaTL2xB-Bm47cHB9cTxwLNKmA14RRsxfJZaGGwcKle_l/s1600/DSCF2540.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554815537096894674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJmuMNJcGsIXNhMfdZJAWMdGApteBZLevmvP2B8qy7EJM7ARJO43xhB2TbVY6rmrW5vrgCAxQkH5gWkVrGf5f0IE2m9MwZJuUobaTL2xB-Bm47cHB9cTxwLNKmA14RRsxfJZaGGwcKle_l/s320/DSCF2540.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiklJAcYqx0SIfxMQTtqdG1mw3GKoclEdvROeAnAHvGUsrz8srqDVv56eu_KIZkvvkzrG-o7ljpzMO3ThDMqiLitalH5cnYOJl-64hmh8ah8P9pIPlLNliXwnmLinBYxugW0IyD8UzFWr/s1600/DSCF2542.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554814357566690978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiklJAcYqx0SIfxMQTtqdG1mw3GKoclEdvROeAnAHvGUsrz8srqDVv56eu_KIZkvvkzrG-o7ljpzMO3ThDMqiLitalH5cnYOJl-64hmh8ah8P9pIPlLNliXwnmLinBYxugW0IyD8UzFWr/s320/DSCF2542.JPG" /></a>Can you tell that he was the center of attention and our entertainer all weekend?!?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQNvSlLULuLO9k7REz3XGwMoQy0meOkSaylLsCiipd_S_TfMp_AqFPhX9gXb9kq7Y5N3Yh_8P3D3pk5zfGLG9HLIdk1VktUAKDIn4Vb8BEvEprlPDkIF2oZOcmBUTOxqKFbXdqKc0jvIQm/s1600/DSCF2544.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554814355159247410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQNvSlLULuLO9k7REz3XGwMoQy0meOkSaylLsCiipd_S_TfMp_AqFPhX9gXb9kq7Y5N3Yh_8P3D3pk5zfGLG9HLIdk1VktUAKDIn4Vb8BEvEprlPDkIF2oZOcmBUTOxqKFbXdqKc0jvIQm/s320/DSCF2544.JPG" /></a>Sitting in Pappaw's chair.
