Brady George turns 2 1/2!!!

So my little buddy turned 2 1/2 this month and I am so happy that he is learning and developing new skills and words each day that passes but at the same time I am sad that he is not my baby boy anymore:( It seems just like yesterday that he was nestled in my arms at the hospital! Time just flies by and now that we have 2 kids it goes even faster! But Brady sure has just developed so much in the last 6 months with his skills and language. I remember at 2 he could say some words but now he can speak in sentences and is our little comedian:) I love him so much and he brings a smile to my face everyday! He is the smartest, sweetest, cutest, funniest little boy I know and I am just SO BLESSED God chose me to be his Mommy!!

~ Brady knows all his letters and can recognize and count to ten:) Just today we were driving and we passed Costco and Brady yelled from the backseat "C-O-S-T-C-O Mommy!" He is just so smart!!
~ I would say he is officially potty trained! He still sleeps in a pull up but usually wakes up dry. I just had bought a whole box from Sam's Club and I didn't want them to go to waste so after this box is done I think we are going to try and do underwear at night!!
~ Started sleeping in a big boy bed!! We set it up on the 28th of May!! Big milestone in our little buddy's life! He seems to like it and we decided to switch because he was starting to climb out of his crib every morning so we thought it is time!!!:)
~He is still a picky eater but some of his favorite foods are blueberry pancakes (with the blueberries pureed of coarse otherwise he would pick around the blueberries), chicken nuggets, corn dogs, his chewable vitamins, yogurt, popcorn. No veggies though:(
~ Some of his favorite sayings "Not me!" " I can do it!" "I did it!!" "Love you Mommy, Love you Daddy, Love you Rylee!" "What is that!?" "Let me see that." "Where did Grandma go?"
~ Loves listening to his Bible songs CD and singing along!:)
~ Favorite movies are 'Lady and the Tramp' and still 'Beauty and the Beast':)

In his new "big boy bed"! Snuggles!!!+

Flexing his muscles

Will be such a good Daddy. Already learing how to change a diaper.

Loves his ice cream!!

His new "Big boy carseat!!"

Don't think he fits in the highchair anymore!

Me and my boy on Mother's Day!

Loves helping Dad wash dishes!

Our little monkey! Loves climbing and jumping from high places! No fear!!

Jump!!!!

Mother's Day 2012~

Well this was my first Mom's day with 2 kids!! It is crazy to think that 2 years ago I celebrated Mom's day with as an "expecting" Mom and now I have 2 kids!! Time sure does fly! Anyways...the day was quite lovely really:) I got to sleep in and Kris got up with the kids and then I woke up around 8AM and Kris made me breakfast and we just relaxed in our PJ's as a family for awhile before we got ready for Church! I said no gifts but Kris always does something small even if I say that and below he made me the sweetest picture frame with photos with me and the babes:) I am truly blessed to have such an amazing husband and healthy, happy kids!! Thank You Jesus for such a wonderful blessing!! Happy Mother's Day to all you Mama and soon to be Mama's!!:)

My baby girl turns 9 months old~

So little Miss Rylee turned 9 months old at the end of April and we have some new milestones to report!! The day she celebrated her 9 month old birthday she started crawling!!! Yay!!! It is such a coincidence because Brady started crawling the day he celebrated his 9 month birthday as well!! Although she still doesn't get to far (she usually crawls 2 feet and then ends up rolling over to her back) she is on the move none the less:) We already had the baby gate up so we are ready! She still only has her two lower teeth but her upper two teeth are just days away from popping out! For the most part she has been handling it well but has been getting up once a night again and usually wants a bottle and to be rocked back to sleep. So hopefully when these two teeth pop out she will get back to sleeping through the night!!! She has been pretty good about that though....we usually put her down between 7 or 7:30 and she sleeps usually between 6-7am!! So we really can't complain:) Another milestone that she has is that she is now pulling herself up and standing! She likes to pull herself up with the help of furniture mostly and hasn't tried doing it from her crib (Thank God because we still have to lower it! This weekends chore) but my guess is in a few months she will be walking around! Yikes!! 2 kids running around the house just seems so chaotic!! lol!!

So here are her stats at her 9 month check up and some of her likes/dislikes:

Weight 17 lbs 11 oz (28 % tile) Height 29.5" (96% tile)...She will be long and skinny it looks like, just like her Daddy:)

LOVES~
* taking baths...especially with her brother now! I just started doing this and it helps the routine go a little faster at night and both kids enjoy it and think it is so fun!~
* eating!! Even though she is a little peanut she is one hungry little girl and can put back the food (just like her Dad and her brother...well and I guess her Mom too:) ha ha!)
* thinks it's funny when she is done eating to hit the spoon out of my hand!!

Dislikes~
* getting her nose wiped:( she has had a runny nose lately with the teething and hates when I try to wipe it!
* when you don't pay attention to her! My little diva:) she likes to have your attention at all times and makes this whiny noise if you even direct your attention to something else....it's hard to get stuff done around the house!
* this one goes with her love of eating...but she DISLIKES if you are taking to long getting her food ready when she is hungry! Good Lord you would think the world is going to end!! LOL!!
