Kaylah Ann's 10 months old!

The girls....

Kaylah has not been feeling great lately. She has a cough that is actually finally starting to sound better. The dr put for on a prescription for a "sinus" infection. Apparently babies don't really have sinus cavities yet but it's where her throat meets the tubes for her ears. There was a little fluid in her right ear but not bad. She sleeps great from 630pm until about midnight and then all bets are off! Last night she was up fussing from 3am-445am which means, so was I. Yes up and fussing! She is still really happy through out the day but since Saturday night, is up A LOT all night! Saturday night I think the three of us got about 2 hrs total! It is not fun but I am out of ideas! I hold her, she sleeps as long as I am in the rocking chair. But really that only lasts for an hour or so. She won't even go to sleep on my chest in the bed or next to me in the bed! Finally last night, I laid her in her bed and she cried from 4:15-4:45 and finally cried herself to sleep!! I FEEL HORRIBLE when she does that! But I had to get her to sleep somehow! Monday night I nursed her each time she got up but that still didn't help so last night I only nursed her at her normal 1am feeding time. Who knows... maybe tonight will be better??? Here's to sleep!!


Kyndahl is officially potty trained!!! YES! I AM DOING A HAPPY DANCE!! She did have a poo poo accident yesterday but it was while she was taking her nap. She was very distraught when she got up but she was reassured that it was ok since she was sleeping! She put on her big girl panties and promptly said, "we don't poop in these panties"! It took forever it seems but we are finally done! I know she will have accidents from time to time but now she really knows when to tell us she has to go potty!! She is also very literal about EVERYTHING and is a parrot of anything anyone says! Some of the latest Kyndahlism: 1)While at Kaylah's dr appt I had put Kyndahl's hair in pigtails and then braided each one. Lady next to us tells her, "I like your ponytails" to which Kyndahl says, "They are braids!!!". 2) Kyndahl is eating nuts. Holds one up to Grams and says. "What's this?" Grams replies, "A nut". Kyndahl states, "NO Grams, its a cashew!!!". 3)A little old but still so her!! After a potty accident, Grams, "Kyndahl did you go poop in your pants", Kyndahl replies, "No Grams, in my diaper!".. DUH!!!

Gotta love them both!!

Sleeping like a baby??

Silly baby has started to fight sleep a little... so when she sits up in her crib and plays or fusses, she ends up falling asleep like this! The one in color David actually went in there and turned the light on to take the picture. The other one is through the video monitor. Can't be comfortable!!!

Congrats Kathy!!

Not the best picture my camera has ever taken but you get the gist of it right?!?! Kathy passed her real estate test and so we all met at On the Border to celebrate! It was a great time with friends... without kids! We love the little ones so much but it is hard to carry on an adult conversation when most of us have two little ones to chase now!! Congrats again Kathy!! Good luck!

Funny...

Just found this picture... this was the "snow" we got while JJ was getting 50 inches... Funny how different our views of things really are.

Where did the weekend go??

Friday night feels like ages ago yet the weekend went way too fast! Friday night we loaded up the girls and headed to J Cody's since I have been really wanting BBQ. We had a nice quite dinner even though K2 was a little fussy and ready for bed. Headed home so we could get the girls down before David had to head back out to work. Seems like I should have gone to bed early but that didn't happen.

Saturday the girls were up pretty early so we played around the house as usual while Daddy worked. When he got home after nap we headed to Goodwill!!! I now have new jeans and black pants that fit!!! Grams texted while there to tell us they were headed to our new Cracker Barrel to eat... not David's favorite but he agreed to try since it just opened!! They had lots of cute outfits for the girls for Easter! We got sat pretty quickly considering and had two tables pushed together. That means two waiters literally fought over us and ended up "sharing" us... which means one always thought the other was going to get what we needed. Our food came out and mine was great. David got a well done hamburger that actually came out almost "mooing". We sent it back and it never came out again! We finally got it in a to go box as we got up to leave to payout! Needless to say, he won't be revisiting there any time soon! Again, we headed home to get the girls to bed. Kaylah slept HORRIBLE!!! so did we!

Sunday girls were up early so we got dressed and headed to the early church service. Kyndahl decided to go to the nursery instead of big church. She made a tambourine and really enjoyed it. She came back to big church for the last few songs and danced! Kaylah was good as usual but really tired. So home to nap for all... well poor little bit still didn't sleep for longer than 45 mins! All up to get dressed for Elice's baby shower. Re, Ry and Reese got there as we were all getting dressed. We all piled in our suburban to drive to the shower.... 45 mins later we found it in the middle of nowhere and nowhere where we thought it was! It was good to see Elice and Cody! 3 more weeks til baby Kimber is here. Now to load back up and head back into town, without the scenic route! Cheryl was in town so she wanted to see the girls... Finally got K2 to bed about 630... she didn't really sleep.... so we didn't either! Up late and have a dr appt scheduled for this afternoon.... think its an ear infection to go along with the lovely cough she has! And it is Monday again!!

Snow in College Station

This is the huge snow storm that had us starting school late Tuesday! Not even 2 inches and gone by lunch the next day because it was 54! But the girls loved it. Kyndahl could not believe that it was snowing at HER house!

Sip and See for baby Reese

Everyone has to wear the party hat!!






Posing... because we don't have ugly friends... they would ruin pictures!


Happy little crawler!





They are both very attached to their cousin Reese! They just want to love on her and touch her, they have to know where she is at all times!!






She woke up Saturday morning and daddy said we had a party for baby Reese. Her face lit up and she squealed.. "I get to wear my party hat"!

My 31st birthday

Once again, we headed to Carinos for my birthday. We had a great dinner!! Megan and Micah didn't get to stay long since they went to the Aggie baseball game but it was good to see them! Keeli and Kevin even showed up after "softball" practice!! And of course Re, Ry and baby Reese were there. Kyndahl just wanted to hold her to whole time! Kaylah just wanted to get her!! It was a good night and had a good time!

Flowers...

David and the girls gave me the ones on the left for Valentines day. The tulips in the middle are from De and the boys for my birthday. Matthew brought them to me at school... it's great getting to see him light up and hug me everyday!! The ones on the right are from Mom for my bday! They were all so pretty and still looking pretty good even a week plus later!

Loving sisters...

On the spur of the moment pics, but they are pretty cute!!

Valentines

I didn't actually get pictures of us on Valentines day... but these were Saturday! After church and naps, we loaded up to head to Katy to the Mason Jar for dinner. It's good food and David's fav!! We had a good trip and the food was worth the drive... even if the service was not so great!!!

Newest toy addition...

This is what Reese got Kyndahl and Kaylah for Christmas and it was just delivered... oh the fun!! We neglected to add the tunnel that connects to it!!
Can you see that both of them have their hair standing on end from the static!!

Bath time fun!!

The girls love to take baths... with or without each other, colors or bubbles!! Kaylah SPLASHES everywhere and Kyndahl just likes to "kick like a donkey" and play with her toys.
