Christmas 2010

-

Its hard to believe that Addison is over 2 1/2 and Kaitlyn is 16 months! This is my third Christmas as a mother and each one has been a neat rewarding experience.  I have to say that putting up the Christmas Tree was surely the most interesting this year.   Both girls were awake.and we decided to make it a family event.  We soon found out that there was not going to be any ornaments on the bottom of our tree due to Kaitlyn.  She was taking them off as fast as we were putting them on the tree.  I really wish I had

As far as Christmas morning both sets of grandparents were here at the house with us when the girls woke up along with uncle Jeff and aunt Jenny.  Josh and I made homemade biscuits and my mom made gravy.  Addison woke up around 7:45 am and we decided to go ahead and wake up Kaitlyn so they could see what Santa brought them at the same time.  It took little Kaitlyn a while to wake up.  We changed their diapers and then let them walk into the living room.   Addison walked into the living room and was a little shocked at all the people in the living room then she ran over to her toys.  Kaitlyn walked in the living room and walked over to uncle le Jeff with her eyes barely open. “Once Kaitlyn found her Little Tykes Car she was really excited. I would say that was the biggest hit for Kaitlyn as well as the reeses peanut butter cups.  As far as Addison I would say the new baby stroller  and her bike were her favorite toys.  After we ate breakfast and cleaned up a little we then went over to the Simpson’s to have Christmas there.  Now let me back up… Around 8 am it started snowing and didn’t stop until the next morning!  We got about 8 inches!  It was so neat to have a White Christmas just like the song, “I’m dreaming of a White Christmas…”  The snow was beautiful.  All of the extended family didn’t end up coming over the Simpson’s so we had a smaller family gathering for Christmas but it was nice and relaxing.  We later headed back to our house to have Christmas with my family.  We did something different for supper and grilled out hamburgers which was really different since it was still snowing but they ended out really good.    Addison and Kaitlyn really got the hang of opening the presents.

Weston is 2 Years’s old & Hurricane Helene

-
Image
Weston started preschool for the first time in August. We were nervous about him biting other children as he bites an often. He will bite our shoulders when things do lot go his way. He enjoys going to nursery at church and childcare at the YMCA so we were hopeful he would enjoy it. So far he has done great! I did get a notice from the school that he had been bit by another child. I had to read it twice to make sure I read it right but I did. Weston is very outgoing and likes interacting with the people he is around.   Weston still doesn’t use many words but it is increasing at a slow rate.  He can say Mama, Dada, Go, Bubble, Ball, Hello, Up, Hi, and Out.  We have started him in speech therapy.  Weston is starting to be more of a daddy’s boy. He has asked him to rock him to sleep a few times. He loves to be outside especially anytime daddy is outside. We have to make sure the front door has a safety lock on it or he will just walk out the front door when no one is pa...

Boy How Time Flies!

Well I can't believe Addison is 17 months old and Kaitlyn is a few days away from being 2 months old! We are all doing well. Addison is saying more and more words. She pretty much tries to repeat most of the words we say. Josh just keeps saying "She is so much fun". Addison is becoming more of a daddy's girl since I am always nursing Kaitlyn or picking up the house. She says "Dada" much more than "Mama." She now calls my father Papa and my mom Mimi. My father came up this weekend and if any of you know my father, of course, he bought us doughnuts. And Addison definitely knows the word doughnuts due to my dad. I am having to look for winter clothes for Addison so I am on the hunt for cheap winter outfits for her. Clothes are so expensive! Kaitlyn is growing out of all of her newborn size clothes but I keep putting them on her because I know she will never wear these cute outfits ever again. She has started cooing and she smiles a lot. She is sleepin...

1 Year Old Birthday Party

I can't believe Addison is a year old today!! She had a wonderful turnout at her birthday party this past Saturday. I believe there were over 35 people total that came! She got many clothes, toys and socks. We are so thankful for all of her gifts. Tonight Josh and I took her to Cracker Barrell so she could have a pancake on her actual birthday. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her many times today and each time she smiled really big at us while we sang to her. Isn't this sweet! Addison with her aunt Kim. This is 4 generations and Addison was reaching for her aunt Kim. Here she wasn't being shy anymore. This was her personal cake and she wasn't sure if she could touch it. She petted it for a while and finally she ate some after I started feeding it to her. Addison and her very loved uncle Jeff. Notice how content she is in his arms. She also loved the train her uncle Jeff got her. She loved her chair she got from her aunt Nancy. Addison and her great grandm...
