Sunny Days

Although spring has been here for over a week, the weather has been well, not so hot.  But the weather is finally getting more spring-like. Yesterday was beautiful, and today is going to be even better.  Since it was so nice out yesterday, we got outside, for two walks/bike rides and even to the park.

Look who fits in his little bunting suit. 

Ready to go for a walk.

 Little guy is so happy to go for walks and always falls asleep.

 We had so much fun outside yesterday, and Chesney was one tired girl by bedtime.  We are going out for a walk and hopefully to the park today too.  Then we are off to Grammy and Grampy's house to celebrate Easter with the whole family.  Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend as well.

Brecken - 10 Weeks Old

Well, we hit the double digits.  Brecken is 10 weeks old. 

 

 A little half smile for all the ladies out there.

 He had a busy week learning how to roll from front to back and moving to his crib.

I sure do love that little boy and his crazy hair too.

Changing Rooms

Guess who slept in his crib last night?  

Brecken did and he did great.  He slept from 9pm to 7am. Mommy also did well. I only checked on his 5 or 6 times before I went to bed.  It was much easier this time around than when we tried like a month ago. I miss my little roommate, but he likes his new crib.

Chesney - 3 Years Old

 My sweet baby girl is 3 years old, and I love how loving and caring she can be at times.

  And sweet and sassy at other times.

 

Here is what you are up to at 3 years old:

• Weight: 35.9 lbs (88.7%)
• Length: 38 inches (68.55%)
• Clothes: You wear size 3T clothes.  And you love clothes and shoes!  Your favorite thing to do is take the clothes out of your closet or drawers and try them on or stack them up.
• Shoes: You wear a size 9 shoe.
• Food: You like milk, V8 juice to drink.  You tend to eat small meals throughout the day instead of big meals. Your favorite foods are noodles, tacos, pizza, salad and anything sweet. In the past few weeks you have become slightly less picky with eating and will eat chili and fish.  You don't like chicken (unless it is a chicken strip) or mashed potatoes.
• Development: You can count to 20.  You know your colors.  You can spell and write your name along with other letters.  You can recognize some of the letters of the alphabet.  You can dress yourself.  You can ride your big bike.  You have become more insistent on things you want which can be challenging at times.
• Words: You talk non-stop.  You come up with some crazy big words sometimes because you tend to remember everything you hear.  You love to sing and dance.
• Sleep: You go to bed at about 8:00-8:30 every night and wake up somewhere between 6:00-6:45 am.  We read a book before bed every night.  You take one 1.5-2 hour nap every day.
• Teeth: You have all your baby teeth now and brush them twice daily.
• Your Favorite Things: You are loving the Disney princesses right now and still like Mickey and Minnie mouse.  You have started to like Barbies as well.
• What I love about you: You are a happy, happy, happy little girl.  We just love to watch you sing and dance.  You love to give us hugs and kiss.  And best of all, you love your little brother.  It is amazing to watch you love on him!

Chesney's 3rd Birthday

Today we celebrated Chesney's 3rd birthday with a princess party.  We started her day with princess pink waffles with sprinkles.  She practiced blowing out a candle on her waffles.

Then we got ready for the birthday party. 

 We had spaghetti pie, garlic bread, salad and...

 

 blueberry and watermelon princess wands.

 Garrett is a pretty talented drinker.  You can get a lot done if you can drink without hands.

Grampy with some of the grand-kids, Garrett, Chesney and Brecken.

Chesney got so many nice presents.  Thank you for all the nice gifts!

 Chesney and Allie spent a lot of time playing with her new Barbies.

 Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Jessie, Allie and Ryan got Chesney this cute outfit, and  Allie wore her matching outfit.  Chesney kept saying they were twins.

 Chensey got a new scooter and was pretty excited.

 Grammy & Kim entertaining Brecken.

My handsome little prince with Grammy.

I made her birthday cake this year and thought it turned out fairly well.

And Chesney loved it!

Happy 3rd Birthday Chesney!  We love you little princess!

Brecken - On a Roll

A certain little someone has learned to roll from his belly to his back.  He did it for the first time on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 when we put him on his belly for some tummy time.  Daddy and I were both sitting there and looked at each other like "what just happened there?!?"  We thought it was a fluke except he has done it everyday since and multiple times today.

 Some shots of him in action today, play by play.  He pulls the arms out.

 Tucks and goes for the roll.

  Keep it moving, almost there.

 

 Ta da!  He did it!

Now he's a little man on the move.
