First off, WOW, I am the worst blogger...I have so many things that I can/should blog about..and yet I never do!
So I'm going to start this one and make a little post on each kid, and what I love, then I'll post about what we've been up to this summer! LOTS of pictures to be included :)
Braden- 6months - 28 inches, 19 pounds (80th percentile for each)- head circumfrence I can't remember except 90th percentile!
Oh what a fun time this is with our little (big) guy! I seriously think that I was blessed with the worlds best children...but I also may be biased. Braden is such a happy baby, he is pretty content to just play most of the time, all by himself. He LOVES- and I mean LOVES his sister, he thinks it's hilarious when she jumps around in front of him, which then makes him bust out into the cutest belly laughs you've ever heard. He gets around everywhere by crawling backward, rolling, or scooting. He pretty much NEVER cries- in fact we were somewhere the other day and he cried because he was hungry, this is usually the only time he cries, and my grandma actually said, "is that Braden?" I don't think I've ever heard him cry. It's true, I'm spoiled...although he doesn't sleep through the night, but he is the happiest baby I can't complain too much. Braden is probably the biggest flirt ever, he loves people, and loves to grab faces. When he's done playing all you have to do is swaddle him up and he's content to either go to sleep, or just lay there all bundled up. He acquired a love for blankets from his sister (and mom). ;Wow, what else can I say, I love my little guy so much!
Brooklyn- 2 years, 26 pounds, and 30something inches. She was 65% height, and 50 percent for weight
Brookie, Brookie, what a fun fun age this is! I love to watch her learn, play, and explore everyday. She is talking so much right now, she is so much fun. We recently got her ears pierced and she makes sure to tell anyone that she sees about her new earrings, and "Brookie so beautiful". She loves to sing..and turns everything into a song. She is always moving, and never wants to stop. She LOVES to be outside, pretty much she would live outside as long as she had her blanket and some stuffed animals. From the moment she wakes up to when she goes to bed, she is constantly asking me to "go outside". She is in love with her brother, and happens to be VERY possessive of him. Anytime she has been asleep, or away from the room she comes back and asks "where Braden boy?" this is followed by a round of giggles and her tickling him. If anyone other than my David, my parents, or me try and hold Braden, Brookie will yell at you, and cry saying "no hold my brother," or "that my Braden boy". She is HILARIOUS about the pacifier. Brookie gave her paci to the baby calf right after she turned 2, so she's been having some issues with that. I will find her in random places of the house silently sucking on her brother's pacifier. I told David it's like she's an alcoholic that is SAVORING the taste..she will just lay there in complete bliss with his pacifier. She has the cutest curls, which are crazy most days, every morning I ask, do you want a ponytail, to which she replies, "no, I wan curly hair". She is starting to be really careful when she colors...when she isn't eating the crayons. She tries to make small lines and scribbles instead of coloring all over the pages. She loves to have her hand traced and tries so hard to do it herself. I wish I could post all of the fun things that she says for us, she's got such a goofy personality. Brooklyn is a very loving girl, she will randomly come up during the day and hug or kiss me. I love it! I love having a little buddy to play with daily, and I think she likes me too. We recently caught a caterpillar for Brooklyn, and then my mom got her a pet frog. She thinks all animals/creatures are just so much fun. She has some pet kitties that she carries around by the throat, why they let her I don't know. Brooklyn's caterpillar died the other day, and when talking about it she will tell you, "my cat-a-pillar went to heaven...he talking Jesus". She loves to pray, and anytime someone is saying a prayer Brooklyn is whispering her own prayer. Brookie is VERY shy when she gets put into a new situation. She will take a very long time to warm up to other kids/adults. She HATES water over her head/eyes...but loves the swimming pool. She loves slides/swings/ and all other play equipment. She is in love with her dad, and looks out the window anytime she hears a vehicle outside thinking that it's her daddy. We love this little girl so much! I can't imagine how quiet my house would be without her.
As for me, I've been busy trying to keep up with these two kids, and see my sweet husband when he has time for us. I have been playing with my new camera, and my new photoshop...so that keeps me semi busy when the kids aren't. I have also gotten started making hair bows again, that has been fun! I recently dyed my hair with some red/blonde etc. We have been having a fun summer for sure!
