Kennedy's 4 & 5 Month Update!

I cannot believe 5 months has gone by! Seems like Kennedy was born just yesterday. Time has flown by MUCH faster than it did with Jack. I felt like it was the longest 5 months of my life with Jack (Ha!) and with Kennedy it's just been so much faster and easier. :) Getting pictures has been a challenge the past two months in her crib because she can't sit up yet but is super squirmy! She is such a joy to us, rolls with the punches, puts a smile on everyone's face, and I love being her mommy!

Bye Bye Binky!

There was a few tears shed (by both of us) but a big boy bed, new sheets, and candy were enough to distract him for the night! :)  So far there's been a lot of asking for his binky but no huge meltdowns yet!

I have a few more videos that I couldnt get to upload! One of him crying for his binky to come back, and one of him being proud to be a "big boy"! Hopefully I can get those to work later because they are pretty cute!

Night one...success.

Day 1- Naptime.... To Be Determined....

Jack at 2 1/2 Years Old

JACK'S 2.5 (almost 3) year update!!!

• Jack weighs about 33 lbs
• He can put his own clothes on by himself- for the most part. 
• Size 10 shoes
• Potty training was going slowly and then all the sudden in the course of like a day it seemed it started registering with him (or he just decided to do it himself) He will pee on the potty (or outside) if he isnt wearing a diaper, and has been going on the potty  for #2!! HUGE improvement from just a few weeks ago where he would literally hide and cry when I would try and set him on there. He does however, tend to want to go outside in the lawn...ahem... "like a dog." Lol!
• He loves to wear just shorts
• Two year molars are trying to come through, ones almost completely in
• Vocabulary is pretty amazing- talks in full sentences and there's really not much he can't say
• Can ride a trycicle like a champ
• Sleeps from 8:30/9:00-7:00/7:30
• We just recently took the crib rail down so now he's in a toddler bed! Big boy! 
• Took a couple days for him to not get out of bed constantly- and the first night he was up all night and ended up in bed with us. Misery!
• He still wakes up a lot earlier than you did in your crib, but its bearable.
• He doesnt know a stranger- is super friendly to everyone. Which is good and bad! 
• Still loves golf
• Favorite tv shows: Bubble Guppies, Paw Patrol, Fireman Sam, Frozen, Dusty (the Disney Planes one), and Big Hero

This kid always has a dirty face and half his clothes on (or none at all! Haha!)

• You smile a lot and are starting to laugh
• You've rolled over once, but don't really try to very hard
• You try to crawl so hard when you are on your tummy and can scoot around pretty good
• You havent got on a routine yet- somedays you sleep 2-4 hours for naps, and sometimes, (ok, most of the time) you take catnaps of 30-40 minutes. We are working on fixing that!!! 
• You nap in your swing and sleep with me at night
• Still wont take a binky or a bottle

• You have a bad case of cradle cap, just like your brother did

Your little personality is starting to come out. I can foresee a little diva in our future, but I'm hoping you will keep your laid back attitude! :) You make everyone you come in contact with you smile and I know that will stay with you! You are such a cutie patootie, and a perfect addition to our little family!
