Age:       3 1/2 years old
 
Weight:  25.6lbs
 
Height:  35in (almost 3ft.)
 
Best Friend:  Sara Kate (at school) and Mommy and Daddy (at home)
 
What she wants to be when she grows up:  Elsa from Frozen
 
Favorite movie:  Frozen and Shrek comes in a close 2nd.  She could literally watch them all day every day.

Favorite Singer:  Katy Perry-Roar and Dark Horse are her favorite Katy Perry Songs
 
Favorite Color:  Purple
 
Favorite thing to wear:  Leggings
 
Favorite Food:  Spaghetti and Chicken Nuggets
 
Favorite Drink:  Water
 
Likes:  Kendall likes playing with her toys, watching movies, playing outside, blowing bubbles, practicing riding her bike and scooter, helping mommy cook and wash dishes, helping daddy put water bottles in the refrigerator, jumping on the pillows in mommy and daddy's room with Dylan, fruit snacks, Gigi's chocolate cupcakes, dancing, playing in the bath tub, getting her nails painted, and running and being chased, playing hide and seek, and watching you tube play-doh and music videos.
 
Dislikes:  Kendall is a very picky eater, so she dislikes more foods than she likes.  She doesn't like any condiments such as ketchup, bbq sauce, etc.  She also doesn't like not being played with, having to come inside from playing, going to bed on time, any type of tag in her clothes (its a must that we cut all her tags out of her clothes), and being around new people for the first time.
 
Milestones:  Kendall is an amazing little girl.  She can hold a true conversation with you.  She asks a lot of questions because she wants to figure out everything.  She is currently in dance (ballet and tap), and is starting to like it.  She also sleeps all by herself in her own bed at night.  She can sing an infinite number of songs, say her ABCs, count to at least 30, say her prayers (Now I lay me down to sleep....), dress herself, help out with her brother, and the list goes on and on.  She is soooo smart and outgoing.  God blessed us with the perfect daughter!
 
 
 
 

10 Months





*Dylan's 9 months appointment was delayed due to inclement weather, so it was rescheduled closer to his 10 month appointment.  A lot of the below stats are similar to 9 months because not much has changed (smile).

Date:  March 20th
 
Nicknames: Dyl Dyl, Dyl Man, Big Man, Big Boy, Dylanator, Baby Boy, Chillin' Dylan, Pickle, Pick, Pickle Juice, Pickle Meister, etc
 
Weight: 19lbs 10.6oz
 
Height: 30.4in (in the 90th percentile)-His doctor says he is on the path to be tall and skinny
 
Head:  18.4cm (in the 80th percentile)
 
Diaper Size: Size 3
 
Clothing: 9-12 months and Size 5 shoes
 
Feedings: 7oz every three hours. Dylan is also taking a rice bottle at night and in the mornings. Dylan is officially eating baby food and two containers at a time. He still likes sweet potatoes(his favorite), carrots, squash, apples, bananas, and all the fruit medlies.  We have given Dylan a lot of different table foods.  He likes bread, green beans, the crunchies that fall off of the fried chicken, potatoes (his fave), and just whatever we can give him in small pieces.  We have also started giving him water and trying to start him on the sippy.  He likes the water, but not the sippy cup so much.  We will just keep working with him.
 
Milestones: Dylan pulls up and stands up on chairs, tables, people, and just whatever. He takes steps around the table, and even tries to take one hand off the table and walk. He thinks he can do a lot more than what he can do right now. With him looking at his sister every day as well as the other kids in his class, we look for him to walk soon. Oh one more thing.....he doesn't drool all over the place anymore. We use to always keep bibs on him just to keep his clothes from being wet, but now we don't have to. Still no teeth, but we are definitely anticipating them soon
 
Likes: Baby Food, Gerber Puffs, putting anything in his mouth to chew on, standing up, playing with his big sister, watching Kendall laugh because it makes him laugh, and just being a fun-loving little boy
 
Dislikes: Getting his diaper changed on the changing table, getting lotion put on him, and being left alone. Dylan has also started crying in the mornings when I drop him off. I've read that around 9 or 10 months, babies go through separation anxiety. Ms. Jessica usually has to hold him and distract them so I can leave. Needless to say, he is very clingy now and just pro mommy a lot of the times. I love it, so I'm not complaining.

By the Window





 

These are pictures of Dylan and Kendall.  Dylan is 10 months in his pictures and Kendall is 15 months.  It's funny to see their similarities.  They have that same little mouth that turns down and that little button nose.  Also their eyes are a lil different, but very much the same.  Kendall's face was a fuller in these pics.  All in all, they remind me of each other so much on most days.  Awwwwwwe, my little heartbeats.....


9 Months

 
 
 


Date:  February 20th

Nicknames: Dyl Dyl, Dyl Man, Big Man, Big Boy, Dylanator, Baby Boy, Chillin' Dylan, Pickle, Pick, Pickle Juice, Pickle Meister, etc

Weight: 18lbs 9oz

Height: n/a

Diaper Size: Size 3

Clothing: 9-12 months

Feedings: 7oz every three hours. Dylan is also taking a rice bottle at night and in the mornings. Dylan is officially eating baby food and two containers at a time. He still likes sweet potatoes(his favorite), carrots, squash, apples, bananas, and all the fruit medlies.  He still doesn't like green beans that much, but he will eat sweet peas.  I made some greens beans (table food), and he liked those.  I officially stopped pumping on February 13th, so Dylan has been drinking frozen milk.  He doesn't like to take rice bottle too often in the mornings now, but would rather have it from bowl.  His daycare teachers say he is a greedy lil something that will cry for rice cereal in the mornings.  He also loves Popeye's potatoes and gravy.  He ate his dad's whole side of potatoes one day (lol).  Needless to say, we won't have to worry about this one being a good eater.

Milestones: Dylan pulls up and stands up on chairs, tables, people, and just whatever.  He takes steps around the table, and even tries to take one hand off  the table and walk.  He thinks he can do a lot more than what he can do right now.  With him looking at his sister every day as well as the other kids in his class, we look for him to walk soon.  Oh one more thing.....he doesn't drool all over the place anymore.  We use to always keep bibs on him just to keep his clothes from being wet, but now we don't have to.  Still no teeth, but we are definitely anticipating them soon

Here are some random pics of My Dylan.  As you can see, he is quite the busy body.
