Kendall and Bella back together again

Kendall's first little friend from daycare was Bella.  They were both premie babies, so they were always the smallest and shortest in their classes.  With that being said, they always played together.  Until one day, I noticed that I didn't see Bella.  Their teacher told me that Bella had moved to another school.  I swear for like two months Kendall would ask me every morning where Bella was.  I had to sadly tell her every morning, I don't know, but maybe we will come across her one day when we are just out and about.  Well, Bella's mom left an invitation to Bella's third birthday at Kendall's daycare.  Kendall was ecstatic that she would get to see Bella again.  The Sophia the First themed party was at The Wonder Place, and they had a ball.  I made sure to get Bella's mom's contact information, so the girls could stay in contact.

Bath time with Dyl Pickle-The Mohawk

Dylan's hair is getting so long and thick.  We couldn't help but to put it in a Mohawk.  Dylan loves splashing water during bath time.  We have good times on bath days.  

Sunday's Best-Kendall Edition

Here is our little Kendall before church.  She is rocking her new hairstyle commonly called a twist out.  I used a new product called As I Am Twist Defining Cream.  I really liked it, and Kendall did as well.  It's gonna really help me out in the mornings with not having to comb it daily.  Any who, all I have to say is this Princess is all ready for church! 

Merry Christmas 2014

Christmas was a complete success and so much fun.  We got to start some family traditions, so I'm glad of that.  Kendall got to open one gift on Christmas Eve, and as you can see she opened a Frozen themed fleece blanket.  She loved it and had to sleep with it that night.

Below are pictures from December 23rd at my friend, Porsche's, cookie decorating party.  In good Kendall fashion, Kendall wanted to decorate and eat the cookies rather than decorate and save for Santa.  She had a good time and is even becoming more and more social with other kids.  She can be a bit of a loner at times, but she is slowly coming out of that shell.  Any who, she had a good time!

I just want to DANCE!!!!!!!!!!

Miss Kendall started dance mid December.  She is in ballet and tap.  On the first day after she put on her dance clothes, I noticed that she was shaking like she was cold.  I asked her if she wanted to put her coat on, and she said, "No!"  I was wondering why and then it dawned on me.  She was looking at all of the older girls who didn't have on coats or jackets, and she was trying to be like them.  Soo cute!  Kendall is very shy, so I didn't know how she would take to going in the dance studio alone.  She was ready and had no problem dancing.  She loved it and followed direction very well.  I truly believe we are about to have some fun times with Kendall in dance.

Date:  December 20th

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

Weight: 16lbs 15oz

Height: 29.5in  

Diaper Size: Size 3

Clothing: 6-9 or 9 months

Feedings: 6-7oz 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 likes sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, and YOGURT.  Yes, I tried him with yogurt, and he loved it.  Oh yeah, we tried him with some Gerber sweet potato flavored puffs.  They dissolve in his mouth pretty fast, but we still break them in half to prevent him from choking.  He loved those too.  He looks so funny when we bring food to our mouths to eat, and he looks like, "Where's my food?"  He is also holding his own bottle 100% now.

Milestones: Can sit up by himself for longer periods of time, smiles all the time, and sleeps in his room all night by himself. He is also trying to crawl and will get up on his knees and move back in forth in the same spot before he plops down off of his knees. We suspect crawling very soon.  He has a new walker from Christmas, so he is very mobile around the house now.  He also likes to flip over on his changing table and try and get his diapers out of the basket.  Guess who use to do that.....Yep, Miss Kendall!  It's amazing how they are so similar.

Likes: Warm milk, lying on his stomach to nap and sleep, splashing water all over the place when he takes a bath, being held and carried around, hearing his sister sing to him (she truly makes him laugh), and grabbing and touching mommy and daddy's face.  He loves baby food, and playing with his sister.  I love seeing them play together.  I pray that they have a close relationship.  As of now, I think they do (big smile).



Have yourSELFIE a Merry Little Christmas

These are random selfie pictures that I took of myself while at work or on my lunch break in my car.  I send Scott a pic of myself from time to time during the day.  Just a little something I do.  The first picture is of me holding the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette that I got with a coupon from Sephora.  I LOVE this eye palette so much.  Really pretty colors!  Just a little Christmas gift to myself.  The others are just different pictures with different lip colors.  Enjoy! He he he!

Jake the Elf on the Shelf

November 23rd marks the first day that our family started the Elf on the Shelf tradition.  Kendall named him Jake after Jake and the Neverland pirates.   We had a fun time with Jake this year and Kendall did too looking for him every morning.  Jake will be a part of our Christmas fun for years to come.

Happy 3rd Birthday Kendall

Kendall turned 3.  Her rainbow themed party was at the trampoline park, and it was very fitting being that she loves to jump, jump, jump.  What was special about this birthday is that she actually blew out her own candle this year.  I was very proud of her.  She got lots of toys and had a downright blast playing with all her friends.  One thing that I will make sure that I get from every party here on out is a family picture of us all and a good solo picture of the birthday girl.  So much is going on that I never get a good picture.  I am determined at all of the other parties.  Any who, here are some action shots and miscellaneous pictures from Kendall's party.
