Fire Station

Once a week, our ward has a get together for the mom's and children in the ward. You can come and go as you please. I have gone a couple times just to get out of the house (especially to let Cameron get energy out). If it is something where I don't think I can handle them both, I don't go, but I know he likes it.

This past week, we were able to go to the Lehi Fire Station. We had to go late because I had to feed Taryn, but we were still able to go. Cameron wasn't too sure, but he wanted to go inside a truck. He wasn't able to, but he got to at least get his own hat and sit on the fire truck to get a picture. We hope there are a lot more exciting places to go. Harder now winter is coming, but I am going to try harder to get him to activities to socialize because he needs it.

4 months

 I can't believe my little girl is 4 months! Why can't pregnancy go as fast as this? LOL They grow up so quickly. We have gotten permission to start the solids with her. She did really good on the first time, but then became a little hesitant. After a little while, she picked it right up again and now we are just slowly increasing the amount she eats.

At her 4 month, she is doing well. She weighs 12 lbs 13 oz (50%). She is 24 1/2 (50%) in length. She is growing big. She is laughing lots and smiling lots too. Cameron loves to copy mom and dad to make her laugh. She loves it though. I love seeing them get a long. I hope it lasts.

She still is struggling to roll over. She has done it a couple of times, but she stopped. She is like her brother and is content with just laying on her back. I am ok with that. I'm not ready for another mobile baby, yet. She has been struggling with standing up and the doctor is afraid it is because of her hips. He wants to do an x-ray to make sure everything is okay. I just don't want to pay the bill for that. We have been practicing everyday though and she is getting better. She is doing well at tummy time. Just need for her to last longer though.

Everything else is going well. Just having fun with a little girl and still learning how to juggle two kids still. I know I will get it, eventually. :)

Going Private

I knew this day would come. There are getting to be a lot of weird people reading the blog so I think it is time to go private. Trying to protect my family :) Please leave a comment with your email if you would like to be added. I will change it in a few weeks so let me know1

Pass of All Passes

Tyler and I decided to invest in the Pass of All Passes. It helps that we got a great deal on it. This will allow us to go do a few things for free now that we have the pass. And it doesn't expire for a year!! We have already put it to good use. We have gone miniature golfing and Cameron even got to ride on some stuff for the first time. We can't wait to use it more!

3 months

Our sweet little girl turned 3 months old. It still amazes me how time flies, especially with two kids. It seems to make time go by faster when you have two.

She seems to be doing better every day. She isn't as fussy, but we are getting there. I tried to do no dairy to see if that would help, but it didn't seem to. It sure was a long 14 days though without dairy. Not sure why she is still fussy, but we will keep doing what we need to as parents.

She is getting so big. She is wearing 3-6 month clothes now. Mostly because of her head. It sounds bad, but the opening at the top doesn't fit over her head so we had to move to bigger sizes. She swims in them though. She is starting to wear dresses to church, so of course I am having fun with that.

Cameron still loves his little sister and she loves him. He will constantly give her kisses. We have to tell him to give her space so she can move and do what she needs to do. She loves to watch him go all over though. I am sure she will love it once she can move too and play with him. We will see how he acts though.

I love having my little girl. It is frustrating at times, but the good always outweigh the bad. The kids are great and I love being a mom.

Family Pictures

 We had the opportunity to get our family pictures done, thanks to Tyler. Enjoy!

 

 

2 months

Our baby girl is now 2 months. I can't believe it. Time always goes by so fast, especially when taking care of two kids. She is still a little fussy with this acid reflux. It makes things a little harder. I can't just put her down to take care of Cameron. Well, I can until she starts screaming. I have just been told to try to stop diary from my diet. I guess we do what we can to make our kids happy. It is going to be very tough for me. I LOVE milk. I guess if she stops fussing, then I need to do it. The doctor said by 6 months, it should be better. The muscle in the stomach area becomes stronger. There is a possibility that solids will help at 4 months. That would be nice.
She is sleeping through the night which is really nice. She sleeps usually 6-7 hours a night now. It helps me, especially since I work at night. I get home about 10:30 pm, feed her and then she is in bed at 11 til about 5:30. Sure helps me out.
Went to the doctor today and she is doing well. Her stats are 10 lbs 5 oz (45%) 23 inch tall (75 %). She is sure growing big. The first thing people say is her cute chubby cheeks and I do say, they are cute.

Cameron is getting so big too. I can't believe he is 2.5 years and will be 3 years old in 4 months! It goes by so fast! He still loves his baby sister. I think he is struggling right now because he wants to play with her, but she is still so small. Soon enough he will be able to.
