He's been all over the place this month. We like to call you bulldozer because you're always running over everything and everyone. You are very antsy and can't sit still for long at all. I can barely hold you without you squirming out of my hands. You don't like to be constrained to a stroller. It's been making my outings rather difficult. I'm looking forward to you starting to walk. It beats you crawling around on dirty floors!<br />
<br />
This month you decided to be done with nursing. I wasn't ready or anticipating you weaning yourself and was a little sad. I tried and tried but you just weren't having it. You'd push away after a minute or two and if I tried to offer again you'd bite me!<br />
<br />
This month you took your first steps. We were all so excited for you! Now every time you take a step Luke and Kate always jump up and down and praise you!<br />
<br />
We celebrated your first christmas. We did Elf on the Shelf and our Elf's name was Jack. You would get so excited every time you found him. I'd also ask where he was and you would look around and say Jack! You'd like to point at him too. So on Christmas day I couldn't resist and had to let you play with Jack! You loved him!<br />
<br />
You like to say Mama, Dada, you've said Jack:) and you also know the theme song to Star Wars thanks to Luke and Kate singing it everyday. Babababababa.<br />
<br />
You've gotten into the fireplace numerous times, you climb up the stairs ALOT, you manage to get yourself into the bathrooms and pull yourself up on the rim of the toilet, eek! You have climbed out of your highchair and sat on top of your tray. You've broken numerous christmas ornaments and fragile items at Grammy and Pa-Pa's house. You have a fascination for dangerous things (sigh). So to sum it up...I've had a very hard time keeping up with you this month. Something tells me you won't be slowing down any.<br />
<br />
Love you sweetums. I can't believe I'm planning your 1 year party, wahhh!!!<br />

This past month Caleb got to celebrate his first Thanksgiving. It conflicted with nap time so he slept through the family dinner but he woke up with an appetite and gobbled up some turkey, stuffing, green beans and mashed potatoes.<br />
<br />
He's of course, growing like a weed and it's really hard to believe that in just two very short months my last baby is going to be one! I keep telling myself to take it all in but I just can't seem to take it in long enough.<br />
<br />
He is on the move! He's gotten into the fireplace and managed to get a mouthful of ashes one day. When we say 'no' he thinks it's a game and crawls faster to the very thing we've said no too. He turns and gives us a big grin and giggle. He gets to the fire place so fast and so often that we've given Kate and Luke duties to pick him up and move him away. It's really cute how they jump up and sigh..Caleb!! No....and then pick up a baby not much smaller then them and carry him to the nearest corner. We've gotten the Christmas tree up and he LOVES to grab at the ornaments and pull them down.<br />
<br />
You like to sit with your feet crossed.<br />
You clap your hands.<br />
You raise your hand above your head and point.<br />
You have 4 teeth now.<br />
You like to give open mouth kisses, love these!<br />
You've been bitting ALOT while nursing...The only reason I'm still nursing is because you're my last baby and I know I'll miss it. But the biting, I'm praying it goes!<br />
You and your brother and sister interact even more now. You guys almost communicate and dialogue it seems.<br />
You eat SO much food. You literally eat adult size portions. And I haven't noticed if you're picky. You LOVE avocados. You are our first child to like avocados;)<br />
You let us know you're done eating by dropping the food left on your tray on the floor.<br />
When you play with toys you like to pick them up and then throw them.<br />

These months have been going so fast. We've enjoyed every moment of every second of the day with him. My heart skips a beat when I sneak into the room and our eyes meet. He's been showing how much of a Momma's boy he is this month. He's been going through a little seperation anxiety when he notices I walk away. But what I love most is when his face lights up when he sees me. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This month was a blur with all the fun things we had going on. Caleb had his first Halloween and was a cute little lion just like his brother was. He also got the dreaded hand, foot and mouth virus. It was AWFUL! Or more like, it looked AWFUL! He handled it pretty well but he had these horrible blisters/boils all over his face, hands, feet and butt.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What you've been up to this month! </div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Two new teeth are sprouting and with that comes more drool and more whining. </li>
<li>You're getting pretty quick with your cruising</li>
<li>You are getting into everything. From crawling on the fire hearth and eating ashes to pulling yourself up on a dirty toilet that your brother left the seat up. I've had a number of parent fail moments this month.</li>
<li>You eat so much food! and you aren't picky!!</li>
<li>You've slowed down on the nursing.</li>
<li>You just recently gotten into liking your paci and I love it. There's just something so cute about a baby and a paci!</li>
<li>You like bath time a lot. </li>
<li>You like to pick up toys and throw them</li>
<li>You wave </li>
</ol>

Can't believe how fast our guy is growing. It's been a fun month and he's been up too a lot. Mostly teething, drooling and getting teeth in this month!<br />
<br />
Here's what's been happening..<br />
<ul>
<li>You like to say, babababa</li>
<li>When you get excited you squeal and you like to compete with your brother and sister yelling the loudest</li>
<li>You like to wrestle with us</li>
<li>You've tried to stand up without holding onto anything.</li>
<li>You've been furniture cruising</li>
<li>You got another tooth in this month. You now have one on the bottom and one on the top</li>
<li>You've bit me several times nursing. Not fun. :)</li>
<li>You like to make sounds with your mouth</li>
<li>You like to pull Kate's hair</li>
<li>You are pretty tough and can grab toys back if they are taken from you</li>
<li>You like to put EVERYTHING in your mouth</li>
<li>You love to find shoes and put them in your mouth</li>
<li>You found the stairs and get to them quickly. You even crawl up them. There may have been a couple times you fell down the first two steps. Not a proud moment for me...</li>
</ul>

<br />
Luke had an extra pep in his step heading off to PRE-K!! I think he knew he was big man on campus. More then the other two years he was super excited to start school. I think because he knows this is the next step to kindergarten. He was never really interested in learning until the start of this year. I was a little worried I was going to have trouble with him liking to learn! But I think I told him enough this summer about what big kids and kindergartner's do that he was excited to learn and be just like them. Just this summer he started drawing his first 'real' pictures. His first picture was a robot and his second was of him at the top of a snow mountain and Caleb and Daddy at the bottom. I was the proudest Momma and have them hanging on our refrigerator with such pride.<br />
<br />
And here's the big man off to school. Thanks Grammy and PaPa for the scholarship;)<br />

This was Kate's first year and she was just too cute and so excited to be doing something her older brother gets to do. I've never seen someone so excited to head off to school. I thought for sure once we would walk to class fear would creep in and she would decide it wasn't for her. Nope, she went straight into class without any hesitation. So much so, I had to walk into her class to make her give me a hug and kiss good bye. She was just too busy and independent for me. She's all about carrying her book bag and finding it herself when she gets out of class for the day.<br />
<br />
I love how when I asked her how she liked her first day she actually answered! She said it was good and I asked what they learned and she said the days of the week. It's also really cute to watch her recite the snack time prayer. I love seeing those cute chunky hands being folded together and eyes squinted head bowed as they pray. So cute! She learned to tickle the wall (genius teacher idea to get the kids to stay against the wall!).<br />
<br />
Katelyn has grown up so much since her 2nd birthday. She is such a little Momma. Always helping with Caleb and telling him and Luke what to do. She loves to make up her own songs and will dance, walk and play while singing. She also loves Mickey Mouse clubhouse and Minnie Mouse. She's really into superheroes and pretending she's batman too. Probably because the only dress up clothes she has in the house are Luke's....guess I need to purchase a couple princess gowns...:). Kate has an insane vocabulary and literally blows us away every day with her dialogue. Most the time she has us rolling with laughter because she's just so funny. She is also quite the artist. She usually prefers to draw and paint her masterpieces on the walls, table and her body so I don't have proof of her creativeness on paper quite yet. I'm very impressed with her skills though. She's able to draw shapes and copy letters. She holds her own too and keeps up very well with big brother. Of course she's also stubborn (two stubborn parents makes for all stubborn children) and has decided to not be potty trained. As much as she is a big girl with her milestones she still in her heart wants to be a baby. She's not quite ready to make that step.<br />
<br />
Here she is off to her first day of preschool. Thank you Grammy and Pa-pa for the scholarship;). They are so happy!!<br />

I was originally going to combine both Luke and Kate's preschool blog entry into one post but then realized I wanted Kate to have her very own post since this was her very first year in preschool! Had to make our little girl feel special too:).<br />

<br />
It's seems like every month some big milestone occurs. This month it was full on crawling, sitting up and pulling up. I can't believe how fast everything is happening. It's exciting but also sad to see just how fast this sweet little baby stage goes.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We're loving every second of every day with this guy! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What you're up too<br />
<ul>
<li>You are pretty much the easiest most laid back guy we know:). </li>
<li>You are definitely on the move and like crawling around discovering and playing with things in each direction. </li>
<li>You've started table foods. There hasn't been anything you haven't liked. You pretty much inhale it too. </li>
<li>You've gotten knocked down a few times by Kate and Luke. </li>
<li>When you sleep you like to find your blanket and stuff the tags in your mouth.</li>
<li>When you're in your crib you like to throw your stuffed animals, pacifier and blanket out.</li>
<li>You've pretty much stopped using a pacifier. </li>
<li>You poop ALL THE TIME! It's got to be at least 4 times a day. It's so much that I can't keep track of how many times a day you do!</li>
<li>It's really easy to get a belly laugh out of you. Just a couple snorts or peek-a-boo.</li>
<li>I love how you can find me in the room and give me a big grin from ear to ear. I think you may be kind of a Momma's boy:).</li>
<li>I LOVE LOVE LOVE to kiss you and hold you tight and smell you. </li>
<li>I love how you have a dimple on your nose. I know, weird place for a dimple...but when you smile or breath hard it appears!</li>
<li>When you get upset you're pretty easy to distract. Just do something silly and you start laughing instead.</li>
<li>When nursing you get very distracted and pull off a lot to take a look at what's going on. It's almost impossible to nurse in public. You always seems to pull the hooter-hider up! When I'm home and nursing I literally have to lock ourselves in a room to get the session over. It's a good thing you can knock it out in under 10 minutes. Lots of damage can be done in 10 minutes from the siblings (i.e. Kate).</li>
<li>When you want Kate and Luke to play with you and crawl into them and kind of nudge them. </li>
<li>Luke and Kate like to get down and crawl with you. They like to try and race. </li>
<li>You notice when someone takes your toy away from you and you don't like it;).</li>
<li>He loves the pool. It's cute watching him splash the water. He doesn't seem to be a fan of the bathtub yet. I'm not sure what it is that makes him scared. He does better taking showers then baths right now...</li>
</ul>
<div>
And the best part...you at 7 months old.<br />

Oh my, this face. Everyday, all day long, I get to see this sweet smile. I just can't get enough! Everything about him is infectious; his smile, smell, giggles, laughter, eyes, nose, mouth, rolls, expressions, chubby hands, everything. We just want to eat him up we love him so.</div>

You've been up to way too much this month!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>You started eating baby foods and solids this month. Your favorites are puffs, sweet potatoes, eggs and you even tried a loved spaghetti!</li>
<li>You crawled right before you turned 6 months. Full on crawling!</li>
<li>You are slowly starting to pull yourself up on things</li>
<li>You can sit up all by yourself</li>
<li>You are very very ticklish</li>
<li>You are easy going. Our road trip to Florida was so nice. You hardly made a peep! </li>
<li>You are happy happy. Someone just has to look at you and you greet them with a smile.</li>
<li>I love to kiss your little mouth. That baby breath is the best:) </li>
<li>You've grown out of the swing and rock and sleep.</li>
<li>You love the jump and go! We say bouncy bouncy and you start jumping</li>
<li>You are FAST! It's been a little hard to make sure floors are kept of little things that you can choke on. </li>
<li>Now that you are bigger Luke and Kate have decided to play more rough with you. You've started a little wrestling with them. Playful of course:)</li>
<li>Luke really likes to try and pick you up now. He also likes to put you in his lap.</li>
<li>You are pretty good about playing contently with your toys and your brother and sisters toys. </li>
</ul>

This month you started to get on your hands and knees and rock back and forth. You want to crawl so badly. We had fun this month and spent a lot of time outside and in the pool. You went to the beach and got to swim in the ocean. You loved it!! You are a little fishy and love to swim and don't mind going on under. You also had your first plane ride and did such a good job. I made sure to nurse you on the way up and on the way down.<br />
<br />
This is what you've been up to this month:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You're an inch worm.</li>
<li>You like to do the superman pose when on your belly</li>
<li>We call you roly poly because you can roll across the room in the matter of seconds</li>
<li>You love your jump seat and exersaucer. We say jumpy jumpy and you start jumping</li>
<li>You make your way to anything and everything. I'm going to have to start making rules for small toys on the floor!</li>
<li>You got into a deck of pokeman cards and pooped pokeman cards for a couple of days</li>
<li>You like the shower and love the water running over your head and back</li>
<li>We've reached the stage where you get distracted easily while nursing. Any noise makes you pull off to look around which is pretty much always with a brother and sister around. A lot of the times I have to lock myself in a room so you can finish!:)</li>
</ul>

I know these pictures may seem all the same to everyone but to me he looks so different in everyone. I couldn't help but post all of them. He's just so darn cute! </div>

Our spicy, sweet, friendly, outgoing, life of the party, comical, brave, adventurous, independent firecracker turned two! Her favorite's these days are bunnies and pink so this was a fitting theme. We are so thankful God brought Kate into our lives. She fills our house with so much joy and laughter. There isn't a day that goes by that we burst into laughter with her silly sayings and mannerisms. She adores her older brother and mimics all that he does. In fact, she is certain the color 'blue' is not 'blue' but 'wuke' because she knows that is his favorite color. She's our girly yet doesn't mind get dirty and playing rough girl. She loves to twirl and wear dresses but can also play super heroes and legos with Luke. She is confident and strong. Our prayer is these amazing attributes she exemplifies now, will carry through to the rest of her life. We pray that she understands the Lord created her uniquely and individually set her apart, that she won't be swayed by her peers. She is beautiful inside and out. We are overjoyed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had such a fun time celebrating you. You LOVED your birthday party and loved when everyone sang you happy birthday. You were so good at making everyone feel welcomed too. You loved your marshmallow craft {you kept eating the marshmallow's} and pin the tail on the bunny. You were a pro at opening presents and it looked like you might have enjoyed reading the cards just as much as the presents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some things we love about you:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>You dress yourself. You even put your shoes on by yourself</li>
<li>You like to change diapers. Whether it's Caleb's diaper or your stuffed animals.</li>
<li>You like to be bossy. Luke was in time out and you went to him and said, "Wuke, you need to say sorry, you need to look me in the eyes and say sorry"</li>
<li>You had an imaginary friend for a while. He was a lion and you used to always say at meal times that, "The lion bite my toes"</li>
<li>You are messy messy. You love to paint yourself with sauces and food. When we play outside you quickly find the dirt and rub it all over your arms and legs. This drives me just a little bit crazy:)</li>
<li>When you think someone is not being nice you yell, "not nice!"</li>
<li>You are very independent and even buckle yourself in your seat</li>
<li>You communicate very well for a 2 year old. You've even memorized bible verses and Psalm 23 with Luke</li>
<li>You still like to sleep with your blanket and put it in your mouth.</li>
<li>You have your favorite stuffed animals and you switch out which ones you want to sleep with at night.</li>
<li>You and your brother share a room as of when you were 19 months. You aren't so good at staying in your bed at night. You like to cause a little trouble at bed time i.e. playing with the pictures above your bed, running to Luke's bed, playing behind the curtains and bringing toys into your bed. You make us laugh when we catch you in the act. You are so cute when you're in trouble. It makes it very hard to discipline. </li>
</ul>

I can't believe my baby is 4!! It was a toss up as to whether or not Luke would get a birthday party this year. His baby brother was going to be arriving very close to his birthday and I wasn't sure I could pull things off. Luke is so outgoing and loves to party not to mention he has the most appreciation for decorations then anyone else I know! Which makes him most deserving of party {I think}.</div>
<br />
Luke was all about super heroes this year so it was a given this would have to be the theme. We threw it at a local high school gym. Perfect for easy set up and clean up. PLUS, the kids had complete freedom to do whatever they wanted {parents could sit back and relax}. I wanted to have a couple easy games {super hero related} the kids could play while also just playing around the gym. I showed my husband these easy and cheap ideas and of course he went above and beyond recreating all of them and making them look way better then I ever imagined. Him and his Dad made a cool bat cave with 'lasers' shooting across each side the kids would have to crawl through, a scary green alien with a slot cut out that kids had to throw Captain America's shield into, an evil villian with targets that kids had to shoot, a spider web with different point levels they had to toss corn sacks at and a machine they had to throw grenades in to blow up! While playing the kids would be able to earn tickets at each station and at the end could win different prizes. Just like Chuck-E-Cheese but WAY cheaper. The kids had so much fun and LOVED collecting tickets.<br />
<br />
Luke, you had so much fun and of course were so happy and appreciative. You loved having your friends surrounding you to celebrate YOU!<br />
<br />
Luke, we are so incredibly in love with you. Your love, compassion, kindness, thoughtfulness, gentleness, sensitivity, patience at your age astonishes us. You teach us so much. You are also so silly, animated and outgoing. You already have a love for Jesus and God and know He loves you. We are so proud of the boy you are.<br />
<br />
Things you love:<br />
<ul>
<li>Your brother. You call him, 'my baby.' You told me I had to have another baby for Katelyn.</li>
<li>Your sister. You two started sharing a room a couple months ago and it was the easiest and best thing we could have ever done. Kate likes to climb up in your bed hang out with you. There have been a couple times she wouldn't go to bed right away and I would watch you go to her bed and sing, pray and tuck her in. It's so sweet it melts my heart. </li>
<li>You are still great at memorizing and enjoy doing it. You have tons of books, songs and scriptures memorized. Your longest verse is Psalm 23</li>
<li>We signed you up for your first sport, soccer. You had your first practice last week. You were so cute to watch! You looked like such a big boy too. You are loving it and always want to wear your soccer cleats and jerseys. </li>
<li>You are always so helpful around the house and do a great job being a good example to your sister. </li>
<li>You are a chatterbox. You talk and talk and talk and are very persistent with making sure we are actually listening.</li>
<li>You are a great leader and make a great friend to others.</li>
</ul>

He has done so much this month it's crazy. I just want him to slow it down. I'm pretty sure he's our last and he's hitting his milestones a little to early for my liking:). We had a fun month!<br />
<br />
This is what you were up too:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I love to hold you up over my head and watch you give me big smiles and giggles</li>
<li>You are ticklish. Just a little rub on the chest with my knuckle will get the giggles out</li>
<li>You are laid back. We were just noticing how you don't make a peep in the car.</li>
<li>You started teething and it looks and sounds like it's pretty painful</li>
<li>Luke and Kate love to play with you and make you laugh. You LOVE to watch them and are very entertained by them. You are constantly looking around for them and following them.</li>
<li>You rolled over! So early too. Maybe 1 week after your 3 month birthday. You roll from back to belly and belly to back. That's the first thing you do when I put you down. </li>
<li>It's looks like you are already trying to crawl! You 'swim' when you are on your belly.</li>
<li>Once you started rolling I moved you into the sleep sack. I was so sad so have you out of the swaddle. Now you like to sleep on your belly.</li>
<li>You like to take naps in your bed or in your swing but you have to be swaddled tight with your face covered if you are in the swing.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here you are in all your cuteness! </div>

You are growing way to fast. Before your 2 month check-up {which should have been more like your 2-1/2 month check-up} I was curious as to how tall you were going to measure. You didn't seem to be fitting into any of the cute footed pajamas I'd put Luke in at this stage. Sure enough we found you're 98 percentile in height {on the cuff of 99%}. This seems to make you look older then a 2 month old baby! You also got your shots and didn't handle them well. That night was a tough night. As I'm writing I realized I never gave you tylenol. Poor baby, that would have probably helped the pain!<br />
<br />
It was again another busy crazy month. We managed to get sick AGAIN! I'm reminded, the more kids you have the more sick you get. And when you get sick you ALL get sick. Kate had her 2 year birthday, so much fun! My write up for her is coming soon. I just started a new business venture with Nerium {super excited about}. Kate hit her terrible 2's {I totally forgot how bad that was, now x's by two since she has a sibling in the house she constantly has to share with}.<br />
<br />
BUT this little one's sweet smiles, giggles, sour milk smell is what kept me getting through the month. Even if it was coupled with vomiting, screaming, crying, nagging, arguing, fighting, etc. Even Luke and Kate are my sweetest little angels if 90% of them this month was the above stated:).<br />
<br />
<br />
This is what you've been up to this month:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You like sitting in your Bumbo </li>
<li>You like tummy time</li>
<li>You rolled over for the first time at around 13 weeks old</li>
<li>You reach and grab for your toys</li>
<li>You like to scratch at fabrics</li>
<li>Your sleeping patterned changed a little this month. Regressed. Hopefully this new month will change!</li>
<li>You are really tall and can't fit in any of your footed pjs. </li>
<li>It's been hard keeping you swaddled at night. You're in between sizes in blankets and you kick and break through! (I think this is part of the reason you wake up so often at night). I just recently double swaddled and it seemed to work! You slept and stayed swaddled:).</li>
<li>You love when we talk to you and make funny sounds. It makes you laugh.</li>
<li>You're ticklish. Specifically your inner thighs, bottom, chest and feet. I guess that's anywhere!</li>
<li>You follow our voices and movement</li>
<li>You laugh and smile a lot</li>
<li>Mommy really likes how much you engage now. You talk and say so much in those sweet big gray eyes</li>
<li>Mommy also likes how you look up at her while nursing. It melts my heart. You only have eyes for me;)</li>
<li>You coo. When I get close and talk {sometimes I talk right into your mouth} you talk back to me. </li>
<li>You love to move. Mr. Wiggleworm! When we hold you out it's like you're swimming, you kick and move those hands out so fast! </li>
<li>You are quite wobbly. It's fun to see you just look around and wobble. Still learning to move those body parts:)</li>
<li>You are one lucky guy to have such great entertainers in your brother and sister. They LOVE to entertain you. Playing with you on your activity mat is one of their favorites. </li>
<li>You got whacked with a ball already. You were startled and cried. </li>
<li>Your brother and sister are constantly showering you with hugs and kisses. </li>
</ul>

Both Caleb and I took a road trip to South Florida this month with Grammy and his Aunt and new cousin to throw our cousin a wedding shower. We managed to survive with the most frequently asked question, "are they twins?" because I think it's more common to see twins then see friends or sisters with new born babies!<br />
<br />
I got my sanity back this month. The household was healthy, the weather was warming, the nursing was successful and we've been sleeping. Sleeping makes all the difference in the world.<br />
<br />
Here is what you're up to this month.<br />
<ul>
<li>I don't think I've mentioned you have long fingers and toes!</li>
<li>You smile and laugh</li>
<li>We've found a couple ticklish spots on you</li>
<li>You are easy going</li>
<li>You like the silly baby sounds I make. As long as I get laughs and smiles I'll continue to make myself look silly.</li>
<li>For some reason you (like Kate) like your bottom pat while I'm nursing. It's the only way I can get you to stop fussing while your nursing. I guess it distracts you.</li>
<li>You are starting to make the coo sounds and it's sweet music to my ears.</li>
<li>Your cry sounds like a Pterodactyl</li>
<li>You like to put your fists up like your ready for a fight:)</li>
<li>You are very expressive. You make your brother and sister laugh and they try and copy the faces you make!</li>
<li>Watching you poop is pretty funny. You push so hard and make the loudest grunt noises. </li>
<li>I forgot to mention you take a paci and this is golden. We call it the plug, hehe:). We just shove that baby in when you're crying and you usually calm down. The other great thing is you don't need it to fall asleep. Just when you're crabby;). </li>
<li>When Kate and Luke hold you they like to put the paci in your mouth. </li>
<li>Kate likes to help change your diapers. </li>
</ul>
Oh boy, do boys have special places in Mommy's hearts. This month I've really connected with you a lot more. When you look up and give me sweet little smiles and laughs it melts my heart. I can't keep myself from kissing you all over all day long. You are just so sweet sweet sweet!<br />

These are pictures of my sister's baby shower that I put together with some of her friends. It's been well over a year since then and she's already had another baby! We had so much fun celebrating her and her baby. That very next day I get a call from my sister worried that things don't seem right with how she's feeling. With a run down of her symptoms I thought for sure she was dehydrated and to go to the hospital for fluids {She was only 32 weeks along}. She gets to the hospital to find out she is 8cm dilated and the baby was coming that day! Her baby girl arrived healthy as could be. They were prepared for NICU but she ended up getting to stay with her Mommy and they were able to leave after a few days!<br />

This was such a cute idea her friend came up with. Decorate your red fingerprint as a ladybug and then sign your name. My sister added this to her baby's room. </div>

<br />
What a month it has been! We survived by the skin of our teeth. We were thankful to have so much help this month. Never could we have imagined the hurdles we were going to encounter.<br />
<br />
As soon as you arrived and you let out your first cry I noticed you were tongue-tied like your sister. I kind of prepared myself for nursing being a challenge. When we met with the pediatrician and lactation consultant both confirmed you were tongue-tied so we didn't wait long to schedule an appointment for the clipping procedure. Thankfully the appointment was scheduled just a couple days after you were born. Nursing definitely wasn't going well and it was really painful. You would get very frustrated and cry a lot. You had a follow up appointment at the pediatric office and your weight had dropped. No real worries since you hadn't had the procedure yet. When you had the procedure I thought things would be better. You had a weight check scheduled to make sure you were on the up. Nursing still seemed to be a struggle and you didn't seem happy at all with it. Weigh in day had arrived and you had dropped even lower. This was a real concern since we should've seen progress after the procedure was complete. At that point I called the lactation consultant and they said to pump, bottle and nurse until he got back to his birth weight. When I started on this path I felt like I completely sabotaged nursing. You were pretty much only wanting the bottle and nursing was becoming even more of a struggle. I met with a consultant and as she watched you nurse she agreed. You were angry and as of now it would be better to give you and me a break from nursing until you got a little bigger. So I pumped and bottle fed for the next three weeks and it was exhausting.<br />
<br />
On top of the nursing challenges we were bombarded with all the winter viruses. We all had really bad colds which even you picked up at only 2 weeks old. It was really sad to hear you congested. You had such a hard time breathing since at this age you only know how to breath through your nose. Luke got tonsillitis then pneumonia and then the flu and Kate may have had the flu or just some virus that gives you a fever for a couple of days. It was really hard to get your brother and sister to understand they couldn't hold or touch you during this long week. They love you so much. It was sweet to see how understanding Luke was about it.<br />
<br />
We made it through these hard weeks and then all of a sudden one day we tried nursing again and you took to it! This past week you have been exclusively nursing and I have just begun to stop pumping. This has been a huge answer to prayer. We have been surrounded by friends and family that have encouraged and provided help during this time and we are so very thankful!<br />
<br />
Here are some things we love about you!<br />
<ul>
<li>You are very easy going</li>
<li>You don't mind the chaos and loud noise that a family of 5 brings.</li>
<li>You have tons of fuzzy chick hair. Kate likes to touch it and twirl it.</li>
<li>Your brother and sister love you so much. They are so sweet and concerned for you.</li>
<li>When you cry they want to know what's wrong and ask for us to check on you and make sure you're okay. They also always come to the conclusion that you're crying because you're hungry. </li>
<li>You look a lot like your Daddy. You have his exact hairline</li>
<li>You have long fingers and toes.</li>
<li>We enjoy holding you and smelling you. You smell so good!:)</li>
<li>We had you in our room for the first three weeks. I did a lot of skin on skin since I wasn't able to nurse. Although I didn't get much sleep I enjoyed holding you close to me. You were so warm and cozy. </li>
<li>The last week of this month we put you in your crib for bedtime and some naps. You did great transitioning and kept the same sleep patterns.</li>
<li>You sleep 4 hour stretches at night. Sometimes you'll get to 5 hours.</li>
<li>We discovered we can't leave Katelyn unattended with you. I found her trying to shove play food in your mouth. You poor baby! </li>
<li>Luke and Kate love to hold you. They even got to feed you a bottle a couple times. </li>
<li>You are very strong. You hold your head up well and you have a good grip!</li>
<li>You were not a fan of diaper changes for the first couple weeks. You would SCREAM! We figured out it was because you didn't like to be cold so we set up a little space heater at your changing station and you didn't make a peep.</li>
<li>You aren't a huge fan of baths, again, it relates to being cold and you do not like being cold.</li>
<li>You love to be swaddled. Just like Luke, you like for the blanket to cover your face. We leave an air-pocket of course!</li>
<li>You love to be warm. If we bundle you, you'll sleep for hours. </li>
</ul>

He arrived February 1, 2015 at 1:49am</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8 pounds 7 ounces and 20.25 inches long </div>
<br />
You arrived when you wanted. Mommy was trying her hardest to not let her type A personality get in the way of you arriving when you wanted. I'm not going to lie, it was tough, but with you potentially being my last I really wanted and desired to know what true labor pains were. You ended up being by far my favorite birthing experience. And I think that's fair for you since you are potentially our last and I'm sure you'll be skimped on video footage and photos!<br />
<br />
Luke and Katelyn were scheduled inductions and I really wanted to try and go 'natural' this time {meaning no induction but yes to an epidural}. I assumed since Caleb was my third he would at least arrive on my due date. I wasn't planning for a later arrival {I had his brother's fourth birthday party planned two weeks after his due date}. It was getting pretty stressful with every passing day after his due date.<br />
<br />
One week before my due date I went in for my routine OB check up and found I was only one centimeter dilated {no surprise there}. I was on the fence with whether to have the midwife strip my membranes since this never worked with my other pregnancies. She convinced me she was 'pretty good at it' so I went ahead with the discomfort. With my due date just one week away I decided I would test the ole' wives tale and eat at Scalini's {an italian restaurant that swears their eggplant parmesan puts women into labor}. I was trying really hard not to get my hopes up but with these two things PLUS the fact that he was my third {and apparently that means things happen fast, so I've been told} that I would see some progress at my next appointment {due date day}. Sure enough they check and I'm barely two centimeters. So I was bummed and I was especially bummed when they said I would be in for a stress test couple days later to check on the baby and made no mention of scheduling an induction {which in hind site was a good thing because I would have scheduled!}. So, a couple days later I'm back in the office taking the stress test and the midwife checks to see if I've made any progress with dilating and she informs me that I'm barely a 2 still. She senses my frustration and says she can strip the membranes further and also put a scheduled induction on the books just in case I don't end up laboring on my own.<br />
<br />
We had a scheduled induction for February 4th and I was praying you would come sooner! The days leading up to labor I was getting a lot of uncomfortable Braxton Hicks. They were the most uncomfortable in the evenings. Every evening I would wonder if this was "it" because they were that uncomfortable. On Saturday January 31st, our family had an early dinner {5:00pm}. We were eating Tacos. As soon as we sat down I got an uncomfortable contraction. I started complaining to Dave telling him every night this has been happening and it makes me wonder if it's labor. Within the span of an hour at the dinner table I get about three uncomfortable contractions and don't help myself with 'seconds'. This is NOT like me. I always get up for seconds and thirds! After dinner, I round the kids up for bath time and by that point the contractions are really uncomfortable and I tell Dave we should probably start timing them because they seem consistent. Bath time is done and I tell Dave I think we may have this baby tonight or early morning so let's plan to go to the hospital tonight {at a reasonable hour} to check in but that we would have time to hang out at the closest Starbuck's for one last 'date'. We call my parents and tell them to take their time but plan to stay at our house that night while we got to the hospital. My plan was to leave the house by 10pm. As soon as I get off the phone I get a contraction that I have to "breath through" and start second guessing my plans for leaving later. Dave is getting frantic realizing that my contractions are between 4-6 minutes apart and 1 minute long. We call my parents again and tell them they need to skip their dinner date and head over now. Thankfully we put the kids down early and they were asleep by the time my parents were over. That couldn't have been planned more perfectly.<br />
<br />
We get to the hospital and make our way to the nurse triage. I explain my contractions and they tell me the beds are full and that I would need to wait in the waiting room until one became available. I thought she meant the beds in ALL of labor and delivery were full so I freaked out on her for just a moment and she then explained it was only the triage beds that were full. Since I hadn't gone in "labor" before I didn't know about this step:). Dave and I head to the waiting room and my contractions are very painful at this point that I'm 'breathing' through every one of them. I found the best way to get through them was rub my belly and breath long and deep. I think maybe an hour went by and they finally had a room available. They check me and I'm 6 centimeters dilated. I was a little frustrated because I thought with this amount of pain surely I was like an 8! But they told me I was doing a really good job for being a 6 and that I could probably go without an epidural. They wheel me to the delivery room and I was pretty proud of myself for making it to labor without an induction and being able to bear the contractions on my own. I told my nurse to hold off on calling the <span style="background-color: white;">anesthesiologist </span>because I wanted to see how long I could go without it. Not soon after, I got a couple really painful contractions and had her call them up.<br />
<br />
I was nervous about the epidural since I had some complications with it when I had Katelyn. When he arrived I let him know my concerns and I was pretty annoyed by his apparent lack of interest. He barely listened and talked over me. Sure enough, he sets me up and minutes after he leaves my blood pressure starts dropping. I had an amazing nurse that was able to get me back quickly and keep it from dropping any lower. She was really annoyed with him too and said he's notorious for giving too much of the drug. Once my blood pressure leveled labor was a breeze from that point on. I did however itch like crazy everywhere {side effect from the epidural} so I wasn't able to fall asleep but I think the itchiness was better then feeling the painful contractions:). The epidural did slow down my contractions so I was in labor a little longer then if I never got it. A couple hours later, I don't feel pressure {the guy dosed me up to strong to feel anything} but I was feeling pressure on my chest {kind of a feeling of anxiety} so I call the nurse in and she checked me to find that I was ready to push. My midwife comes in and asks me to do a practice push. One practice push and three pushes later Caleb was out! It was so easy!:) Caleb was quiet for what seemed like eternity. I kept saying, is he going to cry?! And then finally he started. We got to hold him immediately and love on him.<br />
<br />
Here are our pictures from the hospital. We didn't have as many as with Kate and Luke because we got out of there as quickly as possible {24 hours later}. Because the flu was bad this year they weren't allowing siblings to visit the rooms. We really wanted Luke and Kate to meet him as soon as possible! Not to mention the beds are so uncomfortable and the interruptions throughout the night are annoying:).<br />

We arrive home February 2nd where Luke and Katelyn got to meet there baby brother for the first time. The immediate love they had for him was priceless. They couldn't wait to hold him and they were so concerned when you cried.</div>

Halloween and fall festivities were so much fun this year, even if we didn't get to make our annual trip to Yahoo Farms or to Hillcrest Apple Orchards. We were just too busy. Luke and Kate were into pumpkin patches this year. Kate would call any pumpkin she came across a 'punkin patch'. We went to two local farms this year instead driving a couple hours further and the kids seemed to have just as much fun! I don't know what it is about pumpkins that makes them so exciting but they loved them and the ones at the grocery store were getting excitement!<br />
<br />
Us parents got kind of excited with the anticipation of Halloween and asked Luke back in late September what he wanted to be. Captain America! Every week, almost everyday he wanted to know when he could trick or treat. It was a loooonnnng four weeks. Maybe we'll be a little more last minute next year;). He was so excited about being Captain America he would tell just about everyone he came across. Not to mention Daddy HAD to be the incredible Hulk and I HAD to be Wonder Woman. Kate was the fairy;).<br />
<br />
For our little outgoing man we were excited to throw a Halloween party with friends and also have friends come along for trick or treating. He had so much fun.<br />
<br />
The day of Halloween we had fun carving our pumpkin and preparing the house for friends. Luke enjoyed being able to carve the pumpkin and actually hold the knife himself! Kate enjoyed just sitting back and watching. She wasn't a big fan of the gooey insides but baby Grace sure was! Trick or treating was cut short due to unexpected rain but that didn't stop the fun from happening in the house. Luke also liked to be in charge of passing out candy.<br />
<br />
Here are some fun pictures that highlight all the fun we've had this fall.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our baby girl had to get tubes in her ears this past winter. It was a hard decision to make since we didn't want to see our sweet little 9 month old have to undergo surgery. After a long three months of constant fluid and continual ear infections we and the doctors decided it was the best decision. She had been in so much pain because of the ear infections. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The procedure took place at the hospital's outpatient facility. Everyone was very nice. I don't think they see many babies so the nurses were all over Katelyn:). She got a cute little teddy bear and got to ride in a little radio flyer while we were waiting for surgery. Katelyn of course had no idea what was going on so she was having fun just exploring everything. When the doctor came she said it will be really quick (10 minutes) and that nothing will hurt Kate. However, she did mention the side effects of the anestheia will make her very upset when she wakes up. She prepared us for screaming and crying. So we waited and waited and sure enough about 10 minutes later I could hear my little Kate screaming. That moment felt like eternity. I wanted to run back there and hold her. They finally let us go back to be reunited. She was being a calmed by a sweet nurse who was rocking her. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are so happy we decided to go through with the surgery. Everything went perfect afterwards. She hasn't had a single ear infection since. I'm praying this winter they either stay in or we won't have any ear infection problems. It was worth it but I'd rather not have her go through surgery again:)</div>

<br />
So.....we're pregnant and happy to shout it from the roof tops! We found out a while ago (back in May) but I'm just now finding the time to sit down and write about it:). We are so very excited and are enjoying the excitement of this pregnancy maybe as much as the first pregnancy.<br />
<br />
This time we have a kid that is old enough to know what's going on. He's excited. When we told him at first a baby was growing inside my belly he had an inquisitive look on his face. Obviously he doesn't fully get the idea but we asked if he wanted a boy (brother) or a girl (sister). He first said sister and it was a sister he wanted for a couple of weeks. I was kind of surprised but then I thought maybe he just doesn't know any different since that's what he has already. I asked again another time and he said a boy and this time he was very persistent that the baby was a boy and had to be a boy.<br />
<br />
Along came the day we would go in for our 8 week ultrasound. We brought the kids along. We thought it would be fun for them to get in on the excitement. So we're in the ultrasound room and since I'm not very far along they use the Transvaginal ultrasound. So I'm exposed waste down with just a thin paper sheet covering the top of me, Dave is holding Kate and not paying attention to where Luke is standing when the sonographer says, "Um, not sure you want your son to have the front view, you may want to move him." So Dave, quickly grabs Luke as he is curious to what is going on and Luke doesn't want to move! So embarrassing.<br />
<br />
At this point the pregnancy is going as well as it goes in the first trimester. The usual all day nausea, hating all foods healthy and only eating carbs, to extreme tiredness. I felt so useless for those several several weeks. Thank goodness my kids both take a two hour nap at the same time. I got to take one with them pretty much everyday:). I gained my first 20 pounds as usual during the first trimester. <br />
<br />
The entire pregnancy I had a gut feeling it was a boy. My symptoms were too eerily close to the same as when I was pregnant with Luke. I was very excited to find out whether I was right or wrong because this was going to help me determine whether or not I could ever trust my gut again (usually my gut is always wrong).<br />
<br />
So the day came for us to find out the sex. We were running pretty late for the appointment because I have pregnant brain and thought my appointment was a later time. Dave ended up having to take Luke to preschool and drive separately to meet me at the appointment. I called the office on my way and they said I could be a little late so I decided to meet Dave at a parking lot so we could ride together the rest of the way. We're five minutes to the appointment and I hear a strange sound in the backseat {it sounded like water pouring}. I turn back to look and see Katelyn puking all over herself. I couldn't help but laugh so hard that I was crying. Then the overwhelming smell came and I had to roll the window down while still continuing to laugh tears. She looked so cute and so pathetic just sitting in her own vomit. And then...she pukes again! Again, laughter, uncontrollable laughter. I gave her an adult sized breakfast of bananas, oatmeal and milk and she literally threw the entire meal up! So, again, we're running late to the appointment and I was to scared for us to pull over because I thought the doctor's office would cancel our appointment {and there was no way I was going to reschedule the babies anatomy scan and miss out on knowing the sex another day!}. I had Dave keep driving until we got to the office. At that point I get to go inside and get started with the appointment while poor Dave has to clean up the horrible mess {now, you see why I could laugh the entire time she was puking instead of cry}. Dave makes it back with Kate with her smell of puke lingering. We make it to the ultrasound and as soon as the sonographer flashes the baby on the screen I immediately see 'it'. She said, "Would you like me to confirm?" And she did. It's a BOY! We're excited and can't wait to meet the little guy. We had a very eventful day that would never be forgotten.<br />
<br />
Now we can start the baby planning and room planning. The nursery is pretty much set. It'll be Luke's room. Katelyn and Luke will now share a room.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm passed the 1st trimester (whew) and well into the 2nd trimester, in fact, just 6 more weeks until I'm in the third trimester!! It's going SO fast. I'm not sure I have any real cravings, just want very specific things sometimes. I am on a kick for trail mix and make up my own version almost everyday. It's nice because it sustains, plus Luke and Katelyn like eating it too.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics from the ultrasound and of course Kate wearing her puke:)<br />

Since you turned one you have transformed into a spunky, uniquely crazy, wild, sweet girl. Sometimes it's hard to describe just how you are, but I love every bit of it. You have grown up so much since one. From walking at 13 months, talking and speaking more clearly then Luke did at 2-1/2 years old, to having no fear for things most babies should fear {i.e. water, bugs, loud noises, etc (you are drawn to them)}. You love to get down and dirty too. Just lay right down and roll in the dirt kind of dirty. Your little waddle cracks us up and how you swing your arms forward and back with your head up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>You love ants and bugs when you find them on the ground you get flat on your belly and point to them saying, "ewe, ewe!"</li>
<li>You love to dance, whether there is music playing or not. You like to also do hand motions to songs.</li>
<li>You're a biter. When someone {Luke} takes something you've been playing with you go in for the bite. It's happened several times. And you know how we know Luke is telling the truth? He's got the bite marks to prove it. Poor guy. We're working on it with Kate. Feisty!!</li>
<li>You are a very affectionate little girl. She loves to give out hugs and kisses. She will just randomly look at you while you're holding her and when you make eye contact she leans in for the kiss. Or you'll be just laying on the floor and she'll hover over to give a kiss or hug. She really knows how to make someone feel special.</li>
<li>You love to play with your dolls and stuffed animals and will hold on a conversation with them. You'll rock them, hug them and kiss them.</li>
<li>You are fascinated with babies and always wants to go up to them and touch them.</li>
<li>You are a Daddy's girl and love him so much. When he comes in the house from work you run yelling, "Daddy Daddy"!!</li>
<li>You and your brother have the sweetest relationship together. Luke likes to wrestle and tickle you. I like to hear him ask you questions like, "Kate, do you wanna play with me?" and always say, "yea!" My most favorite is to hear you two play when you have no idea I'm listening. You two really have quite an imagination.</li>
<li>You are very very mischievous. We have a video Uncle Bo took to prove it. </li>
<li>As of now you are not a fan of Mommy or Daddy holding other people's babies. You get very jealous and start crying. We'll have to work on this one before the next baby comes along!</li>
<li>Your tantrums are pretty dramatic. I like how you gracefully fall to the floor and roll around. It's quite comical.</li>
<li>All four of your molars have come in but you are still missing a few more.</li>
<li>You do very well going up and down the stairs on your own.</li>
<li>You are LOUD! When you get hurt or upset you express it loudly. Or when Luke takes something you were playing with, you scream!</li>
<li>You like to say "I do that, I do that" when you don't want mommy to help you with something.</li>
<li>When we pray as a family before our meals and at night you like to say "amen" at the end. You also look really cute bowing your head, squinting your eyes and holding our hands.</li>
<li>You LOVE to put clothes on or at least try too. Most the time I catch you in the laundry room sifting through clothes and trying to find what you want to put on. It's usually Luke's underwear;). The same goes for shoes. You like to try on everyone's shoes.</li>
<li>You've gotten a good amount of mouth wounds. I'm praying you'll keep your cute little teeth!</li>
<li>You don't like when your hair gets in your eyes and when they do, you say, "eyes, eyes!" Which means, Mommy put a bow in my hair so it will stay out of my eyes! She'll even point to her bows and say eyes. I try to tell her they're bows but she's made up her own name, 'eyes'. ;)</li>
<li>You don't sit very still for long. You're always on the move. You won't even sit still for a show or movie! The same goes for coloring and reading. You're not yet a fan but I'm really hoping you will be!!</li>
</ul>
<div>
Katelyn you are a crazy girl and we love you so much. We'd be missing so much excitement without you.<br />

<br />Ashley and Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08358359508704414455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873458307050924260.post-65701403232796440982014-09-08T11:22:00.002-07:002014-09-08T11:22:50.321-07:00Luke's back to Preschool!Our little guy is over 3 years old {free}! This guy stole our hearts from the moment he entered this world. His big heart and personality inspire us to strive to be the best parents we can. He is a fun, energetic, funny, outgoing, big hearted, God loving, kind, athletic, artistic, handsome little guy! This year we got to see Luke become a sweet big brother and his love for Jesus grow.<br />
<br />
It amazes me to see just how big his heart is and how tender-hearted he is. He's super sensitive to the needs of others and when someone hurts him it breaks his heart {and my heart too}. His relationship with his sister is a perfect example. If she gets hurt, he's right beside her making sure she's okay saying things like, "poor baby." Most the time he is great about helping me with chores and getting things for me. He is so great at helping others. At night time we pray that God will help give us opportunities to serve and help others. A couple times after he has helped someone or me he has followed up with saying "Mommy, this makes God very happy." It just melts my heart to see that he's already understanding God's love and showing it to others while starting to understand it all the same.<br />
<br />
Luke has also been insanely good at memorizing and is up to 11 verses from memorization. He also has several of his picture books memorized and will read them to me at night! Just the other day he read Kate's favorite book, "The Biggest Kiss" from memory. It was so cute to see the two of them sitting in her chair and reading together.<br />
<br />
He is quite the adventurer too. Just when I thought he was more on the timid side I find him outside with Daddy repelling from a tree. He also tried wake boarding for the first time last week. All on his own with no encouragement from us, he begged to go with Daddy. So off they went and he had a blast. Luke also learned to swim this summer and hasn't looked back. He dives for the sinking toys and all.<br />
<br />
We've noticed recently the dynamic has changed with Luke and "big kids'. Luke as always, loves to try and hang with the 'big kids'. It's always been great {I guess maybe because when he was a baby older kids didn't feel threatened} but now I've been noticing that the big kids haven't been so nice or keen on playing with Luke. Luke's had to deal with some meanness from the older kids and it just breaks my heart to see them taunt and tease him and see Luke have to deal with it. One time his feelings were so hurt he just kind of hung out on his own in the distance and didn't want to be bothered. My prayer is that Luke will always be the sweet one and that he will stand up for others who are treated unfairly.<br />
<br />
Some funny things:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I'm trying to swat flies with a hand towel in the kitchen one day and Luke is right beside me watching and saying - every time I swat and miss - "smack it Mommy, smack it. Just smack it Mommy. You got to smack it Mommy." His face was adorable just watching me swat and miss every time while throwing out 'encouraging' words.</li>
<li>I'm upstairs with Kate while Luke is downstairs. Kate is asking for a drink and I'm to tired/lazy to get it. I holler for Luke to please get her cup and he says, "of what you say Mommy? I sorry I don't hear you!" He runs upstairs with the drink in hand. </li>
<li>As Dave is cooking pancakes one day and I am no where in sight Luke says, " Daddy, you're not pretty - Mommy's pretty - you're Daddy."</li>
<li>Before I get Luke dressed before his first day of preschool Luke begs for me not to put him in the bear shirt. I couldn't figure out what he was talking about since he doesn't have a 'bear' shirt when all of a sudden I realized he was talking about the nice polo shirts I like to put him in for special occasions. When I asked Luke if that's what he was talking he said, "yes and that's for church and not for school!" Oh dear, we already have an opinionated little guy!</li>
<li>Luke learned a phrase from a cartoon, he is no longer allowed to watch where the character yells, "I don't care!" I told him he was not allowed to say this phrase not realizing there are different contexts in where this phrase is okay to say. Such as, "Luke, I don't care if Jo is allowed to throw toys, we don't in our house." Luke immediately corrects me and says, "Mommy, you said I don't care and you need to say sorry!" </li>
</ul>
<br />
Some annoying things: We are in the phase of, "But why?" for I feel like everything. It's driving me mad! Even when I explain why he says, "but why"? Whew, some patience is what I've been taught. Another is, asking the same thing over and over and over and over and over again! This is the worst. I have a broken record with me literally the entire day. It really does drive you crazy. We're working on trying to teach and correct but it's not going as quickly as I would like for it to go:)<br />
<br />
Here is our big boy off to his first day...well, lets be honest his second day of school. Dave wasn't around the first day and I wasn't about trying to juggle first day jitters, Kate and trying to take pictures of a kid who doesn't like taking pictures:) of school. He was such a big boy, a little hesitant at first and then as soon as his foot hit the threshold of his class he was off and didn't turn back.<br />
<br />
We love this little guy so much and smother him with kisses and hugs a million times a day. He is a one of a kind.<br />
<br />
SIDE NOTE: I think it's pretty clear as to why I may not be the best teacher. I realized as I was uploading the photos I misspelled Preschool! How embarrassing. It never fails. Here they are anyways....:)<br />

And this is just a random day of walking to class. They like to hold hands and Kate likes to go into his class. They give each other hugs and kisses and say goodbye before they leave. It's too cute!</div>

Our bright and cheery, full of life little girl needed a bright and cheery party that was sprinkled with love. We had lots of fun celebrating with friends and family.<br />
<br />
I couldn't resist getting a 'little' carried away with decorating. Making it a brunch gave me a lot of fun and easy food ideas {ice cream cone yogurt parfaits and sprinkled donuts, being the favorites}. The sand box was a last minute idea and thank goodness, it was a huge hit for the toddlers.<br />
<br />
Luke was really excited about the big day. He talked about it for several weeks, always mentioning the cupcakes of course;). I enjoyed watching him be a huge helper the night before. He helped with the party favors and setting up the utensils, plates and napkins. I could tell he was really proud of his work.<br />
<br />
Katelyn greeted a lot of her guests with open mouth kisses, it's one of her favorite things to do. She had her first taste of cake. This is always the moment that most wonder if the kid will just dive in head first. Well, her reaction was just the same as Luke's first cake, no interest at all. It took me putting some on her lips for her to do a double take and go back for more. She only had a couple nibbles. Luke, on the other hand enjoyed smashing it for her;). She had a lot of fun opening presents and has been having so much fun playing with all of them.<br />
<br />
Katelyn, you are spunky, sweet yet feisty, silly and giggly. You brighten each and every day. Our prayer for you is that you grow in God's truths and know that your true beauty and 'self worth' comes from Him and Him alone. That your rescuer is Jesus Christ. That you will shine so much light into this world that others will see the love of Christ in you. We pray the "truth will set you free" John 8:32 and that you will walk in delight and dignity in Him. That you will know you are perfect the way you are, in all your beauty and femininity, for that is how your Creator made you, in His Image. And most importantly, that you know how much we love you but how much <i>more</i> your heavenly Father loves you.<br />
<br />

This was a whirlwind of a year! It feels like only yesterday when we met this sweet little girl for the first time in the hospital. Our hearts grew bigger, which was hard to believe after we felt so much love with our first born. It’s hard to believe it’s been one year since we wondered what she’d look like and what she would BE like. Never would I have imagined THIS. We love her so much and she filled a spot in this family no one will ever be able to fill. It’s filled perfectly for her. With her being born we’ve seen our son become an amazing big brother. He has filled those shoes with such pride. Her smile and outgoing personality lights up every room she enters. Your Daddy said it well, "Today I wish you beauty like the moon on a warm southern evening reflecting the light and warmth of the sun wherever it is among the stars! It's God alone that makes us beautiful by reflecting himself off us if we let Him. My wish for you is that you find your true beauty in Him alone." We love you so much Katelyn, Happy Birthday!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
Here is what you’ve been up to this month</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px;">
<ul>
<li>You had three more teeth come in this month! </li>
<li>You love to talk and squeal. I say this every month but it’s true!</li>
<li>You are getting stronger with walking and standing alone. Maybe in the next month or two you’ll start walking.</li>
<li>You love to sort and put toys in buckets. You even help put toys away.</li>
<li>You get feisty. When toys are taken from you or I pick you up when you’re not ready you pull or scratch and make protesting noises.</li>
<li>You love to be chased and you’ll quickly find something to hide into, usually a blanket or your chair.</li>
<li>You love bath time. In fact, sometimes I just want to skip it at the end of the day and as we walk upstairs you say, “Ba.” That’s of course too hard to resist, so you get your bath:).</li>
<li>You give the best hugs and kisses</li>
<li>You’ve been very cuddly lately</li>
<li>You wave and say, ‘buh-bye’</li>
<li>When you wake up in the morning Luke says, ‘Good morning little princess!’</li>
<li>You are spunky</li>
<li>You have been a great traveler. We took another trip to Florida and you were pretty content in your carseat. </li>
<li>You loved playing in the sand at the beach. Playing with the buckets, sand and water was keeping you busy for hours!</li>
<li>You like to crawl into pillows and roll around.</li>
<li>You love stuffed animals and you like to eat their faces:)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And lastly, our final monthly photo session {tear}. Can't believe it's been a year!</div>
