15 Months Old

Yes I know. I have been MIA for the last little while.
Abi has grown up so much since the last time I posted on the blog.  She is now 15 months old!
She almost weighs 16 lbs. She still wears 6-9, and some 12 month clothes. She still fits into some clothes marked 3 month!
Our biggest milestone this last month was walking.  She's been walking for 2 weeks now.  With walking came awful tantrums.  She has decided that this gets my attention along with head banging. We are going to stop that really quick.  This is when good parenting really comes into play so I have been doing some research but found with her that leaving the room and ignoring the tantrum works best. When she is done with her tantrum I act as if nothing happened at all. This is a trial and I will see if I can find a better way. I am open to any suggestions.
Abi has learned some new words. She says....momma, dadda, baby, tank, bird, duck, thanks and all done.
She loves climbing the stairs, horses, bouncing a ball, Tank, airplaines, birds, putting on "pretty" (chapstick), laundry (putting clothes in and out of the laundry basket),  her stroller, and just being outside.
Her favorite foods are chili, carnation goodstart, PB Cherios, yogurt, chips, noodles, fries, and chicken nuggets.
She hates her clothes and diapers, shoes.
We are still nursing, she is eating better and now drinking from juice boxes and water bottles with the pop top so I'm hoping to wean her soon. She still is not eating as we would like so this may be a challenge.
Here are some pictures from this past month....

Gardener Village...






 This one is a very cute moment I captured between Abi and Tank when I opened the blinds. :) Love!
First trip to the Zoo. I think she loved watching all of the little kids more than the animals. She and Brynley are going to be such good pals.


 My nieces and nephews and Bryn at the zoo.

My sister in law, Rachel and the kids on the train. I think Abi got a bit scared.


 Abi loves her chocolate!

Abi's second hair cut. We had to fix a bang situation :) Oh Matt.  Lol.
I will allways request this lady. She did such a great job and just look how it turned out.
                                      


 I think Abi knew she totally looked adorable! Just look at these faces.

                                     
 I love the fluffy look.
                                                   


 This top is a 3 month top! :)

Oh yes and she still just has two teeth.
Fun fun fun!

Tayson's here!

Welcome to the world baby Tayson. Click, flash, click!

I am so excited to show my little nephew off! I just knew he was going to be handsome! I couldn't wait to get my hands on him.
And either could Abi.







Candice looked so good. I heard the labor went well. She only had a few contractions before the epidural kicked in. Lucky! She also didn't even really push. He was ready to see the world. No pushing necessary.





I love this picture.











Better Late than Never: Candice's baby shower

Yes. I know. I'm late. Candice has had Tayson already but I wanted to post some pictures of the shower we threw for her. I love the colors brown and blue for a boy. These pompoms are fun to make and brings a pop to the party.
Here is Ceryn digging into the non-sweet section.


It's pretty much the same set up as Abi's party but hey why not? Chocolate fountains are so much fun!


I just love Candice's Family! They are so nice and so much fun to be around.
Every baby shower should be required to play the poopy diaper game. It's fun to watch grown women smelling, dissecting and even tasting something inside a diaper. :)




Abi and Cambria had a fun time poking, prodding, and even head-butting each other. Soon they will play together and understand the meaning of sharing hopefully. They are so cute together. Little buddies. I can't wait to get a photo of them holding hands. :)



Candice got lots of fun goodies....

A bouncer from Ceryn...
baby sling...
blanket...
toys...
My moms special handmade goodies...







Cute clothes...


and Natalie made this cute wipe case. How fun is that?!
Ceryn was entertaining the kiddos. She going to be the greatest mom.
More cute clothes...

It turned out great. We had fun!
