Carlie's 4 month Stats!

Carlie had her 4 month well check yesterday and we found out what we already know......she is chunky! Although plump, the doctor seems to think she is doing very well and told us to just keep doing what we're doing. We couldn't ask for a sweeter baby so I think we'll take his advice!

Weight- 17.22 lbs (95 %tile)
Length- 25.28 in (73 %tile)
Head - 16.75 in (90 %tile)

I was trying to find Sadie's stats at 4 months but only found her 6 month. Sadie weighed 18 pounds at 6 months so.....I think Carlie has her beat!

Twins!

Carlie's Bumbo!

I finally broke down and bought Carlie a Bumbo. These became VERY popular when Sadie was born but I never found the need for one....maybe because I chose to hold her at all times. Carlie however, does not have the luxury of mom holding her all the time since Sadie requires too much attention. I get sad to see her laying on her play mat all day long...so this way, she can be upright and part of the action! She seems to really like this new perspective on life. Her neck muscles only allow her a few minutes at a time, but I'm glad I got it and I can now see what all the fuss was about!

Seriously!!! Couldn't you just eat her? So darn cute!

2 Year Stats!

Sadie had her 2 Year well check on November 9th. She is a very healthy and happy kid. Her vocabulary is above average and her height continues to be above average. The doctor said if she had to guess....Sadie will be about 5' 9 " or 5' 10"! Wow! I'm not sure where those genes come from.

Here are her stats:

Weight - 28.44 lbs (79%tile)
Height - 35.25 in (85%tile)
BMI- 16.09 (40%tile)

Sadie's Second Birthday!

Sadie turned 2 on November 6th. We had a Princess Party because she has been really into Princess movies lately. It was fun to get the house all decorated and we were sure to have a TON of balloons since those are her favorite things! Lets be honest...who needs presents when you have balloons?

Grandma B., Aunt Tami, Whitney, Aunt Rachelle, Uncle John, Jessica and Michael all came over for the celebration. Sadie opened her presents and then dived into her cake. She got a doll house and Snow White movie from mom and dad and Grandma furnished the doll house, Aunt Tami gave her an Aqua Doodle mat, and Aunt Rachelle gave her a really cute outfit.

It was a fun night but I must admit...it is true what they say about the terrible twos.....they kicked in that night and haven't left!

Sadie's favorite thing about the dollhouse is of course....the toilet.

Blowing out the candles

Mmmmm....chocolate. That's the face mommy gets when she eats chocolate too!

Halloween!

Halloween was quite eventful this year. Last year was MUCH simpler with one who couldn't really do much but sit in her stroller and enjoy the attention. This year...with a two year old, it was a whole different story, but we survived. Sadie was a very cute Minnie Mouse and Carlie was a very cute...plump....strawberry. After getting all dressed up we headed over to the church for the trunk or treat event. I don't think Sadie really got the concept down...I got her to say "trick or treat" once and "thank you" maybe 3 times, we'll keep working on it. She was mostly fascinated that her mom was letting her eat two suckers at once. Anything to keep the peace!

I've never seen a cuter Minnie Mouse
The first of many treats that night! Sugar overload!

This is Sadie's friend Kade...it was fun watching Superman and Minnie Mouse walk off into the sunset together.

She was a very good sport!

Matching Jammies!

Sadie and Carlie have matching pajama's and I just had to get some pictures of them together in them. My favorite part of the night....clean girls in cute jammies!

Sister's and friends

Oops!

Last night dad and I went Birthday shopping for Sadie and had Aunt Rachelle watch the girls. When we got home I went to give Carlie a bath and thought to myself...."wow, Carlie is really wet - her diaper is sagging." Well, once I undressed her I realized that her diaper was perfectly dry and that Aunt Rachelle had put one of Sadie's diapers on her. Size 5 versus size 2 -Oops! HAHAHA!

"Quit laughing at me!"
Miss saggy drawers!

What A Blessing!!!

It had to end....maternity leave is over and I returned to work last Monday. I'm trying to work 3 days and longer shifts which means that I don't get home until about midnight on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. I was worried because Carlie wasn't sleeping through the night and I wasn't sure if my body could take the lack of sleep. Well, miracles happen, starting last weekend Carlie has consistently slept through the night - she has been waking up at 7:30 and we try to get her down around 8:00 or 8:30....could we ask for more??? This has been such a blessing. Sadie did the same thing when I returned to work after having her, we definitely have been blessed with incredible girls! Not sure what we did to deserve them!

These were taken when I got home from work last night around 1 am.....so sweet.

Lagoon!

Sadie had her first trip to Lagoon. We left Carlie home with Grandma and just had a night out with Sadie, it was nice to give her our undivided attention again. Every year Nu Skin has their summer party at Lagoon. It is so nice because they rent out the entire park for the night and it is just employees and their family and friends.....no lines and no scary people. HAHA! She had a blast! She would cry after every ride because she didn't want to get off! We spent quite awhile there and then headed home, she was exhausted. I can't wait to take her back next year!

2 Month Stats!

Carlie had her 2 month well baby check up on September 22nd. Dr. Later walked in and said, "Well, she looks to be a good eater." That is the truth. She is cute and chunky and we wouldn't have her any other way!

She recently found her voice and will jabber away, mostly when she is sleepy. She is the most smiley baby I've ever seen, every time you look at her she gives you a smile that will melt your heart. To top it off she sleeps through the night most of the time. Occasionally she will wake up once but other than that she sleeps from about 8:00 to 5:00 every night. We have been extremely lucky to have two good natured babies.....we should probably quit while we're ahead!

Here are her stats:

Weight: 12.7 lbs (92 %tile)
Length: 22.1 in (40 %tile)
Head: 15.5 in (68 %tile)

Short and round.....just the way we like them!
