Happy 60th Birthday Mom! (don't shoot me)

Today is Mom's 60th Birthday, and although she hates her picture to be taken, here is a little glimpse of the past 60 years. Happy Birthday Mom, we love you, you are a great mom and an awesome grammie. I know we don't tell you enough but we love and appreciate you more than you will ever know.

Camden singing

Now that Camden is a talker he doesn't stop. This boy loves to sing though, and will preform almost anywhere.

This ones for you Shanna

Our niece Shanna really likes seeing Camden video so this is for you Shanna, Camden and his version of the ABC's

16 pounds and 2 shots later

Ainsley had her 9 month well check and did what I thought and weighed in at 16 pounds, and 27 inches long. So she is shorter than the boys were but not by much and a lot less in weight. So much so that we have to go back in 3 weeks for a weight check. I never thought I would have a little one after how big the boys were. I am so out of my element. Anyways Ainsley is a healthy little peanut that has now learned to climb stairs, whats next, I can only imagine. We are taking bets on when she is going to walk. At the rate she is at now, it could be any day.

Update on Camden, day 20 of being a big boy, still no accidents. Yeah Camden!

9 Months

I just can't believe that today Ainsley is 9 months old, where has the time gone. So far Ainsley has no teeth, but that is no surprise, is crawling anywhere she wants to go, is cruising around the furniture when things are just out of reach, is climbing up at least one step, is still refusing a bottle, but eating solids pretty good although she still doesn't like dinners. Ainsley is such a mommy's girl, and a girly girl. She loves her shoes, bows and clothes, they are her favorite toys too. Ainsley goes for her check-up this week, but as of the other day she is weighing in at a little 16 pounds. To compare, the boys were 16 pounds at 4.5 months.

Our Little Talker

Talking is a new thing for Camden, he can never get a word in when Bracken is home, Bracken is our talker. Since Bracken has been in school everyday Camden has really come into his own, and now I have two talkers/singers/nonstop chatterers. Camden loves to sing, when he has nothing else to say. Here is Camden's version of Old Mac Donald.

Little Bill, Oh I mean Camden!

Camden is really liking being a Big Kid. We are in day 13 and still dry all night. Since becoming potty trained, Camden has been walking around the house singing a song he learned from watching Little Bill, it is pretty darn cute. Hope you enjoy.

Here is a funny

You all may not find this as humorous as me and I will probably get in trouble for posting this but it was just down right funny. The other night Matt and I were sitting watching 24 and Willow was outside going crazy at the BBQ. Matt goes out there to see what the deal was and all I could imagine was the Skunk all over again. Matt gets to the BBQ and sees nothing so he opens up the BBQ and there in all its glory was a rat. I will not say what Matt did next but you can guess, lets just say it was dancing. Matt closed the lid and came back inside only to go check on it a little later and when he did, it was gone. I think that rat is going to come back and haunt him soon enough. Needless to say, Matt will be spending his weekend cleaning before cooking again.

Our Picky Eater

So everyone that knows or have even met Bracken has experienced how picky this kid is at eating. So picky that he ate jar baby food until he was 3 because he didn't like to chew, we now know why, it is because chewing take so so long. In that past 2 years he has had the usual toddler food, hot dog, chicken nuggets, french fries, Mac & Cheese, and struggled to finish any meal. On to 2009, Bracken now tries most foods, like tacos, quesadillas, hamburgers (In n Out), burritos, and get this Sushi. Bracken begged us the other night to let him try what we were eating. So now we can add California rolls to his favorite. Not only is he eating more things, he is finishing his plate and asking for more, too bad it still takes him just about if not longer than an hour to eat. Must be all that chewing!

Happy New Year

Okay so it has been a busy 2009 already and it is only day 2 of the new year. To start it off Camden is a big kid now. Yes that is right Camden is officially potty trained, and let me just say if I though Bracken was easy Camden was even better. He made it through the night last night no accidents and today figured out how to put the poop in the potty. He even made the trip down to Beverly Hills and back today with out any accidents, and that included falling asleep in the car. Yeh Camden! So today it was Bracken's turn for firsts. First day of his new glasses, so far so good, he isn't complaining yet. Hopefully it stays that way. So here's to my little boys who are getting bigger every day, and just so Ainsley isn't left out hers to Ainsley cruising around the table. Happy New Year everyone, it looks to be an eventful one in our hose so stay tuned.

New Years Eve

This year for New Years Eve, Matt and I got to go down for the night to Long Beach and go to a murder mystery dinner with Becky (T) and a group of her friends. It was the first time leaving Ainsley over night. Grammie and Pop spent the night and watched the kids at our house, and survived. Even Ainsley who refused all bottles survived without hysterics thanks to Grammie feeding her her cereal, fruits and veggies. Anyways Matt and I had a wonderful time away. What a great start to the New Year! Thanks Mom and Dad.
