Ladybug Birthday

My little girl turned 3 on Monday. I can hardly believe it! Took the kiddos to the doctor for their check ups and the doctor was so pleased with both! She was so impressed with Suzie's walking and language skills. Suzie weighed 26 lbs 2 oz (10th percentile) and is 36 inches (25th percentile). Sawyer is also developing wonderfully and weighs 16 lbs 6 oz and is 26 inches 75th percentile for both) at 4 months old.

We had a ladybug birthday party for Suzie. Granddad, Nana, and Auntie Debra were all here to celebrate! Here are some pictures of her fun day:

She looked a little like a ladybug in her cute polka dot dress!
I saw some pictures online and was able to make her three ladybug cakes! Unfortunately, she was a little afraid of them. She loved them, but thought the legs made them look a little spidery. She also burst into tears when everyone sang, "Happy Birthday":)


So tired!

Having fun with her friends.
Here are a few other pics of our funny little kiddos.
Poor Sawyer gets his sister's girly hammy-downs:)

A Few Laughs

This is for the family. Sawyer is starting to laugh and I caught a couple little ones on camera:)

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Suzie loves to "read" books. She has such a great memory and is so independent that she likes to read her favorite books all by herself. This video comes in about 1/4 into The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I've only read this one to her a few times but the illustrations on this one are so good, she just improvises:)


And here is our happy little man at 3 1/2 months:

Suzie Sayings and Sawyer Smiles

Okay, so here I am finally posting on our blog! I can't imagine why I haven't had time to do more...:) I did want to post a video of our chunky little man. At his two month appointment he weighed in at 13 lbs. 4 oz...85th percentile! I think he's gained another two pounds in the past three weeks. He is already so big! Sawyer has two moods...super sweet, happy and smiley. And super tired, cranky and screaming. But either way he is such a blessing to us. I decided to post of video of his smiley mood instead of the other:)


Well, our little almost three year old sure is a chatter box! And kids sure say the funniest things! I wanted to record some of the silly things Suzie has said so that I can remember them when she's all grown up. Much of what she says is repeated so her pronouns are often mixed up. And I hope I can remember her sweet little voice because it makes it so much better. Here are the funny little sayings I wrote down, although there are so many more!

"I'm a stinky little boy!"

"I need protein."

"Are you serious???" (She usually shouts this when she is in trouble)

"I did such a good job sleeping!" or "I did such a good job staying in my bed!"

"I have crazy hair!" (she sure does!)

"Babe! You're supposed to turn off the light!"

"I want some guacamole, Mommy"

"I'm so proud of you."

"Ouch! It hurts me!"

"She wants to snuggle, Mommy."

Whenever she falls she says, "I'm sorry."

"I want to see Goliath! He's dead."

"I want to walk by yourself." (little miss independent:)

"Mommy, I'm gassy!"

"Your hair looks so pretty, Mommy."

"Hi Mr. Kyle. Hi Miss Stephanie."

"Can I have a heartbeat?" (she means sweet tart)

"Mommies and Daddies and bears...oh my!"

"She kissed him....eeeewwwww!"

"I want to read The Very Hungry Patagator."

"Your sister loves you, Sawyer!"

While pointing her cute little finger and you, "You stay right there! I be right back."

Suzie: "We have a family!"
Mommy: "Yeah, who is in our family?"
Suzie: "Sawyer."
Mommy: "Yeah, who else?"
Suzie: "Auntie Denise!!!"

Daddy: "What is the Bible?"
Suzie: "God's Word!!"

Daddy: "What are your doctors names?"
Suzie: "Dr. Consor, Dr. Nagy, and Dr. Eisenbaum!" (She says all three of the names perfectly)

Daddy: "Suzie, are you a sinner?"
Suzie: "No, I'm a princess!"

And I'll leave you with a video of her singing...gosh I love that sweet voice:)
