Evelyn begins to eat real food!




Hello there everyone! I'm sorry we haven't posted in a while--life gets busy!! You'll have to check it out this weekend because I'm going to be taking the kids to a petting farm tomorrow, so it should make a pretty great blog entry.





Today Evelyn went to the Doctor's for her 4 month check up and immunizations. Here are her stats: 16 lb 10 oz (92 percentile) 24.5 inches long (45 percentile) and I can't remember the number for her head, I only know it was 98 percentile. whew-whee! She is taking after her brother when he was her age! She did great at the doctors, and I was instructed to really try to start to give her more solids. I've tried once, but later on that day she had HORRIBLE stomach pains (or so I assumed, because she was screaming bloody murder) So, we'll give it another go!

To my fellow readers, do you have any suggestions to this problem:

Bradley still views the highchair as HIS own. Not hers... AT ALL. We've tried having him sit on "big daddy chairs" so on and so forth, which he likes UNTIL we "threaten" him by having Evelyn sit in "His highchair." I tried going to a resale shop to see if there were any mini-highchairs that screw on the table that we could distinguish between "his" and "hers." Unfortunately, there weren't any. Do you have any ideas? The problem is that he still sits in the chair occasionally (ie to do play dough, play with beans, or some other activity that's prone to get messy.) Should I wean him completely from the chair, get another chair, or make him learn the word "share" in his not-yet-two-year-old vocabulary?

See you next time!





I had two sick kids for a while. Bradley had a fever for 5 days! Oh no!




Bradley loves to play with ants

Mega Photo and Video Update

Hello Faithful Visitors!

Sorry it's been so long since the last update. We have some great videos and photos in store for you, however. So the wait has been well worth it.

Bradley is turning into a full-fledged little boy. He enjoys sword fighting, running in puddles, and playing with beans. He will be turning 21 months old in a few days.

Here he is showing off one of his favorite hats from Aunt Connie, and also wearing his Puddle Pants:


He takes bean counting to a whole new level:

Evelyn is such a smiley and happy girl:







Bradley is going through the "cheesy smile" stage. He reminds me of his cousin Derek:




Evelyn is definitely bigger than Bradley was for her age:





NOW ON TO THE VIDEOS!!!

My personal favorite movie of all time:








When Momma tucks Bradley in for a nap or for nu-night, his new thing is to pretend to go to sleep instantly:
