Halloween 2009

This year for Halloween Skylar dressed up as a ballerina, Ryanne was a frog and for Kaylee's 1st Halloween she was a zebra. We finished up with Skylar's birthday party and headed to trick-or-treat with Aunt Lindsey, Uncle Jason, Dallas, Landry, Ashley, Aaron, Bailey, Autin, Howard, Shannon, and Anna.We went to the southwind subdivision and trick-or-treated until we were all tired and wore out. Kaylee just mainly went for a ride. Ryanne really started to get the hang of it and would even try to say trick-or-treat at the doors. Ryanne didn't want to ride she wanted to walk like the big kids so she wore daddy out. Jeremy took Ryanne to all the doors and carried her to catch up with everyone. Ryanne had tons of fun. Skylar, Bailey,Dallas and Landry were running from house to house they were hard to keep up with because they really wanted to get some candy and had tons of fun. After trick-or-treating on the way home Ryanne crashed so when we got home everyone got ready for bed and we called it a night.

Skylar's 5th Birthday Party

We celebrated Skylar's 5th birthday on Halloween this year because she wanted to have a costume party. She got to pick her cake and of coarse just like every year she had to have a horse cake,however I was given some really specific instructions this year. The horse had to be orange and had to have purple hair and it also had to have some candy on it rear end. I believe this was suppose to look like the Halloween my little pony that we saw in the store. Skylar had lots of fun playing with everyone. She has been taking lots of pictures with my camera so her Aunt Marcy bought her a digital camera of her own she absolutely loves it. She also got a light bright, polly pocket, and puzzles along with some clothes. Mimi and Papaw bought her some really cute boots that she has worn everyday since. Skylar also wanted a down vest. She got a really cute silver one.She has also been asking for roller skates Pop and Grammie got her a pair so now I get to teach her how to skate. Good thing I still have my roller blades so I can skate with her. Here are some pictures from the party.

Kaylee's 1 month Check up

I can't believe our little girl is already a 1 month old. She went to see the dr today for her one month check up. She now weighs 8lbs 6ozs and is 20 1/4 inches long. She is gaining weight well and everything looks good. We are getting 6 to 8 hours of sleep a night in on stretch. She sleeps 3 to 4 hours during the day. We are getting a little tummy time while Ryanne is taking her naps. Skylar has really adjusted well and loves to hold and cuddle with Kaylee. Ryanne loves her little sister so much she doesn't realize that she is being to rough with Kaylee at times we have to let her know to be easy. I am having a hard time believing it is almost time for me to go back to work. Kaylee goes back to the dr on Nov. 23rd for her 2 month check up and her shots.

Pumpkin Patch

Since we had such a nice weekend this past weekend. I took the girls to the pumpkin patch. We went with Aunt Lindsey, Dallas and Landry, Mr. Davis (Aunt Lindsey's dad),Ashley(Aunt Lindsey's sister), Bailey and Austin. We spent the afteroon out there and all the kids had a great time playing on the swingsets and running through the hay tunnels. We took some pictures and then we picked out pumpkins and came home. This was Kaylee's first Pumpkin Patch trip she slept through most of it but we got some cute pictures of all the kids. here are a few pictures from our day.

Kaylee 3 wk weight check

I took Kaylee to the Dr Monday October 12Th for a weight check. We got a 7:50am appointment because I wanted to be in and out of there before anyone else arrived. Kaylee is eating about every 4 hours now and sometimes at night she will go for 6 hours. She is gaining weight she was 7lbs 14ozs. We go back for a one month check up on October 21st at 9:50am. Skylar is doing great with her baby sister she wants to be in the same room with Kaylee all the time just in case she wakes up. She always wants to hold her especially when there is someone here to see Kaylee she wants to hold her instead of sharing her with our visitors. Ryanne is still trying to adjust to having a little sister. She will kiss on her and give her hugs and she even likes to hold her. She also likes to poke her in the eye and hold the cell phone up to Kaylee's ear so she can talk on the phone. Ryanne is a big fan of sitting in Kaylee's swing and stealing Kaylee's passy and putting it in her mouth.

Kaylee Update

Kaylee went to the doctor for her newborn check up on Monday September 28th. She was already up to 7lbs 6ozs. The dr was very impressed because she said most breastfed babies don't gain there weight back that quick. When we left the hospital on Friday September 25th she was down to 7lbs 2ozs. On Sept. 28th the rest of her check up went great. They wanted to see her back on October 5th for a weight check. So I asked them to schedule me as early as possible so we could get in and out without being exposed to a whole bunch of stuff. We went in at 8:30am and Kaylee weighed 7lbs 8 1/2ozs. We get to go back again on Monday, October 12th at 7:50am this appointment is also to have her weight checked again. Skylar Grace has been so helpful she loves holding and cuddling with Kaylee. Ryanne Mackenzie is also loving on her and wants to hold her as well.
