Well, I am just posting a blog I wrote back in January! Haha. NOW, my Son is 4, my daughter is 16 months and I am turning 25 tomorrow! Life just keeps passing faster and faster!
Let's see...
Ian is so smart he impresses me most of the time! He can sound out some basic words and count to ehhh 15 haha. He starts jumping numbers after that. But, he does simple addition and subtraction and learned how to count by two's by himself! Not the typical 2,4,6,8 though. He has asked me how to count by two's out of curiosity a few times and I counted just like that. Well, about a month later he comes to me and says, "hey Mom, I can count by two's!" I say, "wow, you can? Let me hear!". To which he starts "1" and I giggle a bit in my head... He continues, "3... 5..." I am thinking what?!? where did he pick this up?? "7... 9... 11..." At this point I shout out "Wow!! That is excellent work! Where did you learn that??" In typical Ian fashion he replies "I just already knew". Haha I love this boy!
Victor and I both agree he should be in a play! His facial expressions and "dance moves" are one of a kind. I love it the most when he sings along to a song on the radio or itunes he's never heard before. This kid is full of life and energy and EMOTIONS! He is definitely one to fly by every emotion he feels and in a toddler's day that is a lot of emotions! But, even though I get pooped from the emotional roller coaster we take, I love the funny moments and sweet moments. For instance, we had a bathroom cleaning day a couple weeks ago and I was having Ian help me scrub around the toilets, sinks, floors etc... and as we are spraying and scrubbing pee that has made it to places that shouldn't be possible, he turns to me, puts his hand on my shoulder and says "You're a good Mommy, I love you." Now, if that doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what would!
Kayleigh... oooh my sweet screaming bundle of girliness! Everyone talks about the volume and decibel level little girls can hit... They weren't kidding!! Ian is such a loud kid and always was as a baby too, I though it doesn't get much louder than him. Think again! My girl can hit levels that can shatter glass! Haha. If her brother is blocking her way, getting too close to her toys or sometimes if she is just REALLY happy, PUT IN YOUR EARPLUGS! I now understand what people have said in the past about little girls volume levels :)
The biggest changes with my girl in the last few months are finally some more words, NO ear infections since seeing her chiropractor, and really seeing her personality come to life! She says, "eat", "baba", "Daddy", "Mommy", "baby", "cheese", "stad"(outside), "Hi-ee" (hi), "ny-ny" (night night)... That's all I can think of that she uses regularly.
She loves being outside, going down slides and being pushed in the swings! This girl is much like her brother and has no fear! I think we have 2 definite future roller coaster riders in our house! She is also finally growing more hair! It's still not much, but it doesn't stop me from doing pigtails and putting bows in her hair....

Kayleigh Turned One!
Well, I am late as usual, but on Thanksgiving Kayleigh turned one! The time is going too fast as usual and i officially have a toddler in the house again.
She took her first steps barely a month prior to turning one, almost the exact same age as Ian did as a baby. She has learned to throw full blown tantrums almost 2 months earlier than Ian did though... Can't say I'm excited about that milestone... Her newest thing this month has been giving kisses to everyone and her baby dolls.
The only words she says right now are "dada", "mama", "this", "that", "uh-oh", "ow", and "Titus" (pronounced "tice"). She has been saying "dough" a lot the past few days, but I can't figure out if it is corresponded to anything.
Her hair is long enough to put in pig tails in the back and it is nothing less than adorable! Now, I have always said I wanted her to have soft curly hair and well, she gets one to two soft curls right in the back of her neck! The hair behind her ears is straight and everywhere else, but I'm cherishing her too adorable curls she does have!
Sometime in the last month she has popped through three of her 4 molars without me knowing it! I knew she was teething due to restless nights and serious finger chewing, but I didn't expect to find all those molars when I stuck my finger back there a couple weeks ago!
She had a party the week before Thankgiving and got lots of girly toys! Seems so weird to have baby dolls and tea sets around, not just cars, balls and guns. Bring on the tutu's and princess stuff, I'm ready for all this girls stuff! At her party she she barely ate her cupcake or pumpkin pie... She just kept poking them. Lots of people showed up to celebrate this sweet girl's birthday and it was a fun time.
Enjoy the pictures from her party and a few other random ones.

October Fun!
Well... it has been WAY too long since I have blogged about anything. But, my In-Laws are officially back in Arizona today for the next 5-6 months and this is one of the only ways they see updated pictures of the kids, so I need to get back with it! These aren't new photos, just what I have from October. (mainly Halloween)
Can I just say I had the cutest calf ever and one adorable spider man too! We went trick or treating at Grandma and Grandpa's First and then went over to our friend's house to trick or treat in their neighborhood. Ian and Maika had a blast and got a ton of candy! Well, I am not the biggest fan of candy for my 3 year old and especially in the volume that you collect it on Halloween, SO I came up with a new plan starting this year. We had the Pumpkin Fairy visit Ian this year, she is a very nice fairy who asks certain little boys and girls for help on Halloween night. Her town is made from candy and she needs help to build her town from the boys and girls who got so much candy while trick or treating. She is a very nice fairy though and will exchange you a very neat surprise for your help. Ian was allowed to pick his 10 favorite pieces and then we left his bucket at the end of his bed for the Pumpkin Fairy to pick up. Well, she was VERY nice and left Ian a Cars 2 spy airplane! He was absolutely thrilled the following morning and still had candy to munch on later that day, so it was a win - win situation in our house!
Anyways, I hope to keep blogging up to date for while!
