Walking, Working and Wonderful Days

Hanging at the park.

Cambry loving the park on this gorgeous day.

You ever wonder why people have tennis balls hanging in their garage. This is why. So they do not crash into the house like I did. OPPS!!!!

Celebrating Addisyn 1/2 birthday our latest tradition.

Now that is one cool 2 year old.

Cambry is such a cutie pie

Addisyn in her rain gear and finally a smile.

My new door and my massage, my Valentines gifts. Although the door was not from Brady our great friend Derek. ;)

Mommy and the girls

That sums us up lately. Cambry is now 80% walker and 20% crawler. She tries to walk but if she falls she will just stay down and crawl. Every week she get better. You can see Addisyn cut her off when she was trying to walk. Of course Addisyn wants to how us how she can do it as well.

I started working for my friends company which run bootcamp classes(work out classes). I am teaching right now on Thursday at an elementary school to a group of teachers and then come April I will be teaching on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 7:30. It is stepping out of my comfort zone but I am really liking it. I am also getting a work out as well. An added bonus and I want to watch what I eat so when they see me are not like, "practice what you preach" type of thing. I also watch a little boy over here on Wednesday. His name is Brady and he is 16 months. He is so great. Just an amazing happy little boy. I am lucky to have found him. His mom is a nutritionist so I am learning some from her as well. I keep getting all these messages to start taking better care of myself. Maybe it is a sign.
So, wonderful days as in wonderful weather. Fun activities with the girls as they are getting older and we can do fun outings. That is what I love about my jobs. I can still do plenty of fun things with my girls.
Addisyn is doing wonderful with potty training. Can say her ABC's and count to 13. Knows her colors, shapes and we are now working on letter sounds and recognizing the letters. She will start pre-school next year 2 days a week. I think she is on track.
As for Cambry not too much since her last 10 month update, although I will be updating next week cause she will be 11 months so crazy. I am trying to see if I want to have a big party for her or just family. I need to get on that though.

Double Digits 10 months

(She was not happy on her blanket and stuffed animal picture)
Ok so I am a bit late but Cambry turned 10 months. She is so amazing. Here are a few of the things she is doing now.

*Has 6 teeth.
*Walks and takes about 5-10 steps. She tries and walking if it is a close range but if it is far she just drops down and crawls.
*Loves to do the "How big is Cambry"
* Says the normal "Mama" "Baba" "Dada"
* This is the most impressing thing to me is she can climb up the slide and go down it all by herself!!! I think that is very crazy and impressive.
*Goes to be at 8 and wakes up at 4:30 to eat and then awake at 6:45 for the day.
*Naps at 9:30 and 2.
*Her favorite toy is the Mardi Gras beads that she can put on and take off her self.
* Has piggie tails that are as big as Addisyn's!!!!
*Still hates the car!
*Gets the happiest baby award every time I pick her up from church. They all just love her cause she is so happy.
*Eats everything we eat. She does not really dig baby food but will eat all her fruits and veggies with us.

Well that is about all I can think of now. She is a cutie pie and growing up so fast. She definitely seems like a mature 10 month old.

Videos of the Girls

Here are a couple videos of Cambry talking and learning to explore and Addisyn playing her favorite game. She has a great imagination.

It's been awhile so be prepared

Cambry loves the bouncy tent.

Her animals have to eat to don't you know. She is so silly

They love to eat together.

We finally found a Wii Fit and Addisyn loves it.

So I warned you there were a lot. I just love the all. We have been doing pretty good over here. Cambry has not more ear infection which is great. We have been having amazing weather and have been walking our dogs which they love and the girls love too. Playing outside and going to the park. Yes these are the days that I have always dreamed of.
You may have noticed Brady wearing glasses. He is getting LASIK is a few weeks. I am so excited for him. He used to wear his contacts for like 3 months straight yes months.
As for Addisyn, she is such a ham. We had a Super Bowl party over here last night and Addisyn just loves men. She would go and snuggle with all the men and sit on there laps and talk to them. Not one lady. That is so strange to me. I don't know maybe all kids are like that. It is so funny though. She is also really into playing with ponies, dolls, hands, anything and going up and saying, "What's your name? Oh I like your shoes, hair, skin, etc." It is really funny and cute. She could do that all day long. Us on the hand. I love hearing Brady saying "Oh thanks, I love your shoes."
Cambry is just thriving in speach and motor skills and growing hair. She is starting to figure out different toys and knows that the phone goes to your ear and what not. She is also so great at church. We are there on Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weeks and everytime they say she gets the happy baby award. She loves it there. Never cries when we leave.
That is it for now. Girls are wanting to play!!!!

Today's the big day!!

Addisyn doing her work with her really
neat TAG pen from Aunt. It reads the page
and pictures. She loves it.

Love to play the "night night" game

Finally a smile

Have to do everything together

Loves to pull down the books

Whether you like it or not, today is the day for Obama to take office. We had such a great church service this weekend. Because it all said and done and all we can do is pray for our new President to make wise choices for our country and help us with this disaster we currently have going on. People are losing jobs left and right(thank goodness our boss is my father in law), wars with people having to leave their families for an extended period of time and losing their lives, the huge amount of debt we are in as a country. Just to name a few, I am sure you all know the rest.
My point is lets just pray for Obama to be a great listener from God, hope he makes the right choices for our country.
On other news, I added a few pics of my girls. We have been having potty training issues over here. Addisyn had a lot of accidents yesterday. Ugh and I just was raving about her. That's ok. Doing better today. Cambry was up last night vomiting and I was up with a sore throat and stuffy nose. Fun times.
Go Obama or as Addisyn says Go Mama. LOL

Update

So Addisyn is potty trained. She wears a diaper at night and naptime but most of the time when she wakes up it is dry. We went to the dr this morning and MOPS and she told the teacher she had to go and no accidents that whole 2 and 1/2 hours. Great job Addisyn.

Cambry had her 9 month check-up today and weighted in at a whopping 18 lbs 8 ounces. She was 26 1/2 inches long . So she was 50% for weight, 25% for length and 50% for head. Pretty good. She had gained 2 pounds since the last time we were there and she had lost 1/2 pound and scared me. So she is doing great. Except both kids had a double ear infection. Cambry's one ear was really bad and Addisyn's were just infected but not too bad since she did not tell me. So anti-botics here we come.

They are doing great though. I am so proud of Addisyn and can not believe how easy it was to potty train her.

Have a great weekend and stay warm!!!

Potty Training Central

"Mom Seriously" face(note how she likes to have all the ponies watch her)

Her Cute Little Back Side

Enjoying Cake after her 1st time to go on the potty

We are going strong over here potty training. We started Saturday afternoon since I finally found My Little Pony underwear. She told me when we got them for her she would wear them. Did I believe her, kind of! You just never know. So I finally found some on Saturday afternoon and when we got home she wanted to put them on. We went through all 3 in 30 minutes. So when we got home from Church that night we tried again and she went a couple of times on the potty. I was putting her on every 10 minutes. Sunday she was better. She went on the potty about 10 times total from today and yesterday. I have no ideas if I am doing this completely right but who does. All I know is it is 11 AM and she has not had an accident. I am proud of my BIG GIRL.

So as I was typing this, we just had a break through. She just told me she had to go and really went. This is the 1st time. We are making progress.
Thanks to Kristen(on my blog roll) for the great potty seat and for telling me what she did with her girls.
Thanks to Bre'anna(on my blog roll too) for motivating me. She is potty training her 14 month old. Truly amazing.

Cambry turns 9 months old

Eating Banana
Little pig tails

My sweet little pea turned 9 months today. This was a big month for us. Cambry started a lot of tricks:
*Eating solid foods(peas, watermelon,rolls,goldfish, cheerios,baby chese puffs,strawberries,bananas, corn)
*Standing alone
*Waving
*Saying MaMa
*Clapping
*Playing with friends(Cora who is 11 days older)
*Walking behind a push toy
*Little piggy tails
I write these down to also remind me.
She is just a super amazing sweet girl. She is for the most part pretty happy. She loves to watch Addisyn still and wants to play and do what she does all the time. Pretty typical I am sure.
I am thinking the next time I post for 10 months she will be walking. We go to the dr. sometime this week or next. I will let you know what they say and how they are doing. For the most part her hemangioma is gone. I do not ever see it. It is there but barely. I am so excited. I look back and remember how scared and fearful I was of how it was going to grow but I should have just left it to God(which I eventally did after worrying myself half to death) and it turned out perfect. I thank him everyday for that blessing.

Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful, busy, exciting Christmas. I think Cambry had a great first Christmas. Addisyn had a wonderful Christmas and her favorite present was having her cousins in town. She loves them so much and they adore her. It is truly a sight to see.
Happy New Year. May it be blessed and wonderful.
