Charli month 9

Baby girl.... Where to begin...I took you to your 9 month check up and you weigh 17 lbs. 8 oz. (25 %) height 29 1/2 inches (97%) head 45 cm(78 %). So basically you are tall and skinny. Your hair is slowly coming in and it is brown. You have blue/ gray eyes. Your toenails are usually painted pink or red. You have 2 teeth on the bottom and working on your upper two front teeth. Probably the most comments we get about you are your eyes and how big and beautiful they are and how you take everything in. The second comment we get is how happy you are. You love new places and seeing new things. We decided you like to be the life of the party. If everyone is quiet you scream really and I mean really Loud and then laugh. Everyone says you are going to be a singer with the set of lungs that you have. I think you are trying to say mama and ball. Go figure your brother loves balls and so do you. You clap your hands and love rising songs. We love to read books, bounce in your bouncer and play trucks with your brother. You eat everything! There is nothing that you will turn down. You still won't crawl but I think you might walk first because you always want to stand. You my girl have been so much fun. I count my blessings every day that you are in my life. Thanks for all the excitement. Love you

Austin 2 year

Austin- you are now 2 years old. These last 2 years have been pretty amazing. I get to spend every day with you and your sister. We have become best of friends. You are my snuggler. I can get a kiss or a hug from you anytime of the days. I love at night when we snuggle and watch movies or read books. That is our time without your sister. You are learning to count... But really you just love the number 2 and you want me to do the rest. You are learning colors, animal sounds and working on your speech. You have added a few words to your vocabulary so we are getting there. You are my silent one kinda like your dad and grandpa Kinsey. You are a thinker. You think before you talk or do something new.. You have to process it all before you get to excited. You are so funny. I wish I would write things down that you do or say because you are always keeping us laughing. You little man are an amazing athlete.. Anything with a ball excites you and you are awesome! You love tractors and going to help dad or grandpa Wilde in the fields. Every sat or sun you take dad outside and make him pull his tool box off the shelf and you two will work on the jeep. Lately my car I have been driving is the jeep because that is the only car you will not throw a fit in. You love it. You and dad like to read jeep magazines together and you make me leave the room so you can have not time. Your a rockstar when it comes to the iPad. You have been teaching your grandma to use it. Your pretty amazing to watch run it. Little man thank you for being my best friend and for all the love you give and show me and our family. We love you .. Happy 2 years buddy!

Austin's second birthday

We celebrated Austin's 2nd birthday on sunday( where did the last 2 years go) the day before his real birthday so his cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents and his dad could celebrate with him. In the morning we did presents with our little family. He got a huge train table ( he plays all day long) sandbox, some books and puzzles. We ate breakfast and then started to get the yard ready for the party. We had a ball theme birthday party. We had a concessions stand that had drinks, popcorn, cotton candy, chips, hot dogs and hamburgers. We played a couple games, opened presents and did cake and ice cream. Austin was pretty funny this year about blowing out the candles. (A week before his party we decided to teach him how to blow out the candles.) while we were singing to him he just watched the candles flicker when we were done singing he was in no hurry to blow them out he stopped took a drink and started to softly blow ... Instead of the candle he was blowing the cake... Well that was to much for him so he stopped and took another drink and repeated the process, by the third time everyone was laughing and he got so embarrassed that he was done and had his cousins all help him. He is to dang cute! What a fun day... Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated his day!
