Tractor boy and Chatter box

Wyatt loves riding his tractor. He rides it pretty much everytime we go outside to play!

Keniann has become quite the talker lately. She melts my heart (:

We are still steadily working on the home before we move in. So far we have new paint on the walls, the popcorn off ceilings and soon we will be working on redoing the flooring. I promise to have some pictures up once we are done (: I am so ready to move!! I'm really looking forward to Keniann having her own room since she is still in our bedroom. I think that will help all of us sleep better.

Not only are we busy with the house, but it seems like lately we going through this big wave of birthday parties, showers and weddings.

Before I had Keniann, so many people told me that it's easy in the beginning when going from one to two kids because the baby just eats and sleeps. Well, for me that wasn't true at all! Now that Keniann is seven months old I can say that it has never been easy so far and I feel like it gets busier the older she gets. I wouldn't say that it is "harder", but just busier. For example, Keniann has started solids the past couple of weeks so not only do I have to fix Wyatt's and my lunch, but I also have to make Keniann's as well.

But I think that everyone can be busy. Actually, most people I talk to tell me that they have been busy. So I try to remember to appreciate the season I'm in because it won't last long.

Happy 6 months!

Keniann, you turned 6 months yesterday and boy has it been a super fast six months!! A lot has changed in a month. This past month you have started to:

-practice sitting up independently (you are so close!)

-crawling/scooting (it's more like a half crawl/half army crawl with some baby yoga in the mix)

-driving your brother crazy! It's been so much fun to watch you two interact

At six months, you are taking the phrase "baby proofing" to a whole new level. You are already getting into things that Wyatt never did at his age. I will walk away for only a second and come back to find you way across the room from where you were. I can already tell that you are going to give us a run for our money. Good thing you are really cute (:

In the past few weeks, I have introduced rice cereal to you and you have loved it! For months now you have gotten excited just seeing me eat or drink something so I felt like you might be interested in eating yourself. You love your milk though! And your chuncky thighs can prove it (: You nurse now for only 5 min on one side about every 2 1/2 to 3 hours during the day and wake up 2 or 3 times a night to eat.

Everytime I rock you to sleep you reach your little arm straight out to feel my face to go to sleep. It's just about the sweetest thing ever and my favorite time with you.

Here are some few other random things that I would be sad to forget:

*Your favorite thing to scoot for is the remote control. And once you have it you hold it in the air and study all the buttons on it.
*You rub your eyes when you are sleepy
*Your favorite spot is being on the floor. Jumping in your jumper is also a favorite as well!
*You have always and still love to sleep on your tummy
*You are in a size 3 diaper. You wear 6-9 month cloths and you wear a size 1 or 2 shoe.
*You watch me everywhere I go, and you cry almost everytime I leave the room. You also love watching Wyatt wherever he goes, and you get really happy when your daddy gets home from work!!

My kids are really funny

Wyatt and Keniann have been interacting much more these days. Wyatt loves running around Keniann and seeing her laugh at him! That's probably one of his favorite things to do. Who needs toys or tv when you have siblings?!!

playing

As you can see Wyatt loves playing on his laptop when Daniel or I are on ours. His leapfrog laptop was one of his gifts from Santa. He really likes the music features and checking his own email. This toy has been one of his favorites lately. There is also a way for me to write him email and send to him on his laptop.

Here is a little video of Keniann. This girl is a mover! She has been rocking on her hands and knees for a few weeks. I'm actually not ready for her to crawl. I'm not sure if I'm ready for two on the move!! Everytime I put her in the bumbo or her bouncer she tries to get out and sometimes she is almost successful at it if I'm not keeping a close eye on her. My mom has a jumper for her at her house and she has loved being in that! That keeps her entertained for awhile.

New Home

It won't be long before we move to our new home! We are thinking we should be able to move in a month or two. We are done with taking wall paper down, thanks to my mom and Daniel (: Now all we need to do some painting and change flooring (and maybe a few other things).

Our future home! Our new 4 bedroom home will be a big difference from our 2 bedroom home!

Breakfast

Since Daniel has started his new job, he leaves the house before the kids get up the morning to be at his work for 6:30. This is a big change from our old routine of him leaving the house at 7:45! But what's really nice about his new job is that he gets off at 10:30 in the morning on Fridays! So breakfast during the week is just me and the kiddos. I'm really thankful that Wyatt likes instant oatmeal because that has been his typical breakfast lately.

New hat and bubble butt

Wyatt got a new hat from his Memaw (Daniel's grandmaw) and he won't leave the house without wearing it. He loves that hat, probably because his daddy has one just like it. It's a camouflage John Deere hat. I think he looks too cute in his hat!

In other news, Keniann has been growing so much lately! It's so hard to believe that she will be 5 months coming up! She wears cloth diapers (part-time) and the only downside to them is that they make her have a bubble butt, especially with pants on! If she does wear her cloth diapers I can't put her in her normal size pants because they are too small to fit over the cloth diapers. But so far they work just as good as disposables and I love the cute patterns on them (:

Four months and already trying to scoot!

I can't believe Keniann is already trying to crawl at four months old! She is way ahead of Wyatt, he didn't start this until he was about seven months old. She is such a little busy body! She never stays still. Even when I put her in her bumbo or bouncer she automatically pivots or turns to one side to roll out of it. This was so different from Wyatt because he just loved to sit still the majority of the time when he was this age.

A Look Back at 2011

As we say goodbye to 2011, I wanted to share photos throughout the year. We had lots of changes for our family this year and look forward to what 2012 will bring.
