11 months


It's true, my baby is soon going to be a year old! She is acting so much like a toddler and is getting into everything! we can't get enough of her, especially her brother. Cael went deer hunting with Casey so me and Kensie went to the mall. first mother/daughter shopping trip. anyway, we were eating in the food court and Kensie must have been missing Cael because she would not stop talking to these cute little boys next to us. it was so cute. Like I said me and Kensie spent the weekend home without the boys. I think it was good for the kids to get some individual attention. Milestones...... She is still not walking, but she is getting more interested. She has a new love of pillows and giggles when she wrestles with them. She still says hel-lo, new word is Oh. I can now get a snap clip in her hair, finally! Loves to empty things out especially Cael's toys. She is getting sick of baby food and wants to eat and drink what we are. I have not attempted to take her bottle away and not looking forward to it. She is a girly girl and loves purses and jewelery. She waves and says bye-bye. Acts shy around people she doesn't know. Her favorite daycare lady is Jill and kensie snuggles with her when I drop her off in the morning. No new teeth. I think thats it.

First field trip


On Monday we went on Cael's first field trip to the red barn. All of the kids were excited to go on the wagon ride and of course Cael wanted to ride in the wagon with the hay (that had been rained on). After a few seconds my butt was completely wet. A lot of the kids were excited to see the tractor and hay. Cael was confused about this since everyones grandpa is a farmer! right? When we got to the patch Cael ran to the first pumpkin he saw and wanted to claim it. It's stem had been broken off so I talked him into the one with a stem. He then got ornery (hunger) and wanted to go back to the wagon. After we got back to the wagon he tried to lift the pumpkin and broke the stem off. So much for getting one with a stem! When we got back to the barn he ate his donut and we wandered through the store. After looking through every bit of candy he finally decided on two apples, one for him and his dad. This made a very good impression on his teacher (wink)! But i assured her that this was a rare occasion!

Good Bye Summer!


It turned out to be a nice afternoon on friday so me and the kids went to the park to celebrate good weather. Kensie took her first ride in the swing and squealed the whole time. The park is such a good way for Cael to burn off energy, I dont know what I'm going to do when it snows!
