Sleep are you here?

Last night Delany slept through the night. Slept till 7 am.  Oh please tell me it is finally happening. And the past two days my kids have finally napped around the same time. 

Not sure if both sleep events are something I can continue to expect but oh how I pray they are! 

I may start to experience real sleep again and if nothing else a few quiet moments in the afternoon. 

In other news Delany had her 4 month appointment and weighs 12 pounds. Carter may be starting to read words cause he knew where the book drawer was at the doctors office and we had never been there or read books there before. I was shocked. 

A little scary how much they learn that you don't teach them. Need to make sure they are equally getting taught what I want them to know! 

Delany trying out the bumbo chair. They grow so fast. Doctor told me I could introduce solid foods, meats included, really???? She has no teeth.

4 months

Ohh doody doody (goody, goody). 

Ohh yeah, yeah, yeah

Seriously?

You are killing me!

Just a few of his favorite phrases.

Also he now wishes everyone a happy new year when they leave. It's pretty cute.

He talks so good and says the funniest things. He is pretty darn cute although I am not sure what to do with him a lot of the time:)

He also has some amazing ninja moves. I am not sure where he comes up with some of this stuff.

Delany is babbling and giggling more and more. She is a pretty good baby. Minus the gas, which has got to go away soon I hope. Then she might start sleeping through the night. It feels like we are force feeding her most of the time. She likes to watch the tv if its on. She likes her ball and elephant and is interacting more with her toys.

Knight to the rescue! He loves his scooter and fighting monsters .

He loves being right in his sisters face.

Baby girl, lany Lou, little missy....all the names we call this girl that is getting so big.

She loves watching her brother and he loves sharing... At least for now! Haha

She is starting to wiggle out of things, so now we have to buckle her in.

He never wants her to sleep and likes her to have tummy time.

He loves to eat snow and be outside. Help his dad shovel and come get hot coco after. 

Talking on his banana phone!

She is 4 months old! Little doll!

Love!!!!

Epic firsts

Delany rolled over. She has been rolling to her back for a week or so but now she has figured out how to roll to her stomach. She will be four months this week and I can't wait to be able to say she is sleeping through the night.... It's got to happen soon, right?!?

In other exciting news, carter pooped on the potty last night. It was the most glorious thing. He struggles in general and doesn't like to poop, so for him to go in the toilet was a miracle. Hope it is a sign of things to come:) he got to pick a toy out for going poop in the potty. He was pretty excited about it. 

Last exciting first is I am using my new washer and dryer today and it works beautifully. Despite being up 4-5 times last night with kids today is a great day!

Tis the season

Carter loves his sister. I always knew he would love having a sibling and it melts my heart. He sings to her when she cries and tries to get her to laugh. 

Happy baby girl. One day carter was jumping on the bed and I put on the five little monkeys song and Delany was belly laughing. It was so funny.

He loves to touch her. It is cute until its not. Like when she is asleep....

We spent Christmas in Canada. Not sure Delany was up for all the people and attention. But she sure was loved and looked after. Always nice to have extra hands to help. Here is her cute Christmas dress grandma got her. She liked eating the silky part.

My two adorable kids!

Carter was the perfect age this year to get into Christmas. Too bad he got sick and couldn't enjoy it as much as we would have liked. Here he is putting food out for the reindeer.

And getting milk and cookies for Santa! He sure had fun playing with his cousins!

He also really loves eating snow. 

My sisters family got a zip line for Christmas. This is how we made it work on the ranch:) carter loved it, as all the kids( old and young) did. He told everyone to let go of him.

Here is grandpa taking a ride.

Here are all the grand kids, minus my brothers family, lots of fun. All good kids!

Here is carter and Delany's visit to Santa. Carter knew for months that he wanted dusty crop duster airplane. And he got it, plus a few million other toys:)

Here he is playing his piano. He loves all his new toys. He rides his scooter around the house. 

Family photos

Last year 

This Year

Carter is happy to share the lime light with Delany! He really does love his baby sister. And so do we!

Thanks to our friends the Robbins for taking our photos and letting us invade their house. They are the best!

Merry Christmas everyone and a healthy and happy New Year!

Love

Delany had her first laugh tonight as I was bathing her. Nothing better than that and I can't wait to start seeing more of her personality. Carter already loves her but he will love making her laugh too. 

Carter loves making up songs and makes me sing crocodile songs to him every night. It is so fun. I love my family!

Smiley baby girl!

Feeding herself:) momma likes that!

Having fun with the elf on the shelf. Carter spotted him at the top of the Christmas tree this morning, pulled his stocking holder down on his head one morning when the elf was hiding in his stocking. Fun times!

My nephew changed Carter's diaper and put Delany's diaper on instead. Hello speedo! We all had a good laugh!

I love that carter is learning about Jesus and all about Christmas. He is at a fun age. The other day he said he wanted a thousand dollars. Where does he come up with this stuff. Love my kids! When they aren't making me crazy, they are making me so happy:)
