Officially Potty Trained!

I've been meaning to blog about this for a couple weeks now... Ashlyn's potty trained!!! I didn't want to write about it and then jinx ourselves but I know we don't have anything to worry about anymore! She started about a month ago, we went cold turkey and just started to wear regular underwear during the day and pullups/diapers at nap and bedtime. She only had 3 or 4 accidents in the first few days and has been accident free since! She wears a pull up to bed but she will wake up at night and yell for us that she has to go potty. We are so proud of her! Woo hoo Ashlyn!

Here are some cute pictures of her helping me make cookies for daddy to take on his ice fishing trip with the boys. Licking the beater is obviously her favorite part!

 

 

 

3 months old!

Our sweet little girl is three months old already! She is growing like crazy and has become quite the chatter box. We get lots and lots of smiles from her too! She is a sleeping champ, 10:30pm and sleeps till 7am, eats and goes back to sleep until 9am. She loves it when her sister plays with her and likes trying to swat at toys hanging from her car seat or play mat. She is such a happy baby, we just love her to pieces!

Baking a Cake

Ashlyn has a thing for birthday cake. She really likes it so a few weeks ago we made one. She helped me crack the eggs, measure ingredients and stir the batter. She's a great helper!

Kaelyn enjoyed swinging while we baked.

Grandpa Tim stopped out a few weeks ago while Ashlyn was playing dress up.

I seem to say this ALL the time- "Gentle with your sister Ashlyn!"

Happy Birthday Joe!

Kaelyn's 2 month check up

This is a little past due...

Kaelyn went in for her 2 month appointment on January 11th. She had a little rash going on so we went about 10 days early but since Dr Knudson is hard to get into we decided to do her two month check then along with all of the lovely shots. She got one oral and three sticks to her little thighs. She cried of course but was fine. Big sister Ashlyn was right there to stroke her head and say "it's okay Kaelyn, don't cry" followed by a kiss.   She is very sweet like that to Kaelyn - most of the time!

Kaelyn has been just a sweetheart, very smiley and "talks" to us all the time. She especially likes getting her diaper changed and will give you a big smile then. She has been sleeping from 11pm till 6am, eats and sleeps till about 9 or 10am. It's great! We just need her to go to bed a little earlier :)

Her stats were: 11lbs 13oz,  22" long, 15 1/2" head circumference

Smiley!

Ashlyn likes to take pictures of her too :)

Bean Bag

Ashlyn got a new bean bag for her bedroom. She wanted Kaelyn to sit in it too!

Snowmobiler in training

Ashlyn thought it was pretty neat to wear daddy's snowmobiling helmet.
She LOVES to go riding with him.

Calling Santa

"Hi Santa, how are you? (burp)... Hi Santa, how are you? Good. Bring me presents? AWESOME!

The Girls

 Kaelyn has been a really good baby so far. She is very easy going and content. She really only cries when she is hungry and she has been sleeping good too. Usually only up once or twice a night. She even went 7 hours strait on Christmas eve! As of last Monday, she weighed 10lbs 1oz. She's growing fast just like her sister :)  Speaking of sisters, Ashlyn LOVES to snuggle and kiss her - a lot!  If she hears her crying she'll say "I better check on my sister and make sure she's ok" in her serious voice. Then if Kaelyn stops crying before I get there she is very proud of herself and will tell me that she got her to stop crying. It's so cute. She's getting better at not wanting to touch her eyes and "lovingly" swat at her. She wants Kaelyn to come with us when Ashlyn's getting a bath and she has to be there to read stories before bedtime too. I'm glad she has adjusted to being a big sister better than we thought she would!
