Fall Days...School Days

Wynn had her pumpkin patch field trip with her preschool yesterday and had so much fun!  I wasn't able to leave work so Daddy took her and I'm so happy that they got to spend that special time together.  They had so much fun!  She had a little lesson in the barn all about pumpkins and gourds and then they each got to pick out an ear of Indian corn.  They took a hayride and picked out their own little pumpkins too.  What a fun, fall day!

Wynn has had such a great year so far at school.  She is learning and growing so much each day!  She surprised us with the Pledge of Allegiance last week and I had to get it on video.  She rocks. :)

Click here to see her recite it!  Today is her Tailgating party so she's wearing her Buckeye Cheerleading Outfit and they are making trail mix in her class!  They're doing an outfit parade at lunchtime so I'm going to make the trek out there to see her. :)

My sweet girls :)

My wish....

I pray that I am all of this to my girls and more....

I have dreamed of being a mama and prayed that I would be so blessed since I was a little girl.  I babysat, cuddled, snuggled and nannied other people's little ones and still prayed that someday that little one would be own very own.  Now I have two of my very own and I couldn't praise God anymore than I already do that they are my sweet little ladies and I get the chance now to be everything that I always dreamed to be for them. I was born to be their mama. :) 

Wynn's 4 Year Appt.

Beanie is doing fantastic!  She had her four year appt. today and her pedi said that she looks perfect.  She got her flu shot and will get the remainder of her shots at her 5 year appt.  They also did a hearing test which was interesting to say the least with a 4 year old!  She said that her language and comprehension is exceptional and her whining is normal. :)

Her stats:
Weight:  34 lbs. - 25-50%
Height:   39" - 50% (the pedi said that she thought the nurse might have mismeasured her because she looks taller than that so who knows??)
BMI:  50%

At 4 years old she is:

- Wearing a size 8 or 8.5 shoe
- Wearing 4T pants and 5T shirts
- LOVES to play creatively!  She loves to sit by herself and color or paint.  She also loves to make up play stories with her My Little Ponies or her "little cuties" (two little stuffed animals).
- Never naps
- Is really into Santa right now so we're doing a lot of "Santa wouldn't be happy with that behavior, etc."
- Is very into doing this herself and doesn't want much help
- LOVES ponies and horses - I wish we lived on a farm and she could have one :)
- Whines alot when she's tired.  ALOT.
- Is starting to fib a little about small things.  We're working on that.

Auden is 15 months old!

Our sweet girl is 15 months old!  She's doing so many new things and growing so much.  She had her 15 month appt. on Thursday and she's a supermodel...long and lean. :)

19 lbs. 5 oz. - 5%-10%
31" long - 75%

Just in the last few days she has begun walking 8-10 steps at a time!  She's starting to walk alot more then she was.  She was starting to worry me a little by not really walking but she seems to be finally getting it.  She only gained 1 oz. since her 12 month appt. so I'm trying to add in extra calories for her through whole milk peanut butter, etc.  At 15 months she is:

- the sweetest, most ornery little pumpkin ever!
- Wearing a size 3.5 shoe - FINALLY
- taking 8-10 steps at a time
- climbing up on the dining room table at least 15 times per day.  No kidding.  She's a monkey.
- Says mommy, dada, dog, woof woof, baby, duck, and alot of other gibberish we don't  understand yet
- Is pretty much down to one nap per day
- Is wearing 12-18 month clothes but she's so skinny that unless pants are adjustable waist or elastic they fall off of her
- Eats with a fork and has for a few months now
- LOVES her big sister and belly laughs at her all the time :)
- is still a huge mama's girl and cries when I leave her
- loves stuffed animals.  If she's ever crying you can hand her any stuffed animal and she will stop.  She snuggles it and kisses it.  Her favorite is a dog of Wynnie's named Biscuit

She is such a precious addition to our family and we are so blessed to have her in our lives.  She's silly and sweet and cuddly and stubborn as a mule (wonder where she gets that??)  :)    I could never imagine loving another child as much as I love Wynnie and I DO!  I have more love than I thought my heart could hold. :)  My sweet little pumpkin pie is growing up!
