Karly and Noah/ Gardner's Village Witches

Karly is now 4 months old. I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing. She can now hold her head without support and she is soooo talkative. She makes the loudest noises. I can't believe those noises can come out of such a tiny baby. I think she is getting close to teething. She is slobbering everywhere as you can see in this picture she is eating her shirt. We went to her four month appointment. she now weighs 14 lbs and 0.1 oz 75 Th percentile.
She is in the 75Th percentile for height and still is in the 25Th percentile for her head size. If they would measure her head where her cheeks are I'm sure she would be in the 95 Th percentile. Her cheeks giggle when she goes for car rides. There so stinkin cute. I love having a chubby baby. Noah wasn't chubby at all.

My cute kiddos. Noah is going through the TERRIBLE TWO's Tantrums, hitting, screaming, lying on the floor kicking. It is SUPER FUN! Everyone I talk to said the threes were worse. I sure hope not.

A few of my aunts, cousins, and my mom and my kiddos all went down to Gardner's Village to see the fun witches. We got there at about 5:30 and ate. We didn't realize that the stores closed at 8:00 so we missed out. It was fun getting together with everyone. It was supposed to be a girls night out but I brought Noah along because Jared had to go in the field that night. Noah and my cousin Hannah.

Threw a shower for Jennifer and I.. and Karly
This is the cute crown that Jenny made for the shower the cute babies fell of before I took the picture.

It was really nice because I got some bigger clothes for Karly. They are all so cute! THANKS GIRLS!

We ate here..... It was really good they brew their own root beer and I even had a root beer chicken sandwich. I would recommend it. However our waiter was a little slow. Jennifer had three Pepsi's and didn't get a fourth because the waiter wasn't keeping on top of it. Thanks Jenny for paying for me and driving my car. I never told you!


As you can see no pictures of the shower because my battery died in my camera. I hate when that happens. Speaking of Camera......
I went to this concert and forgot my camera. I went out to the entrance and they wouldn't let me go back out to my car. I was sooo bummed. Jared got really close seats we were about 10 feet away from him. That is the closest I have ever been at a concert.

He was there too. I was surprised how many of his songs I knew considering I don't really listen to Country at all.

So be-it!

So the other day I was changing Karly and Noah walks into the room. He pulls on my shirt and out of no where he says, mom I need a baby bother (brother). I said, WHAT???? his next reply was heavendly father that's how he says it.(heavenly father) too weird! Don't worry I am not prego and don't plan to be anytime soon. Here is Noah in his New Hampshire attire my mom brought him back from her trip. We asked Noah where is your smile and he pointed to it.

We caught some smiles on camera.

2 months and more.

Noah is saying so many cute phrases and I just want to remember all of them before their gone. Here he is with his cousin Aly. Here are a few of them.
His aunt teases him and calls him small fry-his reply is I not small fry I noah migit
Momm-A I love you so much!
Hold you-He says this when he wants you to hold him.
Need Nap- When he is tired
gama winnie and gama ellen-grandmas
I have pretty eyes
I wanna go shoppin-My dad about died when he said this one.
Ya whenever you ask him a question
He knows all of this colors and can count to 13 with help. Now were working on shapes however he gets confused with the oval and rectangle.

As for Karly she has started smiling. Every morning when I go to feed her she smiles so big for me when I pick her up. We had her 2 month appointment and she is in the 75th percentile for height and weight. She weighs 11lbs 4 oz. As for her head she is only in the 25th percentile which is weird for me because big heads run in my family and Jared doesn't have a small head. HMM!

August so far....

I need to be better about blogging and this is why.......

I got this great idea off of Heather's blog. I turned my blog into a book. I think I will start doing it about every two years because I am already putting pictures and keeping a journal about my children's lives and this can be a sort of a scrapbook for them.

We had Karly's blessing. It was a really nice day.

Not a very good picture the sun was glaring in our eyes.

Now on to the big issue that has been a big problem in our house. Noah and Potty training. We are having some major issues. Noah thinks that every time he goes poo that he needs to stick his hands in it and rub it all over my walls and toys. Believe me this is really FUN! I didn't take any pictures because come on it is DISGUSTING. I am so sick of cleaning up poo every day that we are now trying potty training but it isn't going very well. Here is Noah with his potty watch. You can set it so it goes off every 30,60, or 90 minutes it is a good reminder for me to take him to the bathroom.

The grand old potty we try to make a big deal of it but he is only tinkling in it for now.

I sure hope this works. Did anyone else have issues with their child smearing poo?

One last shot because I couldn't resist I love how chubby her cheeks are getting.

Endless Images Photo Heavy

We recently had our family pictures taken. She did such an awesome job. These are just a few of my favorite. There are a lot but she took hundreds of them. She is having a really good deal right now. Here is her website http://endlessimagesutah.com/photoblog/ if you are interested however you have to mention my name because she is also having a referral special. Which I would much appreciate. She took our family pictures then she said she would do a newborn shoot for us including Noah for only $20 so I couldn't pass it up. Here are my favorites.
