She’s 4

Leave a reply
Jon and I blew up a package of balloons and tossed them on her floor (after she was asleep) for a morning surprise. She was so excited! I think that’s going to be our new birthday thing. Having the children wake up to a room full of balloons was an awesome way to start the day.

I gave her her birthday cards that came in the mail to open BEFORE breakfast. She was too funny trying to blow up her birthday card balloons.

Then she had to “feed” her piggy. Kid got $10 in her cards this year. She was all, “WOW! Mas hundred dollars!” Big thank yous to Grandmas Sapp and Heaton. She carried and looked at her cards most of the day.

She wanted a Nutella and almond butter sandwich and a pink smoothie for her birthday breakfast.

Then she decided that we should build a tent for all the balloons and have a princess movies/eat all our food in the tent day. So we did.

And during Regan’s nap time we did her photo shoot. I’ll post those pictures later.

Her party is on Saturday so cake and piñata pictures will come later.

Happy birthday Josh!

Josh was nice enough to humor me and let me throw him a little tiny shindig. Poor guy puts up with a lot living with us. I hear he doesn’t normally celebrate? So he really was being nice to humor my need to celebrate. He’s great.

We kept it simple. Bummed Kaylee out. She was all for hiding and yelling, “Surprise!!!” Had a picture in her head and a plan. She was about in tears when Uncle Josh got home before anyone had arrived. He spent some time reassuring her that it was o.k. Like I said he’s great.


I went old school with the candles. No number candles for Josh. He got an inferno. The children were amazed.


(Please ignore our construction/unfinished projects in photos. Slow and steady are our mantra these days for finishing work.)

Happy birthday Josh! AND Happy birthday to Ben. And Mom. AND Sam. We didn’t forget any of you, and hope your day was special too!

Regan James 2 years old and a WCC

Leave a reply
My baby is 2!!! Crazy super fast how that happened. His birthday this year landed on a Tuesday in the middle of new house reno. So I snapped my traditional B-day shoot and headed out to paint. We had a little party for him that weekend. But here is what he looked like the day he turned 2.

Photos taken 11/16/2011 on the Day family couch.

Aunt Shannon was trying to get him to do his fingers and say “I’m two.” We are still working on that.

Today at his WCC:
Height: 26.9 inches
Weight: 24.6 lbs

Poor kiddo got shots today at the new Dr.’s office. He was not pleased. Other than the shots and being an EXTRA long visit going over his medical history (think I scared his new Dr. a little… poor guy.), his 2 year well child check went great. He is still gaining weight and height, and is right on track with his fine/gross motor skills and his expressive/receptive language skills.

Dr. M is going to give us a referral for a new pediatric G.I. Dr. for Regan as he doesn’t feel comfortable treating something he has never even heard of (Really not surprised. Who on earth aside from G.I. Dr.s knows what CLN is?). I was happy with his game plan as I was hoping for a referral anyway.

So we have a primary care Dr. (Who I so far like. Easy to talk to and thorough with his exam and questions, and happy to answer all of mine.) and are going to have a new G.I. Dr. soon. So I just need to pin down a dentist for the kiddos.

I hate finding new Dr.s.

Party photos coming soon. I am a bit behind in blogging our recent activities. Moving/house reno sure messed up my routine.
