More room!!!

Yippy!!! Adam and I have been on the hunt for a place with more room. We found it this past weekend!!! We have LONG since out grown this apartment! Now the kids will each have there own room. I know Ryann will be happy. Aiden likes to take things off her desk and she isn't too crazy that he does that! Our lease ends here the end of March, but we can move into the new place the end of Feb. So were happy to have a FULL month to move. Maybe we can get some color on the walls before we move all our stuff!! Just wanted to share our exciting news!!

Hope your all doing good!!

Getting a move on!

WOW!!

Aiden and I are sitting on the floor playing, having a good time. When he stands up and just takes off walking! He walked about 3 feet!! It was all on his own, no "come to mommy". He is so amazing! He still prefers to crawl, but the walking thing is coming along very well! I think it'll only be a couple of weeks and he'll be done w/ the whole crawling thing.... (kinda hope I'm wrong, w/ him crawling I can pretend he's still a baby!
:(

Hope you all have an amazing weekend!!!

(Can you believe he'll be 11mo tomorrow?!)

He's gonna be a talker....

I caught Aiden 'talking' on the phone, "Haaiiii dada!" It was so funny, he holds the phone more to the back of his neck than to his ear. I think it's so amazing how kids pick up on the things we do.

It hasn't been long since my last post, so not much has changed. Aiden did take 5 steps Monday night.... he had to show his Aunt Kim how big he is getting!!

Growing Boy!

My, my how time seems to fly! Aiden is growing and changing so fast! He now has 5 teeth!! He has started to refuse his veggies, something this kid has NEVER done. So we just sneak them in with his other foods. He is starting to get some dairy. He LOVES cottage cheese, which kinda grosses his daddy out! He is standing better and better by himself. He took 4 steps last night, but he still prefers to crawl. He hasn't said any new words lately, but he seems to have a sound that means he wants his cup, or he wants to nurse.... kinda sounds like di,di.... he might be trying to say drink?! Aiden is going to be one on the 21st of next month. I still can't believe how fast it's gone by!!! We have started planning his party, I think it'll be a blast!!

Hope your all doing good. If you wanna see pictures of the big boy standing all by himself check out our family photo gallery!!

Back to "normal"

Yeah, if there is such a thing! Aiden is FINALLY over the stomach bug that had him down since last Thursday. I felt so sorry for my baby. He threw up SO much!! We took him to the doctor and they gave us a prescription. He seems to back to 100%!!!! (we almost went a whole year w/ out getting sick)

Ryann went back to her mommy's yesterday. It was so hard to let her go, but she missed them terribly! We all loved having her around for so long. Aiden especially! He followed her all over! Sometimes she was the only thing that could make him stop crying.

So now that Daddy is back at work, Sissy is gone for now and Aiden isn't sick anymore; life returns back to "normal"!

Back to work!

Poor Daddy, he returned to work today after almost 2 weeks off! The kids and I aren't real sure what to do with out him. Aiden and Ryann LOVED Daddy being home all that time. I got pretty spoiled having him home too.

Aiden hasn't really persued the walking thing much. He'll only take a step when he is certain he isn't going to fall. He has cut two more teeth bringing the grand total to 4. You can already see two more pushing on his gums, but it could be months before they come in if they are anything like the two he just got. We have discovered he is quite a dare devil, after he "climbed" out of his high chair. He is okay, just looked a little banged up for a couple of days.

Ryann is the same sweet little angel! She amazes us almost daily. We heard her say y'all for the first time the other day, it was funny! She has really enjoyed being here the past week and a half, it's going to be very hard to let her go back to her mommy's.

Happy New Year!!

Wishing everyone the happiest New Year ever!!! We are ringing in the New Year with our kiddos and a night at home! If you've got plans to go out, PLEASE be careful and have a WONDERFUL night!!

Merry Christmas!!!

WOW! What a wonderful Christmas!! We had a super first Christmas as a family of four. The kids had an awesome time, they got everything they could ever want/ need. Ryann's big gift was her Cinderella bike, which she LOVED. She had Adam take her outside for hours so she could ride. Both kids loved their gifts, but funny how they loved what the other one got too. Adam and I got some goodies too!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful day!

First step!!!!!!!

Okay, this kid is growing up WAY to fast!! He took his first step today!!!!! Aiden, Adam and I were playing at the foot of our bed and Aiden was standing infront of Adam. He then turned around and took a step to me. Adam and I were so excited, we had him walking between the two of us. Still only took one more step on his own, but what a start!!!! I just can't believe our baby is growing up so fast!!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!!!

Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Norfleet!!!!!!!!!!

After almost five years Jayme and Patrick tied the knot. Ryann and I were happy to be asked to be part of the special day!! The wedding was beautiful! Patrick and Jayme were made for each other, and I don't think anyone deserves to be this happy more than Jayme!! She is an awesome friend. Also want to congratulate her on graduating on Saturday from SHSU.

Patrick and Jayme will be living in Arizona, can't say I'm happy about that part, but we do wish them the very best!!!!

Fun time!!

Aiden and I had a great time today! We got to meet up with our moms group for the first time today. We went to the Ridgmar mall and had pictures taken with Santa. Aiden liked the big ol guy!! Then we let the kiddos play in the play are, what fun! Sadly Aiden and I had to leave early.... family obligations. Well hope your all doing well!!

Happy to be home!!!

Wow, what a week. Aiden and I left Monday and just returned home!!! We had a great time with Jayme and family, but we are both very happy to be home.

Lots happened for our little boy the is past week. He said bye-bye for the first time on Tuesday. He also stood from the sitting position w/ out holding on to anything!!!!! He tried to say puppy, it came out pup - close!! I think he came back more spoiled than when we left, (yeah.... if that were possible!)

We had a great time going to Jayme's many wedding showers. I took her bridal, and graduation portraits. Plus we got some much needed things off her wedding to-do list!!

Now I've got to get this kid fed and in the bath, so we can be all ready for some cuddle time when daddy to gets home - God how we've both missed him!!!!!!!

Have a wonderful week!

Christmas fun begins!!!

Taryn, Cambree, Ashelynn, Colton, Carson, Aiden and Ryann


We had Christmas w/ my brothers, sister and kids at our house tonight.... what a GREAT time!!!! The kids got some AWESOME gifts, they had a blast playing w/ all their cousins. Hope you are all getting into the holiday spirit. Have an awesome weekend!!!

He's a growing boy!!

As most of you know, Aiden turned 9 months a few days ago. I took him in for his well check today. It went terrific! He is 29.5" long..... in the 75th percentile. He is 18-10.5lbs..... about the 25th percentile. I was concerned he was too thin, but Dr. Rhodes looked at me and said "looks like he gets it honest." He has followed along the same arch, although his weight has dropped down since his last check-up. The doc said that is probably due to the fact that he is ALL over the place. He got the last of his hepatitis B shots, and the second of his flu shots. He did really great, only cried for a minute. Can't believe our baby is growing so fast!!!!

Happy Sunday!

Ryann went back to her mommy's today, but not after a wonderful week and a half!! We had tons of fun at the park and local play areas. We also had a super time at Disney Princess on Ice. Followed by a terrific Thanksgiving! We got into the Christmas spirit, we decorated our home for the holidays and we went to Prairie Lights' Airblown World!!

Aiden so LOVED having his big sister here - he followed her around like a lost puppy.... it was so cute!!! Ryann also loved it, she had her own real baby "doll". I don't know how many times I walked into find her "feeding" or "diapering" her baby.

We can't wait to have our baby girl back!!

Hope your all getting into the holiday spirit!!!

Also, I just got news today - Drew Andrews, (Adrian's nephew) is terribly sick. He is at the Children's hospital in Houston. Please keep him and his parents, (Carl and Aaryn) in your prayers.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hope you've all enjoyed your day! We sure did. We went to Gamma and Papa's and had a wonderful meal. Aiden and Ryann, jumped right in and celebrated Thanksgiving the good old fashion way.... they ate ALL day!!

Then we came home and started getting ready for Christmas!!! Ryann had a great time decorating the tree. No doubt she will ask every day, from now till Christmas if it's Christmas yet. Aiden had a good time "helping" too. He just would sit and stare at the tree..... loves the singing frog too.

Again, hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving!!!

The princess is here!!

We picked up Ryann on Friday night. We are going to have her for till Sunday!!!! Aiden has already really enjoyed having his big sister here!! We took her to see Disney Princess on Ice Saturday. We all had a really great time!!! They showed a little bit of all the great princess stories.

Gamma came over and played with us today. The kids were so happy to get some quality time with their Grandma. She, Ryann and I went to Garden Ridge and got some things to get ready for Christmas. I can't believe it's already time for Thanksgiving.

Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!!!!!

#3 is on it's way!!

NO, not our third child!!!!
Aiden's third tooth is poking through. It's the top left one!!! Adam and I have thought he was working on getting another one for a while. This explains his fussiness, and his need to be with his mommy!!! I can't believe he is big enough to have three teeth - he is going to be 9mo NEXT week!!!

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely fall weather!

What a week!!!

OMG, am I glade this week is over! We were all so happy Adam come home. Aiden and I had a good time, but he missed his daddy terribly!! After a couple of days, when Aiden would cry he would call for Adam. He would also crawl around looking for him. He was SO happy to hear his voice on the phone, but even more so when he saw his face. Ryann was so excited to see her daddy too. Melony said she started asking to come see us on Monday. I picked her up early and we surprised Daddy.

Aiden started getting a runny nose on Tuesday, due to lovely allergies. With all the drainage, we experienced our first, (and second) vomit! I felt so sorry for my little baby. We've started some meds, he is already feeling much better. He also got his first busted lip. We were at Kay's and he wanted to try and walk from the couch to the coffee table without holding on to anything. He took about two steps, then down he went - face first in the coffee table. To my surprise he got over it pretty quick. He is going to be one tough kid!!

Ryann is growing and changing! She never ceases to amaze. She, Adam and Aiden are reading a book right now. Aiden keeps trying to turn the page and Ryann told him, "Aiden no, (you're) driving me CRAZY!!" - she is a nut! I can't believe how much she has changed, just in the past couple of months. She is so smart, and we all know how beautiful she is.....

Hope everyone has a SUPER week!!!

Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Ensey!!!

Congrats Jenny and Emrick. You had a beautiful wedding and a DREAMY reception! We had a great time while in College Station. Aiden got to play with his best friend; Chandler! Plus mommy got to visit and be part of Jenny's special day.

Adam just left for a work related trip. He'll be gone till Friday. What will Aiden and I do to fill our days?? Ha! We've already got two weeks full of excitement planned!

Hope everyone is fantastic! Have a great week!!
