Victoria's 4 month check up

She did great! 24 inches and 11lbs 8oz now :-). She is such a sweet baby! Doesn't cry very much and is usually pretty quiet, unless she want to "chat". She is reaching and grabbing toys without assistance now! She can almost roll over. Just needs to transfer her weight a little further. She loves to blow bubbles and "talk". I melt when she gives her goofy smile. Love her so :-).

Victoria sleeps through the Night!

Victoria slept through the night for the first time! Yea! So excited! My baby is growing up!

Emma's party and Kaden's compliment

Our friend Emma had her 4th birthday party today at the bounce place, Pump it up. We also had a birthday party to attend for Carly and Sophie, as they turned 5. Thank goodness, no marriage proposals today :-). Everyone had a great time. At Carly and Sophie's party, I was cleaning Kaden's face when he said, "Mommy, you are so beautiful. You look like a princess." Wow! How sweet is that! It means a little more from them at this age because they can be so brutally honest :-). Thank you Kaden! You made my day!

You are my best friend

Colin, Kaden, and Katharine were playing chase when Katharine ran up, threw her arms around me and told me, "Mommy, you are my best friend." How sweet is that! She can be a real sweetie!

Halloween 2009

We went to Lubbock for Halloween. Colin was Prince Phillip (a knight), Kaden was Jack Sparrow (a pirate), Katharine was a fairy, and Victoria was a disney Princess :-). We trick or treated in Lakeridge, Grammy and Big D's neighborhood. Big D is really sick, but he was glad to see all of us, and see the kids in their Halloween costumes :-). The kids did great trick or treating. Didn't try to go into people's houses this year! Good grief! Everyone made a haul, and had a ton of candy. When they were done, they wanted to go back to Grammy's and Big D's to hand out candy. So we did. Kaden must have thought we were slow, because he ran down to the side walk and yelled, "We have candy at this house! Come trick or treat here! We have candy at this house!" We all died laughing! Colin and Katharine joined in trying to recruit trick or treaters to Big D's :-). It was a great time! We always have fun trick or treating at Big D's house!

Colin receives his first love letter

Colin told his Daddy that his little girlfriend had given him a letter. This is the same girl he is "engaged" to :-). He promptly pulls an envelope with a purple cut out heart out of his backpack. She even wrote his name on it! He can't hardly write his name! She followed us out to the car today, and wished Colin a nice weekend. So cute!

Victoria's First laugh

Victoria laughed for the first time today! It was adorable! She laughed a few times in a row! I can't believe how fast she is growing and developing! She is all ready laughing! She is so sweet and patient. Very patient. I have to check on her several times when she takes a nap because she will just lay there awake for the longest time before she will cry. Such a good girl! Love her so much!
