Yukon

We took Yukon in for his 4 month shots. The Dr. weighed him. She though he would weigh about 34lbs. He weighed 43lbs!!! He gained 20lbs in 6 weeks!! He is going to be a beast.

Swimming Today

Since it has been so hot here *It's like we live in a desert or something* we are going swimming at the Y today with some friends. Haylee loves this pool! There is a toddler pool that has awesome water features.

Update - No swimming for us. Hayden woke up with a canker sore. Took him to the Dr because we had no clue what it was. She said don't be to concerned just keep it clean and dry. I don't think going to the pool will keep it dry. So we are having Haylee's friend over for playdate instead. It's ok I love the a/c.

Baby Bracelets

I am making bracelets and selling them on Etsy.com. Esty is a website helps people sell their handmade goods. I love making them and it is very relaxing but Haylee can only have so many so I figured I would sell them too.

Oldie But A Goodie

I love this video of Haylee and holy moly does she look like Hayden... or should I say Hayden looks like her. Anyway Haylee loves watching this video of herself and I just crack up everytime I see it too. ENJOY!!

New Shoes!

Haylee and Hayden got new shoes yesterday. Hayden actually got his first pair of shoes! He is starting to walk and I figured it was time. Before there wasn't really a reason for shoes since he didn't walk and it is so darn hot here. He kept looking at his feet and had a look on his face like 'what are these things'.

Haylee got a new pair too. I swear her feet are growing like crazy but I guess since she is going to be tall she needs them larger for good balance. She got a new pair of Sketchers that have changeable gems, so she can change the style of them whenever she wants. She loves shoes!!

Haylee's Sleeve

Today we went to a craft expo and they had a lady doing face painting for the kids. Haylee wanted butterflies on her arm. This is how it turned out. Now we just need to get her a pink mini motorcycle. Daddy may soon be running out of room in the garage with her Barbie Jeep she got for her birthday and the motorcycle she now needs to match her 'sleeve'.

Prediction....

Baby Gender Predictor

The prediction for baby number 3 is BOY! 18 days and counting!

We Have Movement

I can feel the baby move!! I have felt the movement for a bit now but today I am totally sure it is baby.

Will They Ever Break Through?

Poor Hayden has been cutting these same 4 teeth for days now. Last night was rough for him, Mommy and Daddy. Jeffery got home from work and Hayden was crying in his crib. So he changed his diaper and gave him something to drink. That didn't calm Little Man.

I rocked with him for about 20 minutes till he finally was beat and passed out for the rest of the night. This is not our boys normal behavior. You all know how mellow he is. Hopefully they will cut through soon and then give us a bit of a break before the next ones come in, but with the way our children teeth that won't be the case. Haylee had all 20 before she was 2.

'No Way Mommy!'

For the life of me I can't get Haylee to poop on the potty. She tells me every time she needs to go and asks for a diaper. I then ask if she would like to go poop on the potty. Her response 'No Way Mommy'.

Fun in the Sun

Fun in the Sun!

Haylee swimming at a friend's house.

Hayden Took 5 Steps!

Little man is starting to really move! Last night we were cleaning Haylee's room. Well let me clarify Haylee and I were cleaning. Hayden was taking everything we had just put away an throwing it across her room. Men and their messes!

Hayden stood up and walked over to me! He giggled the whole way and when he made it to me, he sat down and started clapping! He was so excited and saw how excited Haylee and I were so that increased his excitement.

I know right now we are super excited for this milestone but soon we will wish he was not mobile again. He is already a tornado while crawling. We don't even want to think the trouble he will get himself into when walking.

I will try to catch this on video and post it later.

The Kiddos

Here are some recent pictures of the kids!

Enjoy!

Here are two of Haylee at the fire station. She got to sit in the engine and spray the hose!

She hasn't stopped talking about the firemen and station since. She wears her plastic helmet they gave to the kids and says 'I'm a fire lady!'

The kids love sitting in baskets. Not sure where their clothes are though. Must have been laundry day.

Hayden in his 'Big Boy' chair! We think he might like it just a little..... What do you think?

Joys of Teething

Our poor little boy has been teething for the past few days. Us Anderson's are over achievers instead of cutting one tooth at a time, we do 4 at a time. He has been miserable and cranky. Just not his normal easy going self.

Let me first say thank goodness for Infant Tylenol, Teeth Tablets, and Baby Orajel. Those are his saving graces.

One of the side effects of his teething is a lot of pooping, and when I say a lot I mean a lot! A few days ago I heard him stirring in his bed, so I figured he was up for the morning. As I got closer to his door there was as strong odor of poop coming from his room. I knew that couldn't be good. I walked into his room and their he was covered head to toe in his poop!

Well I did what any Mom would do I screamed for Jeffery to wake up and come help me. I didn't even know where to start. I went to the bathroom picked out all the toys from the tub and started to warm the water. I knew a full wash down was needed. Jeffery to my surprise had already picked him up and was heading my way.

Side Note: The reason I say to my surprise is because Jeffery has a severe phobia to poop and changing poopy diapers. So for him to pick up a child covered in poop is a huge thing. WAY TO GO JEFFERY!

Well we got him all cleaned up and then tackled his crib. I really wish I would have taken a picture but as you all can probably understand at the time I wasn't thinking Kodak Moment. Our little boy looked like the Incredible Hulk without all the muscles, or like he was at a fancy spa getting a mud mask.... only it wasn't mud.

Ahhhhh yes the Joys of Teething and Parenting!

Reveal Date Set

August 13th at 12:45 we go in for the BIG ULTRASOUND to find out if we will be adding a little girl or little boy to our growing family. 3 weeks seems so far away but I'm sure it will fly by *or at least I hope*.

We had our monthly baby check up and all is going well. Baby's heart beat was a strong 150bpm. The doctor did tell me I have to 'watch the pounds'. You all know I put on some serious weight while pregnant. While pregnant with Haylee and Hayden I put on about 60 lbs each time, luckily I loose it fast. So I took what the doctor said to heart and picked up some Jack in the Box on the way home.

Oh and Haylee said she wants to have a little sister and name her Haylee. Kids are so cute! So maybe we'll have a Haylee II soon!

Our First Blog

Why a blog? I thought this would be a great way to keep friends and family updated on the goings on of our family. I did use a picture sharing site that has since been closed, so I thought a blog would be a great way to show off pictures and post updates on the kiddos.

So please bare with me while I get the hang of this blogging thing.
