2 year stats

Last week Campbell had her 2 year appointment. She is slowly gaining weight but staying with her skinny and tall model stats! She was 24lbs. which was the 20th% and 35 inches which was the 80th%, her head is just perfect at 18.5 inches for the 50th%. Her hair is getting thicker but is still just as curly! She has a large vocabulary and is already speaking in sentences. She loves to sing and dance and really enjoys listening to music. I have to be careful with what kids CDs we listen to in the car because if the kids like them that is ALL they want to listen to - over and over and over again!

Filling Bailey's bowl and probably sneaking a snack too!

A snowy day

About 2 weeks ago we had a snow day, or really a snow/ice weekend! Brandon was out of town for the weekend hunting so me and the kids decided to stay home and stay in. I mean, after all, Carter did have pneumonia with no symptoms! And yes, I am well aware that Carter should not have been outside with pneumonia in 10 degree weather but after the 100th time of him asking, I decided to bundle him up and let him play for 5 minutes outside. Worked like a charm! I did have to drag him in but he never asked again to go back out! He got his wish, I got pictures and we were all happy!

I will throw this snowball at you since you are standing inside taking pictures Mom!

Campbell turns 2

On January 2nd, little Miss Campbell turned 2! My how 2 years have flown by. Seems like just yesterday we were introducing her to Carter and now they are fast learning their roles as siblings! To say that Campbell keeps us on our toes is an understatement. Campbell does everything that Carter did not, including things like eating dog food and taking diapers off at nap time! We love you Campbell and we look forward to all the many adventures that are in store for you . . . and us! We had a nice family day celebrating Campbell's 2 years. My parents, along with my brother's family came over for the day while also Brandon's mom was down here visiting for the week. Campbell is a pro at opening gifts but I think the highlight for her was eating cake! She kept saying, "cake" every time we would mention it or she saw it. What will 2010 hold from our little drama queen - we shall see!

Christmas 2009

Christmas recap

I am so behind on getting Christmas pictures on the blog. The last 2 weeks of December were a long one. Carter was sick for 2 days, followed by Campbell having a touch of sickness, followed by Brandon having a week of sickness and Christmas was in between. Thank you Lord for sparing me and giving me the energy to clean up after everyone! Then came New Year's, Campbell's 2nd birthday, and the grand finale of Carter turning blue on a Sunday morning and after visiting a doctor's office then a hospital for x-rays it was confirmed he has pneumonia! Odd thing is, the only symptom he had was turning blue. He was acting normal, no fever, no cough, no wheezing, no sniffle, no pain, no choking, absolutely nothing! Apparently we caught his double pneumonia very early and fortunately we didn't have to make a mad dash to the ER in the middle of the night. But wow, how am I ever going to know when the child is sick!

Trying to get a picture of the kids on Christmas Eve . . . impossible!

But by themselves is a little easier!
