Potty Update

I just wanted to give an update on Skylee's potty training status. I've finally buckled down and really focused on it this week and she is doing really good. I got to the point where I just couldn't handle her poopy diapers anymore, and Skylee is to the point where she hates getting her diaper changed, so on Saturday I put panties on her and told her "ok, you either go in the potty or all over you and your clothes". She had a couple accidents but got the hang of it really quick. She has pooped in the potty twice and is doing REALLY good about getting to the potty when she needs to pee. She even went at Chili's yesterday. We are getting VERY close to being done with diapers for Skylee and I am sooooooo excited. Justyn even took her to the store to pick out some panties and guess what she picked...out of all the cute panties...little boy spiderman ones. She does look pretty cute in them though :)

Skylee's Dance Recital






Skylee's dance class is over now and to celebrate all that the cute little girls learned, they had a fun dance recital. It was really cute, other than the fact that Skylee wouldn't dance. She saw me and came running over to me and wouldn't go back out with the girls and dance. So we didn't get to see Skylee show off her dance moves, but the other girls did a great job! She did get an award for the "Smiliest Dancer" though. She was excited and had fun anyway.

4 Months Old





Kaisyn is now 4 months old and already weighs more than what Skylee weighed when she turned 1 (she weighed 17.5 pounds). He weighs 18 pounds (95 percentile) and is 27 inches long (99 percentile...but the chart only goes to 99% or else he would be off the chart). He is babbling and squealing like crazy and smiles all the time. He is so happy and content and loves to watch his big sister be silly. He is rolling onto his side now, and is working really hard to roll all the way over. He has turned into a pro thumb sucker, which we aren't really pleased about and try to pull it out whenever we see him sucking it (but sometimes mommy gives in). He is really getting good at using his hands now and is reaching and grabbing for everything. I can't believe how fast he is growing and changing and I am so thankful for how happy and healthy he is. Oh, and I think he's going to keep his big blues...they have only gotten bluer. Yay!!!!

Kaisyn's 1st Concert (outside of mommy's tummy)






We went to the Jack Johnson concert last week, which was Kaisyn's 1st concert since he has been born (we went to Dave Matthews last summer while he was in my tummy). I was a little nervous taking him, but he did really good. He just sat and watched all the people and enjoyed the music, which ended up putting him to sleep.

Jack Johnson Concert



















































































We loaded up the family and went to the Jack Johnson Concert at the USANA Ampitheatre. It was so much fun...even with the kids. Skylee was a dancing nut and had an absolute blast. She had everyone around us laughing. Kaisyn did good too. He liked watching all the people walking by us, and loved the music...which eventually put him to sleep. And on top of all that, Jack was great!

A Day at the Dinosaur Park



































































































































We went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden with some friends from our Ward and Skylee had a blast. She was a little timid at first, but once she saw the other kids going right up to the dinosaurs, then she had to too. She loved running around with all the kids and growling at the dinosaurs. She told me that her favorite dinosaurs were the "baby rino's"...which means baby triceratops.

A Day at the Dinosaur Park





Kaisyn did pretty good at the Dinosaur Park. He mostly just slept, but when he was awake he seemed to be happy to be outside with so many people around.

Kaisyn's 1st Haircut

We decided to give Kaisyn a haircut because he was rubbing bald spots on the sides and back of his head. So we went in the garage and Justyn buzzed the sides and back, and trimmed the top. It looks so much better now!

Davis Fair Baby Contest





We thought it would be fun to enter Skylee and Kaisyn (see Skylee's blog for her pictures) into the baby contest at the Davis County Fair. Neither of them won 1st place, but they both got a certificate and a ribbon. It was fun and they both looked so cute. Notice Kaisyn and Daddy's matching outfits...they for sure should have won (especially since Justyn was the only daddy that took their baby up on stage...what a great dad!).
