The Great Outdoors...

All last week Kaileigh begged me to take her to the park. It was just too hot to take her and Aubrie but finally on Saturday it cooled down to the mid 80's. She couldn't wait to go. Here are a few pictures of Kaileigh in all her glory.

In this picture Kaileigh was saying "get out of my house".


Kaileigh has stopped taking a nap in the afternoon but as you can see she was definitely tired, she even asked to go to bed that night!

Feed Me...

Aubrie's first time in her high chair!

What in the world are you trying to give me Mom!

Uhh...YUCK!

Maybe if I pretend I'm asleep she won't feed me anymore of that mush.

So...Aubrie turned four months on Sunday...I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! On Friday I went to the store and decided to pick up some baby cereal for Aubrie to try, they say you can try rice cereal anywhere between four and six months, so on Saturday we tried it and she did not like it at all. Actually she feel asleep after the first spoonful. We haven't given it to her since but may try it again this weekend. It's funny, I was telling Rusty that a lot of parents put cereal in their child's bottle to help them sleep at night and I guess it's true...she zonked out after one bite.

It was SO HOT last week! Once the sun started going down we went outside and Kaileigh had fun with water balloons.

Summertime Fun!

Last weekend we were so excited to have Papa, Nana Lori and Aunt Ashley visit us! Here are a few pictures from our weekend together.

Sleepy Head...

So...Kaileigh had yet another restless night on Friday night, along with Mommy and Daddy. It all started around 11:30 p.m. and ended around 4:30 a.m. Poor little thing, she seemed so tired yesterday. What happened...Rusty and I kept trying to put her back in her bed but she would get out and cry for Mommy and Daddy. After about one hour of straight crying and waking up Aubrie, I finally caved and slept in her room until the morning. I know they say put your foot down but I was exhausted, she was exhausted and everyone needed at least a few hours of sleep.

Yesterday I met my Mom in Williamsburg and dropped Kaileigh off until Tuesday. I was sad to see her go, she's my sweet little girl. My Mom said she would not put Kaileigh in her bed, my Mom's, but would try to keep putting her back in her own bed. Well, I talked with my Mom this morning and after Kaileigh woke up around 1:30 a.m. and cried for about thirty minutes, Grandma gave in, she ended up making a bed for her at the foot of her bed. I guess they all needed a little sleep as well. I'm planning on calling the Pediatrician on Monday to see if he has any suggestions. She is so pitiful looking when she doesn't get her sleep and clumsy, she even fell down the stairs on Friday night, bless her heart. She is having a great time with Grandma and Pappy though. Today she is helping Grandma usher at church and then either going to the bay or the aquarium. Tomorrow their going to the zoo. Thanks Mom! Here are a few pictures of Kaileigh as we leave to meet Grandma. Enjoy!

Love Always,

Little Rascal...

Oh my goodness...so, Aubrie is sleeping great, she is like clock work, she gets very cranky around 7:30 indicating to us "I'm hungry so please feed me and then put me down to sleep". Usually she's asleep by 8:00 p.m. and wakes up around 4 or 5 a.m. to eat and then she'll go back to bed. Kaileigh on the other hand, a.k.a. my Little Rascal, is fighting bedtime and now nap time. It all started last Thursday. She was terrified to go to sleep on Thursday, she would not even let me put her down, she clung to me for dear life. After about 30 minutes of hysterical crying Rusty and I felt bad for her and put her in bed with us, A BIG NO NO. Well, since then she'll get up about 3 times a night crying and wanting her back rubbed until she dozes off. The book Toddler Years says to let them cry it out. Well, with a soon to be 4 month old sleeping in the room next door, you don't want two screaming children so we give in a rub her back until she falls asleep. And this refusing to take naps...she needs them! She is unbearably cranky when she doesn't get one. I met a Mom at the pool yesterday with a 2 year old son and 5 1/2 month old and she's having the same problem. With him, she let him cry it out, for 5 1/2 HOURS, 4 NIGHTS IN A ROW, no thank you! Thank goodness for coffee ;0). This weekend Kaileigh is staying with my Mom, from Saturday to Tuesday, I'm going to miss her but will enjoy the sleep. Maybe when she comes back home she will have forgotten all about her sleeping spells. I can't blame her or get mad, I think she feels a little bit left out with Aubrie and she sees her nighttime visits as alone time with Mommy and Daddy. I guess this too shall pass...
Love,
