Brynn's 2 Month Check Up

Last week we went to Brynn's 2 year check up but technically she was 2 months and 9 days.  So her stats are going to be different than the other 2 kids but oh well, what do you do?  Here are her stats

Length - 22 inches 19.28%
Weight - 10.71 lbs 26.97%
Head - 14.25 inches 3.02%

She is pretty much the smallest baby we have ever had!  Really cute and petite.  We'll have to see how long she stays that way.  She is getting some really chubby cheeks and a double chin!  Well I think she's always had that double chin.  But she is adorable and such a good baby.  She hardly ever cries and she is sleeping 6-8 hours a night.  We finally got her switched over to her crib so now she and Makenna share a room.  So far it's working out good so hopefully it stays that way. 

When she got her shots they really affected her.  She cried for almost 3 hours straight and she had a hard time eating or sleeping or being held.  Pretty much nothing would comfort her.  She also ran a slight temperature of 100 degrees but thankfully she was doing better by the next day.  The doctor said everything looked great.  He was concerned about her head being so small but he checked it and said they will just check it again at her next check up and hopefully things are okay.  Other than that she's perfect! 

She is smiling and cooing and it is just so cute!  She will just look at you when you talk to her and try and move her mouth with yours.  It's so cute.  I've tried to get a picture of her smile but I can never get a good one.  So the top picture was an attempt to get a smile.  She loves to lick her hands.  We're lucky she's not sucking on them!  And this bottom pic is of the cutest kids ever!  I'm not biased at all am I!

Brynn's Blessing

Last week we had Brynn's blessing and all I can say is her dress was simply adorable!  It was so cute and she looked so cute in it!  Weston gave a very nice blessing and Brynn was such a good baby during it.  She was even awake the whole time and didn't make a peep!  She's the best baby.  But she did start to arch her back in the middle of it so Weston was worried about that but it all ended up going great!  We then had everyone over for a little lunch and it was fun to be with everyone and celebrate Brynn.  Thanks so much to everyone who came and support us and Brynn.  Brynn is so lucky to have so many people who care about her and we love you all!  Thanks!

 The three kiddo's.  Aren't they adorable!

 Our little princess for the day!  Isn't her dress gorgeous!

 Weston finally got around to hanging our pictures at 10:00 the night before.  He did an amazing job and now we don't have a big ugly white wall!

Makenna fell asleep holding Brynn that day.  It was so cute!  Good thing Weston was close by so he could catch her!

Easter Outfits

Happy Easter!

Brynn spit up on her dress and she hadn't even been wearing it 5 minutes!  But she was still so adorable!

Aren't these the cutest kids you've ever seen!  My mom made the girls' dresses and they turned out so cute!

Easter Time!

We had a crazy weekend with tons of Easter Festivities.  We had egg hunts at both Grandparent's houses and then the Easter bunny came to our house this year.  Makenna and Kason were so cute and had tons of fun.  Kason would just grab anything he saw and Makenna, well she was basically chasing butterflies as we call it at our house.  She didn't get as many as everybody else but she didn't care.  She was just having fun being there and watching.  Here are some pics!

Kason liked to open every egg and dump it out once he found them

The Easter Bunny sure can jump high and hide those eggs!

Kason figured out he could get more eggs if he just held them all under his chin. Just like Gus, Gus on Cinderella!

Makenna finally found her Easter basket.  The Easter bunny hide hers really hard under the pillows and blankets

Brynn and her Easter basket.  She didn't get much this year.  Poor girl!  She even slept through the fun egg hunt.

They each got a kite and Makenna wanted to fly hers.  She did really good and had lots of fun!

Thanks everyone for making it such a fun weekend!  We hope everyone had a great Easter too!

Random Update

Weston told me the other day that I haven't updated the blog recently so I thought I should post something.  So this might be a little random but here is an update of all of us.

Weston and Katrina

Weston is back from Washington and we are so glad that he is.  There is talk of him heading to Vegas in May but with this company I've learned that you never know for sure until about a week before he is supposed to leave.He is the best dad and gets up every night and changes Brynn's diaper and then I'll feed her.  He even let me go to bed last night at 9:45 and he stayed up with Brynn and then put her to bed.  He is just amazing!  I have been just trying to get back into the swing of things.  I've actually even made dinner a few times!  I've tried to start jogging again but that's kind of hard with three kids so I've only been twice.  Hopefully next week I'll start taking some classes at the good ol' Legacy Center.  So if anyone wants to come with me please let me know.  It is so much easier and a lot more fun going with someone.

Makenna

I found a cute new braid to do and I tried it today.  It is called an uneven braid.  It's kind of hard to see in the pictures but I thought they turned out really cute.  Her hair is more than half way down her back.  I'm going crazy with it because I don't like long hair and I don't know what to do with it.  I think once it's summer time I'm chopping it off.  That's if I last that long!

Makenna is loving preschool and is so excited for kindergarten.  It is all she can talk about.  Well that and every holiday she can think of.  Easter. St Patricks Day, her birthday, foam days, the 4th of July and Fathers Day.  Never mind Mothers day, it's just Fathers Day she cares about!  I know, I know Weston is the greatest. :) No really he is, he is everybody's favorite around here.  Now, back to Makenna.  She loves, loves, loves dance and is taking at two different studios this year.  She is so excited for dance recital.  She also loves to play with friends and she loves dessert.  She is such a girly girl and loves pink and purple, and having her nails painted.  She has even started coming shopping with me.  Well, that is if I buy her a new shirt or something, then she enjoys coming with me.  She has also started with emotional drama and moodiness.  She's always been more pleasant with Weston than with me but now it is the full force girl moodiness.  It's actually really funny sometimes.  So even with all the emotional drama she has been such a good helper with Brynn.  She loves helping me and holding her.  She is so good to play with her and give her, her binky again so I can get ready in the mornings.  She is great and I'm so glad she is willing to help me out.

Kason

Isn't that the cutest boy you've ever seen?  He wanted a picture of his new flip flops.  He's still not sure if he likes them but he does like stinkin' cute in them.  Well the big news with him is he's potty trained!  Finally!!!  I started a few months ago but it was so hard when I was pregnant.  So we started again maybe two weeks ago and it sure was hard with Brynn but he is doing awesome!  He still doesn't like to tell mom he has to go so I have to just take him a lot.  But if your grandma or dad he will tell you and it is a whole lot easier.  I don't know what it is about my kids but the like to rebel against their mom!  I was so tired of changing 20 messy diapers a day between two kids so one day I told Kason I wasn't buying any more diapers.  So instead I went to Target and bought a bunch of dollar "prizes" and a couple bags of candy.  When he goes number 1 he gets a treat and when he goes number 2 he gets a toy or prize.  The reward system has really helped with him.  He's done great and even wakes up from naps dry.  Such a good boy.  And now that he's potty trained he gets to eat fruit.  And boy does he love fruit!  He gets so excited for apples, strawberries, pineapple and mandarin oranges.

 
Brynn

This little sweetheart is now 6 weeks old and is the best baby I have ever met!  She only cry's when she is hungry or needs a diaper change and she is so happy!  She has started smiling and she even rolled over twice from her stomach to her back!  She loves tummy time, her brother and her sister, napping in her swing and playing under her gymini play mat.  She has been sleeping about 6 hours at night for about 2 weeks now and it is wonderful.  Her active time of day is between 9-11 at night.  She is such a night owl but she is still simply the best baby ever!  She looks like both the kids.  She looks like Makenna with a bow on and looks like Kason when she doesn't have a bow on.  It's pretty funny.  But we sure do love her and are so glad she is apart of our family!

4 Weeks Old

Brynn is now 4 weeks old!  I can't believe it!  I feel like she just got here but at the same time I feel like she has always been with us.  It's crazy to think about it.  But I really think that she has been our best behaved child so far.  She doesn't scream or cry very much and she seems to have an easy going personality.  She goes with the flow of things and she doesn't get bothered by her older siblings.  Especially when they wake her up!  Nights are her most active period.  She will lay awake and play or she will just cuddle in our arms and stare into space.  It's hard having her up late at night but at least she's being well behaved.  That definitely makes it easier to stay up with her.  She eats really well but she does not like it when I eat spicy food, chocolate, or garlic.  She's got a little double chin and I can see her cheeks getting a little chubby.  She's just so cute!  Also she is getting really strong and likes to hold her head up off our shoulders.  She doesn't object to tummy time very much but she loves laying under her gymini and watching her toys.  I just can't believe that she is such an amazing baby.  I better knock on wood and hope she stays that way!
