Out & About

Let the holiday outings begin!! lol! As always, the holidays are very busy for us. And what would the holidays be without a visit with the big guy?! We met Kendall's friends Eli, Reese, Makenzie and Madison at Bass Pro Shop to visit Santa. It was SOOO darn cute. Definitely making this a new holiday tradition. The setup was adorable and they had crafts and all kinds of holiday decorations. Plus, the store itself is so fun for the kids (except the fact that there are taxidermy dead animals everywhere, we asked, and YES they were real! Creepy.)
After our photos with Santa, we played around a while and then had dinner at the restaurant there, which was somewhat of a challenge with all those kiddos. But it was a really fun night!








We also went to see the lights at the McCormick Stillman Railroad Park up in Scottsdale. They light up the train and the park and it looks really cute. However, the line to get on the train was about an hour and a half long, so we just went on the smaller train and walked around instead.






I asked Kendall to turn around so I could take her picture on the train, and THIS is the face she made! I think it's hysterical!





Of course, what would the cooler weather be without a trip to the zoo?! We met a few friends there one day and had a blast, the weather was SO perfect.



LOVE this one of Kendall picking her wedgie! omgosh!!







We had a pie tasting playdate at Adrianna's house, and Adrianna french braided the girls' hair. I am HORRIBLE at it so I loved having her do this. The girls were pretty excited too!



LOTS more holiday fun photos to come!!! We've got a busy week ahead and Christmas will be here sooooooon! Hope you are having a special holiday season! ;)

Keira 2 month pics

Keira has been growing SO fast, and she is changing so much already! At two months, she is smiling and cooing, and seriously just gets cuter every day. I am so in love with her, (and a little obsessed! lol!) She loves being held, especially in the evenings. She is awake from about 5pm-11pm, then wakes up around 6am to feed, goes back to sleep until at least 9am. Then she naps throughout the day. Her busy time is in the evenings though.
She still REFUSES to take a bottle, which is causing mommy some distress :( I really could use some freedom, and the situation makes it really hard for me to make any plans. I volunteered at Kendall's school one morning recently, and was worried the whole time about her. I have tried every bottle, nipple, pacifier, you name it. She just gags and acts like she has no idea what to do with it. (and if I don't have a girlie night out involving some cocktails SOON, I might go crazy!)

Here's her stats from her doctor appointments so far:
10/1/10 (5 days old) 7.5 lbs, 20 inches long, 13.78 head circumference
10/27/10 (1 month) 9.75 lbs, 21.75 inches long, 15.25 head circumference
12/2/10 (2 months) 11.38 lbs, 23.25 inches long, 15.75 head circumference
She's about average for weight, but pretty high percentile for her length and head circumference! My big girl!








my loves...

Recently I've had way too much fun with my camera taking pictures of Keira. Now that I have two children to photograph and go crazy with pictures over, I feel like my computer is going to pop up any day now as I'm uploading and say "MEMORY FULL...If you upload one more picture of these kids, your external hard drive will explode" Haha!!
