2015 Funny Stuff Haisley Says

Haisley is saying too many cute things for me to not be writing them down.   I know I have missed some,  so I'm going to start keeping a running list.

February:
She kept throwing wooden blocks across the room.   Finally,  when she disobeyed the 3rd time,  I told her that if she did it again that we would have to go to her room for time out.   She said,  "But I have to keep throwing them,  it's my project.   I didn't get to throw anything all day yesterday."

On the way to the gym..."Mommy, when we get home,  I want a sandwich.   (Pause) Except I don't want ham,  cheese,  or mustard."
Me- "So you want bread?"
Haisley- "Yes, I'll take some bread."

March:
Haisley knows that when we are done praying at night, mommy and daddy leave the room and she has to go to bed.  She has realized that the longer her prayer is, the longer we'll stay in there.  Her most recent prayer was for Jack and Jill, who ran up the hill.

April:
Me-"Haisley, Benton is in your room, can you go check on him?
Haisley-"No because he is ripping and roaring through there."

July :
"Can we please name the baby Tyronee?"

"My hands are sore from pinching people."

Haisley has become increasingly difficult to put to bed at night.   Tonight,  we put her to bed and she started yelling Daddy, daddy.   Mark went in there and Haisley wanted to know why Jesus died on the cross.   She is no fool!   She totally knew he would stay in there and explain it.

Benton at 21 Months

 

This sweet thang is 21 months and a pure bundle of energy.  He makes us laugh, ensures that we never have a dull moment, and lights up our lives!  I had no idea how wild life could be until I had a little boy.  It is so weird calling him a little boy, but that is what he is turning into right before our eyes.  I have never known a child who enjoys life more than Benton does.  He is happy and easy going most of the time!  Some updates on our angel baby...

Teeth:  I mean I seriously have been expecting Benton's 2 year molars to pop up any second, but nothing yet.  He has been chewing on his fingers and acting a little fussy lately, so I figure it won't be long now.  

Eating:  The boy still loves to eat.  I have noticed that he likes milk more nowadays, but we normally just give him one glass a day.  It is safe to say that he will eat just about anything.  His favorite breakfast food is sausage.  There are only a few things that he doesn't like....pb&j sandwich and cheese are the only things coming to mind at the moment.

Talking:  Benton is talking a lot more these days.  He will attempt to say most of the things that you ask him to repeat.  Ball, thank you, momma, daddy, please, dog, truck, sausage, and bat are a few that come to mind.

Tricks:  Benton boy is a dare devil.  He is fearless and has many tricks that make me a nervous wreck!

Size:  I think he weighs about 28 pounds.  He is in 2T clothes, size 5 diapers during the day and size 6 at night.  

Sleeping:  Benton takes a pretty consistent nap from 1-3.  He goes down for bed about 7:30 and (knock on wood) has been sleeping until about 6.  He cries some during the night, but we do not get him.  Hopefully, he will be completely sleeping through the night by the time baby sissy gets here!

JJ gave the babies a ride in the baby pool!  They LOVED it!

4th of July 2015

We had a very busy, but fun, 4th of July this year!  Saturday morning, we woke up early (as usual), and headed to see the Wood's at the lake.  Haisley was so excited to be spending time with her friends, and Bama Park did not disappoint.  We arrived in time for the golf car parade.  Haisley got to ride in the parade and has been talking about it ever since.  After the parade we played in the lake then took a boat ride.  We enjoyed our time there so much!  After we left, we went to the farm to visit Nana and Granddaddy for a bit.  We finished the night with fireworks.  Haisley was not a fan, she ended up sitting the car with Daddy.  Benton enjoyed them, but was mainly just tired!

The boys were having a blast in every single puddle that they came across. 

And Benton thoroughly enjoyed his snow cone!

30 Weeks

We went last week to check on our sweet baby girl!  We had an ultrasound and everything still looks great.   She is 3 lbs, 6 oz, in the 45% for weight.   We did find out that she is breech, but Dr. Alverson assured us that there was plenty of time to turn!   Of course I immediately went to yoga and did upside down flips in the pool!  Ha!  We go back next week!

Baby Girl

We had an appointment last week to check on our sweet baby girl!  She is moving all over the place and I LOVE it!  Everything went fine at my appointment.  Her heart rate was 156 bpm.  I am scheduled to have an ultrasound in next week.  We are already going every 2 weeks now.  It won't be long before we meet this sweet baby girl!  We are close to picking a name, still not ready to say for sure!  You are already so loved baby girl!!

Benton is 20 Months

Our sweet baby is 20 months!  Time slow down!  Benton's personality is coming out more each day.  He has such a sweet heart, he is easy going, quick to give a hug, and just a pure joy to our family.  Unless he is tired or hungry, he rarely cries.  Some updates on our love bug...

Eating:  Baby boy still loves to eat.  There isn't much that he doesn't like besides cheese.  He still loves tomatoes, applesauce, yogurt, strawberries, pickles, pancakes, and any type of meat.  

Sleeping:  We put him in the bed awake and he goes to sleep no problem, for nap and bedtime.  He, in no form, sleeps through the night.  He literally cries all night.  We do not go get him unless the crying goes on for hours.  It is absolutely ridiculous, hopefully he'll grow out of it????  

Talking:  Benton is literally talking more by the day.  We love hearing what he has to say!

Tricks:  Ya know, jumping off of anything, giving me a heart attack.  If this sweet baby has teeth by the time he is 3, it'll be a miracle.  Matter-of-fact, he has already chipped his front tooth.  

Teeth:  No new teeth, but I think he is cutting his 2 year molars. 

VBS 2015

This year was Haisley's first experience with VBS and she LOVED it!!  She is still enjoying listening to the VBS CD and doing all the motions.  This year, the kids brought in money and toys to donate to a special needs orphanage in Haiti.  Aunt Ashley had the brilliant idea to have a lemonade stand and donate the money to the children in Haiti.  The kids raised over $100 to donate and had a BLAST!!
