*You've seen Santa a few times, and either sleep or just stare at him :)

*You wear size 3T in Jammies, and 2T in clothes.

* You wear size 5 diapers and every time I ask if you want to sit on the potty you say no.

* You absolutely LOVE your sister. It's almost annoying because you have to do everything she does.  (Just the other day Adi got out the van on the left side door and Brantley was all but going out the right, well once he saw her get out he freaked out and ran to that side)

*You only say a few words: Mom, Dad, Up, Down, Moo(for Cow),More, Done, Ball, Bye, NO, Boo(Boots), Tree(Treat, thank you trick or treating)

*You love nursery: Billy & Susie Christiansen, Loraine Thomas, Cecilia Atkinson are the best nursery leaders!

* He loves to ride the tractor with Dad, most of the time you take a nap out there with him. But you could spend all day out there. 

*You love Sampson, you give him hugs and kisses all the time(sometimes I have to be careful because you will let Sampson lick your tongue .. gross)

*He loves balls-He’ll play catch with you all day!

*He has a major temper. Throws the most fits and worse fits I've ever seen a little human do! Sometimes I just can't even figure out what to do. There is no controlling you or calming you. It's so stressful. Sometimes I'll try holding you and you’ll scream for 10 minutes straight, sometimes I leave you, sometimes I try to laugh at you, sometimes I make you hug me, sometimes you scream so much you will throw up.  You’re worse fit yet was at pizza pie cafe, mom and Nicole both tried everything to calm you and nothing worked, You just screamed at the top of your lungs and everyone stared at me. Afterwards you will give me a hug and just whimper- It makes me sad and sometimes like a terrible mom.

*You dropped a 5lb weight on your toe and broke your toe nail. Since then Adi dropped a tractor on that same toe and you only have half a toe nail.

*You are SO GOOD at your balance bike, you love to go up and down hills, and can ride forever.

*You are starting to fight your nap, however you still need it and usually will sleep 2 hours, if not always 1. 

*You are so mean to your baby sister Chloe. You start nice, and give her a kiss and then end up smashing her face with your head.

*You know where your head, nose, eyes, belly, hair, ears and etc are.. When I ask about your elbows and shoulders you act a little confused still. 
*You’ve had a couple sleep overs away from mom and dad-At Bammas, and The Hardys.

*You love to ride on the 4-wheeler or Razor. When we go up and down hills you get the biggest grin on your face!

*You’re learning how to dance, jump, and run. All are soo cute to watch.

*You love to be outside. You are so content and so much happier when you can be. 

*You don’t need to be playing with other kids, sometimes you’re much more content and happy by yourself. You love to follow Adi and her friends around though.

*You LOVE anything with Wheels, Tractors, Balls or anything boy. You still love to grab a baby and push her around in the stroller as well.

Chloe 3 Months

 Little Chloe Girl

You are 3 Months old and coming into this world strong! A little about you this month!

*You wear a size 1 diaper.

*By far my snuggliest baby! You love being held and snuggled up tight.

*You've been my whinest baby! For awhile we couldn't figure out what the matter was, your cried and cried for no reason. The doctor thought you had reflux/colic but I never got the medicine and you ended up getting better. Who knows what it was. You want to eat an ounce or two almost every hour.  

*The doctor had us try a sample of formula and we did it for about a week and it clogged you up so bad, I've never seen you more upset. Your poor belly was so hard! We switched you back and you went poop right away. I remember saying I'd never use those nosa frida nose suckers because I thought they were so gross, but you were so clogged and I actually used the Windi! (the ones you stick up your butt)

*You are terrible at nursing. Everytime you go to latch on you start screaming and refuse. I stopped nursing and had been pumping, but I'm moving towards more formula because I have a hard time pumping, and feeding. It takes so much time. It makes me a little sad you are so bad, because I like nursing but this time not as much. You do still nurse at night, for some reason when your half asleep you will latch on and not have problems.

*You are the smiliest baby! I love it! People just talk to you and you smile!

*You are in your crib now. Once you get to sleep around 10 you sleep till 4 or 5 and then up again around 8 or 9. 

*Your not really on a set schedule for naps yet. Just frequent.

*You got diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia and have to wear the Wheaton-Pavik Harness. Right now your ball and socket are shallow and aren't sitting together like they should. So the brace should pull them together. You have to wear it for 23/24 hours a day for 3 weeks straight. Then we go get reevaluated and see if you've improved. You seems to be doing pretty good!

-You love to sit facing out so you can see others.

Weekend Getaway-Cornbellies

Chloe had a follow up appointment down at Shriners for her foot again. Basically her foot is better, she had an ultrasound on her hips(effects caused by her foot)- Her ball & socket are so close to being where they need to be(44 and need to be 50).  We have to go down again in two weeks and if it's better we don't have to do anything else. If it hasn't changed she will be in a brace.. 

While we were down there we met up with some friends from college. We love the Woods, I wish they lived closer! We have kids the same age and gender and it works perfect!

We started off the weekend at South Jordan Aquatic Center! It was so much fun! They have this shallow area with a jungle gym on it and the kids could play and slide. Then they had a lazy river that had a current that just slowly carried the kids, with a whirlpool, and a big slide for the adults! All in all we had a good time and spent almost 2 hours swimming! Chloe wasn't a big fan, spent maybe 10 minutes in there and then was done. Luckily we got her to sleep and she slept in the stroller the rest of the time!

We rented an AirBnB and it was so perfect! It was awesome, so big and so fun for the kids to be able to hang out together more!The next morning we were able to sleep in, cook breakfast together, and head out!

^We went on a run and ran past the American Falls temple.. It was super pretty, we didn't have a phone so we asked a random girl to take a picture for us and send it to us. She was a little skeptical but did anyways!

We went to Cornbellies and it was so much fun! There was so much to do for the kids, and even the adults.. They had yummy food, and yummy treats! The kids even got to trick or treat so that was fun!

This was literally so heavy, me and Whit alone could not move it. 

The wind picked up towards the end and was insane! 

But we still spent about 5 hours there! It was a lot of fun!!!

Thanks Tyrel and Whit for the fun weekend!
