Where to start?

I don't really need to state the obvious...it's been awhile since I've blogged. Over 2 months to be exact. It's hard to know where to even start and I feel so bad that I haven't blogged much about Caiden's first year of life. So I'm going to have to do some backtracking, but for now I'm just going to start with this month because I have to say...it's been a pretty great month!

We started it off right with a National Championship win by the Kentucky Wildcats!!

Celebrated Easter,

started swim lessons,

had a special house guest,


celebrated a milestone birthday,


and got so close to trying a first french fry!




It's been a busy month, that's for sure! Easter and swim lessons are going to get their own post but the high light of Adelyn's month was definitely dog sitting Winston for Aunt Corrie. He stayed with us for about a week and was a good little puppy dog. He did not however convince me or Matt that we'd like to have our own dog anytime soon.

This year marked the big 3-0 for me! I enjoyed lots of celebrating with family and friends. The pictures above are from a grown ups only dinner and a girl's plus Caiden birthday lunch. If you ever need someone to celebrate your birthday with you should really find some 3 year olds. They love birthdays! Even if it's not their own. They also know how to give really good presents...

Happy birthday! And Caiden is huge.

The Terrific Two's

Adelyn officially hit the 2 1/2 mark a couple of months ago and oh my, this kid is a mess! She is just so full of life, personality, words, thoughts, opinions, energy, did I mention words? There are days when I'm pretty sure she's trying to reach her 5,000+ words used for the day quota before lunch time and it wears me out! She is also the sweetest, smartest, funniest, most charming 2 year old in the whole world. (In my humble opinion as her mother of course.) Don't get me wrong, she is by no means perfect. The past couple of weeks she's been in rare form but we think the two's are far more terrific than terrible. She is very much into the details and notices everything. She sees those decorative ball things that go on car antennas everywhere. One day she saw a red Mickey Mouse head and told me the reason it's red is because his overalls are red. It's been so neat to hear her start to use logic and reason or give explanations. Adelyn is quite the tease an...

The Chinese Calendar

In less than a week we will find out if Baby Lilly #2 is a boy or a girl. We are excited, anxious, nervous, and can hardly wait! As I'm sure you know, there are countless wives tales people use to predict a baby's gender. My doctor predicted a boy based on the baby's heart rate and Matt's prediciting a girl because "the Lord knows what he needs." When I was pregnant with Adelyn women would tell me I was having a boy because of the way I was "carrying" (even though we already knew she was a girl) and recently I saw a pee on the stick gender predictor kit at Target. One of the more "reliable" gender predictors someone told me about is the Chinese Calendar.  It's based on the mother's lunar age and there are two different calendars to use. So, click on these links, see what it says about your child/children, and come back to vote in my polls (in the left column) about how accurate it was for you! Make sure you vote for each child if yo...

"I have ponytail!"

Yesterday Adelyn wanted me to fix her hair in a ponytail. I can assure you it's much harder than it sounds. Poor kid got my hair. But she doesn't know it and after seeing herself in the mirror she was so proud. The first thing she wanted to do was show daddy. So, we made him a video... At dinner I was lamenting about how grown up she looks and that it makes me kind of sad. Matt's sympathetic response? "Her hair really isn't long enough for a ponytail if you ask me. She looks like a boy from the front and when she turns to the side she looks like a pirate." Ahh, just what every girl wants to hear, "you look like a pirate."
