Solids

March Madness

Keeping boys entertained without things that plug-in

One of my favorite purchases for Kendall

Such a big girl!

Olivia Fults and Kendall were each others back rests. Olivia is a month older than Kendall.

Kendall is finally old enough for kids club at 24. Mom and Dad can get more gym time in, hurray!!

Another classic "Mom take a picture of us" moment

Poor Mama pushing all three in a two kid stroller back to the car. Luke was passed out in the bottom so I decided against the tram back bc I didn't want to get him out to fold up the stroller. Exhausting day!


Attempting Potty Training

I decided to try with Luke. He picked out some cool Skylander underwear and seemed excited. It was a cold rainy day so the setting was perfect.  I set the timer to go off every 15 minutes. In a 6 hour time frame he went pee on the floor 5 times, never in the toilet. I admitted defeat and will try again in a few months. I had to post his cute little bottom though anyway. =)




"Hey Mom, take a picture of me and Kendall." Something I hear quite often.








And Carson wanted to have a turn with the camera too of course

Kendall 5 Month Update




I am quite the conversationalist. I love to communicate and be part of conversations. My brothers think it is so funny when I “talk” with them. I have finally outgrown my 3 month clothing. I’m getting bigger and bigger each day. My thighs even have a few rolls now. =)


I rolled from my stomach to my back once. I hate being on my tummy and Mom never remembers to have me do it, so I haven’t had much opportunity. I am good at supporting my body weight on my legs and like to stand on laps and talk to the person holding me. I am just starting to realize the joy of putting things in my mouth. It’s hard sometimes though because my hand eye coordination isn’t perfect yet. 


I have had rice cereal a few times and I think I like it. I’ve sucked on cantaloupe, an apple and a banana and really loved those! I am still a amazing night time sleeper. Sometime I sleep until 7am, and sometimes I’m up a few times, but for the most part I wake up in the early hours to eat and go back to sleep for a few more hours. Mom has given up on leaving the house so I can have quality sleep during the day. I’m still trying to figure out how to be a good napper. Some days I take multiple 45 minute naps and am very grumpy and other days I take 2-3 2-3-hour naps and am much happier. 

I really am a beautiful little thing and my family loves me so much!

Girls Weekend Getaway

Last weekend Kendall and I flew to my parents house for the weekend. I was in desperate need for a break from my kids (well, two of them at least.) Becky and Laura are both living there and it was fun to spend time with a few of my sisters. Mom got us tickets for Time Out for Women in Long Beach. Time Out for Women is a inspirational Friday night-Saturday day event with inspirational/motivational speakers and music. It was nice to re-charge. All things considered Kendall was a good girl. It was a nice break from the chaos my life has become. I wish it was longer, but I am needed at home. =) A big thank you to Steve for playing Mommy and Daddy to the boys and my friend Sandra for watching them while he was at work. I don't know if the boys were more excited to see me or Kendall when we got back Sunday. I do have to say Luke was very darling and couldn't stop hugging and kissing me. He can be such a lover when he wants to be.

I love my family and wished we lived closer, but luckily we're able to visit often!
