KIDDO UPDATE

CARLY PAIGE
OH OUR SWEET CARLY. SHE HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN AND SHE DEFINITELY MAKES US LAUGH ALL DAY. SHE IS SUCH A LITTLE GIRL NOW AND LOVES ANYTHING PRINCESS. IF WE HAVE TO GIVE HER HER MEDICINE..THE ONLY WAY SHE WILL TAKE IT IS IF WE CALL IT HER PRINCESS JUICE. SHE HAS BEEN DOING SO GOOD POTTY TRAINING. WE HAVE HAD A FEW SET BACKS BECAUSE OF TRIPS AND "POOPING" ISSUES, BUT OTHER THEN THAT SHE IS DOING GREAT!!! SHE IS ABOUT 32POUNDS AND ONE SOLID GIRL. SHE STILL LOVES MILK...PROBABLY MORE THEN HER OWN MOM...TE HE HE!!! SHE IS SUCH A SWEET SISTER AND ALWAYS WANTS TO MAKE SURE BRODY "GETS ONE". I LOVE THAT ABOUT HER. IT IS SO FUN WATCHING HER GROW AND LEARN. SHE IS DOING SO GOOD IN NURSERY AND NORMALLY DOESN'T EVEN CRY WHEN WE DROP HER OFF. MAYBE A LITTLE WINE, BUT NO CRY! HER NEWEST THING IS ASKING "WHAT'S THAT" AND SHE LOVES TO READ. SHE ALSO LOVES TO SING SONGS AND PERFORM WHAT SHE HAS LEARNED IN "PLAY SCHOOL". CARLY STILL ENJOYS JUMPING ON THE TRAMP AS MUCH AS SHE CAN, AND THE OTHER DAY SHE STARTED DOING TOE TOUCHES. I DIDN'T EVEN TEACH HER SHE JUST LEARNED FROM WATCHING THE GIRLS THAT I COACH. JOHNNY AND I WERE LAUGHING BECAUSE SHE STARTED DOING IT ON HER OWN. WELL HERE ARE A FEW OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAVE TO DOCUMENT FOR JOURNAL PURPOSES...ENJOY!!!

PAPA-CARLY IS THAT YOUR BELLY BUTTON?
CARLY-YES
PAPA-WHO ELSE HAS A BELLY BUTTON?
CARLY-BRODY
PAPA-WHO ELSE?
CARLY-DADDY (SHE CONTINUED TO NAME A BUNCH OF NAMES)
PAPA-DOES MOMMY HAVE A BELLY BUTTON?
CARLY-NO MOMMY HAS BOOBIES

MOMMY-CARLY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
CARLY-OH JUST HANGING OUT!!

*CARLY WAS SO OBSESSED WITH JOEY'S DANCE. FOR DAYS SHE WOULD GO AROUND AND TELL ME EVERYTHING JOEY DID IN HIS DANCE. WELL WEEKS WENT BY AND I WALKED INTO THE PANTRY ROOM SINGING "IF YOU WANT IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT". CARLY THEN SAID "MOM THAT'S JOEY'S SONG". I COULDN'T BELIEVE SHE KNEW WHAT SONG JOEY DANCED TO!!!

*THE OTHER DAY WE DECIDED TO GO IN THE BACK YARD AND TRY TO GET A LITTLE SUN. CARLY LOVES JUMPING ON THE TRAMP WITH THE HOSE. I WAS JUST LAYING ON A TOWEL READING A MAGAZINE WHEN I LOOK OVER AT CARLY AND SHE HAD THE HOSE INSIDE OUR HOUSE. THANK GOODNESS IT WAS ONLY FOR A SECOND!! I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY.

I KNOW THERE ARE MANY MORE MOMENTS THAT I CAN'T THINK OF RIGHT NOW, BUT HOPEFULLY THEY WILL COME TO ME. WE SURE LOVE OUR LITTLE SUNSHINE AND ARE SO PROUD OF HER












YA I KNOW, THIS IS ONE UGLY DOLL!!! HEHEHE!!! CARLY THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WAS COACHING PUT LOTION ALL OVER IT AND THEN TOOK IT TO JOHNNY AND TOLD HIM ALL CLEAN DADDY, ALL CLEAN!!!

BRODY NELSON

WOW BRODY IS GROWING UP. HE IS THE MOST ACTIVE CHILD!! HE HAS SO MUCH ENERGY AND KEEPS US ON OUR TOES. HE LOVES TO CLIMB ON EVERYTHING. WE PUT HIM ON THE COUCH AND HE WILL CLIMB UP THE COUCH AND STAND ON THE WINDOW SILL AND BANG ON THE WINDOW AT CHE IF HE IS OUTSIDE. WHEN HE WANTS DOWN HE JUST LETS GO AND FALLS FROM THE TOP ONTO THE COUCH...IT STILL SCARES ME TO DEATH. HE STARTED WALKING AT ABOUT 13 MONTHS AND INSTEAD OF WALKING HE WENT STRAIGHT TO RUNNING. I'M NOT JOKING!! HE LOVES TO PLAY OUTSIDE AND GETS SO MAD IF YOU SHUT THE DOOR SO HE CAN'T. HE NOW IS SAYING "CHE" OR "CHE-CHE" FOR OUR DOGGIE. HE LOVES HIM SO MUCH. BRODY AND CHE LOVE TO WRESTLE, AND HE THINKS ITS SO FUNNY. BRODY ALSO KNOWS WHEN WE GO TO MY MOM AND DADS HOUSE. WHEN I PULL UP HE GETS ALL EXCITED AND CAN'T STOP SMILING. HE IS SLEEPING REALLY GOOD THROUGH THE NIGHT. HE GOES TO BED AROUND 7 AND WAKES UP AROUND 7. AT HIS 1 YEAR CHECK-UP HE WAS IN THE 35% FOR WEIGHT AND I THINK THE 75% FOR HEIGHT. I KNOW SO WEIRD, JOHNNY AND I HAVE TALL KIDS? HE ALSO LOVES LOVES LOVES FOOD. HE WILL EAT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING AND IS JUST LIKE HIS BIG SISTER, HE LOVES HIS MILK. BRODY IS STILL A MOMMY'S BOY AND I AM TOTALLY FINE WITH THAT (WINK-WINK)!! HE STILL ONLY HAS THE FOUR TEETH ON TOP AND THE TWO ON THE BOTTOM. WE SURE LOVE HIM , HE BRINGS A SMILE TO OUR FACES EVERY DAY.
