Eden's Edition...2 years 3 months!

Eden turned 2 years 3 months on 2/2/17. I thought I had posted about it, but I guess not.

She is 25 pounds and 34 inches tall.

Her name should be "miss independent" because she wants to do everything by herself.

We discovered that she knows how to get water and ice from the fridge dispenser.

She is wearing 24M/2T clothes and size 6 shoes.

She wears size 4 disposable diapers, but has been showing interest in potty training.

Eden always wants to "brush your hair" to anyone who happens to be here.

She can dress and undress herself.

 

I had a memory card go bad, so these are the only pictures from her 2 year 3 month photo shoot that I have.

Keeping Up With Kanaan...3 Year 3 Month Update!

On December 4th Kanaan turned 3 years 3 months old!

He weighs 25lbs 6oz and is 34.75in long.

He is wearing 3T shirts, but can still wear 18m pants. 3T pants are too big around the waist, but are long enough. He pretty much has to wear sweat pants or his pants fall off him, even the 24M/2T ones.

He loves to sing "The Little Drummer Boy", "ABC", "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", "Jesus Loves Me", and the Paw Patrol Theme song.

Paw Patrol is his favorite show, but Veggie Tales is a close second.

Kanaan loves reading.

He is wearing size 4 diapers.

Kanaan is in size 6 shoes.

His favorite foods are mac and cheese, spaghetti or anything with noodles, pizza and  potatoes. 

He also loves fruit. 

He really like the Charlie Brown movies. 

For Christmas he asked for a train and cars. 

His bedtime is at 7pm, but he will usually talk to himself for a few hours before falling asleep. 

He always falls asleep in the middle of the day. He takes a nap when we are home for 2-3 hours, but even if we are out running around he will conk out in the car. 

He wakes up between 6:30 and 7am. 

His favorite books are the Llama Llama Series.

Each night he sleeps with his Elephant, OT (a stuffed dog), his Build A Bear minion "Kevin", and the "Chase" from paw patrol we got him for his birthday. He calls them his kids and will carry all of them around in his arms. 

He calls people kids. For instance if we go somewhere as a family he will say, "There are 4 kids in this car" 

He can mentally count and knows how many of something just by looking. At least up to 4. He may know more, but that's the last one I remember him knowing for sure. 

He can put on his shoes, socks and pants on himself. He still needs a little help with his shirt. 

This isn't new, but he can still recognize and identify the entire uppercase alphabet, as well as name things that start with the letter he's referring to. 

He has a superb memory, and will bring up things from months before. 

He loves to boss his sister around, which she does not appreciate. 

He constantly is taking his shoes and socks off, even on 3 minute car trips. 

He can spell his name, but doesn't want to learn to write it. 

He always asks for ice in his water. 

Sometimes he calls Eden "Edie". 

He loves to do puzzles. 

He always asks for mustard on his "hangabers" aka hamburgers. 

He doesn't like food that is too spicy or "micey" as he called it a few months ago. 

He's always doing crazy acrobatic moves. 

We took the rail off his crib on his birthday and he will stay in his bed until we (or Eden) come to get him in the morning. 

Love you so much Buddy! 

Eden's Edition...2 Year Update!

On November 2, Eden turned 2 years old!!

Eden weighs 24lbs 8oz and is 33in tall. 

She can sing the ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jesus Loves Me, and Happy Birthday. 

She is no longer in a crib, and is doing well in her "big girl" bed. She does go into Kanaan's room when she wakes up. 

Eden is wearing 24M/2T clothes and size 6 shoes. She wears size 4 disposable diapers and Large rise in cloth diapers. 

If we ask her if she is a cutie pie she says "No, Tootie Pie" it's so cute. 

Everything is "My do it" 

Some of her favorite things are "Hair Bears"(Care Bears), Paw Patrol, and Doc McStuffins. 

She is full of attitude and sass. She has two care bears that talk "Grumpy Bear" and "Cheer Bear" I told Andy her Care Bears match her 2 mood options. She is usually one or the other. If she's particularly grumpy, food or sleep usually makes it better. 

She likes to have her hair done and a bow put in. Although she usually takes the bow out in the car if we go anywhere. 

She can undress and dress herself. Often, when I go in to get her up from nap, she has her shirt on backwards or pants inside out. She also will take off her diaper. 

For her birthday she got a grocery cart and she calls it her "car seat". 

She loves Pogo a ton. Pogo mostly just tries to stay as far away from her as possible, unless she is eating. But, she is learning to sit still and pet Pogo, so he is beginning to tolerate her. 

Kanaan is her best friend. They are inseparable. If she falls out of her bed she cries "see Kanaan" and will run to his room instead of ours. I had to take Kanaan to a doctor appointment and she stayed with Andy. We were gone for about 4 hours and they both laughed and hugged for about 5 minutes as soon as we got home. 

I bought a new candle this month and set it on the counter to light later. The next day I couldn't find it and I searched all over. The next day I found it in the bottom of the trash can with bite marks out of it. Apparently, Eden must have smelled it and thought it would taste good. Took a bite out of it, decided it was bad and then threw it away. Now when she see it she says "Mommy's candle right there. Don't eat Mommy's candle, it's yucky. Mommy's candle gets hot"

She has 3 pairs of shoes she prefers to wear, gold sparkly flats, Pink and silver sparkly flats, or black boots with sparkly bows on them. Sometimes when I put her tennis shoes on she will take them off and put on one of the other pairs. Then she cries and cries when I have to switch them back. 

Andy broke his foot, so she is obsessed with owies right now. Several times a day she says "Daddy hurt his feet" "Daddy has owie on his feet" She also claims she has an owie on her finger all the time. Nothing is wrong with her finger, she just wants you to kiss it. 

She is such a firecracker and we love her so much. I can't believe we've had this spunky, fiesty girl for 2 years now!
