Christmas/New Year

It's been awhile since I've updated or posted any pictures. So here goes...

The kids had a great Christmas and received a TON of toys!! We just had Jayna's 2nd birthday party this past Saturday. I still can't believe she will be 2 on Wednesday. Her and daddy are planning on going to the mall to Build-a-Bear and then to ride the horses (there is a huge carousel in our mall). We are also starting to potty train. She started it on her own and we've been going with it. She is doing great...hopefully it won't be too long until we are out of diapers with her.

Jace is doing very well too! He has 6 teeth with some more ready to pop through any day now! He has been trying to crawl the real way but gets around in his own way (I'll have to get a video of it, it's hilarious) although he'd rather be standing. I don't think it will be long until he is cruising furniture and walking! I think he has officially out weighed his sister! He was 22 lbs the other day on our home scale...Jayna has yet to hit 22 lbs. on the same scale!

Here are some pictures.

Jayna with her big cupcake Grammy made!

Jayna in her princess outfit Great Granny (with a stick) sent her!


Jayna on her bike outside! She isn't quite tall enough, but she manages to get around on it.

Jace with his sock monkey.

Jayna with some skirts on. Great Granny sent these to her and she decided to put one on the right way and the other two around her neck!

Jayna and Jace playing blocks. Jace loves his big sister!

And a couple of Jace asleep....he's getting WAY too heavy to carry and way too big to lay in the carts now!

Here are some pics from Halloween!

October

The kids are both doing well! Jace is growing like crazy still. He is up to about 19 lbs...so catching up to Jayna pretty quickly! We finally have two teeth as well. The first one popped through this past Tuesday and the second one on Friday! Here are some pictures from the past month or so!

Jayna on the pony ride at the Pumpkin Festival.

Jayna at the pumpkin patch at the festival. She was so tired by this point!

She did not like the hay!!!!

We ran out real quick the other day and Jayna was crying for a drink...I didn't even have a bottle of water on me (which I usually carry one, but with a quick trip thought we'd be okay), so the only thing I had was Jace's bottle with water in it. It made her happy until we got home at least!

Halloween costumes....we are going to put Jayna's hair up (if she'll let us) and they each have matching bags for candy!

These two are so close! Jayna loves her little brother and Jace adores his big sister!

This is what happens when Jayna decides she is too big to take naps!

And again...

Jace in the Wisconsin Badgers onesie Aunt Laura and Uncle Larry gave us after Jayna was born.

And here is Jayna wearing it (at around 1 year!).

The past few weeks have been busy! We went over to Cocoa Beach the Sunday before Labor Day and stayed the night. Then we went to the zoo on Labor Day. Aunt Tracy then came to visit the following Thursday!

Both kids are doing well. Jayna is getting over a cold and Jace is growing like crazy. Jace found his feet a few weeks ago and has been playing with them all the time now. He is also eating baby food now and starting to drink from a sippy cup!

Here are a ton of pictures from the past few weeks.

Aunt Tracy and Jayna in the pool.

Jayna on her ring chilling in the pool.

Jayna feeding the cockatiels at the zoo. I was very surprised she wasn't scared!

Feeding the birds.

Jayna at the zoo (she was being a little ham and refused to look at the camera!)

Jace with Elmo.

Jayna with Daddy near the water on the beach. Jayna refused to walk through the sand and then got upset that sand was on our sandles and feet!

Jace asleep.

Jayna and Jace in a bucket at the house here. She loves to hold him.
Jace sticking his tongue out while eating.

At the mall...finally fell asleep!

Jayna on the little carousel at the mall.

We were waiting at the doctor's and she was playing around in the lobby.

Jace in his exersaucer.

4 month check-up

We had Jace's 4-month well-visit appointment yesterday. His stats are:

Weight: 18lbs!!!!!!
Height: 26 3/4 inches!

He is one BIG boy! Jayna is at 22lbs. (fully clothed including diaper and shoes!)! He is already fitting into 12 month clothes (although 9 month still fit him for the most part...but not for long).

I have pictures to post from Labor Day weekend...will try to do that later. We headed over to Cocoa Beach Sunday afternoon and went to the beach and then went to the zoo on Monday! Jayna had a lot of fun feeding the birds, fish and a giraffe. She HATED the sand though and refused to walk.

I made the blog private a few days ago but don't have everyone's e-mail addresses to add to the list of those that can view it. So I am going to open it back up for a bit longer until I get the e-mail addresses. If you view this, please e-mail me at peakkm@yahoo.com with your e-mail address and I'll add you!

Here are some new pictures!

Jace is almost as big as Jayna!

Jace smiling.

Jayna thought the dogs needed a snack so she put a bottle of water and a snack next to them!

Jayna....little Miss Diva!

In his big boy carseat! He decided the infant carrier wasn't for him anymore (makes it a bit hard to carry him around a store though)!

Here is a video of Jace smiling and laughing.
