More October Randoms...






Who' who????

Mattea Five Months



Hard to believe it but Mattea is five months old. Seems like just yesterday we brought her home and she was sleeping all the time. Now a days she is not much of a napper, but she sure sleeps at night. She likes to go to bed around 7:30pm and gets up around 5am. She moved to her big girl crib this month and is sleeping a little better with out mommy and daddy waking her up all the time. Mattea is rolling both ways now, she gets a little stuck when she is on her belly, but boy will she lets us know when she is mad enought about it. She likes doing her baby push ups and discovering all she can see down there. And as you can see, she is really working on sitting up and needs just a little help now and then to not tumble over. She LOVES watching her big sister play and of course grabbing for her toys... this is starting to make sister a little upset! Won't it be fun is a couple of months when she will crawl across the room for them. Mattea also loves to stand and bounce in her jumperoo. Everyone says that Mattea is such a smiley baby and she is. She also loves to laugh and we've found some tickle spots that will really get her giggling! Mattea gets a little food every day or so. She really enjoys it and gets really excited when she sees it coming!

Fire Department Open House

Karis loved going to the Fire Departments open house last Thursday for Fire Prevention Week. She got to meet Smokey the Bear and shake his hand. There was a fire extinguisher demonstration as well as a demonstration of how Fireman would search your room if there was a fire in your house... Karis loved that part! She also loved the Fireman hat, stickers and coloring book too... oh and the cookies... don't forget the cookies! :)

Sisters...


Sometimes I look at Mattea and think I'm back to 2010 with Karis. Sometimes when I get her up in the morning I think to myself, Mattea is her sister's twin just born 23 months later. Both my girls are beautiful... Karis was a little more chubby at this age... but their eyes, nose and mouth are both so similar  Even look at that hairline! :) Can't wait to see what my ohhh soooo cute girls turn out to be :)

Pee Pee in the Potty... and Poop too!

The week before we started to Potty, we put KK's sticker chart up to get her excited about her new adventure!

Day #2 of Pee Pee Party Day... Wearing Dora undies and her rain boots... in case of leaks! :) Karis has done very well and her momma and daddy are very proud. She has a few accidents here and there but she is learning fast that diapers are yucky!

OK... So maybe someday Karis will kill us for these photos... but right now they are just too precious not to share! After saying that she needed to poop for a few hours, her daddy figured out the best way to get her to go... bring the chair out to her, no pants or undies and countdown for her while she pushed the poopies out... And... She DID IT!!!

Mattea's 4 Monthaversary :)

Mattea turned Four Months old on September 14th!

She is our Smiling girl! She loves to smile, especially in the morning when she wakes up. She also loves to giggle and laugh... especially at her sister :)

At her Four Month appointment Mattea weighed 15 pounds and 4 oz and was 27 inches tall. She had only gained a little over a pound since her Two Month appointment... but when you're born at almost 10 pounds you've got to even out sometime... She's our Lean and Mean Mattea Machine :)

She's learning how to push up on those arms, but loves to stand the most.

Mattea has gotten big enough to play in her Jumperoo.

She loves playing with the froggie as much as Karis did :) She is just starting to grab at her toys and of course everything goes straight to her mouth!

Not to happy with laying in the grass.

Mattea loves to blow rasberries and talk up a storm!
