Grace is a TINY SENSATION...

In January Grace had tryouts for a competitive dance team and made it! Not only did she make it but she was put on the older team of 5-6 year olds. She was only 3 when trying out and just turned 4! Come on now I have to toot my horn just a little :) I was nervous that this would be too much for her but dancing on the big stage just once for one recital just wasnt enough for this sassy girl. So she goes to tumbling and her comp team class, and ballet. 3 nights a week...plus extra practices at the High School for spacing practice. Um yeah it is alot and she hasn't complained once. Maybe even more so for mama who is lugging Faith to all this stuff because Dad is at wrestling with Kelton most nights. The joys of sports and kids! I am so proud of her and cant wait for competitions to start. I will take a video of her at her full dress rehersal...SHE IS LITTLE MISS SASSY PANTS WITH HER FACIALS, LET ME TELL YOU!

My little Tiny Sensation

If she isn't at dancing at dance class then she is dancing at home and singing. I seriously might have to have her do a solo next year....

Who knows what she is doing here but it sure is cute!

My Love~Hate Relationship with Alimentum

First we will start with my LOVE for this stuff...is only because it makes my little Faith feel better and is definitely making her chubby:)

My HATE for this stuff is due to it costing 100 dollars a week!!!! I breast fed Faith until a couple weeks ago. I guess I feel like a bad mom considering I am on my 3rd child and it took me 6 months to figure out she has a milk protein allergy? In my defense she never was fussy with her spit up not one bit. Yes, she spit up A TON but, she was the best baby. So when I would supplement formula when we were out and about she would spit up even worse. My breast milk wasn't as bad but still not normal. So I tried all different formulas starting in January, I mean EVERY KIND OUT THERE. I was dreading to try the expensive Alimentum. So I finally gave in and tried it and yep sure enough did the trick :)

So of course I love this stuff more than hate it because it is making her feel better, and more convinent for me to not have spit up everywhere. I have also noticed a huge change in her weight. She was pretty little and I always thought that was weird because I do not have little babies! They may be short but not skinny:) So sure enough she is looking more like her big sis now that she is being fed!!!

So here's to the next 6 months Alimentum...it is me and you!

7 MONTHS OLD and Her FIRST word....

Faith turned 7 MONTHS OLD yesterday and said her first word as well! Usually babies will say da da first because it is easier and Max got the first word da da with Grace so I was so excited that Faith said ma ma first. She does the b sounds....like buh buh. So I started saying ma ma to her a ton and yesterday out of the blue she started saying it perfectly. I did take a video off my phone so I am not sure how to transfer but I will take a video with our camera soon so I can post it. It seriously is so cute and she says it clear as day!

Happy St. Patty Day

Kelton is in 4th grade so of course they had to do their big County reports this year. We put quite a bit of time into the report and our diorama and it still wasn't nearly as good as some of the others. lol It was kind of funny because the teacher said I want to see what the kids can do. So I truly let Kelton do his and just helped him where he needed me. Um yeah I can honestly say 90% of the kids in 4th grade had their parents do it for them ;) Kelton was really cute because he had to square dance with a girl. They had been practicing for weeks and Kelton hadn't said a word about it because he gets so embarrassed. He did good though and was a gentlemen.

First nice day of spring~ It was so nice to go outside and get some fresh air. Faith loved it and was a good baby as always :)

Disney on Ice~

This was Faith's first year to Disney on Ice and she loved it. We take Grace every year and thought why not start Faith out young :) Grace loved it too of course.
