Jaylee is smiling too.

There are a couple posts today so go on down for a scroll...

Jaylee is also starting to smile.  She started a while ago but it seems as though I am not a consistent blogger anymore.  So here are a couple pics from the last couple weeks. 

 Her first modeling experience for homemade baby beanies.

Taken on 3-month birthday

 There's a little pink stain on her shirt here because we had our first ear infection, but you'd never know she was sick because she's still so happy.

I Think I Forgot To Mention...

MASON IS POTTY TRAINED!!!

During the day...we are still working on getting through the night.

 

That's right Folks!  He even stayed dry long enough that we were able to buy him none other than Thomas the Train underwear!  

Not only is Mason potty trained but randomly throughout the day you will hear the following noises...

Mason's running feet towards the bathroom...

Light turned on...

One foot up on the stool...

The other foot stepping up on the stool...

Toilet lid slamming up against the toilet tank...

Toilet seat slamming up against the toilet lid...

 The sound of pants being pulled down...

Then the underwear...

(You know what comes next)

*Flush*

Pulling up underwear & pants...

Both toilet seat and lid SLAM down...

Jump off stool...

Turn off light...

Running feet back to trains...

He's amazing right?

(Sorry I have to brag about my little guy big kid)

Not only does he take himself to the bathroom, but when Reese or I ask him if he needs help he either says "No, Mason do it." or "No, Mommy, all by myself!"

He even feeds himself corn and applesauce.

Now if only he could get over the fact that Christmas isn't for another 10 1/2 months. 

He had to be comforted when the Christmas lights were taken down.  It was a really rough day.

Even still, sometimes when we pull into the driveway he says, "Oh no!  Christmas lights gone!!"

Jaylee at 3 months old

It's true, Jaylee is already 3 months old.  She is smiling now and we love her to pieces.  Mason is a great big brother and is always making sure she is taken care of when she starts to cry. 

Here's Mason and me enjoying a nice tall smoothie from Jamba Juice.  We both LOVE smoothies.

Poor little guy was just watching Sesame Street when he apparently collapsed from being so exhausted.  He even had a half-eaten carrot in his hand.

That just happened

Here we are at our little girls' night enjoying the top tier of a wedding cake sized dessert-the Chocolate Tsunami!

Go big or go home!

Sorry the picture is blurry, the guy was a little iffy.

2 Months Already!

Jaylee at 1-month old

And here she is today at 2 months old!

She went for her checkup today as well and here are the stats:

Height:  23 inches  75%

Weight:  11 lbs. 8 oz.  75%

Here's what she's up to:

Wakes up twice a night.

Teases us with potential smiles...no real ones just yet.

LOVES her changing table-she will be screaming to be fed but then will be as pleasant as can be while being changed.  It must be the warm wipes ;)

Rolls from tummy to back within a few seconds.

 Doesn't love the headbands and bows.  They usually end up pulled over her eyes. 

Eats well as you can tell by the weight gain.

Loves warm baths especially when water is being poured on her head.

She has been banned from sleeping on Grandpa S because then she won't sleep anywhere else.

Time is going by too fast.  It seems like we just brought her home.  Life with two kids is fun.  I'm to the point where they are both napping at the same time and it is nice to have a quiet house to myself for about 2 hours. 

Hope You Had A Merry Christmas too!

Some pictures of our family enjoying the season. Reese and I at Temple Square with kids in-tow, Mason playing with his new trains and train table, and Jaylee taking it easy like she usually does. We hope you had a great Christmas too! Time to set goals for the New Year!

Best of Friends

Mason and Jaylee appear to be best friends.  Here are some of my favorite pictures of them together...and a couple more cute ones.

You can see even more by clicking HERE.

Mason was found sitting at the counter with scissors and a bag of chocolate chips he had started cutting open.  I was pretty upset but you have to applaud his taking advantage of me being occupied.  Also, he found the chocolate chips in the cupboard, got his stool so that he could get at the scissors and just started cutting away at the package.

Jaylee is known as "Air Jaylee" when she wears this Michael Jordan beenie around the house.

Mason's Friends

Mason is always excited to see his best friends Otis and Ruby at Papa and Nana's house. He talks about them ALL THE TIME!

Sorry the video is shaky, he was moving around a lot.
