2 years and 9 Months!

I love this time of the year, the change of seasons is so exciting! I do love the summer and am sad it's coming to an end but the crisp morning air of fall, the beautiful colors of changing foliage everywhere, the fall just has a certain feel to it. I think the changing of all the seasons do, but fall is special to me becuase the holidays are near, what a special time of the year and with these two beatuiful babies, the holidays have new excitement! We haven't quite figured out what Daysha wants to be for Halloween this year but I think she'll have a ball, we've got our decorations up and she's loving it! Destry is going to be winnie the pooh! He too is into the decoration, it should be a pretty fun Halloween this year! So an update on the kiddos: We had a 2 year appointment for Daysha, she is 33 inches tall, weighs 23 pounds and is a happy, healthy 2 year old! She's talking in sentences now, her favorite things to say are: - where are you daddy? She adores her daddy and is not far from his side when he's home! - Poo Poo Pody (which she's done a few times! Not too serious yet though) - Hi cute boy (when greeting Destry in the morning or after his nap) in little girlie voice sounds like hiii shute boy! It's adorable and he loves it! - No cute boy (she is the big sister after all!) - Meeeeeeess (M&M's - her favorite candy!) - Stop Mom (usually when I'm singing to her loudly - is that supposed to start already?!) She loves her brother (and is on a personal mission daily to retrieve his giggles!), blanket and binky(grrrrrr). She loves to play outside, walk her baby in her stroller, and most of all read books, she can't get enough of the books which we love! She's definately an independent 2 year old with opinions of her own, oh the patience we learn as parents!! She's still a great sleeper - 8 to 8 :o) And naps at least an hour a day but most days 2! We had a 9 month old check up for Destry, he's 29 inches and 19 pounds, a happy, very healthy boy! He's crawling and walking assisted by couch, wall, mom's pant leg and whatever else he can find! He's stood on his own a few times but not quite ready to take that first step! And, we're in no rush either!! He's started waving hi and bye, says mama (don't think he knows what it means, just a sound he likes) he loves giggling at his sister and following her around, anything she's doing, he's right there! He loves being outside, loves the water and loves to eat! He still only has his two bottom teeth but manages just fine with those! He sleeps about 9 hours and then wakes up for a bottle and goes back to sleep for a couple more hours! No complaints here! We couldn't be more proud of these little people who have blessed our lives! Can't imagine life without them!
