Rhoslyn

Here is a little bit about Rhoslyn that you may not know...

She can walk with her stroller now!

She likes to take her baths in the sink versus the bath tub.  When she is in the tub she screams, stands, and throws a fit!  Tonight we did a bath in the sink and she was a happy, silly little girl!  Who knew?

 She loves pulling books out of our book shelf.  There are times when I realize I haven't heard much from her and I will usually find her in the hallway flipping through books.  She is a pretty independent child.
                       


Her hair has hit that awkward stage.  Even when her hair is in a clip it usually looks a bit ratty.  Her hair also curls in the back, which of course is super cute!

She loves being outside.  When she is all done eating she will give you her cup and that is her cue that she is done.  She says "nigh nigh" when it is time to go to sleep (and waves).  She is trying really hard to say kitty right now.  She has five teeth and one on the way.  She hates vegetables (rarely she will eat a few peas or carrots).  She LOVES banana's and grapes.  She can stand alone but is too afraid to, so she will go down on her knees and then crawl away.  She is a chatterbox, but most of you won't know that because when she is around others she is very quiet.  She says "brober" for brother.  She loves to play with trains.  She really likes little people toys right now.

And... in just one more week she will be 14 months old!

Packer Game

Thank you to Grandma Jackie for winning tickets to the packer game!  Alex was able to attend his first game.  He was so pumped about going.

Here is Billy and Alex inside the stadium.  Thank you to the kind lady who took this picture so mom could see them at the game! =)

The game was too loud for him and they spent most of their time in the gift shop.  They didn't even make it through the first qaurter, but the experience he got was all that mattered. 

He had a blast spending time with daddy and eating popcorn, ice cream, and drinking lemonade.

GO PACKERS!!

Labor Day Weekend

We spent our Labor Day weekend spending time with Billy's Family at his parents cabin and enjoying a day outside at Bay Beach.  Then of course Monday, we were all a bit under the weather and laid around the house for a majority of the day.

Auntie Shauna gave Rhoslyn her first popsicle!  She loved it!  Thanks Auntie Shauna!!

The kids enjoyed popsicles after lunch.  No picture of Alex eating his because he had to ride on the four wheeler while the other kids ate theirs.

Sunday we spent the day at Bay Beach here in Green Bay.  Rhoslyn was kicking back in her stroller as Alex rode on the rides.

What a great weekend!

We had such a nice weekend with the beautiful weather! 

The kids had a lot of fun playing outside in the yard... especially since I put water in the water table!  Of course Rhoslyn tried to drink it.. yuck!

Don't mind Alex's shorts... yes they are pajama shorts (it's all he had clean... pretty bad, huh?!) Haha!

Rhoslyn loves to play with the sand.  She also likes to test it for taste as well.  YUMMY!!

Alex and I spent Sunday morning/ early afternoon at Bay Beach here in Green Bay.  He had so much fun!!  I love this place... I seriously only spent $15 and we even ate lunch there.  I wish that we would have visited earlier in the summer, but I know we will be making it back there at least one more time before summer ends!

He had a blast on all of the rides.  Such a fun place for all ages!  This was his first visit there and he was just in awe.  It was a great Sunday and I loved having that special time with him. 

I hope this weather stays... it is perfect.

Our Toddler

Rhoslyn has now figured out that splashing in the tub is SO much fun!!  Last night she took a bath and the entire time she was in the tub she splashed.

She is officially pulling herself up to stand.  As soon as she see's anyone open the fridge she crawls like a mad woman to get to it.  Then she gets mad when you pull her away so you can close the door.  Silly girl.

She loves to play with sand in the sandbox just like her big brother!

She loves music!!

She has started shaking her head no as well and when she doesn't get her way she throws a hissy fit.

It's fun to see how much she has already changed in the last few weeks!

Happy 1st Birthday Rhoslyn!!

We cannot believe that our little girl is already one!  Where has the last year gone?  It feels like just yesterday when we were introducing her to Alex and holding her in our arms all day long.

Rhoslyn has changed and grown so much this last year!  She is trying to talk more and more everyday.  She can now say "mama" "dada" "hi" "Car" "Ball" "Gir" and she is working on her sign language and can do more and all done (well almost all done).  She claps her hands and puts them above her head when you say "so big!"  She crawls all over the place and will also get on all fours like an animal walks.  She is not pulling herself to stand or walking.

Today was such a special birthday for her because we able to have friends and family over to help her celebrate.  Her brother helped her open all of her gifts and when it was time for cake she dived right in without hesitation!  (Thats my girl!)

Check out all of those presents!!

Mmmmm, this cake is good!

"So Big!"

Such a happy girl on her birthday!  She loves playing with her brothers toys.

We are so happy to have her in our lives and we couldn't imagine a day without her.  We love you Rhoslyn!

Happy 1st Birthday Scooter!

Poor little girl..

 Doesn't this just break your heart?  It breaks mine, thats for sure.  Our poor little girl has such a nasty cold.  She has spent most of the day today napping and most of the night last night crying.  She sounds as bad as she looks.  Crying wears her out so much that she wants to fall asleep afterwards.  It truely makes me want to cry looking at her.  She looks so sad and so sick.

I know you are probably thinking it's a bit weird of me to take these photos... but I feel like we need to cherish and remember as many memories, whether they are good or bad.  My goal with doing this blog is that I can print it out and keep it to look back on our memories.

Lets hope this little girl gets back to herself soon.  She has a big week coming up and is turning the BIG ONE next Sunday.  We need her ready to smash and eat up that cake!
