rice cereal

Talon's 1st time eating rice cereal. He not only didnt like it on day one, but couldnt really figure out how to do it. A few weeks later he is doing much better and is loving to eat his cereal.




Back yard play time





kids together

These 2 are just so adorable together......



Park Day

The weather was cool enough on this day to go to the park.....its been so darn hot for October!!!





Silly Sailor & daddy







The pumpkin patch

We look the kids to the pumpkin patch. Sailor of course had a blast while Talon slept for most of it. Sailor loves the animals and all the really big pumpkins. We ended up coming home with 1 pretty good sized one, 1 "sailor" sized one and a cute little one for Talon. Plus we have another already at home from amma.....4 people and 4 pumpkins =)











Yo Gabba Gabba








Its raining its pouring

We actually got some fall weather for a day....




20 month old Sailor

I cant believe that our little girl is 20 months old already!!! Only 4 more month until she is 2 years old wow!!!
Sailor is such a joy to have around. She is learning something new everyday and loves it. She is still a ball of energy and has been since day 1. This little girl doesnt stop going until she literally crashes at bedtime.
Sailor is talking up a storm. She says everything and is starting to put short sentences together. She knows most of her colors, knows her ABC's and knows all the animals and their sounds. Numbers are next and im sure she will pick that up fast too. She loves to learn!!! She also got 3 new teeth this month.....2 bottom and 1 top. The 4th top is almost here.
Her favorite things right now are helping with the baby, dressing herself, Mickey Mouse, animals, watching Toy Story, and her rain boots.

Sailor is the best big sister. She is very protective of her baby. She likes to hold his bottle, bring him his pasi, get him a new diaper (she says he always has poop), and let me know when he is awake. They are very cute together.

Not sure how much she weighs this month her next doctor visit is at 21 months. BUt she is still in size 3 diapers, size 24 months clothes and now a size 6 shoes.

Our next adventure is starting potty training and getting rid of the pasi.....wish us luck!!

4 month old Talon

Our little boy is now 4 months old....time is sure going by fast. He is a very happy little guy. Always smiling. He talks all the time now and thats pretty fun. He started rolling over last month but never really did it that often, now he does it every chance he gets and he is fast. He is also trying to sit up and can do it for about 30 seconds. Talon is becoming more active thats for sure and he just watches Sailor's every move.
He started cereal, apples and bananas this month. It was a rocky start but he got the hang of it now and loves to eat. We will be trying pears next, im sure he will enjoy those too.
We think that he is teething now since he has been wakeing up every hour or 2 at night for more then a week. Also he just chews on his hands all day and drools like crazy. It doesnt seem to be bothering him to much since he doesnt really cry but its waking him up at night, which means its waking me up too....boo!!!
At his 4 month check up our little guy isnt so little anymore.....he is 16 lbs 2 oz!!!! That is only the 65%, which i was surprised to hear. He is gonna out weigh big sister very soon. He has moved up to size 6 month clothes and 9 month jammies. He is very tall too. Guess i need to go shopping, he is out growing eerything so fast.
Cant wait to see what he learns to do this month =)

bath time....double trouble

I usually give both kids a bath together because it is much easier then doing 2 baths. I just fill the bath up a few inches and Talon lays on a big sponge while Sailor plays. Once his bath is finished i take him out and then finish Sailor's. But he has out grown his sponge so it was time for the whale tub again. This time i tried just putting the tube in the bath with Sailor.....it worked great!!!





A cold fall walk

Finally starting to feel like fall....
