6-months Already?

I have been working on this post for over a week now so some things are old news now :)


That's right, little miss Mylee is now 6-months-old!! Crazy, Crazy!
At her check up this week her stats were:

weight: 11 lbs. 9 oz.
height: 24 Inches

So she is still in the 3 percentile for both...so she is growing, she is just small! She is still in 0-3 month clothes (I am forcing her to wear 3-6 months now). She is still in siz 1 diapers, and size 1 shoes.

She may be small but that isn't keeping her from trying to crawl! Since she has been feeling better she has LOVED her tummy time! She will lay on her belly and swim. She gets on her knees and hands sometimes...but can't figure out how to move forward - so she ends up rolling all over and scooting until she gets where she wants to go! I don't want her to crawl but she is very getting close!

I have had the hardest time getting her to eat her baby food. I don't think she likes the texture...or taste, she always acts like she is gaging. I laid off trying for a while since she was sick and the past few days I have been working really hard to get her to eat - ANYTHING. And finally after opening and trying the 10th babyfood jar she decided she could choke down Blueberries mixed with apples (which is funny because that was Austin's fav!). I am praying that since she is starting to eat the babyfood it will help her sleep through the night!

I have had the hardest time getting her to sleep through the night. She has decided that she wants to wake up every 2-3 hours...starts to really take a toll on mommy after 6 months. She did sleep through the night when we were in Hawaii and for a few weeks after we got home - sure wish we could go back right now!!! :) But she was nursing a lot in Hawaii that's probably why!

I stopped nursing her after she turned 5-months, she has done very well on formula, and it's nice not to be so attached :) to her! I just worry because I can hardley ever get her to eat more than 2-3 oz of formula at a feeding.

But I guess I should worry about how much she eats if she acts full and is active, right? She has been hitting her milestone and she is very strong for how little she is. I just get frustrated because I waste so much formula because she just snacks!

She likes to blow little spit bubbles and make little motor noises (so cute) and she is doing the dadada speech and I ever caught her doing mamama the other day :) hopefully she says mama first! Oh and she is already a wonderful fit thrower! She can throw her whole body back and screams loud while kicking her legs...isn't that nice! :) I am already afraid of her terrible twos!!!

Well that's a big update on little miss Mylee
Even with the fits I love her and she is so fun to have around. We are all bless!
Here are a few pics from the last month or so:

Looks like she is going to keep her pretty blue eyes :)

Makes Me Happy....

So here is another cake I make...this one was for a photography session I had yesterday of a sweet little 1-year-old!

To see pictures from my "cake-smash" session go to my Photography website or click here for the direct link. Let me know what you think...any ideas to make it better?

My little 2-Year-Old

Austin turned two last month and I just realized that I didn't do a post (besides his parties) for him turning two.

Im not going to lie, the day he turned two is the day he became, "terrible" (I didn't think it was going to happen to him because he is such a fun kid but it did) He started his "terrible twos" on his birthday. He is still fun to be around and he has his sweet moments but I can't believe some of the fits he throws! I know it could be worse so I should just be thankful...I guess.

Anyways at his 2-year check up his stats were:

Weight: 27 lbs.
Height: 35 inches

I think he lost some weight from being sick. And it seems like his height is at a stand still. Instead of being in the 90th percentile for height he is now in the 50th - 75th. And in weight he is 25th-50th. I guess he is almost average now - doesn't look like it, now I am starting to think they measured him wrong? Oh he still looks like he is 3-years-old to most people.

He is starting to become independent.

-likes to go to the fridge and get his own food and drinks.
-tries to dress himself and comb his hair.
-still likes to brush his teeth which is funny to watch.
-talks a lot unless he is around someone he is unsure of, he won't talk at all.
-still treats every ball like a golf ball, and every stick or long object as a golf club.
-likes to watch movies now (well only a hand full keep his attention).
-always wants his papa or mama (Grandpa Dan and Grandma Jan).
-LOVES his fruits, and still eats baby veggies
-still loves his "b" (binky) but we have made progress.
-loves trains..."choo choos"
-always wants to hang out with the guys in the, "man cave"
-likes to sing in the car when dad sings.
-has been trying to change his own diaper (working on the potty training for this reason)
-has been caught trying to change Mylee's diaper.
-counts to 5...but won't say 1.
-likes to hold or lay by Mylee.
-still likes to give hugs and kisses. (my fav.)

He is so fun to be around when he isn't throwing fits. We have been playing with the whole potty training thing...not really trying hard but talking to him about it, so we are going to stay home this weekend and see if we can actually have a real try at it. I would love to not change his diaper anymore...the kid can poop! :) And as I said before, he has tried to change his own diaper which was poopy so you can see why we want to do this so early.

I still haven't been able to do his 2-year portraits since it is so cold outside so I don't have any cute pictures of my little 2-year-old but here are some snap shots of him...being him!

Austin golfing in dads "man cave" he putts right handed...drives left handed...throws a ball right handed It will be interesting to see which becomes his Dominate hand

Austin with his bear and "b"

he has been sick a lot this past month so I let him have his "b" a lot

but for the last 4 days now he hasn't had it during the day...

hopefully he is getting over the binkie!

This is Austin's favorite foods oranges, bananas, grapes, and cookies :)

He also likes Pizza.

Here is a funny picture of him when he fell asleep while eating lunch

He loves his "choo-choo" from his mama (Grandma Jan)

He also likes his train from his cousin Bowen (just don't have a pic)

one day I came upstairs and found this:

Austin eating jello on the kitchen floor

(yes that is my nasty kitchen floor, one day it will be replaced)

(you can tell by the ice chunk the jello was pushed to the back of the fridge)

One day I found him eating a bag of cookies
He can get to anything!

The kid makes me smile! I can't believe he is already 2!!! Just seems like yesterday I was rocking him and singing him to sleep...

I Love you little buddy...stop growing up so fast!!

Obsession Continues

Well I am still Obsessed and I love it! I know many of you come to the blog to check on the family and what we are up to - not my baking Obsession but I just wanted to share with you 2 more cakes I have made this week...

For my sister-in-law Danee (turned 17)

Jenny G. wanted to learn how to do fondant so we did this one together.

This one has a little story behind it. I got a text on Tuesday asking me if I make cakes now...which I had to laugh out loud since the first cake I ever made was a little over a week ago! So the texting continued and I decided to give it a try for someone else and I am so happy I did!

I think it turned out cute. It was for a little girl turning one (thanks for having faith in me Jenny P. hoped she like it!)

I can't wait to do a cake that isn't zebra stripes - even though I totally love them and I think they are way cute! I just need an excuse to make a cake! :)

And of course I had some left over fondant flowers so I made these little cookies.

I am having a lot of fun!!!
