Beanbags!!

So we had one cozy chair in the toy room...which of course has been a source of contention!! So we decided to buy the kids a couple of bean bag chairs. As you can see...problem solved, greatest invention ever!!

Jaina 18 months

I took Jaina in for her 18 month appt today. The doctor says she is PERFECT, I couldn't agree more :) As far a %iles go, he described her as long and lean, that is how she has always been!! I don't get the weight part, she eats anything and everything you put in front of her...and most things that you don't she helps herself to as well!! She must be blessed with a high metabolism.

Jaina's 18 month Stats:

Weight 23.13 lbs (30%)

Height 33 1/2 inches (90%)

Head Circ 18.5 inches (61%)

18 months also marks the milestone of going to nursery at church. the first couple of weeks she went in and never looked back, little miss independent. But last week, she cried her little eyes out when I put her down in the class. Who knows??

Lately her favorite things to do are: reading books, watching Yo Gabba Gabba, and playing with anything that big brother has first!!

big Girl Bed

So we aren't quite ready to let Jaina start sleeping in her big girl bed yet, but we put it up in her room so she can get used to it. I think it is safe to say that she loves it.....hopefully that feeling continues when mom and dad get brave enough to let her actually sleep in it!! She's already reaching for door knobs...it's only a matter of time before she figures out how to turn them!! When we do let her out of "baby jail" we might be in trouble!

Lil' Sports

Been looking for a sports program to put Ryan into. Darn the luck, he missed the tee ball age cutoff by 30 days!! So I went in search of something, anything!! So I found this great program called Little Sports. Every month the class focuses on a different sport, basketball, football, soccer, and tee ball. February was basketball, and much to my surprise Ryan is a natural...had no idea he had such raw talent. He seemed to have a lot of fun, guess we had better brush up on the game in case he decides that he wants to do it "for real".

Jaina's 1st Official Salon Haircut!

It was time....for those of you who know her, Jaina is her own little person. And she has not yet decided that she likes to sit still long enough for me to do ANYTHING with her hair. It was so long in the front we couldn't see her beautiful eyes. We were putting her hair up in a pony tail--Pebbles style, but even that has become a battle...so off to the hair stylist we went. I was a little nervous for a few reasons...but she did a great job sitting still, the grape lollipop was the trick!! And I'm not a huge fan of bangs...but boy does she pull them off, what a cutie!! :)

biker dude

Another perk of our new neighborhood, even sidewalks!! How much easier it is for a little guy learning how to ride his bike!! He is so proud of his big boy bike riding skills. Sometimes he gets going so fast it makes me hold me breath a little when he's rounding a corner. We just bought him a helmet which should make me breath a little easier. We let Ryan pick it out...can you guess what what it is??? Spiderman!! Daddy is so proud :)

Pizza Chef Ryan

We went on a field trip today with the Viera Moms Club. There is a fun pizza joint in the Avenues called the Pizza Gallery. We went in and toured behind the scenes, Ryan actually got to make a personal pizza, and then they baked it and brought out the kids creations so that they could eat them. All, for $5...what a deal. It was super fun, not to mention nice to get out and meet some new people!!
