Catch up

After a 4 month hiatus- thanks to my work! I'm back to blogging again. So mom, Ginger, I hope you enjoy! :)

Quick update on the family: Lawson is running around like a maniac. He's into everything and is 100% boy. He's starting to talk  more and will get frustrated if you don't understand what's he's saying (a majority of words sound like "Ball" so he squeals often out of frustration for us not understanding him). He is Harleigh's shadow, he wants to do what "sissy" is doing (he will make a "ssssss" sound and that's "sissy"). He still is a great eater, and is mastering the fork and spoon, which he really does a great job with. Lawson also enjoys outside time- push toys, balls, golf clubs, slides, swings, water toys, bikes, you name it! He sleeps great these days typically 7pm-7am.

Harleigh is at a great age. She is a talker and is really getting into using her imagination. We will take turns telling a story to one another and she does a good job with keeping it moving which is surprising for a 3 year old. She also is the queen of phrases- most of the time when we ask her to do something like "Harleigh, let's pick up our toys and put them away" she'll respond with "Maybe on Friday". She doesn't mean it in a disrespectful way just trying to use what we say and incorporate it into or language. "Probably" is another one of her favorites. She loves, loves, loves her brother. She is a little mama to him. When she gets home from school she typically runs to him and gives him a hug and tells him what she made at school. She loves to read him books, and will get frustrated if he doesn't listen or sit still. She is eating better, thanks to a "gentle" nudge from mom and dad (i.e., timer) and loves to watch Dora the Explorer, Little Einsteins, and Max and Ruby.

A big change for the Kamm family is that Harleigh and Lawson are getting more "mom time". I've been able to transition to a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom), and will be able to get more time with kiddos. I'll miss working, but I think in the long term I won't regret taking some time with the kids.

Happy Belated Birthday, Brooksie Doodle

I'm a few weeks late, but I didn't forget this little guy's birthday! Happy Birthday Mr B! He's the BIG O-N-E!

32 Years and Counting

 

Happy Anniversary to my parents today! They celebrate 32 years of wedded bliss. I hope they have a great day and are able to have a fun date  night.

They've definitely beaten the odds considering they were so young when they were married (19), however, with such wonderful children, who wouldn't want to stay together forever?

Congrats, we love you guys!

Birthday Boy!

Guess who will be celebrating his 1st Birthday this weekend with his cousin Brooks? This little stud muffin....top! :) We love you so much Lawson, you are such a joy to be around!

Quickly catching up to sisters size!

Training to enter "strong man" competitions and pull cars one day

We've got a Walker!

Lawson has started to walk! This weekend he's started to venture out on his two feet. He can only take 3-4 steps at a time but he's starting to get the hang of it and get more balanced each time.

Yay, buddy!! Keep up the good work!!

Cutest Kids I know

This picture explains why my kids are always sick. Fingers are always in their mouths.

Lawson's 11 month stats

My little Darth Vader had to go to the doctor yesterday so I was able to get his 11month weight and thought I would share a little more about our "little bug".
23lbs 6oz
Needless to say, he eats well. Lawson loves bottles of 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 formula (he's has 1 reaction to formula, but we've changed and he chugs it all).
Favorite Foods- bananas, pasta, avocado, puffs, mum mum's, peas, green beans, melon, blueberries.
Favorite toy- His walker. He loves grabbing a hold of it and going. He often can't get his feet to keep up with his belly and will fall, but he doesn't cry, he gets back up keeps going.
Best Friends: Brooksie, Landy Pants, and of course his BFF Harleigh. When she gets home from school he lights up and just chuckles when she greets him.
Favorite Signs- He has his own versions of these but he'll sign "all done", "food", and "more".
Words- "Bah" (ball), "mamamama" (mommy), "uh-uh" (up), "baba" (bottle)

He's into crawling up the stairs, passing a ball back and forth, dance parties, showers, being naked, hide and seek, driving his car outside, swings, and pointing.

Lawsie bug we love you so much and are enjoying the little boy you're becoming. We look forward to celebrating your big birthday in a few weeks!
