Updates!

I am super sad because now my blog is officially not letting me post pictures because i have used all my free space and now they want to charge me :( I am not sure what i am going to do but like my sister, i might have to create a new blog. Bummer. So as for right now i will just update with words.

As for Blakers:
Blake is loving his sister more and more each day. Yesterday he told my niece that Bailee is his favorite princess. That just might be the cutest thing i have ever heard. He loves to play, play all day long. His favorite things right now are: Trains, cars, music, going to school with his backpack, playing with Bailee and talking about how we are going to Disneyland. Blake has become the worlds pickiest eaters. He eats a lot of things but refuses to try anything new. I have tried so many things to try and get him to eat that we have both become emotionally exhausted and wont give in. I wont stop forcing him and he wont eat. So we have decided to let things go for a while. He eats a lot of fruit and healthy foods, so i am just going to let him be. He could listen, watch and play music all day long. Tonight i was watching the CMT awards and Jason Aldean was playing his guitar so Blake ran in and got his guitar so he could play to. SO CUTE!!! He puts the guitar on top of his shoulder and rocks back and forth! Blake is also a very picky dresser. Thankfully he has good taste, so he picks out cute clothes, but he refuses to wear something he doesnt want to wear.What a bum. I have been a little nervous lately about Blakes hearing. He says what and what did you say, every time i say something. He puts my lips up to his ear and has me talk to he can hear. He looks at my lips when i talk to him and turns his music up really loud so he can hear it. I went and got his ears cleaned out to see if that would help but it has not:( So i will be watching him really close. Oh yes, Blake is also very much into super heros! Especially Spiderman. He is super funny, very energetic, gets in lots of trouble, very loving, loves Jesus and the Bishop and talks and sings everything. He is very good at talking, he talks my ear off all day long. He knows his ABC's, his colors and can count to 13! He LOVES doing his flash cards. He is becoming so smart. We love him to pieces and i am so thankful he chose me to be his mommy.

As for Bailee Girl: As you all know, she has had a really rough 4.5 months of life. But things are really starting to look up! I didnt blog pictures about this, but Bailee got tubes put in her ears a little over a week ago. She had had 4 ear infections and It was going to be a really rough Winter if we didnt get that done. She did great and everything is healed and perfect that we know of. As for the rest off all her issues....... She ended up getting thrush because of all the antibiotics she has been on. But that is gone now. She is still taking meds for all of her different types of reflux. But thats it!!!! Hopefully we are finally on the mending side of things. She is such a trooper! There is pretty much no difference in her behavior whether she is sick or not. She is so happy and and smiley(unless she is tired). She eats great and is finally getting the whole baby food thing. Although she doesnt like peas or mixed veggies. Next i am going to try sweet potatos and squash. She used to be terrified when Blake would get near her(because he is so rough) but now she can handle her own. She just pushes his face out of the way and makes a squeaking sound. But she actually likes when Blake plays with her now!!!! Oh i love watching it! Blake has learned to be more gentle and Bailee isnt as fragile now so its getting better! Bailee definitely knows what she wants and lets me know. She still sleeps soooooo much! She goes through spurts where she will sleep through the night and then doesnt. But at the very most she only wakes up once so i cant complain. She is starting to get chubby and i love it! She is loving to play with toys and watch TV. Blake loved TV to! I am so glad because at this young of an age i think it is very stimulating for them to see. She rolls ALL OVER the place. Unless she doesnt feel like putting in the effort, she will cry for me to roll her back over. I am pretty sure she will fully be sitting her in the next couple of weeks. She sits up very straight and can sit by herself for long periods of time. She loves to be interacted with. She is the best addition to our family. She brings a great spirit and has so much love.

As for Mommy and Daddy: I am not up to much. Just Christmas shopping, figuring things out for Disneyland, cleaning the house 5 million times a day, putting Blake in time out 5 million times a day, giving lots of love and trying to teach my kids everything they need to know. I love being a mommy and getting to spend my days with my little ones:) Chance is working full time and going to school full time so he is really busy. He has a love hate relationship with his job at Costco. But it works for now. School is always really hard for him. I feel bad. But he is getting through one day at a time. Finals are next week and he could not be happier. Once in a blue moon he has some down time and he usually spends that roughing Blake up and holding his little princess. He wakes up at about 4:15 every morning to go to work and doesnt come home till about 7 pm every night. Then he eats, does homework and goes to bed. We savor the days he has off!

Life has its ups and downs right now, but we try to keep a good attitude and things seem to jsut work out :)
