Love my kids

What do I love about a three, almost four year old?  That dress up never gets old and has no limits.  And I love this little boy and his imagination.

This little girl is mighty sweet as well.  She is getting so busy all the time.

Montana’s Toy Drive

The Toy drive in memory of Montana was such a beautiful experience.  We collected toys from friends and family for a couple months leading up to the Anniversary date of Montana’s death.  Each donation meant the world to us.  Thank you so much for your farm toy donations.

The week of our scheduled toy delivery, was the week Kaden got sick and had to spend so much time at the doctor/hospital.  Which made this experience even more near and dear to my heart.  Kaden wanted to go with us to deliver the toys to the sick kids at the hospital. 

Kim, Mom, Kaden, Chloe, and Granny.

The hospital gave Chloe a special book and spoke to her, it was very sweet.  Chloe was so excited about the day and to give all those toys in memory of her baby brother.  Kim did well.  I was hard for her, but good for her at the same time.

Thanks to our wonderful friends and families, we donated almost 200 new farm themed toys, books, and games.

What a great way to celebrate Montana’s sweet little life.

Team MOO COW! 

We took Chloe and Kaden ice skating after we delivered the toys.  Fun to watch Kaden learn how to ice skate.

We love you and miss you every single day Montana Lane Fisher!

A Big Scare!

The last week of January Kaden had huge lymph nodes in his neck and other parts of the body.  We took a trip over to Children’s Medical City, and it ended up his cause for the lymph nodes were unknown.  He started a strong course of antibiotics, and the hospital recommended he see a hematologist/oncologist because his blood levels.  It was scary seeing the referral written out for our child to go to an oncology/hematology doctor.  The follow up was a few days later in Dallas at Texas Oncology.  The doctors were amazing.  The facility amazing.  And, we ended up with all good news.  Nothing bad like lymphoma or lukemia, praise the Lord!  But, the cause for the swelling in his lymph nodes is unknown.  We are to go back and have blood drawn again to ensure his levels are back to normal.

This all happened just a few days before his 4th birthday.  Lance and I were so scared. 

After this little boy having to have blood taken three days in one week, we had to have some fun to make up for all the scary/painful stuff.  Kaden was so brave and good.

We were so relieved and thankful for good news for our little man. 

Kallie at Six and Seven Months

Lots of things happened during your seventh month, Kallie.

You got your first bottom tooth in, then a couple days later your second tooth in.  You rocked and scooted the beginning of the month, then by the third week of the month you were crawling all over the place as well as pulling up and standing.  You are so interested in walking and would rather stand than crawl.  Your hair is growing so fast.

This is a 9 month dress the last day you wore this size.  You quickly went into 12 month clothes in the beginning of your 7th month. 

 

You were actually still 6 months old in these pictures.

We started sitting up in the bathtub.

Teething, Teething, Teething… Seven months was all about teething!  Such a NOT fun experience.

Visit from Sister

My sweet sister and her two beautiful boys visited us in January.  These sweet little ones where 6 months and 7 months old.  I think Kallie outweighed Austin by a pound at this visit and both were wearing about 9 month clothes.  Austin had his two bottom teeth at this visit, Kallie still with none.

Kallie and Austin got a lot of baby play time in! 

Happy Sassy Six Months

I could not wait for the day when Kallie would fit into this outfit that my Aunt Kara and Kari got for her.  And, I almost waited to long!  It barely went on!  I dressed prissy up for a fun photo shoot in the crib for her 6 month birthday.

This flower bigger than her head is what having a baby girl is all about!  I LOVE it!!!

We had your six month well visit this week Kallie.  You are a healthy and happy girl and all went well, except the four vaccines including the flu shot.  Ouch!  The shots made you feel bad for two days afterwards.  Here’s your 6 month stats:

You weigh 18 pounds, 6.5 ozs  95 percentile

You are 28 inches long, 95 percentile

and your head measurements are in the 95 percentile as well.

You wear a size 3 diaper

You wear size 12 month clothes!  Seriously, how did that happen SO fast???  We totally skipped 6-9 and 9. 

You are eating cereal and fruit baby food each morning and stage 2 chicken and rice and veggies at night.  You do pretty good with your baby food, but are picky about what you’ll eat.  You wont eat green beans, peas, squash.  But you love carrots, sweet potatoes, applesauce, pears, oatmeal, chicken n rice, chicken noodle baby foods.  We just started giving you yogurt melts and you like them.

You are sitting independently, rolling over from front to back and back to front, pushing up on front arms and kicking yourself around the floor, mainly you roll.  You are not crawling yet.  You have no teeth yet. 

You are so happy.  You still drink formula bottles (6 ozs) 3-4 times a day.

You sleep through the night, 8-10 hours, I can not complain, you are a great sleeper at night!

You are completely CRAZY about your brother and laugh out loud at him.  You watch every move he makes and you adore him.

You are such a good baby.  Good natured, happy all the time.  A little shy around people, but always willing to smile for them at least. 

This is you all sacked out for a good nap after our photo shoot!  You love your bear pink just as much as Kaden loves his bear blue.

You are so precious to me baby girl!  Happy 6 months!

My Love Bugs

This little boy always wants to go to a “Bag Party” with me.  So, this was fun, when I hosted my own home party this month, I let Kaden wear some of the awards for my hostesses and hold a Cindy Tote for a picture!  He was a great little bag party boy!

That Nana is so creative, she can sit a baby in places I would never think to sit one.  And, she is happy and she plays there.  Go figure!  She liked the laundry basket!

Kaden and Nana playing …

Sister likes to play on Bubba’s bed too.

This girl propped her leg right up there when we took the tray off to get her out of the high chair.  :)

This little girl wears a new outfit everyday, not just because we are fortunate enough to have that many clothes gifted and given to us, but because she grows that quickly.  Seriously, this is a 6-9 month outfit, she wore it once, the next day wore a 9 month top and 12 month leggings. 

I just love this picture because it shows her gummy smile.  Still no tooth at 6 months old, and I just know that this will not last long so I am so happy I got a great gummy smile picture.

This little man is growing at the speed of light as well.  He is getting so big and grown up, so fast.  I can’t believe in just a few days he’ll be 4!  How did that happen?

These two are my world!
