4 month doc appt

So yesterday was the big shot day for 2 girls. Trista was tough and got hers done fast but she was good because she knew she got to pick where we ate lunch afterwards. She weighs a big 40 pounds. She isn't feeling to great after her shots either poor thing.

Natalia had her 4 month appointment. So sad how fast she is getting. It was funny when the doctor was trying to check her tummy she wouldn't quit curling in a ball to play with her toes, which she loves so much. He was blown away at how huge she is since she is only a couple days of being 4 months. She was 15.2 pounds which was in the 88%. She is one solid little girl. Her length is what blows us all away she is 26 1/4 " long (started at 20 1/2) she is way off the charts in that department. Doc says I must have some amazing milk haha. So proud to say she is doing wonderful and everything is perfect with her. Besides not feeling good right now after her shots. She is one happy little girl. She went out with me today to help Ryan in the horse corral and our horse Sage always seems to want to investigate her its so funny she can't figure out what Natalia is its so cute. 

Big Eater

Well Natalia decided she needed to be big because she wanted food. She was getting so mad when we would eat and not share with her. She took right to eating no problems at all. She now gets mad if she doesn't eat. I think Ryan and the girls are enjoying taste testing her food as much. I think its all grose but thats me.

This is what she thought of cereal...she hated it even when I mixed it with other things.

this is her eating applesauce which she loved but so not as much as she did carrots.

Random Natalia Pics

Here are some just random pictures that we have taken so far this month that I thought were cute.

Natalia in her first snow suit...it got so cold for awhile she had to have one

everytime I got a strawberry bar out to eat it she would go nuts and wanted some so I let her taste and she loved it...Ryan figures she really likes the cold on her gums.

this was Natalia and I the week we were really sick Ryan took a pic of well me sleeping...he said he tried to take Natalia but she just wanted me to hold her. She is so precious and a lot of the time just likes snuggling with me.

what a precious smile she has to make someone smile...

Mommy and Natalia

So I always get pictures taken with the girls when they are about 3 1/2 months old and I didn't want to skip this one. So Ryan wanted to play photographer. Some came out cute but he really wanted outdoor pics but it was just to cold for us since we had just been sick and it was blowing and raining all the time at this point. So here are just a couple he took. She is so beautiful and getting so big. 

I have more to come so keep checking back...

Ryan and I love this pic. Just as he took the pic she got me haha i loved it.

Mail

Well the Christmas season is coming so fast. Well first we have to help my mom make it to Thanksgiving. She says only 3 weeks from today because that is when Tyler flies home for like 1 1/2 days from school. She is just a little excited haha.

I in turn tag anyone else who reads this and has some time. Go to your 5th file and post your 5th picture.

halloween

The girls had so much fun trick or treating last night. Trista was certain that she got to go trick or treating when she got home from pre-school (at 11:30am) she was so bummed she had to wait for Vanessa to get home and eat dinner and get ready haha. But I'll let you know she did servive. Mima showed up and helped them get ready and loved taking pictures. 

Trista was a witch. Of coarse we told her she didn't have to dress up haha j/k she loved that her dress had fiberoptic lights in it she light up good.

Our pirates of the caribean fan was a pirate. I think she wasn't feeling good because she sure wouldn't smile in any pictures

Natalia with the girls pumpkins. Yes her first Halloween and her first pumpkins.

Our Pink Lepord. Gosh don't take the sucker away or she would get very mad. 

Natalia with Daddies Goblin. This is his favorite holiday. We have tons of decorations.

The girls aren't they so cute. Trista couldn't quit loving on Natalia it was so cute. She loves being a big sister. They went trick or treating all over with daddy. Then came trick or treating here and then got Natalia and I and went to Doug and Nancy's and to Mima's. Since she wasn't feeling well we didn't want her out but thankfully it wasn't to cold and she was warm. We got more then enough candy. I thought they'd be on a sugar high when they wanted to stay at mima's but mom said they crashed like 10 minutes after we left so that is great haha. 

Carving Pumpkins

After all these years Ryan finally got the girls to do their own pumpkins. I came out long enough to take a couple pictures and went in the house since Natalia and I have been sick all week. The girls were so excited in telling me what they were drawing when they came in for a pen it was so cute. 

The girls with their finished project. Vanessa's has a triangle and a square eye and circle nose so creative. Trista did amazing at drawing hers I love the tongue that she has on her pumpkin.

Daddy had to cut it all out. For some reason he didn't trust them with a knife haha. I wonder why Trista knife no way. 

Girls cleaning out their pumpkins.

Girls starting to draw on their pumpkins. They did a great job at being creative.

Rabbit Cage

So the bunnies that my wonderful mother bought a few months ago finally got a new cage. I told my mom that she bought the dumb things she got to make them a cage so they would be protected from the winter. So after a few days of building and lots of little girls help haha she got it done. The bunnies seem to love it. 

Ya Trista thought that it was fun she could even fit in there and play. Kids!

The bunnies Mudd and Snow

The cage. Ya look as usual the horses are snoopy and have to inspect what is going on. They are very nosey haha.
