First Pedicure

30 September 2012

Aunt Carly and I decided it was time for Brooklyn to have her first pedicure. We painted her toes on Sunday and they looked so cute!! It took both of us to paint her wiggly little piggies. Carson also wanted his toes done, so we clipped them and it make him feel special.

When September Ends....

29 September 2012

The last week of September we spent around the house. I hurt my knee playing soccer in an indoor game (more on that later), so we didn't leave the house much. We had lots of fun together though!

Carson LOVES playing with my phone while I get ready in the morning. I have lots of educational apps and books that he can play by himself. One morning he snuggled up close to Brooklyn and was showing her how to play the game. Brooklyn seemed like she was really trying to figure it out.

Carson and Brooklyn both love their baths before bed. It's part of our bedtime routine and they know that after the bath we get our jammies on, read scriptures, say prayers, and then go to bed. Every once in a while I will surprise Carson with glowsticks to play with in the tub. He gets so excited! Even Brooklyn held one this time!

Carson has started carrying around a baby that he found downstairs. I will randomly find it "taking a bath," "taking a nap," "eating dinner," or "going to sleep" around the house. The past few days I have rocked Brooklyn to sleep on my chest and Carson saw me doing it. When I came to tuck him in the other night, this is what I found. He is going to be such a good big brother.

Brooklyn has started sucking her thumb when she gets really upset. The other night I made her fuss a little when she was going to sleep, and I found her sucking her thumb when I went in to check on her.

Carson and Brooklyn love to play together. The other night, Carson wanted to give Brooklyn a horsey ride. It was really cute.

My 2 kiddos are becoming the best of friends. I can't wait to see how much more they play together as Brooklyn gets a little bit bigger.

Little Miss B-Rook

27 September 2012

I can't believe how big my little girl is getting. She is such a sweetie and everyday her personality comes out just a little bit more. She is very ready to be moving! She rolls both directions no problem, and if you set her down somewhere she will roll around and be in a completely different spot when you come back.

She FINALLY started taking a binkie when she is really tired and ready to go to sleep. We tried 6 different types before she finally found one she liked. It is a lot easier to get her to go to sleep and stay asleep with her binkie.

Carson really loves his baby sister. The other day he asked if he could get her dressed. When I said yes, this is what happened.......

These kids of mine...

Batman came to our house. He ran around like a crazy person and then proceeded to throw a tantrum on the floor.

Turns out he was just really, really hungry.

Mr. Potato Head has also made his appearance. Carson thinks its pretty cool to arrange his face.

Carson thinks that Brooklyn needs to learn her shapes and colors....

Brooklyn is just hanging out and being a sweetie!!

and Carson likes to make messes with his sensory bins (or pans). :)

S'mores

Fall is here. It's getting a little bit chillier at night and it's a little crisp in the mornings. For FHE this week we pulled out our fire pit and made s'mores. Carson liked helping daddy with the fire and thought it was pretty cool to roast the marshmallows. Brooklyn slept through most of it and Jason even broke his diet for one night to have a S'more with us.
