Halloween Cats

This year we dressed up as cats. Mia went to a pre trick o treat party first. For a two and half year old, she was doing great. She didn't like the skull or Darth Vader costumes but she was brave enough to hang with the big kids.

Heads Up

Trick o Treat

This year the theme is cat and we have three cats in the house.

Three Month Old

Kenzie is three month old today.

At the Farm

We go to Cox Farm for the pumpkin festival every year. Mia has grown from a baby in my carrier to a toddler who went down the big slide by herself.

Sisters

petting zoo

Columbus Day, Mia is off. We went to the petting zoo next door. she fed the birds, had a wagon ride and petted a snake. She wasn't afraid of the snake but was afraid of the ferocious sheep and goats that were fighting for feeds.

Sleep Update

Kenzie fell asleep last night at 8 and woke up at 5:30 this morning. It was fantastic. Lately after midnight, she only needed one feeding around 2 and would wake up after 5 again, perfect timing when I go back to work.

I weighed her today. She is 15 lbs for two and half month old. She is now wearing 9 month sleep and play.

First stroll

Kenzie had her first stroll in the neighbourhood yesterday. Mia was home sick from a stomach flu. She walked Kenzie.

Sleep Training Update

Kenzie has been doing great. She goes to bed around 8 and wakes up for first feeding around 12 and second feeding around 4. Today she's still sleeping at 5 am. Soon she will be able to sleep through the night.

Mia words

Since the delivery I still have the mommy tummy. Mia has been commenting that "mommy's belly is big". So embarrassing!

Mike broke his wrist playing basketball last Friday night. Mia is aware of the cast and sling. This morning Mike called me on the way delivering Mia to daycare. "Guess what your daughter just told me? " He asked me. I could not guess. "She said: I will give daddy a new hand and I will give mommy a new belly". I flipped out.

Kenzie 2 months

Kenzie is two months old. Before summer is over, I dressed her up for pictures. She's growing so fast, she's already wearing 9 month sleep and plays. 6 month clothes are even too small for her. She's a very talkative baby. She also shows her emotions through a lot of facial expressions. Comparatively she's more alert than Mia when she was two months old.

2 month well check

Kenzie is 13 lbs 2 oz, 24 inches tall. She is at 88% of weight and 97% of height. She is 2.5 oz lighter than Mia when Mia was at her 2 month checkup. She had three shots today and an oral doze of vaccination and developed a fever.

She had a fever for two days. Now it's finally behind us.

Baking

Mia helped with baking today. We made a dozen of lemon blueberry muffins.

Kenzie went to music class

Game Day

Party

Mia went to Evan's party today. Evan has been in her class and is now going to the three year old class. Her mom made an awesome construction site birthday cake for the construction theme party. Mia had a ball with her classmates.

Sleep Training

I can't believe we are doing this again. I checked the blog from last time around. We started sleep training Mia at 7 weeks. The routine goes at 7 pm bath then milk then crib. If baby cries, picks up and soothes and lays down. We do this many times until she falls asleep on her own in the crib.

We started Kenzie today. She's a gassy baby so I couldn't lay her down immediately. Now she is fussing and I'm waiting next to the crib. Lets see how it goes

I picked her up once then 8:35 she fell asleep. Nanny picked her up once at 8:50. I took over. She burped again and spit a little. I lulled her for one minute and put her down at 9. Seems like this time around it will be longer.

Halloween choices

I asked Mia what she wanted to wear on Halloween. She said "kitty cat". Then she said daddy would be the "kitchen". She immediately corrected herself "daddy will be the chicken, no, the CHICKEN." She then proceeded to say "Kenzie will be horse and daddy will be cow". I asked her "what's mommy going to be?" She said "mommy will be cow!"

At the park

We all went to the park today. Kenzie seemed to have enjoyed her outdoor time too. Mia had a ball.
