One and Three

It's crazy to think that my babies are getting so big. Xavier is 3 and Owyn is 1.  I have a One and Three year old.  They are a lot of fun and most days they make super interesting you never know what's going to happen with the two of them around.  I thought I would share a little about their Doctors appt.  I took both of them together and it was a bit of a crazy morning.   Xavier was in one of his moods....its my way or the highway and you to do it, its got to be his idea.
















So we started with Owyn as she was more then happy to see Dr. Halbur.  So her stats at One:  Weight: 23.6lbs Height: 29inch, Head 45.5cm  She got 4 shots (two in each leg) Also got to have a blood draw to check for lead and hemogloben level. Doctor said she was growing wonderful and doing wonderful.  As far as eating she is totally on all table food and has been for a month or more as she started refusing baby food.  She done with the bottle completely and on to sippy and doing wonderful.  As for sleeping we do pretty good most night she sleeps from 8ish to 6ish and then naps 30min in am and 2ish hours in afternoon.  Each day her walking is getting better and better and she really tries to keep up with Xavier.  She really enjoys climbing and is a big dare devil.
Now for Xavier's 3year stats: weight: 37.8 height: 38inches and BP was 84/48  Xavier was also suppose to to and eye exam which he complete refused to look at and says the pictures he could see. After seeing Doctor she sent us up to audiology for Xavier to have a hearing test which we was also a stinker about. We got in the room he sat in the chair and let the lady put on the headphones and she went to the other side of the mirror and was talking and playing the sounds but Xavier was refusing to point or raise the hand to tell us which side the sound was coming from.  So we gave up on that.  The Doctor said we will try next time to see if we can get him to play the "games" but she not to worried at this point. 

Xavier was playing Dr. and needed this band-aid for and old ochie that he got from fighting with the kitchen gate and his sister.



Owyn on her First Birthday!

Those moments...

 I love when Owyn is resting like this with her hands behind her head.  I think she gets this one from her daddy as he tends to sleep like this.
 Who needs the bathroom when you have a tree to use?  Xavier is fully day potty trained now and thinks is fun to use the tree even though the house bathroom is just in the door and around the corner.  It makes me laugh because he pulls is pants down to his ankles and lifts his shirt all the way up but this time he got him self pretty well concealed I think he knew Mom got the camera.
 What can I say we have a little nudest on our hands most evening after bath, getting him to his room and clothed can be a big challenge and I think it was this night that started it all.  If I remember right the conversation went something like this, Daddy "Come get your jammies on Xavier"  Xavier laughing running down the hallway "I'm busy"  Xavier head over and starts getting out the dishes.  Mommy says " If you don't get your jammies on then Mommies getting the camera and going to take your picture."  Xavier "I like being nakie butt" Mom snaps a picture and laughs as she says to daddy "He going to love us at graduation when he finds this picture!

May Trip to Dubuque, IA

I apoligize for the delay in new post.  My computer has been broken for over a month and I hadn't been able to upload pictures so now that I am getting caught up I thought I would go back in time a bit to share a few pictures from the last month or so.  In early May we took a long weekend trip to Dubuque, IA for Andrew's cousin's wedding, which was also our 5th year Anniversary weekend. Unfortenly Andrew was sick most the day on Friday so we didn't end up doing much we just hung out. Then on Saturday we were able to go sight seeing with Grandma and Grandpa Beougher and Grandpa Rail tagged along as well. We say a lot of the city and old town and then our last stop was to the dam and were were able to see a barg coming through the lock.  Xavier was very interested in this and this is were his birthday boat them was kinda built from.

 Then in the afternoon we headed to the river for the wedding is was a wonderful sight to get marreid.  Andrew missed the wedding because he was helping the brides parents as one of them locked their keys in the car so Andrew got to stand out with the car and wait for the locksmith.  After the wedding it gave us time to get some great pictures or attempts at some pictures of the four of us.
















The other fun of the weekend was staying in a hotel with a pool.  The kids enjoyed being able to go for a swim and the pool was pretty much ours we didn't have to share to much.  Xavier had a bit of a scare the first night when we went swimming as he didn't have his life jacket on right away and was on the steps but then next thing we know he stuggling to keep his head out of the water so he took a bit to warm up but once he did he was a jumping fish he had so a blast jumping into the pool.  Owyn enjoyed floating around but was much happier when Mom or Dad was holding her and letting her be a bit more free.
