what we've been up to...

Camryn turned 4 months, she is getting so big.

Stats: 13 lbs 7.5 oz and 25 inches long

She is about .5 lbs above what Ellie was at that age and the same height. She is just the cutest little thing giggling and talking and having no interest in learning to become mobile until Feb 22nd when she finally rolled over. It is actually a rare occurrence to see her frown.
Other than that we have been playing at the beach, parks (Ellie picked me a pile of wild flowers while at the park, so cute), aquarium, taking walks, decorating cookies, playing at the play place in the mall, shopping, and just hanging out having fun. *Sorry about the enormous amount of pics but when you have cute kids you just have to keep snapping the pictures*

Quick fun story: We have started doing timeouts with Elliette just these past few days. Yesterday Camryn was playing with the stacking cups and Ellie kept trying to steal them from her so I told her that she needed to share or she would have to sit in timeout. Ellie pulled her chair over to the timeout area looked at me and sat down, I almost busted up laughing, I told her to sit there until she could share so she sat there for about 15 seconds got up and ran off to play with other things.

Annette mentioned that the poopy issues always happen to her at church which reminded me of another story that I had wanted to write about in the last post involving Camryn. This was a few weeks ago and Justin and Elliette were sick so just Camryn and I went to church. We made it through sacrament meeting just fine and maybe 15 minutes into sunday school Cami decided to completely fill her pants. I held her up and quickly checked, I was so happy that I didn't see anything on her clothes and mentioned that to my friend that I was sitting by. Just at that moment Lisa looked down and saw that there was a yellow spot that was slowly growing all along her back and sides. I ran out and thankfully had a diaper with me since I rushed out of the house without checking the bag that morning. Her dress was to covered to just clean off and put back on and because I apparently am never fully prepared (and because they normally don't blow out that often) I did not have an extra set of clothes. I did get some sympathetic smiles and giggles as we went through the rest of church with her just in a bib and diaper and wrapped in a blanket. Thankfully, my dress made it through unscathed cause I never have a change of clothes for myself either. I do have to say that her little rolly polly-ness was pretty cute in just her little bib.

fun stuff

So these last few days have been crazy trying to get things in their places at the new apartment. The place is a lot smaller than the last but a lot cleaner so I am happy. Anyways, on Thursday night Justin had stepped out to run some errands and we had eaten spaghetti that night so I had stripped Ellie down to her diaper. When she was done eating I was getting ready to feed Cami so I just hurried and cleaned Ellie up and let her run around without clothes. After a few minutes of talking to Camryn and feeding her I see a streak of nakedness in the corner of my eye so I look up to see a bare bottom Elliette running across the room. I laughed a little and hurried to put Camryn down so I could get Ellie before she peed on the floor. When I grabbed her and looked over at the old diaper I realized that she had been poopy but thankfully I got to her and cleaned her up before she sat on anything. When I put on the clean diaper she kept undoing the straps and asking "pease, pease" so today I got her a potty seat to get her used to the idea and see if she is interested since she doesn't want to wear her diapers anymore. It did make me laugh to watch her cute little naked bum run across the room having a good ol' time playing.
Friday morning I was exhausted because neither of the girls slept through the night so I didn't sleep well. Elliette decided that she was done with bed at 6:30 that morning so since I was kind of ornery because of being so tired we went out to the living room and I laid on the couch and let her play. I thought I was awake the whole time but apparently I fell asleep for who knows how long giving Ellie enough time to climb up on the table and get the crayons. I awoke to her smiling at me with brown all around her mouth which peaked my interest as to what she had gotten into. After looking around I found 4 crayons, the box came with 8 and I couldn't find the other 4 so I was pretty dang sure she ate them. I looked everywhere and after about 45 min found the other four so thankfully she hadn't eaten 4 whole crayons but she did gnaw on a few of them and only colored on one thing that was easy to wash off thank heavens. Definitely glad I was smart enough to get the washable ones and that crayons are nontoxic.
Today I was just chilling with Camryn playing around and holding her when she decided to let loose in her diaper. I waited a minute to make sure she was done before I changed her so I sat her on my lap. Next thing I know my legs feel very warm so I lifted her up and somehow she peed and pooped all out the back top of her diaper which then spread to my legs quickly and with enough that I not only had to change her but had to change my pants and underwear as well. That stinker has not learned that her bum works just fine and that she doesn't have to push so hard that it shoots out with enough force to shoot it out every direction. Hopefully she learns that soon.

Fun times, I LOVE being a mom!
