3 Months Old

Kambria is officially 3 months old now and she is changing everyday. She is so big now compared to when she was first born. But she is getting more adorable everyday and you can really see her personality coming out. She is very sweet and she has the best smiles. Whenever I get upset at Delson, all I have to do is look at Kambria and her beautiful smiles melt my heart. Even though life is much crazier with 2 kids, I wouldn't trade either of them for the world. I love them both so much!

Also, our yard is coming along slowly. We had to wait for a week for an irrigation specialist to design the sprinkler system in our backyard, but now that we have that, things are moving again. Right now Alex is working on putting the rock around our backyard and tomorrow he is renting a trencher in order to start laying the sprinklers. Hopefully we can lay sod next week. Yeah! After sod, we only have the fence to finish. I am hoping that when my mom comes to visit 10 days that the grass will at least be in! I don't think those are too great of expectations. We will see.
Delson loves to pretend that he is talking on the phone like I do. He is so hilarious. He carries on conversations in his own language and even fake laughs. In this picture he is actually holding a play remote control to his ear. I will try to get him talking on his phone on videotape and post it on the blog soon.
Delson hated chicken nuggets until I introduced him to ketchup. Now he can't get enough of them!
This is the stack of burp rags that I have to wash every 3 days because Kambria spits up so much. Gotta love that baby puke.

Posing after church last Sunday. Look at those chubby cheeks.
Another Sunday dress. So pretty! (Double chin and all.)

Daneen found this adorable outfit for Kambria. They just have the cutest clothes for baby girls these days!

Kambria Is 2 Months and Other News

Well Kambria is actually 2 1/2 months old now, but she just had her 2 month checkup. She weighed in at 13.3 lbs and 24" long (both in the 95%-ile). She is still a big girl, but I am glad that she has lengthened out quite a bit to match her chubbiness. She is still a very good baby girl. She has been struggling a bit more with gas lately, but I remember that Delson's worst gassy month was between 2 & 3 months, so I am hoping this will be the worst month for her too. However, I am glad that despite all of her gas, she has still been sleeping between 6 and 8 hours at night. I can't complain about that at all. I am so proud of her. That long stretch of uninterrupted sleep does A LOT for making me a very happy mom and giving me the energy to chase after Delson.

Delson is also doing really well. It is hard to believe he is 16 months now. He is becoming a very smart boy. This week Alex taught him how to do Tarzan, so Delson will beat on his chest and holler and it is really cute. Also, he is telling me when he wants to go down for a nap. Today I asked him if he wanted to go "night-night" for a nap and he went into the other room and brought me out his blankets and waved his hands "goodbye" at me (which means he wants to go to bed). So I laid him in his bed and he went right to sleep. He can be such a good boy.

In other news, our backyard is coming together nicely. We had some landscapers come this week and in 2 days they built this massive retaining wall. Alex pretty much designed the whole thing too and I think it looks great. Finally, we are getting somewhere with our backyard! Alex will start working on getting sprinklers in and laying sod and hopefully by the end of this month, our yard will be done. It is amazing to think. I can hardly believe that we have lived here for a year and half and now we are just getting our backyard done. I am super excited!

Pretty girl.
My aunts got Kambria this cute chick coverup for Easter. Love it!


Bath time...Kambria loves her baths.
Delson had a sleepover last night with his girlfriend, Jaylie. Delson was excited about it, but you can tell Jaylie was not. It was pretty funny really.
Delson is going to be a piano player (hopefully). Like the milk on his face?
The backyard before the wall. We HATE tumbleweeds.
