Mateo: 6 month check up

Before we went on vacation, Mateo had his 6 month check up.

Weight: 18 pounds 4 ounces

Height: 26.5 inches

Mateo is almost sitting up now, however, he seems more interested in standing than anything. He is able to scoot backward on his stomach or back. Mateo still doesn't sleep through the night. For the past couple of weeks Mateo is getting up between 2:30 and 3:30. He eats and then plays for close to an hour and then will want to eat again and sleep. I have tried to let him cry himself to sleep and I tried giving him filling food before bed and nothing is working. Please let me know if any one has suggestions.

Happy Easter

Once Kaden found the Elmo egg the hunt was over. She was not interested in the rest.

Gymnastics

Last Saturday Kaden started gymnastics at My Gym. We really liked it and so did Kaden. We will be going every Saturday for now.

Sleeping Beauty

The other night I went to check on Kaden and found her holding her baby doll while she slept. I had to take a picture of it because it was to cute.

What we have been up to

Mateo loves his veggie baby food. He also loves to make a mess. Please take note of his foot on the tray. Mateo always lounges in the highchair while eating and always has at least one foot on the tray.
Yum Yum, I love black bean soup even if it is messy.

That cutie pie!

I don't know if you can notice in this picture but Mateo has blond/dirty blond hair on the sides of his head.

Kaden loves to listen and dance to music. Here she is having fun listening to music with Daddy.

Kaden loves her new book bag for school. We had a hard time getting her to take it off to go to bed.

Ready to go to school, I just need my shoes on Mommy.

We made a new play area in our living room. The kids love it!

Kaden 15 month check up

Kaden had her 15 month check up. She weighs 26 pounds and is 32 inches long. She is in the 90th percentile for both her height and weight. She is talking a lot and saying lots of new words. Some of the words she says are bubbles, shoes, turtle, tickle tickle, and fish. She loves the outside, the dogs, and now she is interacting more and more with Mateo.

Mateo 5 month check up

Mateo had a good 5 month check up. He weighs 17 pounds. The did not do his height so I am going to do this at home. We have to take Mateo to the eye doctor because it seems like he has Strabismus. I made the appointment and the first available was in June. Please pray that everything will be fine when we go.

Mateo has been rolling over for a while now, he eats solid baby food with a spoon and loves it!, he smiles all the time but won't do it for the camera, he loves his sister and gives big smiles when they are together.

Mateo getting ready for St Patricks Day

Young at Art Museum

Mateo is getting sooo big.

We went to Young at Art Museum for a Dr. Seuss Birthday Party. Kaden had fun running around and playing.

Mateo hung out with Mommy while Kaden played.

The museum had different sections for different countries. Each section had an art project related to the country as well. This section was for Haiti.

Kaden LOVED banging on the drums.

Our Weekend in Pictures

Kaden and Mateo played together in Mateo's crib. They are interacting more and more now. It is so cute to watch.
They are really entertained by his crib toy.

We have another thumb sucker.

Enjoying floor time.

Kaden in her new dress and flip flops. She knows how cute she looks.

Watch out, I'm on the go.

Kaden now can climb in the chairs. She loves to sit in Mommy's chair at the table.

Update in Pictures

Kaden loves to play in Random's crate.
Poor Mateo has to use Kaden's pink seat. It is ok he is secure with his manhood.

I can finally put Kaden's hair in a pony tail. As you can see she was thrilled. 2 seconds later she had pulled it out.

My little man is getting so big

Kaden carries this bag around as a purse. She walks around strutting her stuff saying bye bye. It is so cute.

Mateo 4 months old

Mateo is 4 months old now. Time is flying by.

Weight: 16 pounds 10 ounces

Height: 25 inches long

Our little boy has gotten big. We say he is going to play football just like his Dad. Mateo now rolls over, can push up on his arms, makes all sorts of noises, laughs, and has eaten rice cereal with a spoon. I remember with Kaden I couldn't wait for the her to reach every milestone but with Mateo I want him to slow down. It seems like everything is going by much faster now. We have also noticed Mateo is quite the ladies man.

3 month check up

Mateo had his three month check up last week. The doctor was very impressed with his ability to hold his head. She said that usually babies can't control their head like this until they are 4 months old. Of course we are proud parents. He is a big boy, weighing 14 pounds 10 ounces. We think he would have been over 15 pounds had he not been sick the weekend before.

Grandma Boo's visit

Grandma Boo came down to visit for the weekend. We really enjoyed getting to play with her but it went by too fast.
