Caid Quotes

While I was getting ready, Caid came in the bathroom and was going through all my makeup and hair stuff. She said, "You have such pretty stuff. I can't wait til I'm big like you to have pretty stuff."

We were driving and out of nowhere in the backseat, I hear "Shut up!" She immediately knew she was in trouble and goes, "Sorry, it was an accident I say shut up, bro."

Our nightly routine is to lay in bed and watch "Friends" and Caid usually watches with us (a routine we should probably end due to the fact that she picks up on everything!!) One night I said, "Should we go lay in bed and watch Friends?" She answered right away, "I've already seen that a million times. Boring! Boring! Boring!"

My sister is Kalee Faamoe. Caid calls her "Key Fullymilly."

Alex took her for a slurpee. He teases her relentlessly. When they got home he called her a spoiled brat. Without missing a beat, she said, "Mom, Alex called you a brat!"

Caid is bilingual thanks to Dora. While helping Kalee make cupcakes, Kalee told her thanks for helping. She answered "No problemo." She runs around saying "mochilla." I had to ask someone what she was saying. Apparently she was looking for her backpack. She was pretending Jordyn was falling into the alligators and yelled "rescatar amigos!" (rescue friends)

10 Months

I can't believe how fast time goes! I feel like I was just barely having all nighters with her, feeding her every 2 hours and now she's coming up on a year old! I've cut her down to 2 bottles a day to get her used to when I cut her off from bottles and switch to sippy cups and milk! Yay! She is eating whatever we eat and loving it. She loves Caid, hates to be strapped in her carseat, hates the stroller, loves to play in the dog food. Her new favorite game is to push Franklin out of the way and throw all of his food on the floor out of his bowl. This last week I made my first (and I'm sure not the last) call to Poison Control. I took Franklin out to the bathroom, came back in 30 seconds later, and I could hear Jordyn but couldn't see her. I finally found her wedged behind the fridge eating rat poison. She is into everything! She loves to scream, especially in church. She loves to "shake it" if she hears music.

You're Welcome.

*freebies2deals.com This website is my new addiction. I am constantly checking for new deals to be posted and there are a few each day. I missed out on a brand new double jogging stroller for $12.99 last week because I left the house to run a few errands and didn't check for a few hours. I made up for it later that day and got a single stroller for $7.49. I don't really need another single stroller but my little umbrella stroller is falling apart so I figured why not!?

Stubborn

You know when you hit that wall when you are so tired and just lose it for no reason? This was Caid's night. We were brushing our teeth and she was just fine...and then I turned off the water. She started throwing a fit and wouldn't stop. I pride myself on being a fairly patient person so I told her goodnight and if she wanted to stop throwing a fit I would take her to bed. She never stopped, so I went to bed and was almost asleep when Zach asked me for the tenth time if she was okay, if we should check on her, if she was going to freeze on the cold tile floor...(I knew she'd eventually wake up and go to bed)What a softy!

So far in 2011...

When did she get so big!? Caid went to her first friend birthday party! It was a princess party and they were supposed to wear their princess dresses. Caid got a Dora princess dress and high heels from Grandma and Grandpa Eldredge for Christmas. She wears the shoes all the time but still hasn't gotten into the dress up stage. I told her it was time to get ready for the party so we needed to put her dress on. She said "Umm, maybe tomorrow." So I finally convinced her to wear it and she loved the party and playing and the second she got home, she said "Mom, get this off me."Happy 4th birthday Emie! (the princess in the crown)And I've realized how these two girls just keep getting so much stinking cuter every single day! This is them modeling their new Christmas pants from Aunt Kalee.Caid is a ham thru and thru. She is so witty, so fun, so grown up. She loves to play with Jordyn and gets so excited for her to wake up from her nap. She is potty trained and doing wonderful! She still wears a diaper at night but I forgot to put one on her the other night and she stayed dry. I tried again last night, but we weren't so lucky...Caid is back on insulin and we've had to keep increasing her doses. I think her pancreas is finally shutting completely down so she will soon be completely reliant on shots. She is doing great with it, though. She gets most of her shots in her bum (cuz she's so skinny everywhere else) so every time its time for a shot, she tells me I have to scratch her "tooty" after to make it feel better. She loves to watch movies and has been rotating between "The Grinch," "The Incredibles," and "Despicable Me." I took her on a date to see "Tangled" and she sat through the entire thing, with her drink and popcorn. She loves to help me clean the house and is very good to mind if I ask her to do anything! She also sleeps in until 10 or 11 every day and was not thrilled at all on Sunday when we had to wake her up for 9:00 church!Jordyn is HAPPY! I took Zach on a birthday date last week and the girls came to lunch with us and Zach's parents and then his parents took the girls while we went to a movie. (HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY ZACH!!) I missed Jordyn so bad just in that 2 hour movie! She is just such a sweet addition to our family. I remember after I had Caidence that I couldn't believe I could love someone so much and I even told Zach I didn't think I could have another kid because I didn't know if I could love them as much. And amazingly I do! She rarely cries, she's almost always attached to my hip, but now that she can crawl she's enjoying exploring on her own and causing trouble. She gets into everything! She hates getting dressed or her diaper changed and it either takes two of us to pin her down, or a 10 minute process of letting her crawl around naked and then listening to her scream while you hurry and wrestle some clothes on her. She also sleeps in until 9 every morning which makes for one very happy mom! Jordyn is just about as easy going and mellow as they come.I sure am one lucky and proud mama!!
