• Bear with me, there is just a lot of randomness going on.
• Brandon’s cousin got married over the weekend. It was beautiful and fun but taking 2 kids to a wedding is a TON OF WORK. Tons. My sister ended up getting Brayden from us around 8 because he was over it, but he was really well behaved. By the time we got home and K ate and went to bed? Past 11. So late for me these days, and I am exhausted.
• K still isn’t totally interested in the sippy cup and HATED the bottle. The pediatrician said to stick with the cup and she will get the hang of it. I am SO hoping it’s soon. I know, it sounds terrible, but between teeth, her being disinterested, etc, it’s just time.
• Brayden is talking nonstop and it’s so cute, but half the time, I feel like I need a translator!
• Over the weekend, my mom, sister, and I were making lists for her wedding! I am SO excited! It will be here before we know it.
• I am tired.

Kenley and Brayden had well checks like 2 weeks ago and I forgot to post about it. Brayden was 32.5 inches, 31 pounds- pretty much still 75th percentile for everything. The peanut, well, she’s a peanut. 11 pounds, 15 ounces (10th percentile) and I can’t remember length but it was 50th percentile. They are happy, healthy, Brayden’s speech is progressing- not much to report, I suppose! Kenley is rolling from tummy to back (not all the time) and is very, very close to being able to sit up on her own.

Didn’t we just bring her home? Seriously.

She is in 3-6 month or 6 month sleepers, and some of her 3 month pants are getting a little on the short side. Brayden is all of the sudden outgrowing 2T everything, and I just bought him 2 new pairs of shoes in a size 8. Overnight, he just grew! He will for sure need all new shorts this summer.

We got a promotion for satellite radio for my car. We have never subscribed but once in a while I get a 2 week free trial! It’s pretty awesome, but not really something I wanted to pay a lot of money for. Well, with this last 2 week trial came a card where I could get it for 6 months for $25! What a steal, right? Brandon said if I could give up my weekly Starbuck’s for a month that I could get it. I called to activate and now I just have to get the signal sent when I leave the house. Pretty excited!

I started a book for Kenley on Shutterfly right after she was born. I WISH I would have made one for Brayden, but oh well. So far, I am up to 59 pages…eesh! It’s turning out really awesome, and once a week I try to sit down and keep it up to date.

I found a very unhappy surprise in my car a little while ago- a leaky zippy, full of chunky old milk- it left a nasty smelling spot right underneath the driver’s seat. My hubs will not be thrilled I have a feeling. SO I guess after K wakes up and is fed, I will head out to the garage and try to get it out! Ugh.

• Hubby has his eyes fixed with LASIK surgery this past week! Much needed. He isn’t a very easy patient, though, that is FOR SURE. He isn’t a “rester”, he’s a “I constantly have to be doing something” kind of person.
• Kenley has a slight cold, but I really thought it was an ear infection. A trip to the pediatrician yesterday said otherwise, and she is definitely feeling better. I was getting concerned because she wasn’t latching/eating very well. A sore throat explains it!
• Low key weekend planned here. I am going to see a couple girlfriends this morning then probably just hang out at my parents house. Not sure what the boys have planned but I am sure it will be a good time.
• Brayden climbed in our bed when I got up with Kenley and fell back asleep. The snoring coming from that room was pretty epic.
• Brayden’s new word this week: Mine. HELP US ALL.

What are your weekend plans?

My brain is scattered today, so lucky YOU! YOU get to read it al here!

• Kenley had her 2 month appointment yesterday. She was 10lbs 2 oz, and 22 inches long. Girl is growing! Doctor said she looks great. I didn’t have any questions for her about Kenley, but I did ask her what her thoughts were on Brayden’s sleep disruptions. He has been getting up in the night and crawling in our bed. He wants the tv on, but doesn’t cry/have a fever/etc.I just tell him that it’s not time to get up (because its been 2am, 4am, 5:30am) and put him back to bed- and he is fine. She said that since Kenley’s arrival, his sleep pattern is just disrupted. She told me to give him 3mg of Melatonin (one tablet) one hour before bedtime for 3 weeks. This will help his sleep pattern, and in turn get him some more REM sleep, which he desperately needs! We started Wednesday night, and so far, so good.
• I am in the baking mood! UGH. My waistline is going to hate me when December is over.
• I only have a few Christmas gifts left to buy! WOO! I have done a LOT of my shopping online. I love online shopping.
• I have a photo shoot tomorrow. I am nervous (like always) and have decided after this one, I am going to step back for awhile. I need to practice more, learn about lighting, my camera, etc. We’ll see what comes this spring.

Today, I must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. My patience with Brayden has been very, very thin, and I am just trying to compose myself so that I don’t say/do something I will regret later. He is happily watching Toy Story 3 on my lap right now, so that’s good!

I am really looking forward to this short week- knowing that Brandon will FOR SURE be home Thursday so we can spend Thanksgiving with our families is making me very, very excited. He didn’t work yesterday- thankfully- but it is always such a tease! I dread Mondays.

In case some of you missed my photo last week- I got a haircut.

This is how I looked when I left the salon. I LOVE it. My husband, however, is NOT impressed so far…but it’s just hair. It will grow back. It’s a big change but definitely better than chopping my hair off. I have been growing it out for a year now!

How was your weekend? Are you ready for Thanksgiving?
