12 months Jade! Happy Birthday!

Totally forgot to post this haha.. Better late than never!

I can hardly believe this little one of mine is 1 years old!

Things about this cutie pie:
Weight: I weighed her on the scale the other day and she was about 23lbs- He legs seem to be thinning out since she started walking. & 31"

Teeth: 11 Diaper size: 4
Clothes: I have been buying her 18 so they fit longer.
Shoes: We just bought her these cute little purple & pink shoes size 4.

• She loves to carry her stuffed animals every where, specially Aiden's puppy.
• She likes to stack the Playdoh. So cute.
• She loves to chase and be chased by Aiden around the house. They laugh so hard together. It so great when they get along. Some times Aiden is just too rough.

She loves her baby doll & likes when she says mama! So cute. Looking so big in her new carseat!

First pony tail!

This is how we keep her entertained at church during sunday school! Its gonna be a long 6 months until she can go to nursery.

Cute outfit she got from Grandma Achatz for Christmas. Cutie pie!

She loves to read books. She will plop down and read and read. Pointing with one little finger and jabbering. 

She loves going on walks and being outside. She loves to be free and go where she pleases.

She loves Toy Story like a lot! For some reason that and LeapFrog puppies is the only shows she likes.

I love getting her out of her crib when she wakes up. She is so happy to see you and squeals!

Being silly wearing bowls on her head.

Look at that wild hair.

First piggy tails. So cute that she likes the baby in the mirror. 

Daddy and Jade.

Can you tell I am obsessed with her piggy tails!

She loves cheese, eggs, yogurt, yogurt puffs, strawberries, oatmeal, pretty much any meal i grind up. She def likes really food over baby food.

Silly baby.

She is just as much of a stinker as Aiden at this age, only she is 11-1/2 months here and he was 13.

She loves patty cake. So cute how she rolls her hands and throws her hands in the air.

She decided she would take a ride in her babies stroller.

She loves to sit in baskets.

She loves going for stroller rides.

Likes wearing Aiden's helmet around and asks to wear it.

Stinker baby.

Tired baby. Love that she fell asleep on the floor.

Stole Aiden's water and his puppy. What a mean sister. Luckily Aiden only cares to have his puppy when he naps or for bed time other wise he doesn't care.

She loves bath time! I found her in the tub one day. She loves the bathroom and so I have to keep the bathroom shut. She has also recently discovered that slashing in the toilet is fun too... :(

Caught in action- climbing into the tub.

I love her cheese face!

She loves to walk around wearing things around her neck. Aidan's jammies, blankets, towels. Whatever.

Cutie in her car seat. So happy.

One day she really didn't want to take a nap. I found her sitting up and asleep. We moved Jade's crib back into the other room so that they could nap separately and its been a lot better. So has bed time. We put both of them in their rooms at 8-8:30 and thats that.

Crazy haired baby!

Such a funny baby!

See she likes to wear thing around her neck!

Yah for birthday shopping! :) She loves wearing her crowns.

She loves playing in Aidens room. Now that she can climb onto the big bed using Aiden's bed.

Dancing to the train music. So cute!

She got really excited to wear Aiden's cap. So cute!

The Saturday before Jade's birthday we went to a park on Base. The kids had so much fun!

Love these two!

Happy Birthday Jade! 

She had a lot of fun opening presents. We faced time both our parents so that they could watch. She would pull the wrapping paper off piece by piece. 

I made her cute little smash cake and cake pops.

She seemed to like her cake. She didn't smash it but preferred eating with a fork like Aiden. Guess my kids don't care to be messy! Cute little princess! 

She got a bunch of cute outfits, a puppy dog, Rainbow Dash My little Pony, some cute books, a walking Kitty cat, & a play remote.

Grandma Neesey made this cute bday shirt for her.

We had such a fun day celebrating Jade's birthday! We sure are blessed to have her in our family! We love you Jade baby!

Aiden 34 months

  Not too much has changed for this little boy. He is getting better at talking and is becoming a chatter box. He says the funniest things and gets the funniest ideas. He is full of so much energy and is always on the go!

Favorite things to do: Play with Jade- he likes her to chase him, riding his bike outside, playing with his Go Go Smart wheels, playing Bad Piggies on the iPad, watching Toy Story: He loves Buzz, playing with his flash light & "measure" - Jerel's tape measure. 

Favorite Food: Not much has changed, bread sticks, pizza, apples, strawberries, grapes, bananas, yogurt, cheese, pb&j, corndogs, olives, chips, Wendy's. He packs food when he doesn't like in the side of his cheek. Stinker.

He is getting better at saying his prayers and knows how to end it. Jerel and I help him to know what to say but sometimes he says what he wants which can be kinda funny.

I will often hear him singing the ABC's which he used to skip F but doesn't any more. He also likes to sing the Leap Frog Letter Factory song with all the sounds. So cute how he knows them all and will do the sound with the action from the movie: He kicks when he say the K sound & licks when he say L.

He loves & I mean LOVES to have his feet tickled. He will lay by me on the couch, pull his socks off and ask for me to tickle his feet. His Jerel's son, thats for sure!

He really gets into his movies and tells you all about them as he watches them. He understand a lot of what is going on which is fun.

This is one of his new places he likes to play, one of the cupboards in our bathroom.

He loves to play with his "sticks" of course.

He loves his Kinect Sand!

Splashing in the tub with Jade.

Watching Daddy play his computer games: "Shoot the bad guy!" Yeah i think he was watched Daddy play too much...

Watching Toy Story with Jade.

I walked out of the room for a second and came back to find Aiden feeding Jade her cottage cheese.

Love this boy.

Connecting numbers and drawing a Dino at Chillies with Daddy.

He loves to help us grocery shop, following me as I get the things we need. He likes me to hand him the items so he can put them in the cart. Really, its the only way to keep him contained and near me. 

I could kiss those cute little lips all day! I love that he puckers and holds it until you kiss him. He is really a sweetie when he wants to be.

This is how I get to take a nice hot shower in the mornings- I turn on Toy Story and I sneak out and they are right where I left them when I get back.

I'm so glad he loves his bike, finally its about time.

Its nice to have the double stroller for walks cause when he gets tired of riding his bike he can jump in next to Jade and all is good in the world!

He is the master mind in this little duo of trouble making.

Playing Bad Piggies with Daddy. I love his sweet little smile and laugh!

I love these too kids of mine!

This is another one of their favorite hang outs...
