Everything was pretty wild that day and I barely got any pictures but I loved getting to watch all the kids have such a good time and C absolutely enjoyed spending her day with all her friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

If you haven't caught on, we have one Shopkins obsessed girl on our hands. We eat, sleep and breathe all things Shopkins. Poor U even walks around saying 'Shockins'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that, all she has ever talked about wanting is a big box of Shopkins. Well, we made her dreams come true and her face was priceless as she opened it.</div>

The end of the year always brings out this need in me to do ALL the things Christmas. By October, I have all our weekends planned for November and December. I cram as much as I can in those last few months.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we kicked off our All Things Christmas by going to craft time at Michael's to make ornaments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JNTsSdv2XIc/WHRJo0PowZI/AAAAAAAAJnY/5C619L7GE2gZpiFq4mxPQUPTPpHZstHpQCLcB/s1600/IMG_5280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JNTsSdv2XIc/WHRJo0PowZI/AAAAAAAAJnY/5C619L7GE2gZpiFq4mxPQUPTPpHZstHpQCLcB/s320/IMG_5280.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
C had the best time creating her little ornament.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later that day, we headed to Nashville to see The Dancing Lights of Christmas at Jellystone Park.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

We've never been and it did not disappointment.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids were mesmerized by all the lights.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ended the night with our annual trip to Gaylord Opryland Resort.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

That little tradition is more for me than anyone. For some reason, it's not Christmas until I walk/get lost in Opryland. :)</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In between our All Things Christmas, we celebrated Thanksgiving with my parents and grandmother but not before B and C had a little Daddy-Daughter movie date.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad and I were splitting the cooking duties so between the movie date and nap time, I was able to cook in peace for once.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We enjoyed a nice little evening with the family and left with our bellies full.</div>

The day after Thanksgiving is the day I put up my Christmas decorations. The minute my feet hit the floor, I'm throwing up the tree and getting in full blown Christmas spirit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That night after everything was up, C was looking at the tree and said she just wished there were presents under the tree. Well, it's a good thing I was 90% done with my Christmas shopping because I made her wish come true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only downside was I had to listen to her for a month ask if we could open presents early. *sigh*</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a bit of unexpected excitement happen the Monday after Thanksgiving. Our lights went out for about an hour but the way my crew acted, you would have thought it went out for days.</div>

This was the first time C had been put in a competition type setting and we talked all week about how she may not win. We even worked on her gracious smile and clap for when her name wasn't called. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, she didn't win but she was completely fine with it. I think she liked dressing up more than anything which was evident later that night when I saw her with her face in her kaboodle applying lip gloss.</div>

We had to make a quick trip to Opry Mills to get U some shoes. I somehow managed to have a son that requires wide shoes and apparently wide shoes in his size are very hard to find. We literally had one option to choose from and naturally they cost more than I spend on my own shoes. Sigh.</div>

I have this thing about the kids being a pair for Halloween. I think it's cute but I'm sure I won't be able to get away with it for long. C wanted to be a Lalaloopsy doll this year and I knew each doll had a sidekick but I thought they were all girly sidekicks. Thankfully the doll she picked (Sugar Cookie) had a white mouse as a sidekick. Whew. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't get a single picture of the kids walking around getting candy mainly because I was too busy opening each new piece of candy U got. He thought as soon as someone gave him candy, he must eat it right then and there. Instead of having a bag full of candy at the end of the night, he had a lot of half eaten pieces of candy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did get a picture of them at the end of the night which pretty much sums up everyone's feeling about the evening. </div>

Halloween night, we went to my parent's neighborhood to trick or treat. I had a friend stop by my parent's with her kids and we ended up walking around together.</div>

We finally got our much needed beach vacation over Fall Break.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My parents, my brother and his family went too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I would love to say it was as relaxing as the last time but we brought along two extra kids under the age of two. And even though we love all the kids very much, vacations are more of adventures than time to relax at this stage in their lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We would start each morning with playtime/puzzle time in the condo.</div>

Of course, I'm not sure Jack felt the same. I'm the Baby Snatcher and when he sees me, it usually means his mama is about to disappear.</div>

One afternoon, we took a break from the beach and spent a few hours at a place that had go carts, mini golf and a few rides for little ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The wind was pretty bad that night so most of the balloons couldn't get up for the glow. Thank goodness for the bounce houses. The night would have been a complete bust.</div>

The next night, we attended C's friend's birthday party. Her friend got a balloon making kit and I whipped out my balloon making skills and made dogs for everyone. I managed to pull out one hat for the birthday girl. </div>

We've been busy this weekend with yet another birthday party where I failed to get any pictures because I was running my mouth the whole time. We also made a trip to see my Nanny for her birthday and finished the night with dinner with my parents. </div>

Another school year came quickly for us.</div>

For most of the summer, C told everyone she was not ready to go back to school but in the last week, she had a change of heart.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(brother couldn't handle not being in the picture)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started the school year not knowing who her teacher is. Apparently, the teacher who was assigned to that class, quit the week before school and they were in the processing of getting another one approved. Only us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
C hasn't skipped a beat though.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has 5 friends from her kindergarten class in her new class and an old friend from daycare. And the interim teacher kept referring the the new teacher as "she" which C caught on to real quick because the only thing she said to me about the whole deal was, 'mama, Ms. Mayo keeps saying she, which means I'll have a girl teacher this year! Yay! I'm so excited!' </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I died. Her kindergarten teacher was male and even though C loved him and he was an amazing teacher, she didn't want another male teacher. Ha. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're praying the new teacher is just as amazing as her kinder teacher and the C and her mesh well together. According to C, the new teacher should arrive this week so fingers crossed.</div>

Here is a big ole post on how we spent our summer.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent almost every weekend in June in the pool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was too hot to do anything else but too pretty to stay inside so we set up a little redneck water park with a water table, water guns, a pool and water balloons.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of the month, Brent's parents came down with our niece, Aubrey, to spend a few days with C while I went out of town on business. C had the time of her life and loved having Aubrey here.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
On the night I got back, my MIL and I took girls to play blackout mini golf.</div>

They were so cute encouraging one another and giving each other pointers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One Friday night, I took the kids down to Franklin's square for their Friday night concert. C has loved going to the concerts for several years and this was U's first experience.</div>

My grandparent's spent their honeymoon there, I've spent a night there (and lived to tell about it!) and my parent's have stayed there too!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
C was less than impressed but for some reason, that place fascinates me. I don't know if it's because they look like tee-pee's or if it's because it was my first night away where I literally thought I would come back home with a deadly disease.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, if I'm ever close, I always want to stop by.</div>

Right after the 4th, my parent's took me and the kids to Atlanta to meet my brother and his family. It had been a few months since we saw them and we were DYING to see Jack.</div>

While in Atlanta, we played at a digital playground which was by far the BEST twenty dollars I've ever spent. It was crazy cool and the kids went wild!</div>

My favorite part was where they colored a fish or sea creature, had it scanned and then it popped up on the wall swimming around! C loved seeing her fish swim around on the wall!</div>

It was a fun filled weekend but we were all about done. My dad made the comment he remembered why he and my mom never took my brother and me anywhere when we were little...it causes you to go CRAZY! I earned ten new grey hairs. Whew!</div>

We ended the summer with birthday celebrations. First, we celebrated my mom's birthday with a pizza party at her house. I took C to pick out a cake and the minute she saw this chocolate one she said, 'that's the cake! Momois will love all that chocolate.' C knows her so well.</div>

The next night, we celebrated my grandmother's 88th birthday at a new coffee shop in Franklin. Our family pretty much took over the place but thankfully the owner, my cousin, is part of our wild group.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And because I wanted to end our summer with a bang, I took U's paci away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

He is a little older than C was when I took it away from her so I knew it was a perfect age. However, unlike his sister, he didn't handle it very well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
B was out of town, which I had planned because there was no way I could handle two whiners, and I *think* I slept maybe 2 hours the first night and maybe 8 the whole weekend. It was rough. Not that it was a little rough with C but she at least slept once she got to sleep. U didn't. Of course it didn't help either that he was cutting two teeth either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My poor parent's got a dose of it when B and I went away for the weekend to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. :/ My dad only got a few hours of sleep the first night and I felt so bad. They said it did better the second night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully, our nights are much easier these days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent the last few days of summer relaxing and preparing for school. C was surprisingly ready to go back and start a new school year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Whew! Now, I'm almost caught up with life. ;)</div>

Life had me forgetting whether I was coming or going last month. I had a job change the beginning of the month so between training someone to take my old job and school coming to a close, I almost had to check into a mental hospital. Whew! I'm glad it's all over but I sure don't want to forget why I got a head full of grey hairs.</div>

Since The Kentucky Derby is a big deal when you live in Kentucky, I decided it was high time for C to learn a few important things about the derby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She had so much fun learning about the derby and really got into the whole thing. Her only complaint was that it took FOREVER for the actual race to happen. :)</div>

I don't remember going as a kid but it is the best place for kids! They had a bird exhibit where you could walk in and let birds land on you. Somehow, Leslie and I ended up in the cage with the birds and we were swarmed as soon as we walked in! It was such a weird feeling having a bird chill on your head. Our favorite, though, was the kangaroo exhibit where we got to walk right up to them to feed and pet them. U got confused and thought the cup of carrots were for him! Ha! I couldn't believe they would just lay there while rubbed on them. It was crazy.</div>

It's so hard to believe she is six. I thought her fifth birthday was hard but I was equally as emotional this year as I was last year. I blamed it on having a new baby last year but I have no excuse this year. Clearly, I just need to pull myself together. :)</div>

It's been a long time since I had everyone together to celebrate a birthday. I can't say it was the most relaxing birthday dinner ever (U didn't get the memo it was my bday and he was supposed to act extra good ;)) but I loved having everyone there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After dinner, we went back to my parent's to hang out before calling it a night. We all had to get one last snuggle session in before Jack left.</div>

The next day was my birthday and the rule in our house is the birthday person gets to pick the activities. Since we were experiencing really nice weather, I decided we needed to go to the zoo. </div>

I wasn't prepared for half the zoo to be closed but there were a few new exhibits that made the trip worthwhile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
C's school continues to amaze me with how much effort they put into making school a fun place. They are always doing special little things for the kids and the other morning when I dropped C off, they were blasting music as they walked in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And even though C says she hates school, she has a huge amount of school spirit. If there is anything going on at the school, she tells us she HAS to go. This was the case with the school's Talent Show. We had zero plans of going but C almost came to tears at the thought of not being there. Mind you she didn't know anyone who was performing nor was she performing but she still felt she had to go. So we went.</div>

I'm actually glad we did. The kids were super talented and did an amazing job. And the teachers? As usual, put on a show stopping performance.</div>

January is our month to do absolutely NOTHING. Our schedule seems to slow down, our social calendar is non-existent and I rarely have a crafting project on the table. I think because all the other months are busy with this, that or the other, I like one solid month of just chill time. It's beautiful.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have no idea how much he weighs (feels like 50 pounds when I have to pack him anywhere. :)) but he is wearing 24 month to 2T clothing, wears a size 5 diaper and a 5.5W shoe.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He babbles non-stop, crawls everywhere and gets into everything. We've caught him saying 'uh-oh', 'U-U' and 'bye-bye' but it's been just once or twice.</div>

Later that night when I was tucking C into bed, I asked her if she had a good Christmas. Her answer word for word, "YES! Santa actually brought me everything I wanted. Not like last year when I got nothing I asked for." Cue me coming unhinged on the inside. Let's keep in mind she made a list last year too but two days before Christmas made up a whole new list. I told her it was a good thing we made a list this year so Santa knew exactly what she wanted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She tried to change her list this year a week before Christmas but I told her the only way for Santa get the change in time was to go sit on his lap. Since she is TERRIFIED of him, she replied, "Nah. I'll just wait until next Christmas." Ha!</div>

I'm guessing he is around 30ish pounds, he wears mostly 24 month clothes and a size 5 diaper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He decided he would become a crawler this month and naturally the first time he did it, we weren't there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was on a night when the kids and I were staying at my parent's. He had crawled just a little bit before I headed out the door but apparently crawled cross the room while I was gone. Thankfully my dad took a video of him crawling. After that, it didn't take him long to figure out he could go all kinds of places and he is constantly crawling around the house. So far he hasn't gotten into anything major that he shouldn't. He tried one night to get in the dog's food bowl but we shut that down real quick and he hasn't touched it since. And to be honest, he hasn't touched my Christmas tree either. He has swiped at his a few times but has yet to break an ornament or knock it over so I consider it a win.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He hasn't said any new words but has found that he loves saying mama. B tries to tell me that's not really what he is saying but I think he is just jealous that he doesn't say daddy 24/7 anymore. :)</div>

We are still struggling with transitioning over to real milk. I've bought several different kinds of sippy cups but he won't even consider putting one close to his mouth. He also doesn't like it cold so we have to put it in a bottle and warm it up. My goal is to get him off the bottle completely by the end of the month. We might just have to do it cold turkey which I'm pretty sure is how did it with his sister.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He got another tooth this month and another is trying to poke out. He is a BEAST when teething. He becomes super whiny and isn't happy with anything you do. The other night, we laid him down at 6pm because he had whined for two solid hours and refused to eat dinner. Refusing dinner was a huge red flag that he wasn't feeling life and he ended up sleeping a solid 12 hours! He woke up a much happier baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's about all that has happened this month. We are gearing up for the holiday's and U's first birthday. In four weeks and we will have a 1 year old. The thought nearly makes me want to throw up. Why does having children seem to speed up life? At least I can say we are enjoying every minute of it.</div>

This year for Thanksgiving, we drove to Indiana to spend the holiday with B's family. We spent Thanksgiving at my brother-in-law's where we ate too much and the kids played hard together.</div>

We went back to B's parent's to relax and hang out or so I thought. At 8:30, B got restless and wanted to go shopping. We sent him and his dad out to scope out the crowds and grab a few things. Classic B got flustered over the TWO things I told him to pick up and came home empty handed so I went back out with him and we knocked out our entire Christmas list!</div>

The rest of the night, the kids played while the adults chatted and caught up on life. We left Sunday morning thinking we would beat most of the heavy traffic. Not so much. We all were dead tired and this morning was by far one of the worst reality checks we've had. C kept yelling no over and over this morning when we were trying to get her out of bed. She is her mama's child.</div>

My dad (the photographer) and I decided we wanted to take the pictures at WKU's campus. There are several cool places to take pictures so we decided to try it out. I'm very pleased with how they turned out despite U being completely DONE 30 minutes in. Short nap and almost dinner time is a bad combo for him.</div>

There are about 50 horrendous pictures of either U throwing a fit, someone with their eyes closed or me jumping up calling quits on the whole thing. I'm pretty sure a paid photographer would charge me double for the hot mess we always seem to be on these days.</div>

We've actually had a pretty good week this week. Last Saturday, we joined some friends for tailgating before the WKU football game. C had a blast running around with all the kids and the adults enjoyed talking and hanging out.</div>

Later that afternoon, we had family pictures and they were pretty much a nightmare. U was done after about 20 minutes and cried unless I feed him Teddy Grahams. It turned super cold quick so our session didn't last long. Thankfully, my photographer (aka my dad) is free and can deal with me calling it quits mid-photo. I can only wrestle a crying 30 pound baby for so long.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sunday was supposed to be the usual church day but U had other plans.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zKEO6sg5KeE/VkEFoN4FyeI/AAAAAAAAI9s/J04PqPeP_RA/s1600/IMG_2894.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zKEO6sg5KeE/VkEFoN4FyeI/AAAAAAAAI9s/J04PqPeP_RA/s320/IMG_2894.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was pulled out of Sunday School before it even started because U was throwing the biggest fit any of us had ever seen. He was dead asleep when they tried to switch him off to the Sunday School nursery workers and this obviously ticked him off. When I finally got him, he was barely awake but managing to cause quite the scene. I grabbed both kids, our stuff and ran out like a woman on fire. I left poor B standing there like a deer in the highlights as I peeled out of the parking lot. He doesn't move fast enough for me. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I headed straight to urgent care because I knew something wasn't right. In the back of my mind I knew he probably had an ear infection. It took the doctor 2 seconds to confirm what I already knew. We got our meds and U took a nice long nap after we got home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the plus side, this week has been an awesome week for C. She got chosen as a Leader of the Week in her class and Monday I get a phone call from school telling me her teacher gave her an office referral (a good thing at our school) for taking the initiative to help a student without being told. As part of the reward, she got to talk to me on the phone from school. She has been DYING for a referral. She was a bit of a teacher's pet at daycare and her teacher always bragged on her so she has had a hard time adjusting to not being a favorite. I kept telling her just to keep doing the right thing and be the best she can be and one day it would pay off. Well that day was Monday! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After her gymnastics glass, we took her to eat at a restaurant of her choice and ice cream to finish the night. She was beyond excited.</div>

She also got recognized in class for making good choices this week (something our school stresses to the MAX). Sadly, those good decisions didn't extended into our house BUT I've always said my kids can act like heathens at home as long as they behave out in public. C has that rule down pat. She will be the death of me.</div>

Uryah Bayles is 10 months old!</div>

And when your 10 month bday falls on Halloween, you get your monthly picture taken in your Halloween costume. Later you will see how much he loves his attire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Uryah is in the 28 pound range, wears 18-24 month clothes, wears a size 4 shoe and a size 5 diaper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Naturally because he is larger than most babies his age, the question we get asked EVERYDAY is, 'what are you feeding that boy?' Well this...</div>

He has no shame in his eating game. It gets shoveled in at a rapid pace and he lets you know how good it is the whole time he's eating.</div>

I have found that he isn't too found of Alfredo sauce but other than that, he still pretty much eats anything we put in front of him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course we still have to share our snacks whether we want to or not. #mamadoesntlikesharingheroreos</div>

In the last couple of weeks, he has started backing off some of his bottles. Normally he will get half of it down and then refuses the rest which is great for my wallet (so long thirty dollar formula) but he doesn't like regular milk much either so I'm not sure what we are going to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
U still isn't walking or crawling. He gets almost on all fours but refuses to go anywhere but he is pretty good about scooting everywhere so I guess he sees no point in it until I walk away. Then it becomes a REAL big deal. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Uryah and C's relationship continues to grow each month. She has always loved being in his face but now that he is pulling up and really into playing, she is stuck to him most days. She has been amazing at realizing my time has to be shared when U is awake and when she wants to play a game, it has to be one that she doesn't mind U completely destroying. We usually wait until his nap times to get in our really good games and/or girl time.</div>

I keep thinking there will be a day when she will grow tired of him but she really loves having him around. It may have something to do with she can make him laugh the loudest and how he loves watching her act all kinds of crazy. Rarely does she ask to get him away.</div>

Halloween was really fun this year. I was pumped about the costumes C had picked out for her and U and since it was on a Saturday, there was no rushing around. It was wonderful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started the day with a silly string fight.</div>

I remembered late Thursday night that U didn't have a treat bag. Usually not a big deal to anyone because they would just buy one from the store except for C's first Halloween I had a bag embroidered and then I bedazzled it with an orange feather boa. Clearly, I couldn't just buy one for U. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My mom was able to find me a lime green bag and I cut out a design on my Silhouette.</div>

We hit a few houses then came back to my parent's so C could hand out candy. It's her favorite part of the whole night. Go figure.</div>

To finish off our week, C's school had their fall festival on Friday. B ended up getting sick on Friday so I hauled both kids to the festival and it was a nightmare! There were so many people jam packed down the halls and throughout the school you could barely move. Poor C is just like me and completely shuts down in large crowds. And since I was having to pack U and my arm was getting numb, we left after 30 minutes.</div>

C LOVES her some TPAC shows and they have yet to disappoint! The show was based more on the book than the Disney version so C keep saying 'but her dress is supposed to be blue not white.' Ha! Other than that, C was loving it! Clearly they both did.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Side note: People are commenting on how long C's hair is. It's her choice to have it this long. Her goal is to grow it to her bottom then cut it off above her shoulders. We will see if she actually goes that short but her hair is hers to do with. So even though I've had long hair the majority of my life, I've let her make the hair decisions within reason. She would love for it to be 10 different colors but that's where I draw the line. </div>

Unlike everyone in a 10 county radius, the Millers kept their hind ends out of Florida. Brent and I both took off so we could enjoy a week of doing a lot of nothing but hanging out as a family. We did bookend our week with short trips out of town but for the most part, we stayed close to home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our Fall Break craziness started with a trip to Indy for our annual hangout with B's college friends. Every year, we get together with B's baseball friends and their families. Sometimes a few of us don't get to make it because of life and/or children but this year we were all able to make it and we all had a blast!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have 6 kids under 6 between us who barely remember each other but somehow, they all got along and played so well with one another.</div>

I really wish I knew the conversation between these two. I'm envisioning C bossing since her hand is on her hip and her finger is pointed but I'm hoping she is just giving him bowling tips. He followed her around the rest of the day so he either likes being bossed or really appreciated the advice. ;)</div>

She loves our little library down from us and asks to go all the time. I wish I could say she is there for the books but she is mainly there for the computer and Legos. *sigh*</div>

C was SUPER focused in the store. I had all these envisions about skipping around the store and getting the doll's hair done and looking at clothes but C had other plans. My dad had given her spending money and she was laser focused on spending that money. Her main goal was to GET THE PJAYS!!!! She hit that store running trying to find the perfect pjays for her doll and she couldn't focus on anything else. If I heard, 'I've GOT to find the pjays' once, I heard it a hundred times and it's not a big store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once we found THE pjays, I talked her into picking out a couple other outfits. Once we got out of the store, we immediately had to find a place to change her doll's clothes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
C loved being around all the grown ups and especially Leslie. I am so thankful that Leslie doesn't mind C needing to be beside her all the time. She followed her around all morning.</div>

He has his bottom front two teeth, can pull himself up and loves standing propped up. He can say dada, mama and huh. At his check up, the doctor asked if he was crawling. When we told her no, she said, 'well we see that a lot in our larger babies. They just have more weight to have move around.' Ya don't say. He will have to get used to packing around extra weight because he LOVES him some food.</div>

I told Brent tonight that I knew a boy would eat me out of house and home but I expected it at 16 not 9 months! He eats almost as much as I do. He gets a whole packet of oatmeal for breakfast. For lunch, he has started eating whatever they are having at school. Then at night he will eat what we are having. We still haven't found anything he won't eat. He also still takes 4 8 ounce bottles a day.</div>

We've spent a lot of time outside the last few days and he is just happy as can be. We will put him in his swing beside C and he won't make a sound or move until we get him out. This information has been vital the last week or so. U has been pretty fussy for some reason but the minute we get him outside, he is a calm, happy baby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

U is starting to show us he is going to be a true boy by destroying anything he can get his hands on. We've learned liquids or nothing of value can be placed within arms reach or you can bet his hands will find it. The other morning, B made the rookie mistake of putting his coffee in front of him while getting C her food. Thankfully, it only spilled on the table and floor and missed U completely. Unfortunately though, we were in public and had to move tables so we were quite the show. I'm thinking eating out is going to be put on hold until he is a little older. Between us constantly moving things out of his reach and him being super loud while he eats, it's just too much. I know he is just a baby but we are THOSE annoying people that you hate sitting next to at restaurants. It's the season we are in and I know it won't last long so instead of exhausting ourselves, we will hit up the drive thru and make our mess at home. :)</div>

Last week, we got a much needed visit from my brother and sister-in-law. We've not seen them in person since Uryah was born and with their baby on the way, we had to get in some face time before they are unable to travel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knowing that this would be their last visit until after the baby is born, I HAD to throw them a shower. ;) My aunt and a family friend help me pull it off and we had a wonderful time celebrating Baby Mayeur.</div>

I went with a tribal theme because it was different and I knew I could make most of the decorations as well as gather things from my house.</div>
