Our happy little princess

Our little princess is getting so big. She is such a happy baby, especially since she has finally cut her first tooth. We went through a really fussy period, but as soon as that tooth cut, she went right back to her happy little self. She is crawling all over the place now. She reaches and pulls up on anything she can. It is hard to believe she is almost 9 months old.

Look at that smile!

I am such a big girl standing up

all by myself.

She loves playing at her leap frog

table.

Out to dinner for Sydney's birthday

We went out to dinner for Sydney's 4th birthday, and since I am so far behind in posting, I never put these photos on. The girls love to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, especially with their daddy. This is where she picked to go. There were some cute pictures I wanted to share in here.

I am now "4."

Rylee's missing another tooth

Rylee lost a second bottom tooth right away. It was so loose and she really wanted it to come out, so she let me try to pull it out. It didn't take much. Here are a few photos of us trying to get her tooth out.

Waiting for the tooth fairy

Rylee has had some loose teeth for quite a while now. She has anxiously been waiting for one to fall out so that the tooth fairy could pay her a visit. When she got home from school one day, her bottom tooth was hanging by a thread, so I convinced her to just let me pull it out.

Here she is with a big gap on the

bottom, but so excited!

Close-up! She loves to stick her

tongue in there now.

tooth fairy. Oh, and I forgot to mention how this made Sydney crazy. She was scared to death of the tooth fairy coming.

So proud and excited

Kamryn's big day!

We finally got Kamryn's ears pierced. I have been wanting to do it for a while now, but everytime I went, I left my camera, and I really wanted to have pictures of this. So, while taking a quick weekend trip back to New Castle, my mom went with me and had her camera along. She was 5 months when we had them done, even though, I am just posting them now.

She still has no clue what is coming.

Here we go!

That was not very nice mom.

With the other two, I timed it just right for a bottle following the piercing, but Kamryn's schedule was a little off. I tried some apple juice, but she was not having it. She really only fussed for a few minutes, then fell asleep and has not really even known they are there.

Way overdue

Ok, so I have had a lot going on, and have not posted in what seems like forever. But, I am going to try to get somewhat caught up. I like to keep things in order, and was missing pictures, so that was my actual hold up. HA!

New Year's Eve kids style

Sick and all, the New Year's celebration still went on. Rylee had her second round of strep throat and we were at the doctor's office this morning, but she still wanted to party. Nana and Meme got lots of noise makers and snacks. They played games and the wii at home while Brad and I went out. It was a great New Year's. Thanks mom and Jan for helping with the girls so we could go out too.
