Ray Recap

The Ray boys and the Van Sickles had fun at the Rangers game :)






We went to play at The COOP and these are the best pictures I could get of my 3 rascals...




Cason went to a get to know you kindergarten meeting at his school last week. I can't believe my baby will be starting kindergarten in LESS than two weeks. 


This boy is all about his LEGOS lately :)



This little cutie keeps me busy all day. She's crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything :)



There's that tongue!






Sweet Corbin loves his naps and he would take one everyday happily. However, he started having trouble going to bed on time at night---it would take him a really long time to settle down and go to sleep. I'm sure it doesn't help that he has a playmate sleeping right above him :)

So we traded naps for quiet rest time in his room. He can watch a movie or read books in his room. This way he is ready for bed on time and he still gets some rest/quiet time and some time away from Cason---because let's be honest they need a little time apart each day. Or it could just be that I need them to have a little time apart each day---a little time each day with no ARGUING :)

Sometimes he still needs an actual nap and on those days he has to take a nap. But most of the time, we just have quiet time. Yesterday he fell asleep on the couch after dinner. I guess yesterday would have been one of those days where he needed a nap. 




We made an impromptu visit to Tyler this weekend and had a great time visiting with family...

10 Months

Chloe, you are 10 months old---here's what you've been up to this month...

*You can still wear a few 3-6 month outfits but you are mostly wearing 6-9 month clothes now.
*You wear a size 3 diaper
*You finally got your first tooth. It is your bottom left tooth right in the middle. This little tooth made its appearance 2 days before you turned 10 months old (8-3-15). 
*You are crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. You are just starting to learn how to sit back down from a standing position. No cruising along furniture yet. 
*You nurse 4-5 times a day. You had a 5 day streak where you didn't wake up for your 5:30 am feeding and I was so excited----HOWEVER, we are back to our regular schedule this week. You are a great little sleeper at night and you take 2 good naps during the day. 
*You LOVE squeezable baby food pouches more than anything. You are willing to try lots of finger foods but you usually only want a couple of bites. So Puffs, Cheerios, Yogurt Melts, and all the other usual baby snacks are not real popular with you. You do really like cheese and blueberries. 
*You were pretty quiet this month but you did start babbling dadadadada :)
*You try really hard to clap and wave but you don't have the hang of it just yet. You are really good at giving high fives :)
*This month you learned how to put your pacifier back in your mouth all by yourself :)
*I'm pretty sure you understand the word NO and you love to test your limits. You know playing with the blinds and door stoppers are off limits but you still crawl over there to play with them anyway and  you like to turn around and smile at me right before you do it!!!
*You love playing with your two brothers and they just ADORE you!!! 
*You are such sweet, happy little girl!!! 

I know I said this last month but it is SOOOOO hard to get a picture of you these days. You were NOT happy about taking your 10 month pictures. I tried to take them that morning and I finally just had to give up and try again later that day. 

You wanted to climb all over the chair and your tried to crawl off every 2 seconds...












One brief little smile...



And you took your 10 month sticker off SEVERAL times.



I thought you might take a picture with your brothers but I was wrong...


When we tried later that day, you were much more cooperative...






















All three of my babies at 10 months...
