11 Months and Grateful

 I made it 11 months which means I am quitting nursing! Hopefully I have enough milk stored up from pumping to last another month. Woo woo! I have either been pregnant or nursing or both since September 2014 so I am ready to have my body be just mine for a small second.

 

She fell asleep like that, holding onto her little handle! Also, Kyle is the baby snuggling king :) They fall asleep on him 90% more than they will with me.

• Tai still eats anything and everything. I'm pretty sure she holds a records of sucking an applesauce pouch dry in less than 10 seconds. She would never even be able to tell you the flavor.
• Aaanndd she's obviously still bald.
• BUT she finally grew her 4th tooth so she doesn't look like a can opener!
• Still not quite walking, but will walk with the walkers!
• Sometimes while I'm pumping and can't hold her, she'll come lay her head on my leg and let me rub her back while she sucks her thumb. It's the cutest little thing! The only time she'll kind of snuggle.

 October Temple Date!

I was so proud of myself for almost going an entire month without ever eating out, but we went to Olive Garden after the temple. I'm not even sorry.

 Naomi came to sleepover one night and they were so cute watching "Roo!" together :)

Kasen is a little to crazy for the girls in the tub though.

 Yes, they both love to sleep with blankets over their heads. Freaks Kyle out, but Tai won't stop.

Her favorite thing ever is crawling around the house with a blanket or pajamas on her head too.

I think Kasen was covering his head to sleep though cause he was scared of the glow in the dark stars that we put up on his ceiling. We thought he would love them, but they lasted a week.

 

He LOVES this Duckie sticker book that Grandma Annette gave him though! He carries it around everywhere with his handful of stickers and is so cute when he licks them to stick them on. I have had to tape up his book a few times already.

He's gotten so much better about sleeping in pajamas and in his bed too, but sometimes he'd still rather sleep next to his pajamas than in them...

• He asks for glasses whenever the sun is too bright for him in the car.
• He is not into potty training at all. We've bought him underwear and sat him on his potty seat multiple times a day and nothing. He says, "No Way!" every time. Although we are trying to get him to say "No Thanks" instead.
• He has started to Shush me when I sing sometimes and tells me to just listen.
• He threw up the week after Halloween and kept asking me to kiss his tummy cause it hurt. It was so sad, except that he refused to throw up in a bucket! He prefers to toss around when he feels sick and make a huge mess. Then a few days later he had a fever all day and took like 4 naps on the couch by Kyle. He's all better now though!
  
  
• When he wants me to get something or do something for him he tells me that he is busy.
• He asks for cookies sometimes and when I tell him we don't have any he tells me to "Mix it"
• Sometimes he stands on our scale and says, "30 pounds, good job!"
•  After I was his hands after he eats, there is a certain tile he'll stand on then count to 4 and run to the living room. Their little rituals are so funny!

I'm excited for the holiday's coming our way. It will be busy, but magical!
Plus I have already bought our matching Christmas pajamas and our 2017 Christmas tree ornament so I feeling pretty on top of life right now. We'll see how long it lasts ;)
