15 & 2

Almost 15 months, that is, and two months plus a few days! Last week we did the double doctor's appointment and here is what we know!

Malachi 2 months
He is our happy little smiley guy, he loves his bouncy seat, white noise, his reflux medicine, sleeping 12 hours a night, and clean bibs!
weight: 12 lbs 12 oz (~ 70th percentile)
length: 24 inches (~90th percentile)

The Doctor was so impressed with his tummy time skills, she said WHOA that is like a 4 month old- that is our little stomach sleeper, SHH :)


Sienna (almost) 15 months
Our little spaz! She loves books, her little kitchen, helping burp the baby, unloading the kitchen drawers, making up her own baby signs, shaking her head no, singing, giggling a deep semi-manly giggle, treating her parents like a jungle gym, and she LOVES eating healthy food (of course that is all she knows)- I swear her meals are as big as mine!


weight: 24 lbs 4 oz (~70th percentile)

length: 31 inches (~70th percentile)

We learned her crazy temper tantrums are most likely the terrible twos early and I am happy to report time outs in the playpen have helped SO much!

welcome...

to our chaos! Here is a little glimpse into our everyday happenings!


stirring- oh she loves to stir


chunky thighs & climbing into/onto anything and everything




a few sibling snuggles



big bootie= diaper snuggies and great pinching



anything to entertain


sleepy, snuggly boys-- lucky me!



the baby bjorn is our life-saver




chubby cheeks and scrumptious lips



he loves to pull his hair?!?!




messes and more messes



lots of swinging


and now lots of SMILES from Malachi-- oh aren't they cute??

So the moral of the story is: we wear our pajamas more than we should and we don't seem to be taking any pictures of the tantrums and crying- lucky you!

and he was blessed...

This past Sunday Omar was able to bless Malachi. It was so nice, we chose to do it at home and it made it so much more special for us! Mikey just got a new camera and is enjoying experimenting with it on our family- here are a few of my favorite shots!


my handsome boys-- I AM SO PROUD!!!


the luckiest girls!


our ETERNAL family!


no, there is NO hope of Sienna cooperating for a family picture


the tired clan-- not anymore, Mac started sleeping through the night this week and no that was not even in the blessing :)!


our sweet Malachi wrapped in a blanket from his Great Grandma Vawdrey




Finally a smile from Omar- he is always funny about smiling in pictures but we got him!


a picture with Great Grandma & Grandpa Vawdrey


the blessing clan- at least the family portion

Just Like Uncle Mike

We have spent a little bit of time looking at baby pictures trying to figure out who our littlest munchkin looks like and we have finally come to a conclusion...Uncle Mikey, my younger and only brother! The first day Malachi was born Omar and I sat and looked over our baby boy, we both came to the conclusion he had ugly feet. A few days later we were telling my family and showed them his feet-- Mikey was shocked to see the little feet that are identical to his! And as crazy as it sounds Malachi looks very similar to Mikey as a baby!

the twins, Malachi is even wearing Mikey's blessing outfit


the ugly feet-- take a close look







the sleepy boys-- do you love the bib Sienna put on Mikey??

OuR mErrY chRisTmaS

Christmas has always been a relaxing holiday, wow two kids can change that!


It seemed pretty relaxing for this little cookie though!

the traditional Christmas pj picture-- Sienna loving her baby

helping daddy & Uncle Mikey put her new kitchen together


checking out her new cool kitchen-- she LOVES it!

who knew we could have skipped the gifts and just given her bows


she fell in love with Maddie's new baby doll cradle- she obviously thought she was the doll




and boy is it fun to sit in a pyrex dish when you are one!




how cute is this tired little munchkin sporting our favorite Christmas shirt?!? NO we will not have another newborn wearing this next Christmas!!!

we needed a cute picture with out littlest baby!


Utah brought us lots of snow for Christmas, so we put Omar to work- does he not look like a San Diego snow-shoveler??




So Christmas may not be relaxing anymore but when you see this smile who cares!!!
