Erilyns way of writing to Elder Hammond

A few weeks before landis left on his mission i was searching on pinterest and come across all of these fun thing to do with babies feet prints. I got the idea to do a different one fore each month/time i write him that way he can watch her little hands and feet grow while he is on his mission. I do them with London when she is here and when other nieces and nephews are here also.

Ghetto reindeer hahaha this one didn't turn out great cuz i tried to use stamp pads witch didn't work not only for the actual prints but i had to draw on the details ha ha oh well..... its the thought that counts right?

Getting better!! Kamdyn did a blue snow man ( I didn't have paper dark enough for a white one) Brynlee did the Bird and Erilyn did the penguin.

And for valentines coming up London and Erilyn made "hugs" to send him.

Erilyns adventures.

Love the look on her face in this one. Notice she has a cookie i was trying to get her to eat breakfast but she kept on pointing to the cookie, i wouldn't let her have. Finally she threw a fit so i got her out and she gave me hug or so i thought she reached for the cookie.

I left her eating lunch while i ran to the bathroom when i came back this is what i found.

She did this by her self and would get mad when i tried to take it off haha.

She is starting to climb on everything.

Being silly, poor bald baby!

Playing with her toys

Left for two second i don't remember what for and this is what i came back to they had completely emptied out London's brand new bag of wipes!!

One night for dessert we had oreos and set the empty bag on the floor she played with it and even found some crumbs!!

Eating is very tiring!!

I love this picture she was playing with our rings one day in church and i snapped this pic.

She wore this to church the sun before Christmas.

Big girl on Christmas day

My little climber!!

I was cooking dinner one night and she was playing quietly in the living room or so i though!!

She was so proud of her self!!

Erilyns one year apt.

Her apt. went great she is growing well and staying in about the same percentages. She does still have an ear infection though so she is on a different anti-biotic to see if that will help. Poor baby girl is pretty miserable today she has 4 teeth coming in, an ear infection and she got 3 shots.

Weight? : 19 lbs  7oz (20%)
Height? : 31 Inches (90%)
Teeth? : She has 8 and 4 mollars coming in
Hair? : Definitely Alot more then before it  looks redish now.
Crawling? :Yes she is crawling for real now and is getting fast. She has rug burns on her knees and tops of her feet because she wont keep socks on and usually takes off before i can get her pants back on after i change her bum.
Cloths size? : She wears 6-9 month pants, 12 month onsies and 18 month pjs.
Sleeping? : She is such a good sleeper but the last few days have been kinda rough for her I'm pretty sure its those stupid teeth again!!
Bottles?: NOPE! When she ran out of formula and started to drink big girl milk she also ran out of bottles and is now using only sippies or big girl cups :-) She takes a sippy of milk in the morning and one at night with 2 or 3 water/juice sippies during the day.
Baby food? : Yeah right! She thinks she is a big girl and wont let us feed her any more so she eats what ever she can feed her self
Real Food? : Yes she gets mostly big girl food or Gerber graduate snacks and dinners really anything she can feed her self she will eat. Some of her favorites are string cheese the graduate snack bars and the graduate pasta pick ups.
Talking? : She is quite the babbler now she says mom, dad, whats that? It sound More like wus tat and will just sit and laugh and talk to her self.
Laughing? : Yes a ton she she has learned to do it for attention and loves to be tickled and played with
Smiling? : She is still super happy and smiley. she has started to make faces for the camera when she sees it.
Walking? : Nope, she does love to hold on to your hands and walk around in fact if she cames up to you and grabs your hands and you don't walk with her she gat mad and throws a fit.
She is quite the climber and loves to pull everything out of all of mommies drawers and try to put them on her favorite are bras cuz they stay on easiest haha.

Erilyns Birthday Party

So since Erilyns Birthday is so close to Christmas we have decided to celebrate her birthday on her original due and it turned our perfect this year cuz it landed on a Sunday so after church we came home and decorated for her birthday party and at 3 everyone came to celebrate with cake and ice cream.

We decorated with all her pics done at fotofly and of coarse some monkey stuff.

Wearing her coat Aunt nisha got her

Yummy ice cream

I wasn't even paying attention and grabbed her a cupcake to eat and i picked the one with her name on it!!

Isn't that so stinking cute!!

Wendover

 Last weekend we went to Wendover with Travis mom, step dad, sister, aunt and grandpa to just get away for the night we left on Friday after noon and came back sat afternoon. We saw a Gary Allen concert it was fun to have some alone time with Travis and some well needed time away from the baby. Not that i don't absolutely love being home with her 24-7 its just nice to have a break and not worry what she is getting into. It was fun but boy did i miss my baby this is why I'm not a working mom i couldn't do it and don't know how some moms do. Its just not for me.

Our room, we almost upgraded to a hot tub room since it was to cold to swim but it was 95 bucks!!

Grandma and step Grandpa

My handsome husband!

Great grandpa and Aunt Mar

Get jaw looked at/fixed?

This was one of the things on my to do list for this year. For a few years now my jaw has been popping when i open my mouth. I never thought much of it. Until a few weeks ago when it locked!!! It wasn't completely locked shut i could still eat most things and talk, mostly it was just irritating. Finally my husband decided it was probably best that i go get checked out by our doctor so we called and went in this morning of coarse our doc was out sick, so i saw another doc in the office. I was telling him all of my symptoms( of coarse it finally unlocked as we were driving to the apt.) Anyways  he says he is almost positive it is Temporomandibular jaw Disorder or more commonly known as TMJ .At least we know what it is and he prescribed me some muscle relaxers and in anti-inflamitorypills if it locks again. And gave me some tips for helping it not do it any more. He said to talk to my dentist and see if he has any further instructions or concerns and that if it doesn't seem to help i will be seeing a TMJ specialist. YAY not really, its just annoying to not be able to open my mouth with out popping or locking.

2013 Hopes, Dreams and Resolutions

I'm not really one to make and/or keep resolutions but this year I'm going to try. I agree with many people that if your going to better yourself that you don't have to wait for a new year to do so. But we do have some stuff we want to get done this year. Namely.......

• Save up enough money to fly to Alaska to see Grandpa Troys house.
• Become pregnant with a little brother or sister for Erilyn :-D ( This wont be for a few months)
• Potty train Erilyn (ASAP!!! Im tired of Changing diapers!!)
• Get Erilyn in a big girl bed so Said little brother or sister can use her crib :-D
• Cook dinner for my family more often and by this i mean from scratch. ( o boy!!! )
• Keep paying off debt
• Get more Financially stable
• Get jaw looked at /fixed?
• Get out wisdom teeth ( OUCH!!!!)
• Pray more with Erilyn.

I think that's about it!! Hopefully we get them all done!!
