Erilyn 3 1/2

I just realized I didn't do a 1/2 year post for Erilyn. She turned 3 1/2 on June 22.  She love to be a big sister and is excited for the baby in mommies tummy to come out. She insists its a boy and gets mad if you tell her its a girl so fingers crossed its a boy other wise we will have one mad little girl. She is getting to be so smart she knows my phone number and her address. But for some reason always forgets how old she is. She loves playing dress dress up and making messes. one of her favorite things to drink is " warm chocolate milk" she warms up chocolate milk in the microwave all by her self for 30 seconds and loves it. She claims that her favorite food is pizza but since we rarely have that I say its actually Salisbury steak. She is currently In a size 10 shoe almost an 11 and is in size 4 or 5 clothes. She is super sad that the school by us wont take kids unless they are 4 on the first day of pre-school and keeps asking how much longer till she can start school. She loves primary and her teacher and even spoke with us few months ago in sacrament meeting . she said/ sang the word to her favorite bedtime song " I love to see the temple" and said in the name jesus Christ amen. She loves to say prayers and often reminds us when we forget. Enjoy Erilyns 1/2 year pics...

Enslie 18 months.

Here are some of my favorites from our recent fotofly shoot. She want in the best mood but they still got some cute ones.

I love this one because you can see she is not happy to be with big sis at all.

Weight? :23 lbs. 12 oz  (60%) She is 12 oz heavier then big sis was at her age.

Height? : 34.2 inches (98%) Still super tall. big sis was 33 inches tall so just over and inch taller.

Teeth? : She has 16 !!! ( 8 on top and 8 on bottom) her doc says there a signs of canines coming soon

Hair? : yep almost ready for another cut!

Walking?: She tries her hardest to run but just ends up wiggling her booty more and not going much faster.

Cloths size? : we switched her  to 2t a few weeks ago and to my surprise they aren't to big on her :-( the pants even stay up with out a belt.

Sleeping? : She has recently decided that its fun to wake up at 430 ish this really sucks as getting up that early makes me really sick. We asked the pediatrician about it and she was stumped the only suggestion she had was to maybe cut the nap short and/or make her bed time later. We even converted her bed to a toddle bed to see if that would help. That made it so that when she woke up this morning she played instead of bug us.

Sipies: She is still using straw sipies but loves drink out of a big girl cup to.

Food? : She loves cereal, yogurt, crackers, and anything some one else is eating.

Talking? : she says mom, dad, airnin (Erilyn), no, ouch, eees ( please), did do (thank you), owe, ou ( out), baby, lub oooo ( love you), nie nie (night night), ath (bath), bye uh nono ( I don't know). She is also starting to repeat what we say but these are the words she knows and uses all the time.



She has a contagious smile and laugh. she loves and wants be just like big sister but is scared to death of her at the same time. She very rarely will watch tv she would rather play with toys and eat. She likes to help me clean and fold laundry making last 10 times longer. She loves baths and playing the water but does not like splash pads. She is very interested in potty training and will sit on the potty wipe and flush it we are still working on the going part. But in time she will get it im not into the whole potty train in a week end thing you gotta let them take their time and get used to it first. Im do excited to see what and who she becomes!!

Erilyns picture taking skills.

Erilyn took my phone one day and took some pictures there was a bout 90 of every picture.

Hammond reunion 2015

This year for the reunion we rented a huge house in ogden and did stuff down there. On the way we stopped at the hill airforce museam the kids had fun running around.

All the cousins minus Erilyn she was being a butt and wouldn't get in the picture.

After we found food and went to local park so the kids could play and eat.

 All the kids corralled in the baby gate. This lasted about 2 seconds before a fight broke out and most the kids were taken out.

 We had to have some popcicles!

one day we went to a childrens museum this hosrse was out side while we were waiting for every one to find parking spot Erilyn petted it and loved it.

They had a castle and dress up there were a bunch of kids who kept ruining the play they tried to put on but the kids liked the dress up stuff.

FIRE!!

This little girl was having a ruff day she slept almost all day I was worried she would be up all night but she wasn't she slept all night. we decided it was a combination of not having her bed to sleep in and dehydration. every time she was awake all she wanted was a sippie then she would pass out again.

lego table of cuarse kamdyn was in heaven!

Kamrin and Jared built this. Travis healped alittle.

I was stuck holding a sleeping baby so I didn't see it but they had a baby nursery and hospital area Erilyn loved playing baby doctor as you can see.

This was a huge music room they had every instrument you can think of.

Waiting for the cars to be loaded up to head to gold corral for breakfast before heading home we also went swimming one day but I didn't get pics of that. Over all it was a fun trip.
