You still have just two bottom teeth, but your two front teeth are ready to push through. They haven't caused you much problem though. And your appetite isn't suffering either. Your daddy and I played in a benefit kickball tournament a few weekends ago and as I returned from kicking I realized you had gotten hold of a chicken strip and you were chowing down! You weren't too happy when I took it away. And just yesterday at WRC, Ms. Lisa watched you for a few minutes while I took care of Lynden and she unknowingly fed you "Goldfish" crackers for the very first time. She said you LOVED them! It was hilarious. So now I guess I can add that your list of foods you like. :)</div>

You are so very sweet and loving. It's so hard to believe you're already eleven months old. Your daddy and I are so thankful you're healthy and growing, but we would love for life to slow down just a bit. It's all going too fast. Raegen is out of school for the summer and we're making the most of our summer days...lots of pool time, zoo time, and library story time!</div>

He had been well for 36+ hours on Friday so we ventured to our local CFA. While there Lynden had some "issues"!! {and sadly his "issues" caused a really bad chain reaction of issues from the other children that were in the play area with him!!! Talk about the mommy walk of shame!} We promptly returned home and have stayed put the ENTIRE weekend...no activities, no church, no nothing!! {though none of the kids have ANY issues...just making doubly sure we don't share any germs! B went to church today, but the kids and I stayed home.}<br />That said, I decided to treat us to smachos tonight...s'more nachos. Simply s'more ingredients thrown together and baked in the oven. <br />Delicioso!<br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />The Stain Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03266548734981427519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1199256052914346969.post-44232029055270899882012-02-09T14:13:00.000-06:002012-02-10T14:13:45.807-06:00Where is Lynden?

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Well, SuperBowl XLVI marked my TENTH SuperBowl post-church party.</span> We usually arrive home just before half-time and the "par-taying" begins! There is no formal invitation, any and all are invited. So, if you missed us this year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
next year...same time, same place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were so many Pinterest recipes, we decided our party needed the following tagline:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It seems everyone I know is counting their calories {including moi}, so I PROMISED not to sabotage their diet!!! Instead, I included a list of all the calories for each dish I made.</div>

These were SUPER easy to make. I did adjust the recipe to yield 24 cupcakes instead of 18. There were 48+ wonton wrappers in the package, so it just made sense. I only added 1 extra can of black beans.</div>

Can you believe I've NEVER made this?! It was sooooo good. I used a baker's sheet to bake the cake instead of making it in a 9x13. So, one little sliver is 241kcals! Wow.</div>

I don't know how time has gone so quickly, but I am so thankful you are healthy and happy. We are constantly receiving comments on what a happy baby you are...always smiling!!!

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">You are certainly going to be a tough girl. Lynden tries to share everything with you and "gentle" is not in his vocabulary. He will try to put a toy in your hand, but if you don't take it, he'll just drop it on you! And, when you're napping he often grabs his blanket and pillow and crawls in the crib with you!!! You wake up crying and then you both end up giggling. It's the sweetest thing.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Most people think you and Lynden favor, but a few think you and Raegen. The majority also say you have my eyes and your daddy's smile...and dimples!!! I now know where people get nicknames...every time you smile I want to call you Dimple!!! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Our Christmas with B's family was planned for the 22nd</span> and I was beyond thrilled when he took the kids and I on an impromptu vacay just days before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We were already in NWA visiting a few days early, so it was a great opportunity to drive over to Tulsa and spend some time together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The last time we went on vacation it was to a landscaping conference and I was pregnant with Lynden. So,it's been a while!! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our first stop was the Oklahoma Aquarium. We took Raegen to the Georgia Aquarium when he was about eight months old, so I knew it would be perfect for every age.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">oh. SUITE. peace.After naps were finished we completed our day at Incredible Pizza. It's a ginormous indoor arcade, bowling alley, mini-golf, bumper car, and go-kart playground!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Amber was in charge of the festivities this year and decided to have an "ugly ornament" contest. It was so much fun!! Below is the ornament I unwrapped...I do believe it was later stolen by Michael. It was truly hideous. Why would anyone design a Christmas ornament to look like that?! :)</span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-size: x-large;"><strong>So much to be thankful for!</strong></span> Our Thanksgiving festivities started the Saturday before Thanksgiving. My family met at my parents to celebrate...eight adults...ten children. They have us outnumbered! Grandchild #11 is due the first of January and Grandchild #12 is expected in April. I just love seeing all the cousins play together. They get along so well. Here are a few of the boys checking out a parts catalog...haha... Don't let this one picture fool you though, they know how to have a good time...pictures to come! ;)</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">You certainly have your moments where you fuss, but generally you're just happy. So easy. We are slowly getting a routine around here. You now go to sleep {still in the bassinet beside our bed!} around 9PM and wake around 7:30AM. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">{and on that note, you have taken a nap or two in your crib!}</span> However, the past three nights have been brutal!! Your father asked me this morning if maybe you were teething. Well, why didn't I think of that?! I think he's right. Lynden always slept well, unless he was teething. I was hoping you would make it to 10months like Raegen, before you started teething, but at least you didn't have two at four months like Lynden!! I ended up putting you in bed with me last night and you zonked out. How is that possible? You're not happy in your bassinet, right next to my bed, but move you two feet and sleep beside me and you're out cold. At least it worked...I could be walking the house to keep you happy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I think you are just too cute and just want to eat you up!!! Oh, stop the cuteness. {but not really...I really do like it} You take several naps throughout the day. You stay awake for 1-1.5 hours then nap for about two hours, eat, and repeat. You are still exclusively nursing and probably will through nine months or so. Your Pawpaw Stain has been visiting often and the poor man gets used and abused while here. He barely makes it through the door and your daddy and I are putting three kiddos in his lap and we're out the door to a movie!! haha It's a good thing you're easy to please because he has his hands full with Lynden!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's hard to see how much you're growing until I see you in pictures. You're really growing into your outfit from Ms. Heather, above. You wear an array of sizes...a few 0-3mo, but mostly 3-6mo, 6mo, and some 6-9mo. I noticed the other day that you have a "double-cankle" on your left ankle. It's adorable. You just have so much cuteness to squeeze in your little body!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">B stayed busy working the different booths at the festival so it was a challenge to get around with three kiddos, but my trusty double-decker stroller was a big help! Of course Ellison was too young to enjoy the festivities so she was happy to hang out in the stroller. And I took plenty of snacks to bribe Lynden back into the stroller when needed!! haha</span></div>

We had just enough time for lunch and then it was time to shower Isaac. Kristen's friends always put together a great shower.

At your 18mo well child check-up you were 28lbs, 33" long, and had a head circumference of 19". At 18months you <em>were</em> still riding rear-facing in the car. It is now recommended to ride rear-facing until two years of age or until the child reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by the car seat’s manufacturer. I thought your car seat stated it was safe to ride rear-facing until 30lbs, but when I re-read it the other day I realized it says TWENTY pounds!! Oops. You were TWENTY pounds at SIX months old! I should have bought a different car seat for you at six months so you could continue facing backwards. That said, I have turned you around. I can't tell that you like it any better. You were very content when rear-facing.</div>

You have really started to slim up and don't have as many rolls as you once did. I placed your horse blanket in the picture as I did in the past, but didn't dare spell out "18 months" with your wooden blocks as I did every month through 12 months. That was just disaster waiting to happen.</div>

You have a few other faves as well...your "Florida Gator" your Aunt Euna gave you, Raegen's soft dog "Christy" that he sometimes calls "Pepsi", the Horton elephant, the hungry caterpillar, and any other random toy that you want at the moment. And of course your pacifier is still key in getting you to sleep. And oh how I despise that thing and love it at the same time. It brings you great comfort.</div>

You have so many words...SOOOOO many more than Raegen had at this age. And you mimic most sounds so you are jabbering ALL the time. Here are the words I can think of right now that you say often:</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

You can also hum your A-B-C's. That's one of the songs Raegen would always sing to you to help calm you down. You obviously like the tune.</div>

You also now have HAIR!!!! It's still an odd, orange-red-brown color. And it's also an odd, wiry, coarse type of hair.</div>

You adore your big brother Raegen and can out-eat him two plates to one at the dinner table. He should really start working out because you're going to be a lot to handle! You wear mostly size 18-24mo clothing and some 24mo/2T.</div>

You are a great big brother. If you see a burp cloth ANYWHERE, you bring it to Ellison. If you see her pacifier ANYWHERE, you also bring it to her and try your best to cram it in her mouth. haha</div>

You are currently cutting your second year molars so there's lots of drool, fever, and waking in the middle of the night to find you walking around crying and screaming. You're in a toddler bed full-time now, but it's a lot of work to keep you in there. I've learned that if I will lay down with you, you're usually asleep within ten or fifteen minutes. However, there are some days and nights where that doesn't work. I set up the pack-n-play in your room and that's where you end up if you simply will not stay in bed.</div>

You'll stay awake for about an hour and then doze off and sleep until you're hungry or Lynden finds you and wakes you up. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjngqWLluPN-0esyNaurOcyIWMb_ENPnvj1tIn5c4-99ofQfJCdDdny5nh9QfIqGxtgdY_kapCfY6cJxDfWVAg-jq81krq8o9RSGnjK_9jJVokqZaOp_2x17hapfqnZHPem_yr4uK2SgK7T/s1600/2011-09-30+Ellison+Lee+-+3mo+%252831%2529.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjngqWLluPN-0esyNaurOcyIWMb_ENPnvj1tIn5c4-99ofQfJCdDdny5nh9QfIqGxtgdY_kapCfY6cJxDfWVAg-jq81krq8o9RSGnjK_9jJVokqZaOp_2x17hapfqnZHPem_yr4uK2SgK7T/s400/2011-09-30+Ellison+Lee+-+3mo+%252831%2529.JPG" /></a><br />You are so easy and almost never fuss.
