<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">No official stats this month... but you eat so much you must be gaining weight. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Size 2 or 3 diapers and 12 months clothes (& 9 months here and there).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Firsts: First library story time (at Nolensville library), first trip to the zoo (sweet friends, the Cochrans and Olivers gave you a year pass for your birthday) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Milestones: Crawling faster and faster. Can feed yourself with a fork or spoon when I hand it to you. Its hard to keep up but you now have 6 teeth. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Food: Nursing 4 times a day, 3 meals, and 2 snacks typically. You are such a hungry, hungry hippo. You will eat just about anything, except broccoli! Very rarely do you refuse food, because you are full, so when you do I know you are super full and happy! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
Sleep: Continuing with the good sleep and early mornings. Basically the same as last month, except sometimes now you want your naps even earlier like 8:30... just completely depends on the day. You are finally stretching your afternoon naps to 2-3 hours and mommy is so thankful. Usually you wake up just before Cameron in the afternoon. </div>

Our days: Same ole stuff. Lots of sleeping, nursing, eating, and playing. You love to crawl around upstairs and play with all the toys by yourself. You are such a big girl. </div>

Rylin, we absolutely cannot believe that we are already to month 11!! How can it be? Time has truly flown by, and I like to think its because we have been having so much fun! You are typically such a joy to have around (you kind of have this love/hate relationship with your carseat that we are ready for you to get over!). It's so awesome to see you and Cameron playing together and enjoying each other.. its such a treat! We love you so so much and can't wait to see you blossom into a little toddler! </div>

Goodness, goodness... I can't believe my baby boy is TWO.<br />
<br />
He has changed so so much in the past year. So many new words, new friends, new abilities, and even new personalities.<br />
<br />
Cameron, this year you got to grow into a toddler. Not only that, but you also became a big brother. What a big year. We are so proud of the sweet, funny, loud BOY you have become. You are all boy. You play hard and you love hard. We are pretty sure you are partial to your sister over mommy and daddy but we don't mind. Rylin adores you and loves watching you play. So keep it up.<br />
I absolutely cannot get over the change you have been through this year physically. You were such a little baby a year ago and you are so not anymore. Just a sweet big kid. You can catch, kick, jump, run, and climb! You are a master climber.<br />
Mentally you have changed so much as well. You are saying just about anything you want and putting together plenty of phrases too. Sometimes I listen to you talk and am just in awe of how we can now communicate, and how we will be communicating soon. I love hearing what's on your mind. So keep that coming.<br />
<br />
Your two year old stats are 28 pounds 3 ounces (50-75%) and 33 inches (25%). Growing like a weed.<br />
You are a good eater and sleeper typically. We are so thankful for that. You still take one nap around 1-4 everyday. <br />
<br />
Basically if I didn't say it clear enough.. you are a great kid that we love with all that is in us. We can't wait to see what fun this year brings!<br />
LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU.Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357801721582441705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112470855503267267.post-40164253553635106402015-03-12T13:50:00.000-07:002015-04-27T14:05:00.863-07:00Rylin: Ten months.<div style="margin: 0px;">

Sleep: About the same as last month. Sleeping through the night from about 7 to 6-6:30. Mommy wishes you would sleep a little longer. You nap once in the morning around 9, for maybe an hour and a half. Then you nap again around 1:30. Pretty happy with how all this sleeping is going. </div>

Food: Nursing 4-5 times a day and eating 3 solid meals. By the end of the month you started LOVING finger foods rather than baby foods. So I've been trying to get a good mix of both right now. Keep on not being picky little missy!</div>

Sleep: You are finally starting to (what I call) sleep through the night! You are usually going to sleep at 7 and I don't feed you again till around 6:45 or 7... now that doesn't mean you don't cry out or cry... but you are pretty good at handling all that business on your own. :) So thankful for that! You are taking a nap around 10 and then another one around 2. You typically take two hours each time... but when you have a cold or anything you can't sleep well. It's rough! </div>

You are discontent you just really really like to be in the action. We are excited for your next milestones and seeing you get mobile and get in the action! We love you sweets! </div>

Food: Nursing about every 4 hours and eating 3 "meals" consistently. I tried so hard to not do all three until you were 9 months but you are just such a hungry monster I just had to give in! Started giving you some puffs and some soft veggies cut real small! You love it! </div>

Sleep: Sleeping pretty well, can't really complain. You typically sleep from 7-5 at night and I feed you and lay you back down and you sleep till around 7 or 7:30. You nap again around 9:30 for about two hours and then I typically try to keep you up till 2 for your afternoon nap. That nap is very random on length... so ready for you to consistently take a longer afternoon nap! :) Very thankful for most of your sleeping habits though! </div>

Our days: We typically just spend time playing or run errands in the morning, eat lunch around noon and start winding down for naptime after that. By the time you and Cameron are up we are getting ready for daddy to get home for work! We play some more before and after dinner. Lots of chill fun happening around here! </div>

Food: Right now we are doing baby food once in the morning and once in the evening. Besides that you are continuing to nurse every 3-4 hours. Usually eating for about 10 minutes! </div>

Sleep: You've had a pretty good stretch of sleep here lately. We continue to put you down around 7 and you will sleep til about 6am and I will feed you and lay you back down. Naps are still a struggle and I imagine that is just because you are baby #2! We can't seem to keep things consistent enough to figure it all out. But when I do put you down you typically will sleep at least an hour and a half! </div>

Our days: Here lately we have been keeping it pretty easy going... You get out of bed around 7:30 and I nurse you and then we play till about 9 and you eat some breakfast. After a bit you usually go down for a nap and then we pretty much repeat the cycle again when you wake up. :) After your next nap is usually when you are up the longest... watching me cook dinner, playing with toys, and of course watching your big bro! </div>

Oh pretty girl, how can these days be going by so quickly. Can't believe you are 7 months and getting ready to celebrate your first Christmas. You are so adorable and so fun. You are getting more and more opinionated, so this momma has to stay on her toes between that and big brother who is almost 2! We are so so thankful for your sweet self and can't wait to see all that you become! We love you pretty girl :)</div>

I know I say this every year I post a favorite 10... but really, what a blessed, blessed year it has been. The Lord has been good and is so faithful in all that we do and accomplish! Thankful for that!!</div>

<b>#10. Gatlinburg mini vacation.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We had such a blast taking our little family to Gatlinburg just for a night. We've never done anything vacation like with just our little family (and definitely not as a family of 4). So we really enjoyed this special time together even if it just involved Redneck downtown Gatlinburg, shopping, eating, and a little time by the pool! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>#9. </b><b>Auburn football</b><b>.</b></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2400627848317755634" itemprop="description articleBody" style="color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 660px;">
This is just always on my list. Our family loves loves all things Auburn, not just the football... so that makes it extra special when we get to head to our favorite city, with two cute babies in tow, for the weekend. There's not much better than a Saturday filled with tailgating and then a warm evening in Jordan Hare watching our Tigers!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>#8</b><b style="line-height: 1.4;">. Thanksgiving on the farm.</b><br />
We had the extra treat of celebrating Thanksgiving with our Watford family on the (Scott) Palmer farm. The kids loved the open spaces and animals. The hay ride was a personal fave. If it would have been a tiny bit warmer it would have been perfect.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>#7. Mammaw's wedding.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our dearest 78 year old Mammaw got married to her love, Bob Smith, mid July. We were so happy to celebrate our Mammaw being so happy! They are one of the most active 75+ couples I know. Lots of nights out for shows and dinners. We so enjoyed having all of the Thaxton fam together!</div>
<br />
<b>#6. New family.</b></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2400627848317755634" itemprop="description articleBody" style="color: #5c5c5c; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 660px;">
This year we got to add more family! Every year it just keeps getting better and better. Sweet Sullivan James<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"> joined Blake, Katherine, & Caroline in Florida in early September! He is just the perfect addition and we loved meeting him this fall and getting to know him at Christmas. Another sweet baby, Ellie Palmer, joined Brandon, Meaghan, & Tucker in Ohio in late September. She is just the cutest and a really perfect little cousin for Cameron and Rylin. </span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>#5. Family moves to Nashville.</b><br />
One big highlight this year, obvious since its #4 huh?!, is having family in Nashville with us! We love love having both Curtis families in town. Kendrick, Kathy, Margaret, and Madeline literally live a couple miles down the road. And Dustin, April, and Emmaline came in May (even stayed at our house for a week or two) and live fairly close in Smyrna!<br />
<br />
<b>#4. Cameron turned 2.</b><br />
I don't know how it is possible that our first child is two. He is a joy to have around, although I see those terrible two's come out to play every once and awhile. He loves all things transportation: trains, planes, cars, and trucks! He's so silly and is typically very sweet to his little sister. We skipped out on a party this year but enjoyed spending time with family around the holidays to celebrate.<br />
<br />
<b>#3. Homeowners. </b><br />
We became <i>real grown ups</i> in February and bought our first home. To say we have enjoyed it would be an understatement. It truly has made Nashville home for us.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>#2. Third anniversary</b>.<br />
We made it to number 3. I can't even begin to describe what this marriage and this man means to me. He holds it all together for me. He handles my craziness like a pro! The first three years is just a teeny tiny glimpse of what is to come for us. We look forward in anticipation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<b>#1. Rylin Elaine Watford.</b><br />
On May 12th our life changed for the better. Our sweet little first girl, Rylin Elaine, joined our family... making us a happy little family of four. She's just the sweetest. </div>

Firsts: First trip to a pumpkin farm, first time to the train depot in Huntsville, first Thaxton tailgate in Auburn, first Halloween- you dressed up as a mouse and Cameron was your cheese, dedicated at Brentwood Baptist Church, first time to Cincinnati- and Tucker's birthday party, first time eating solids (hardly any) and using a sippy cup!</div>

Milestones: Gaining trunk control getting close to sitting up. Grasping at everything and putting it all straight into your mouth. Trying food for the first time!</div>

Food: You are still nursing about the same. I try to stretch you to around 3 1/2 or 4 hours but you mostly prefer 3 hours so I go with that! You are quick and efficient so that is great! We just started solids and you couldn't care less. I'm sure you will get better as we keep trying!</div>

Sleep: You still love your sleep. On good days you wake up around 8, nap around 9:30-11:00, wake, nap around 1-2:30, wake, nap around 4-5, wake, and bedtime at 7. (I think you are moving your wake up time to earlier though... 7:30ish). You still wake up sometime between 4-6am to nurse. I'm so ready to drop that feeding!</div>

Our days: Same for our days as last month. We still are not on a constant schedule since we don't have planned activities. We typically meet up with friends once or twice a week! But besides that we are just playing at home!</div>

Milestones: There really aren't too many new things going on. You continue to roll all the time and lift that head super high. Your hand coordination is getting better and better. Sometimes you can find your paci and put it in. You love to grab at anything and put it in your mouth! You are also so much more interactive these days... you interact with Cameron by smiling, laughing, and grabbing. Cameron LOVES it, we are enjoying it too :)</div>

Food: You are just the best nurser. This nursing experience has been so much more pleasant then what went down with the CamMan- thanks for that :) You nurse around 10 minutes every 3 to 3.5 hours (every once in a while 4!). You still have great stretches at night about 7-5!</div>

Sleep: You LOVE and need your sleep. You have a morning and afternoon nap but really don't care for an evening nap even though you are a little fussy and tired. We usually just have some fun holding you time from about 6 till 7 when you get in bed! We've decided its time to stop swaddling you. We tried earlier in the month and it didn't go so well so we started swaddling you again... but then you started rolling over some in bed so no more swaddle. You have done awesome the past few nights! </div>

Our days: Same, same for your days right now. We've had to stop working out (because they changed locations) so now you get more consistent morning naps! But basically we are just chugging through and trying to have lots of fun along the way! </div>

Our crazy ball of energy is 21 months... somehow. I'm kinda in disbelief that my sweet boy is only 3 short months away from being 2. It's a crazy thought. </div>

Cameron is just the happiest, most energetic, outside loving boy. He keeps our little family entertained to say the least. He is a chatter box. As the months go by he continues to add words to his vocabulary and does such a good job of copying words we say. He's also added jibberjabbing a whole lot. He will just start talking and we have no idea what he says. It sounds like it might be annoying but it really is pretty cute. Cameron is doing a great job working on his motor skills. He will follow commands like jump, touch your toes, stomp, touch your head, run around! It's really fun and great exercise! He also has been getting some great exercise by getting out of the stroller after our run and running (with little walking) back to our house. Some nights he goes almost a whole mile. All of that reminds me that this child LOVES to be outside. He's always looking out the window, getting everyone's shoes, or trying to open the door and just get outside. (Which he sometimes just opens... we have to make sure we lock it now so he doesn't escape!) Besides being outside Cameron recently has a passion for all things transportation. He just loves cars, trucks, trains, and airplanes! He loves playing with his hot wheels (and tractors, trucks and other cars), looking and listening for airplanes and helicopters, seeing the trains at Cheekwood, and alerting us of all the trucks on the road! It's so fun and I love him having "a thing!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cameron currently is wearing 18-24 month clothes and is in size 4 diapers! We just moved him in size 5 shoe (5.5W keds)! He usually wakes by 7 and naps at 1. From nap he will sleep till 3 atleast and then go down for bed around 7:30! Of course Cameron is great to go with the flow if needed too! He sometimes eat so great and is hardly picky at all. And then some other times he won't eat anything we offer. Cam loves to snack and just loves eating in general. He still drinks a cup of milk with each meal and typically has a morning and afternoon snack. Of course he still love fruit the most! </div>

Besides being a fun, sweet boy... Cameron is a great big brother. He loves little Rylin more than I ever imagined he would. He loves to give her kisses, hold her, give her paci's, and share his toys! I love it when he lays down on her playmat with her! (Until he tries to roll on top of her! Eck!!)</div>

Milestones: You found your toesies this month. You love to grab them, look at them, and play with them! You also starting rolling over... you started rolling from your back to your stomach first (strong girl!). When we lay you down you almost immediately roll over! </div>

Food: You are still eating great! You nurse for about 10-15 minutes every 3-4 hours and stretch like 10 hours at night (7pm-5am)</div>

Sleep: We continue to know if you are getting crazy and fussy it's usually because you are tired. We still swaddle you and it helps you sleep so great (getting anxiety about stopping this!). You nap pretty well usually and do okay at night. We typically have to come put a paci in once or twice. You still enjoy snoozing in your swing quite a bit!</div>

Our days: These days you are waking up pretty early... around 7. Depending on when I fed you that night you will eat or wait a bit before eating. Days we stay home you go down for a nap around 9 and may nap for about 2 hours. Will eat again after napping before playing and hanging out before an afternoon nap (when I put you and Cameron down and get a break!) at 1. This nap has varied sometimes lasting 1 1/2 hours and other times like 3 hours. So that effects the rest of the evening. Typically you will eat and play and then take like a 30 minute nap at about 5:30 before eating again and bedtime at 7. </div>

Firsts: First round of shots at your 2 month appointment :( first time sleeping in your crib for night time sleep, first time going to watch daddy play basketball in the men's league, first time to visit a fire station with workout friends, first time to Firebirds for mom & dad's date night, first time to KY for the PGA Championship & in a tow truck on the way home because we had some car troubles about an hour and a half from home- you were amazing and did so great the whole day and drive home!! </div>

Milestones: Your neck is getting so strong. One night I laid you on your belly and that head just popped right up! You also have a little "giggle" you do when we tickle you... you are so ticklish! I think you could roll over if you wanted to, but you don't have a desire yet! You can also now sit in your bumbo! (I look at pictures of Cam and he didn't have quite as much head control as you do!) Sitting up position is your favorite! You have found your hands and love to eat them!!</div>

Food: You are continuing to eat like a champ. Here recently you are only eating approximately 10 min total for a feeding. I love it, so if you are gaining weight and are happy I'm all for it! We rarely hear your "hungry roar" because you are so easy going. Every once and awhile you have to remind me it's time to eat! </div>

Sleep: You are a pro. You love your sleep. If you are the least bit fussy I usually figure out you are really just sleepy. I swaddle you up, give you your paci and you are out in a matter of minutes! It's been getting slightly harder to get you asleep in your carseat (in the car or stroller). If we are moving it's usually quicker for sure. Although we support the crying it out method... that doesn't exist for you. If you are crying you just want a paci because it fell out. You are wonderful at falling asleep and also at sleeping!!</div>

Our days: This momma's working hard to get you "scheduled" and predictable. We've worded at it hard this month and you are doing wonderful. You usually wake up around 7:30 and eat/play, back asleep around 9, up eating again around 10:30 (sometimes shorter than that!), napping again around 1 for a bit of a longer nap. Wake up again around 3 or 3:30 and eat. We usually head outside to play after that and you will snooze again, usually downstairs in the swing, around 5:30 or 6. Eat and play before bed by 8. I don't stress about this flexible schedule a bit. You are so go with the flow we can keep up with our normal routine (working out, church, lunch with daddy... and stuff like that).</div>

Favorites: Mommy loves getting your loud squeals and giggles out of you from tickles. Daddy is loving that you are getting strong and being able to sit up (supported!) and in the bumbo!</div>

Rylin, we continue to love and enjoy you more and more everyday... even though we didn't think that was possible. You are an amazing baby and we are so thankful for that! Praying that you won't have the 4 month reversion for sleep like your older brother! :) Keep growing strong and getting more fun! We love you sweet girl!</div>

Food: As your stats stated, you are doing a wonderful job in the eating department. You now eat pretty regularly every 3 hours and at night you stretch almost 8 hours sometimes!</div>

Sleep: Definitely no schedule quite yet. You are a wonderful go with the flow little girl though. You sleep quite often. Trying to have you swaddled once for a daytime nap and then around 8-8:30 for bedtime! </div>

Our days: I haven't been very good at putting you on a schedule. (That's a goal for the upcoming month!) I think I'm really struggling with it because you wake up at different times every morning. We will get better, no worries. Anyways... it goes something like this: you wake up somewhere between 6:30-8 and I feed you. We all get ready and head to workout (MWF) or just leisurely get ready and play and such. You like to snooze in the morning sometimes 9-10:30, then later 1:30-3:30, and then another snooze sometime around 5:30 or so. And then bedtime is between 8 and 8:30. You really are such a great sleeper just like your brother was (fingers crossed that you won't revert at 4 months!)</div>

Rylin, you continue to amaze us with your easy going, happy self. Me, daddy, and Cameron literally can't get enough of you. We can't believe you are growing so super fast... it's fun to enjoy the newness that comes with growing up, but we already miss some of the little tiny baby fun. We absolutely love that you basically smile on demand. You are one of the most smiley baby's I've ever met! Keep loving, growing, and being amazing! We love you!!</div>

I know I'm always saying this... but lets be real... I can't believe this little boy is 1 1/2 years old!!! In the past few months he has completely changed from my little baby to a big boy! Not only that but he also has become a big brother!</div>

Cameron really is such a sweet big brother. He loves to constantly give sweet kisses to Rylin. Although, just recently, we have been dealing with him trying to take her paci... not because he wants it but for the pure humor of it. He will learn, hopefully soon, that is NOT funny :) He's been a lot better recently with slowing down, sitting still, and saying cheese for my picture addiction! That has been oh so helpful, especially adding another little one to the pics. Cameron is talking more and more. It cracks me and Matthew up so much when he just spits out a mumbled sentence of made up words. It will be such a shock when that turns into sentences we understand! His words lately and often are mama (referring to EVERYTHING), dada, baby, bubbles, yeah, please, ball. There are several more for sure that I'm missing. We absolutely love when he says "amen" after the blessing and "all done" after eating. He stretches out the word "all" and we pretty much think its adorable! He's also become quite the little climber. He wants to climb everything! {While nursing Rylin on the couch I look over and he climbed all the way on the dining table and was just crawling in circles around the centerpiece!} He's mastered climbing up on his highchair, the layzboy & couch, the dining chairs and in and out of the car! Cameron has slowly become a pretty good eater! My recent goal for him is for him to eat the same thing as we are eating for dinners. So far he has done fantastic and for that I'm so thankful! We think its so funny because we have learned to offer the food first whole (like a half grilled cheese sandwich), then if he won't eat that... tear it into pieces, and if he still won't eat it give him a fork and he will basically eat everything! On sleeping news... Cameron moved to a BIG BOY BED! I couldn't believe that we have already done it. He has done AMAZING! And we are so thankful for that. For the first while he didn't know he could get down, then he learned (after falling out of the foot of the bed one night)... so now he sometimes will get down and play some or sit by the door when he wakes up. It's pretty amazing that he is doing so great! Cameron still would live outside if possible. He absolutely loves being outside!! His new skill outside is that he can now ride on his toys rather than just push them around! It's been so fun!</div>

Cameron you have been such a joy to have around as our little boy! You are sweet and wonderful! We are so thankful for your silliness! Keep growing into a crazy little boy! Can't believe it's already your half birthday! It's been amazing watching you grow and learn... keep it up :)Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357801721582441705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112470855503267267.post-35214133168841629192014-06-25T19:00:00.001-07:002014-06-25T19:00:35.003-07:00Gatlinburg, TN.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Saturday morning we woke up super early and loaded up the car and the kids to head to Gatlinburg for a super short vacation.</div>

Seems kinda silly to drive 4 hours with two kids under two for just a one night vacay. Yeah, it kinda is... but we really wanted to do it. We had a free place to stay, SO we had to take advantage of the chance to have our own family of four vacation. Ya know, since we have never done it before :) It was a whirlwind, but it was totally worth it!</div>

Our little troopers did a pretty amazing job in the car. Cameron was such a big boy and ate Chickfila for breakfast in his carseat all by himself and watched two movies (on and off). Rylin slept hard and was her normal chill self! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we finally got there, after only one pit/feeding stop, there was some traffic going through Pigeon Forge and through Gatlinburg. We weren't sure what we were going to do so we decided to head to Pancake Pantry and enjoy some yummy breakfast for lunch! Cameron thoroughly enjoyed his chocolate chip pancakes! Daddy didn't feel well so we ate quick and decided to head to our condo. (We decided it wasn't really our scene. Seemed way too crowded with rednecks and hillbillies!) </div>

We made it to our condo (thanks Grandaddy and Grandmother!!) and settled in. Of course with two little kiddos you get lots of down time... nap time! Me and Matthew are very low key people so we don't mind just vacationing by relaxing on a couch! </div>

The kiddos slept through a little thurderstorm and we enjoyed watching some of the World Cup (Matthew is obsessed!). When the kiddos woke up we got ready to head to the pool. It was great because it wasn't crazy crowded due to the storm! They had a baby pool, which was awesome! Cameron got used to it and enjoyed it. We are still working on getting this boy water happy!<br />

Sunday morning we got up and headed to the outlets. I'm pretty sure the Under Armour outlet is the only thing to get Matthew excited about shopping! But it all worked out, each of us got something! After shopping we headed to Joe's Crab Shack. It was delish, as always!</div>

{Somehow I find myself writing this blog, ALREADY! How has time passed so quickly??}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our pretty little thing is ONE MONTH. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stats: No official stats, we will go back to the doctor for your two months. I feel like you are pretty long though. At two weeks you were 7lb. 6oz. and 20 1/2 inches. Excited to get exact numbers and percentages next month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Firsts: Everything!! First sponge and regular bath at home. First trip to Huntsville and Birmingham. First time meeting all sorts of family. First bottle. First time away from mom for a long-ish (like over 6 hours!) time. First smiles- nothing on demand though. First tummy time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Milestones: Umbilical cord stump fell off, sleeping in the pack-n-play for one nap and night time daily, outgrowing some outfits {So sad :( !}, eye and head control improving!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Food: Breastfeeding round 2 for this momma... and boy does that make a difference! We had our fair share of struggle moments in the hospital and at home too, but you are pretty much doing terrific. You are now eating around every 2 hour 20 min during the day and then usually around 1 and 5 am. Of course I'm ready for you to start stretching them out a little more but in reality I know you are doing great :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sleep: Definitely no schedule quite yet. You are a wonderful go with the flow little girl though. You sleep quite often. Trying to have you swaddled once for a daytime nap and then around 8-8:30 for bedtime! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our days: Hard to say at the moment. But typically you sleep while me and Cameron eat breakfast and then I get you up and feed you around 8. We lounge around or all get ready for the day and you watch and take everything in. I feed you again and we usually go play outside with Cameron before lunch. I put Cam down for nap and then feed you. I'm trying to get this time to be a hardcore nap for you and then I feed you again right after Cam wakes up. Dad comes home and we usually play outside some more before I feed you again sometime around dinner. Then we usually all play upstairs and we put Cam to bed then I feed you and lay you down. You do cry, off and on... really barely any, before settling down and going to sleep! Of course you are sleeping on and off all through the day too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Favorites: Mommy loves rocking you and snuggling with you to make you happy. Daddy loves that you have started sleeping better at night!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I have so much joy from being yours and Cameron's mommy. Cameron adores you and loves to give you kisses. He is usually pretty gentle but sometimes gives you a little head-but :) I'm so excited to see your little personality come out! You are a very sweet, wonderful baby. Everyone asks how it's going with a new baby and I tell them you are such a great, easy baby! Thanks for that sweet thing! Keep growing strong and big sweet little girl. </span></span></span></span></div>

May 12, 2014... the day we went from a family of three to a family of four. </div>

After going through finding out Rylin was breech at 37 weeks and then having her flip by 38 weeks, we were all for being induced in hopes of getting her out before she decided to move again! So once again, we were up early after a sleepless night getting ready to make the drive to Centennial Women's and Children's hospital- where we would welcome our first baby girl into our family.</div>

We loaded up the car and left Cameron in his bed with Pops, Cece, Aunt Mere & MayMay to take care of him! Our adventure started with some really bad traffic and our gps advising us to take a different route than expected to the hospital. We thought we knew better than that so we headed in our regular path... only to turn around and basically arrive at the hospital 10 minutes late- I hate being late. {haha} So we went in and were admitted and sent to our room around 7am.</div>

I eventually got all hooked up to the IV and saw my doctor. Surprisingly she didn't even check me and just said she would be back later to break my water etc. etc. At some point the anesthesiologist came in and went through the rundown about my past and the epidural. She asked about my last one and I told her it was amazing and I hoped she could do the same. She asked how long my labor was and we told her and she said, "Oh, 1:47 am..." and we said, "No, pm!" She was very impressed and mentioned she thought this one would be fairly quick as well. At 8:40 am they <i>finally</i> started the pitocin and we got the ball rolling. Here's my "Ahhh, I'm having a contraction face!"</div>

Sometime around 12 I asked for my epidural and started feeling much better. I think the contractions got to be pretty similar to what I got to last go 'round with Cameron. We found out sometime around then that I was only at 4 cm. I was pretty bummed and figured I was in for a long day of laboring! One plus of this hospital compared to last time was that I was allowed to have water, sprite and popsicles during labor! Last time they only gave me ice chips! It was so great!! </div>

Sometime within the next hour, so I would think just before 1 pm, Dr. Samples came and broke my water. By that point I was at 5 cm and both she and my nurse were very impressed/shocked that it happened so quickly! I was happy for some positive news. My family came to say hey for a bit around this time. By this point, I felt awesome- could hardly feel any contractions and no pressure yet either. Basically just hanging out with numb legs. </div>

While everyone was in the room visiting the nurse hurriedly came in and said she need to check me. I didn't really think anything of it, but now looking back she was kind of frantic acting. Everyone left the room and she checked me. I asked how far we were now and she said, "Oh, we're at 10cm!" I was shocked, in just about an hour since breaking my water I went from 5cm to 10! I was super pumped. But then I figured out that she was frantic because she was struggling with finding/keeping the heartbeat because Rylin had dropped so quickly. (I also had to use the oxygen mask again for babies sake!) The nurse called for Dr. Samples to come and also for another nurse to come help. We were getting ready to have this baby! Shortly after Dr. Samples made it and it was time to push. Pushing through two contractions and sweet baby Rylin arrived at 2:31 pm! We are so thankful for our quick, "easy" deliveries... it is a big dramatic though when with both deliveries my doctors seem to be barely making it in the room to catch these babies! </div>

After staying in the delivery room for a while to recover we were moved downstairs to the postpartum floor! After the nurses took Rylin to the nursery for a bath and took some measurements and etc. they <i>finally</i> brought her to our room so we could continue to get to know our girl!<br />

The rest of our hospital stay was pretty uneventful. It was very different than last time with Cameron. He was a crying machine and we had no idea of what we were doing. We also felt like we needed to keep him in our room rather than sending him to the nursery... This time Rylin was an angel. She slept and ate great! We sent her to the nursery during some parts of the nights since we knew it was most important to get our rest! The difference to me for first and second child has been incredible. There is just something to say about having expectations in your head and knowing what to expect!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's truly been such a joy to be Rylin's mommy! I feel like she is just my little doll to play with and dress up! Matthew is adjusting to having another girl in the house and Cameron loves to give his new baby sister sweet kisses! </div>

I'm so thankful for the past three years and all the fun, crazy times we've had together. I literally would not be the lady I am today without my Matthew. This past year has been full of change and new and I wouldn't want to experience it with anyone else! Looking forward to adding another kiddo and so much more in the next year! Love you Matthew Ryan!!</div>

Well we've reached another milestone... Rylin is now term. I can't believe that we are a short 3 weeks, give or take a little, from meeting our first baby girl. Big news is that I had an appointment last Thursday and found out stubborn little girl is breech and is not cooperating for mommy. So this week I am doing some exercises in an attempt to flip her accompanied by lots of prayers. Doctor Samples will check me again on this coming Thursday and if she is still breech we will schedule a c-section for week 39 {TWO WEEKS AWAY /:}. I suppose there is little chance for her to flip but really you just never know. I'm taking comfort in knowing that whatever is meant to happen will... thankful for a God who is completely in control. So, how I feel about it... positives: scheduled delivery without any laboring, can plan for Cameron easier since it's planned, quicker than labor (no long waits at the hospital for family)... negatives: surgery rather than "delivery," something new and different and not what I know, more difficult recovery, and would have to look at attempting a VBAC with my next delivery. I'm sure there's much more that I'm missing and I know people that have been through it would have a lot to say that I didn't cover. So I will go back on Thursday and we will go from there!</div>

Pregnancy wise, things are going well... just getting big and feeling worn out. I'd say things are about the same as the past few weeks. My dresses are getting shorter, pants a little tighter, and shirts a little snugger. Really doing alright besides the uncomfortableness of being huge. My rings are STILL ON and I'm still pretty pumped about that! </div>

So it's been quite some time since I last updated on the blog. Things are moving fast and time is flying even faster. If you can't tell I've grown quite a bit in the last few weeks. Here's two more belly pics... one with my SIL Meaghan and the other with my SIL in Katherine who are both due with another addition to the fam in Septemeber!!</div>

So pregnancy update. I feel huge and want to have this baby ASAP. Okay, but not really. Maybe 3 more weeks would be good! {haha} Things are continuing pretty smoothly. On the eating front, I've got the munchies basically all the time. Chicken coming from my kitchen is still pretty much a no go... which Matthew is about to kill me over. Not really, but it does make dinner time difficult! Sleeping is rough. Sleeping on my left side is my least favorite so every time I wake up I've moved and I have to roll my big belly back to my left. Just in this last week I've had to make around 3 trips to the bathroom every night. Little miss Rylin must be sitting on my bladder! Thankful for no insomnia once again so far though! I've had what seems like WAY more braxton hicks thus far compared to last pregnancy. They are very uncomfortable but nothing painful of course! Oh, and something I'm pretty pumped about... STILL wearing my wedding rings! I looked back and last pregnancy I took it off around 33 weeks I believe! {Woohoo!} I went on a little shopping spree this past week and bought some pink for my little girl's room. It's odd to not be setting up her room since we won't move her into the nursery until I'm ready to move her out of our room and to upstairs/move Cameron to a big boy bed! But I do want to be prepared and have stuff ready for an easy transition! I still continue to be super sore after working out and exercising. I'm hoping it will pay off after she's born since it's made this pregnancy significantly more difficult than the last. I will go to the doctor next week {at 36 weeks} and Dr. Samples will check me and see if any signs of labor have started! <i>Fingers crossed!!</i></div>

Until next time, maybe I'll be more frequently since I'm only a short 5 weeks away from our due date :)</div>

Somehow we are already to Cameron's 15 month date. Time is literally flying by as we are preparing for baby Rylin to arrive but also enjoying these sweet, fun moments with our sweet boy.<br />
<br />
Stats: 24 lbs (45%) 30.5 in (25%)<br />
<br />
I think Cameron has changed significantly since his first birthday. He seems SO old to me now. He has such a big personality- usually used for good... flirting, loving, being sweet; but also sometimes for throwing a good fit for not getting what he wants. He has started saying some words. I would say he consistently says dada, mama, ball, bye bye, no, yeah. With some convincing he will sometimes say baby, please (which comes out more like cheese), something similar to "thank you," sometimes Gigi/Cece, and I'm sure there's a few more. He loves to give sweet kisses by smacking his lips together when asked for a kiss (most likely my favorite thing he is doing now!). Cameron LOVES to be outside. He will let you know he is not a happy camper if you try to bring him in before he is ready. He still loves to eat but is a bit on the picky side still- who's surprised there?! His favorites are bananas, chicken nuggets, most fruits, spaghetti, oatmeal mixed with applesauce, and yogurt. Most everything else is hit or miss... we have got to work on him eating more veggies! We have been in a transition for naps lately. I think we have settled on one nap a day. He typically wakes up between 6:30-7 and we try to get him to nap around 12:30 to (in my ideal world) 3:30. Then he's in bed for the night between 7-8. I love my awesome night sleeper though!! We enjoy having some social time at Stroller Strides 3 times a week. All of the older kids love "baby Cameron" and want him to play with them! Sometimes Cam isn't so sure about these big kids. He's doing well at church, still cries when we initially drop him off but quits and has fun after that!<br />
<br />
In the past few months we enjoyed celebrating Cameron's second Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day. I had a blast dressing Cam in his cute, festive shirts! (He is in the hard to capture a clear picture stage!!) Looking forward to Easter next month!<br />

We also FINALLY got to get Cameron's 12 month pictures made! Now, we still haven't gotten them in hand yet just seen these peeks but progress none the less.<br />

We really have just so enjoyed seeing Cameron become a little boy. Sometimes he does something and I just think, goodness he's not my little baby anymore! I know more and different challenges come with every age but I am definitely enjoying this stage! Looking forward to see him transition to a big brother. I'm hoping he will be young enough that we won't have to worry about an jealousy issues.<br />

Did I mention time was flying by with this pregnancy on my last post?! Because it certainly is!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This past Sunday I made it to 25 weeks. Goodness that seems super close to 30, which is practically 40. Here comes baby Rylin ready or not! Things seem to be going smoothly and we are just chugging along. My next doctor's appointment is tomorrow, so we are looking to getting a good report and hearing that heartbeat of our sweet girl. Just this week I've been hit with a yukky cold so currently trying to recover from that! With being pregnant typically I'm very congested most of the time but this is a whole new thing. I absolutely despise when I'm unable to sleep... thankfully I seem to be on the mend! I'm continuing to exercise three (trying!) times a week. I think it's helping with this pregnancy but it also brings along its own struggles. I'm very uncomfortable right under my belly, specifically while running. We will see how that continues... I'm hoping to keep exercising up till delivery! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since finding out sweet baby is a girl I, along with some aunties and grandparents, have been having fun spending some time in the GIRL department! Matthew is subtly reminding me not to go too crazy! But I tell you what, January is the month of sales! It's so fun! Loving all the pink and dresses and bows! Excited to start looking for some fun stuff for her nursery! Still debating on Gray with pink OR coral. Hmmm... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Energy wise I'd say is about the same. Only nap every now and then. The days I work out in the morning are the most difficult! And just standing up to cook dinner takes a lot out of me too. Happy that I've still been able to keep up with my Cameron so far! We've also been staying up a little later than usual too to work on packing up our apartment. The long awaited house closing is supposed to be Monday the 10th. I'm still not able to trust them and their dates but we will hope they get it right this time! This has been so drawn out and I'm just ready to get out of this crazy crowded apartment!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking forward to all that is to come and meeting our sweet baby girl in a few short months! :)</div>

I do feel very overwhelmed at the thought of having a little girl! It's a whole new world with the pink, bows, and dresses! Matthew is a little frightened that I'm going to start shopping like crazy! So far so good, just looking for super good deals and passing on the rest! It's definitely true that the cute, boutique girl clothes are much easier to find at great prices than the boy's stuff! Excited for A LOT of smocked outfits with matching bows! :)<br />
<br />
We went ahead and texted family and a few close friends that day with the pictures of Cam but waited to post on social media till the next day because a sweet friend that works out with me offered to make gender reveal cupcakes for our Stroller Strides group! It was fun to get to reveal that with some sweet ladies and not to mention quite tasty for this pregnant lady too!<br />

Back in April we headed to Auburn to see our new coach and tigers play in the annual A-day game! We just thought this year might be something special ;) Well of course we attended the Last Roll at Toomer's Corner after the game! It was the last time the Auburn family gathered to roll the actual Toomer's trees before they removed them. {They now have AU's and wires hanging from the light poles at Toomer's that they roll now.}<br />

<b>#5. Move to Nashville/Matthew's new job.</b><br />
Late July Matthew interviewed in Nashville, TN with Parallon and was offered the job a few days later. They needed him quick so within the next two weeks we had packed up in Birmingham and landed in Nashville for a new life. Matthew loves his new job and is thriving there and we are still continuing to adjust to this Tennessee life. In all things we are thankful for the Lord's hand being in each and every detail!<br />

<b>#4. Auburn football.</b><br />
We continue to love our Auburn Tigers! It's been a different fall this year since we were closer to 6 hours from the Loveliest Village rather than the quick 2 hour drive we enjoyed last fall. Even so we managed to make it two several games and enjoy the season! We were thrilled to share this with our CamMan. We were absolutely thrilled with our awesome turn-around season we had! Going from 3-9 one year to 12-1 and playing in the National Championship game was pretty amazing! War Eagle!<br />

<b>#3. Second Anniversary.</b><br />
Can you believe it has already been two years (now 2 1/2) that me and my man have been married. It seems like so long but also like no time at all. I absolutely love doing life with Matthew. He makes me laugh, keeps me grounded, and supports me in all I do. He has been an awesome dad too! Can't believe we will hit three years in 2014. Can't wait!!<br />

The day after Christmas, December 26th, on Cameron's first birthday we woke up ready to celebrate at the Watford's house!! Unfortunately our little Cam woke up quite a bit under the weather! We could just tell he wasn't his usual self :( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we woke up we played for a bit till everyone woke up and we gave Cameron a donut for breakfast. He wasn't sure about the candle but was definitely loving the donut! After breakfast we opened a card from Uncle Michael and Aunt Stacy and then the CamMan was ready for a nap!</div>

After a yummy lunch we loaded up and headed towards Huntsville for more celebration and also our late Christmas with the Thaxton's. We ate at our regular favorite of Rosie's and Cam thought it was as delicious as a sick boy could! He did enjoy his cinnamon dessert though... and we enjoyed helping him eat it! After dinner we went back to Pappy and Gigi's and took some pictures!</div>

Thankfully his birthday party was not until Sunday the 29th, so by then our little man was feeling a little better but still not quite himself! Before he was even born I was sure we would have a Robot themed first birthday since I sometimes call him Cam-Tron! I had a blast thinking/searching for all the details I wanted to incorporate into the decor and food! I made most of the decor and amazingly it turned out just as I imagined it in my head!<br />

And for the moment you have all been waiting for... THE SMASH CAKE! Cam definitely took his time and slowly but surely dug in to the icing and goodness! After a few tastes he was all about it though! It was so cute to have a few of the cousins sneak a taste of icing while he was digging in!<br />

I thought it all went smooth and was a lot of fun! We really appreciate all of you that came- it made it that much more special! Cam may not remember, but me and Matthew sure will!!<br />
Can't believe our baby boy is ONE... So thankful for such a wonderful first year!Summerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12357801721582441705noreply@blogger.com0
