Happy Birthday/Updates

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl who is five years old today!!  Tripp's 2nd birthday was about two weeks ago, so belated happy birthday to him too.   For the memories, here is what they have been up to. 


Catelyn is growing up so much and has such a sweet personality.  She is so sweet and protective of her little brother, whom she adores.  They get along for the most part, but they can drive each other nuts too. :)  She knows her ABC and numbers, loves to play rhyming games and is SO excited about starting Kindergarten in the fall.  She is very creative, and enjoys arts and crafts of any kind and loves to sing to pass the time. She dresses herself from head to toe and does a fantastic job.  She can have a feisty side of her that can get her trouble, but only if you don't crack a smile while she's doing it.  The little girl is hilarious at times with her attitude. She is a relatively picky eater, but will try new things with a good bit of prompting. She loves to sit on my lap and cuddle up.  She is very in to Barbies, and anything princess.  She's my little "Cute's" and I love her so very much!

Tripp is getting so big.  He is talking up a storm and is saying new words every day.  He absolutely loves his big sister and will do anything and everything she does.  If she is not in the room, his very first question is "where's sissy?"  He loves cars- particularly lining them up side by side or in long rows.  He is a fantastic sleeper and takes a two hour nap each afternoon.  He is a cuddle bug and gives the sweetest hugs and kisses.  He is a great eater and seems to prefer things like casseroles and meat/ potato type meals rather than traditional kid food.  I hope this continues.  He loves to play outside, although he is definitely our more cautious child.  He thinks about things a long time before actually trying them out.  I'm ok with that though. :) He minds well and has a soft heart.  If he gets in trouble, his little face will break your heart it looks so sad. He has started showing interest in the potty, but we haven't started potty training just yet.  He's still in the crib, but we will most likely move him to a big boy bed in the next couple of months.   He is my sweet "Biggie" and I (also) love him so very much!

Happy Birthday Kiddos!!
