Singing Sadie

play together, stay together

you're backyard friends, the Backyardigans!

It's the Backyardigans everyone... If you haven't heard of them, take a look at this video.

Word on the street was the Backyardigans were coming to Calgary. So we decided to buy tickets and make it a 'Sadie day'.

{ 'Sadie day' - Mike and I had a talk about having a 'Sadie day' and 'Mckenzie day' (obviously when kenzie is a little older). Where we dedicate that day just for which ever girl's day it was. This 'day' would at least be once a month either with the whole fam or just one on one. Eventually, when they get older, they would be able to decide what they want to do for their day.}

So we took Sadie out for lunch, went to ikea and let her play around there. It's one of her favorite places to run around and play. I love how Ikea is such a family friendly store! After eating and running around, off we went to see the Backyardigans. When we arrived, we noticed that just about every kid was holding a wand with 3 stars on it. Sadie took one look at all the lights blinking from the wand and made it clear to us that she wanted one as well. It was a fun show and honestly, I don't mind watching this show either. So I enjoyed it just as much as Sadie did. Actually, that's a lie. When the show was done and the backyardigans said they had to go home, Sadie was pretty upset and said she wanted them to stay. So I guess Sadie enjoyed it more than mommy did. 'Sadie day' was a success!

 Kenzie and daddy enjoyed the show too........ ha ha!

Miss ya girl!

So one of my fave girls of all time, Sherri Cardona, left me earlier today. I'm sad she's gone and hope that I see her again soon. She lived here in Calgary for a couple months and the time we spent together just wasn't long enough. Having her here made me miss all the good times we had way back in our younger, more simpler years - our many sleep overs, talks about boys, watching movies, staying up super late and eating. Always eating haha.

I miss you Sherbear and can't wait to see you again. I'm sure Kenzie will miss your 'forced' cuddles, Sadie will miss her Tita 'erri' and Mike will miss hearing about your dates to insitute hahaha.

Love you girl!

this was back when I had "Trixie" in my belly

it's that time of year again...

26 more days till Halloween is here. What are you being for halloween and if you have kiddies - what are you dressing them up as?? As for Sadie and Mckenzie, I still have no clue.

kenzie's first time with baby food

97%!

 

O.k, can you believe that Mckenzie is 4 months old already? Time flies and this baby is growing up way too fast. She had her vaccination/check-up appt. yesterday and she did so well. She definitely cried a little because of the shots but other than that she was a trooper.

Where she's at today:

Weight: 17.5 lbs (90th percentile)

Height: 27 inches (97th percentile)

Our nurse said that she is proportionate and is definitely thriving! This is great news and we love hearing it :)

I've also started feeding her baby cereal before her bottle. She wasn't a fan of it at first and didn't finish her bowl but after a couple more feeds of baby cereal, she has taken a liking to it.



Mckenzie's first take on baby cereal. Not the happiest.
