Cheyenne













Okay, I know I make a lot of posts about Cheyenne and the other kids seem like they are being neglected. The truth is, Kiley is gone so much with friends, Creighton is outside all day, Cort won't hold still, and the only one that will cooperate and let me take pictures is Cheyenne.


Kiley is in her third week of dance and loving it. She takes ballet, hip hop, jazz, and tap. Her recital isn't until the spring, so they are just practicing technique for now, but will learn dances soon. She is doing great in school and loves her teacher. She is very popular and we have found that there is always an invite to a b-day or sleep over and we have to balance out her friend time with family time. So far, it's been working well.


Creighton is so funny. He is almost officially done with naps now, but takes a "rest" midday and goes to bed at 6:30pm. He still spends his day working outside. His newest thing is to make a hat out of anything. Today, I saw him wearing the dog's water bowl around as a hard hat. Silly kid.


Cort is entering the terrible two's and, oh my gosh, had he hit this stage a year ago, there would be no Cheyenne. :) It's funny how God makes them sweet until you decide to have one more and then they do a 180 on you. He is still the sweetest little boy, just soooo into everything!!


Speaking of sweet, Cheyenne! The sweetest baby on earth. Sometimes I feel like I just can't get enough of her. She is so great. Still consistently sleeping through the night, about 7:30pm-7am. Mommy and daddy get plenty of time to relax in the evenings, except that time is now spent with me at the gym and Chad working on the basement. Well, I finally found 5 min. to update this, but now it's time to get dinner served and head to Zumba!!!

The sweetest baby girl is 3 months old!

Our adorable Cheyenne is 3 months old! Well, tomorrow she will be. I simply cannot praise her enough for being such a great baby. She has been sleeping through the night since 2 months old. She rarely fusses. She coos, laughs, and smiles all the time. She is such a joy to have and certainly makes the idea of a 5th child sound not so bad. It's the pregnancy that is keeping me from having another one. I would take a million kids if I didn't have to be pregnant. We shall see. I am for sure done for at least a few years. At 3 months, Cheyenne is: rolling over (since 11 weeks), picking her head up to look around, smiling and clearly recognizing faces and voices. She loves to kick around on the floor, cuddle on the couch with me or Kiley, and be talked to. You can have quite the conversation with her. She looks almost identical to my baby pics, except that I had dark hair, dark eyes, and darker skin and she is fair skinned, blue eyed, and her hair is going blond. However, despite all of that, she still looks a lot like me. Yay!! Finally!
