it has been a huge success! Almost boring in Avery's opinion. Way to go girl!<br />

Unfortunately, the lack of attention towards Sawyer has been a bit rough for him. <br />

But we might only have one kid in diapers after this! I don't even remember what that's like, but I think I'll get used to it mighty fast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191129329677742542.post-57024735238439704712014-03-05T12:31:00.004-05:002014-03-09T19:57:45.422-04:00Same room!I am happy to say that Avery and Sawyer have been sharing a room for two months now! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Sure their room is a bit sparse (as in only beds and kids are allowed in this room,) and their beds are at crazy angles (but very strategically so, this is optimal visual obstruction of one another) but it has been a good transition for them. We've learned to lay Sawyer down first, and then lay Avery down about 10 minutes later. Lots of bribes (and a fair share of threats) has resulted in a really good routine of sleep.<br />
<br />

Is there anything more romantic on Valentine's Day than a surprise homemade valentine in the car?</div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
But why stop the love there? The following weekend my niece Kimberly was getting baptized, so the kids and I packed up and drove to Michigan the day after Valentine's Day. Growing up, every member of my family would draw another family member's name to make a Valentine for. I haven't been able to participate in that tradition for 10 years. That is, until this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Avery drew Uncle Ben's name, and here is what she came up with. </div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530689793/player/1351fa3df5" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
On the back I had her fill in some blanks of the message to him. This is what it said: </div>
<br />
Ben is <u>a boy</u>.<br />
I love <u>you.</u><br />
Happy <u>Birthday.</u><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
And here is Avery's Valentine she got from cousin Kimberly (who just turned 8 years old!) These two girls are so sweet together.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I drew my sister Kelsey's name,</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530568605/player/e32d972ce2" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
and my Dad drew me. (Who doesn't love Dave Barry? And when calendars are 75% off at this time of year, you have a dynamite combination.)</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sawyer drew Grandpa's name,<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530546935/player/2955029d5d" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
and added his own artwork to the top and bottom of the ball.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530594283/player/ef45aa1b7b" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sawyer had a hard time giving up that ball, but fortunately Grandma drew his name and made him a knock knock joke valentine.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12823917314/player/8ec9f777b8" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which was complete with door flaps for him to open. It was a complete win!</div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
All in all, we made out like bandits this year for Valentine's Day! Plus, Kelsey scored all this free movie theater popcorn, so we were well fed too. :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
But to cap it all off was Kimberly's baptism! She asked Ben to baptize her.</div>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristin flew in from Texas for the event, so the 4 Pennock sisters united to sing at the baptism (I'm not sure where Jesica was for this picture, but there really was 4 of us...)</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Let me gush about my sweet little boy for a few minutes.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
He is the world's best toddler kisser ever. I'm not kidding, he is such a lover and is happy to share that love.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415199905/player/c310580c02" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sawyer is a wonderful eater. He doesn't fight me to get into his high chair (as in, he actually climbs into it unprompted all. the. time. That kids loves to eat!) </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415247065/player/e2116a0bf5" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As you can tell he is getting more independent and messy with his food daily.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415237795/player/0b74bf4ddf" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I thank the Lord daily that he is such a better sleeper now. I feel like I will never take sleeping through the night for granted again. Sleep has hands down been the hardest hurdle for this kid, but he conquered it!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415747554/player/85f80b6b19" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
I took Sawyer to see an allergist for his reaction to milk, so they did a skin test. #1 is cow's milk. #2 is water. #3 is histamine (which is used to gauge what a severe reaction would look like.)<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415369493/player/fff3249af4" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
As you can see, he welted right up. So for now, he still drinks Soy
milk (which sounds right. Soy-milk for Saw-yer...it has a nice ring to
it.) I really think he'll grow out of it in the next year though.<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415378873/player/3d6a3078aa" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This kid loves to be outside. Especially in wind; the gustier it is the better.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391470374/player/60919893fc" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
He loves to run up to a person, cuddle, look lovingly up into your
eyes, and then STAB you as hard as he can in your eyeball. It's kind of
tender and very painful.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415368923/player/789cf32624" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
His words include: Hello, please, thank you, again, a ball, mommy, dada,
monkey, amen, more, no, pretzel, granola bar, cracker, and milk. He also can tell you what sounds the dinosaur, snake, cow, horse,
pig, dog, cat, bird, bee, bear, tiger, frog, and car make too. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sawyer has some fancy feet! This boy can walk, walk fast, squat down to *almost* jump, and can climb on top of any couch or chair he meets. He is an unstoppable force!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391507503/player/094ddeac4d" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Sawyer is starting to show interest in books, which is awesome. I find few things cuter than my toddler sitting down by himself to read a book.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530536995/player/db58db948f" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
And this book lover has 16 teeth (at 16 months. It's pretty impressive) Check out that drool!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530658293/player/73c22837b3" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
He is also hitting the "two year old tantrums" several months early. It's a bit tough to weather through them (as in you can't bribe them quite as well as a two year old) but we're making it through. Lots of distractions and deep breaths help.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415676154/player/b5737450b8" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first thing he does when he goes into the play room is mount this rocking horse. Kyle's Grandpa made it and it is well loved!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
He still loves balls. He spends majority of his day looking for, chasing after, throwing and talking about balls.</div>
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530640773/player/5ef5529f3f" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
He has turned into quite the artist, although he is no longer allowed to draw with markers.</div>
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12530984034/player/337ff7b5d3" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The biggest comment I get from people when I take Sawyer out and about is, "He looks so serious."</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Apparently Kyle received the same comments when he was baby. Later he was nicknamed "Ky Smiley" so we'll see how long Sawyer can keep up this "serious" reputation.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Avery Dawn has gone through some kind of growth spurt lately and is looking way more like a kid and way less like a toddler.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415431033/player/30241165e8" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
What makes me say that?<br />
<br />
#1 She loves dirt. That's a kiddo thing, right? Digging in it, rolling in it, </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391165763/player/9426713e1b" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
wearing it as makeup... :) Dirt is all good.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391443554/player/15a2e8b342" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Sidenote: This is Avery's alphabet shirt...and it is missing the letter O. Weird, right?</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#2 She loves jumping. Her latest thing is to squat down on the floor and say, "I'm a frog! RIBBIT. RIBBIT." She gets some pretty good distance on each of those RIBBITS. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391003875/player/f05b73aa0f" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#3 She loves to be around pets. She giggled up a storm when Rufus would play fetch with her.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391106253/player/6bd78510c3" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The kitties don't appreciate Avery as much as she appreciates them. She has a tendency to squeeze the life out of them like Elmyra from Tiny Toons (does anyone remember that character?)</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="478" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415732844/player/98aac761fd" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#4 She loves scoping out new places. She is a fearless explorer.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391340535/player/7b8ddc36a5" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#5 She can be so helpful. I was pretty impressed she set the table (minus a plate for her...no surprise there, that girls survives off of air) and even more impressed that she made rice for dinner.</div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12390890075/player/9736c255ce" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#6 She wishes she had a baby brother (if only she did...Oh wait....)</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415390263/player/abc21ce80d" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#7 She is a pro napper. The battles have ceased and we have quiet time in our house again! :)<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415263465/player/7d46182aa1" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#8 She loves the snow.With all of her <3</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12391815304/player/54eba71de0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Especially eating it. She literally cannot get enough of it and frequently tries (and unfortunately succeeds) at eating it off of benches, sidewalks, cars, and roads...that girl loves herself some winter.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12524519645/player/0a141f8e7a" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
#9 Like most 2 year olds, she is extremely independent. She just can express it much better lately by saying, "Don't help me. I do it." It's better than her newer version that is simply, "Don't touch me."</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12415280034/player/5590a42685" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#10 She is still EXTREMELY SILLY!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
As shown here. Avery lives for these stickers she gets at Krogers. I would have never thought to put them over my mouth and eyes though...whatever gets you through the weekly grocery trip! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
#11 Avery has a fierce love for the health field. She can examine her own throat which is really quite remarkable!</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
And drawing up medication in a syringe? No problem! :) She does my nurse's heart proud!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
One perk of living in an apartment complex is the MOUNTAIN of snow the plows make in your parking lot.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Sure it keeps you from using some parking spaces but we are focusing on the positive right now.</div>

We had finished breakfast and I popped on a PBS Kids show
from the Roku (love that little gadget) and I was ready to enjoy some quality time with Daniel Tiger and my kids.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
That is, until I noticed Sawyer’s blonde hair spilling over
his ears and down his neck. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">How long has
his hair looked like</i>? I thought. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
That’s when I pulled out the spray bottle and scissors. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This can’t be too hard</i>. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’ve trimmed my bangs before </i>(unsuccessfully I
might add, but of course I didn’t remember that part of the story right then,) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and I’ve watched a youtube video before I
cut Avery’s. This should be no problem.</i><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Well, I was right. It wasn’t a problem. It was problemS. As
in plural. Let me lay it out for you.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> </i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
First problem, I have had absolutely 0 training in cutting
hair. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">But I’m a fairly intelligent
person. If I could really do damage with these scissors they would have asked
to see some kind of “hair cutting license” when I purchased them. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Second problem, the spray bottle wouldn’t work. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No worries!</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’ll just dump water into my hands and rub that on his hair. Close
enough, right?</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Third problem, our TV is on our counter to free up more room
in the family room. Meaning, our kids have to tilt their heads up to watch TV. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Easy Peasy! I’ll just cut most Sawyer's hair while he is looking up and holding still, and then I'll even it out when Sawyer looks
down to read his book.</i></div>

Austin, Kyle's mom, Rachel, and Tim kept a safe distance from that stuff (which was a good choice, Avery's diaper had a goodly portion of little walnut pieces in it.)</div>

Apparently Kyle and his older brother Sean used to wear them and have epic battles.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now my kids wear them and have epic battles. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And that is the definition of the "circle of life" folks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191129329677742542.post-63955877884785720282014-02-12T16:50:00.000-05:002014-02-12T16:50:26.903-05:00GiraffesWe went to the Zoo and that was great.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368384973/player/0db4188161" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
But the greatest part were these giraffes.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368314125/player/49c47a1047" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
Now many of you might not know much about giraffes. I was a part of this group until very recently.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368655844/player/96e8db7a6d" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
First thing I learned, giraffes make funny faces.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368459523/player/7f4bdbd236" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
Second thing, giraffes have fancy things they can do with their fancy tongues.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368464643/player/0fecc1ba54" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
Third thing, when you see these fancy tongues you think <i>Wow! Those tongues are pretty long.</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368283225/player/6ab29d77e6" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
But friend, that is just the tip of their tongue.<i> </i>Those tongues can be twisted into every direction, especially the "out of their mouth" direction.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368237415/player/8c1b5ccbbc" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
They are so long that Sawyer nearly lost his forearm to one of them.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368727354/player/39c57875ef" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<br />
And when you get two tongues going, that's where the magic really happens!
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="640" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368245395/player/037e68e8eb" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="427"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which is evident from the strings attached to both of Sawyer's hands. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368253535/player/51906fcf28" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But even with those crazy tongues, Kyle fed the giraffes from a safe distance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368757634/player/212de15344" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Avery fed them while exposing her own tongue.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368662694/player/fc946d69b1" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I fed them (even though they tried the "up the sleeve" trick.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368230985/player/7ba1a0a5f1" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And Sawyer fed them . The "twist and tug" of the tongue was surprising! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368674984/player/b34eb3ecc5" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which is probably why Sawyer had second thoughts about feeding the giraffes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368719984/player/eb3696d12f" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and decided to just feed himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" mozallowfullscreen="" msallowfullscreen="" oallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lindsaymbradley/12368260445/player/d09a919671" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So long, you long tongues!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Saw some kind of big pawed bobcat (seriously, those feet are HUGE compared to its body!)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

And made friends with a gorilla (who refused to flip us off.)<br />

And when the animals weren't being interesting, Avery made sure she was.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
She was especially entertaining when she came barreling around a corner trying to tackle this skunk. Unbeknownst to me, a zoo keeper let the skunk out and said it was fine for her to chase it. But you better believe my heart went berserk at the prospect of my daughter getting sprayed by that little critter.</div>

And we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary! We watched Hunger Games, (because I have a mild crush on Jennifer Lawrence....well more like mild-moderate...it's not weird...I just want to be her...so yeah...mild-moderate sounds about right) wore new socks, (you seriously can never have too many socks) and put together a new puzzle.</div>

And to cap off the month, Sawyer had FINALLY started sleeping routinely through the night. I can count on my two hands how many nights Sawyer had done this in his first 14 months of life. Words cannot express how grateful I am to not have to hear him cry from 2-4 AM every night. :)</div>

I like the idea of my family doing things together, and having really cute pictures of us doing it. You know, the ones that tug at your heartstrings and make you sigh, "Oh, we have got this family thing down."</div>

But we try. And even when they are epic fails of making cupcakes together and somehow it turns into a pantsless party (only for the kids...) and batter between the toes, it's still memories. And I'll cherish them in all their sticky glory.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Last year for Thanksgiving we held our first family football game. This year, since it was already a winter wonderland outside, we had a friendly game of dodgeball.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Or if you are Kyle. He got a heart on his cheek since he's a lover, not a fighter.</div>

And since Ben is the one that introduced us to this sport (and supplied the dodgeballs) he went with the slasher look. He was fast, he was furious, and I was glad he was on my team. It was a blood bath on the other side of the court.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Amazingly enough, my kids remained unscathed from the night. Sawyer is already training for next year's tournament.</div>

Which is a good thing too, because we take dodgeball seriously.</div>

To be honest, I didn't think Kyle would last. The longest hiatus I've seen Kyle take from the razor has been a week.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

But he persevered the itchiness and made it to November 31st! Even my comments likening kissing him to smooching a walrus didn't dissuade him.That takes dedication folks.</div>
<br /></div>

And like all good farewells, Kyle wanted documentation with his parting scruff. <br />
<br />
Stage one of shaving: the handlebar mustache.</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Yeah, not the best look, but it was far superior to Stage 2.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stage 2: the creepy car salesman look.</div>
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh gosh. Reminds you of John Watson in the Season 3 premiere of Sherlock, right? Everyone in the house was pushing Kyle into the bathroom to get rid of it!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
And our final stage: Teenage boy.</div>
<br /></div>

Sure Kyle has a baby face, but I like that baby face to be seen. :) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

So long whiskers, until next November!</div>
