Kate's Birthday Party

This year for Kate's birthday party, I decided to keep it small and girly. I made fairy wings for all the girls to wear and sent them home with pink crown cookies. Even though her party was small, she still seemed to get alot of presents.

Happy Birthday Kate

Kate turned 4 yesterday and I am still unsure how the last four years flew by so quickly. I can still remember the first time I held her, changed her and nursed her like it was yesterday. We are so lucky to have a sweet, kind little girl. It is so much fun to watch her use her imagination when playing with her dolls. Since watching Toy Story this past summer, all she has wanted is a Jessie doll for her birthday. The morning of her birthday, I woke her up early and gave her the Jessie doll. It was love at first sight. She hasn't put Jessie down since. She even pretends to be Jessie and will only answer to Jessie. She is too cute.
Happy Birthday Kate, you are our favorite baby girl and we love you so much!!!

New School

Kate started going to a new school this week and so far I really like it. This one is actually a school and not a day care. The teacher student ratio is 1:9, which I love. She has Spanish everyday for 45 minutes along with computer lab, music and art. The only thing I don't like is they have to wear a uniform which consists of a blue shirt with khaki bottoms. Kate loves picking out her clothes for school and usually wears dresses everyday. She wasn't too thrilled when I showed her her new clothes for school but seeing the other boys and girls wearing the same thing made it better.

11 months

Brody turned 11 months on the 7th. It's hard to believe that in a month he will be off formula and in a front facing car seat. He is completely on table foods now. For breakfast he usually gets toast, pancakes, or a muffin. For lunch and dinner I cut up small pieces of chicken nuggets, fish sticks, hot dogs or a grilled cheeses sandwich plus I will give him fruits and vegetables.
He took a step on Saturday by himself but hasn't done it again. He has added "ball" to his vocabulary but says it more like "baw". Brody loves to play with balls and can throw them pretty well. With a name like Brody Burnett, he is destined to be a pro-athlete.
I usually take Brody's monthly pictures on the couch but these days he wont sit still, so I had to put him in the high chair and even then he wouldn't stay still.

Recall?!?

So, I guess I have been living under a rock because I had no idea Similac recalled their formula. I honestly don't watch the news. It seems like everything on the news is sad and horrible and I just don't want to know about it. Ignorance is bliss in some cases. Not so much in this case. I went online to the Similac website and put in the numbers on the 3 containers that I had. All of them had been recalled. I did this last night at 6:20, both kids had had their bath and were in the night clothes. Since Justin is out of town, I had to make a mad dash to the store with both of them. I ended up buying Enfamil and thankfully Brody drank it with no problem.
