What has been going on

It has been awhile since I have really updated on what has been going on with our family so this post is going to be that.
Jon
Jon has been a very busy man.  He started a new job with the DI and a program on line to get his teaching certificate all while still working at Applebee's.  He is only home for a few hours a day and during that time manages to fix anything that I need fixed, play with his girls, give me some much needed attention, work on the yard, and study.  He is always so positive about things even when he has no time for himself.  He has lost about 90lbs this year and is looking great!  I am so proud of him for sticking to it. 

Caylee
I have been very busy keeping up with my 2 girls.  They both keep me on my toes.  I spend most of my day cleaning up the mess that Abi strews around the house and trying to figure out where Baylee ran off to.  I have started selling Paparazzi jewelry and love it!  The stuff is so great because it sells itself.  I just have to get it in front of people and they fall in love with it and with the fact that it is only $5.  I also love that I can be as busy as I choose or as slow as I need.  I have not kept real busy because I feel that it is so important for me to be home with the girls since Jon is working so much. I love being able to stay home and be with my girls and am so thankful for Jon working so hard so that I can be. 

Baylee
Baylee has been so busy this year.  She played soccer and loved it! has had Ballet all year and loved being able to learn new dances.  We spent a lot of time at the library doing music and movement and mini monet(art class).  She has been my big helper with Abi as well.  On mother’s day she surprised us by losing her first tooth.  This came as a shock because we all thought she was too young but sure enough there was another tooth ready to grow in.  She went to her first dentist appointment and ended up having to see another dentist and an ENT.  The ENT said she needed to have a hearing test so we went to yet another doctor and had that checked.  Well her hearing was being affected by fluid behind her ear drums which meant that she needed tubes put in plus her adenoids and tonsils needed to come out so she had surgery at the end of last month and has spent the last 2 weeks trying to recover.  She is fully recovered and so excited that she can eat chips without it hurting her throat and she can also now ride her bike again.  Today she pulled her 2nd tooth out and is now laying in bed waiting and waiting for the tooth fairy.  Her imagination is so great and you will find her talking to her friends and dancing around being some princess.  She is wonderful with her little sister and a great big help when it comes to doing chores around the house. Some of her favorites are doing dishes, vacuuming, and scrubbing toilets. 

Abi
Abigail has grown so much!  She is changing so much that Jon and I will look at her baby baby pictures and say “that doesn’t even look like her”  She crawls all over the house trying to keep up with Baylee.  Pulls her self up to a standing position as much as possible, keeps mom buys so she can crawl up the stairs and throws her toys all over the house.  She is such a happy little girl and will play in the toy room by herself for along time.  She loves to be able to play with the big girl toys and hates when Baylee takes them from her.  She has her big sister wrapped tightly around her finger and only has to make a small noise to get Baylee to feed her whatever it is that Baylee is eating or to give her a toy.  She is a great sleeper and will take 2 naps a day and sleep all night!  She is trying to cut her naps down to 1 but gets super cranky without that 2nd nap.  She just got her 3rd tooth and thinks that she can eat all the big girl stuff since she got it.  She has a major sweet tooth and would only eat junk food if we let her.  She loves her bottle and blanket, you can find her most of the time cuddled on the floor with her blanket and drinking her bottle (usually it is empty but that doesn’t stop her)  She gets a huge grin on her face when her daddy gets home and usually wont go down for her second nap for mom because she wants daddy to put her down instead.  She babbles away in the car while we drive and loves to be tickled.  She will hold her foot out for you to tickle then pull it away when you do then when you stop she holds it out for you to tickle again.  She loves to take a bath but hates to go swimming.  She is such a joy to have around.
