Check in

So, I haven't updated in awhile. It seems like the days are just flying by. I'll start out with a quick update on the kiddos for our family :)


Taveon is doing awesome at school and has made some new friends. He even has a few friends on our street and they play together over here almost daily. It's great seeing him playing again. I had a conference with his teacher and she said he is the brightest student in her class and praised him for how well mannered he is. Those are things that us mommas love to hear. I can't take any of the credit for that. He is naturally such a smart and sweet kid. He amazes me everyday. 


We had Isla's 15 month check up and she is 25lbs, 31" tall and HEALTHY. The dr measured her head 3 times to be sure it was accurate... we can thank Shaun for her big head! What can I say? The girl has a lot of brains. She is growing up so fast and has become quite bossy towards her brothers. She is so girly and loves dolls and purses, also loves filling her purse full of hot wheels :) 


Damon had his 3 year check up. He is a big boy at 39lbs and 39.5" tall! He is healthy and full of energy and spunk. The pediatrician has referred Damon to have a speech evaluation and speech therapy. She has also referred us to  developmental pediatrician for an evaluation because she noticed some things with Damon that point to him possibly being in the autistic spectrum. I haven't shared this on facebook but if you read my blog you know, now. I haven't not shared it due to embarrassment or fear but more because I am not looking for sympathy or things of that sort. Just need good thoughts and that is all. No matter what the outcome of his testing he is still my sweet little boy that he is, now, prior to any testing. 


Other than that we are just getting used to life in the south. 60 degrees in December is so strange to me! I was pretty jealous that my AK friends and family got fresh snow on Christmas eve, I admit it. Lots of things are ...different here to me lol One of these days I will make a list for you all (see, look, I am not saying YALL yet). 


OH! I just have to share Taveon's letter to Santa here. I shared it on facebook but just in case anyone isn't on my facebook I will share it here as well.
Isn't he the sweetest kid ever?!


I can't forget this in case it changes after the holiday food I have been eating... I am 13lbs from my goal weight! This is the least I have weighed since 2004. I have a lot of toning to do but still this is a good thing! My weight has been such a struggle for me since I had Taveon. So, YAY!


I started up a little business making and selling headbands. I enjoy making them for Isla and have been asked quite often if I sell them so I finally decided to do it! I have had good feedback and it feels good to see other little ones wearing the headbands. You can check it out at www.facebook.com/InspiredbyIsla


I'm sorry this blog is a bit drab but I am pretty sleepy and just wanted to update our friends and family a bit with what we have been up to. I am going to try to start writing BEFORE I am tired from now on :) Wait, did I just come up with my new years resolution? Sounds good to me.


Love you all and thanks for taking the time to stop by and check in on my little family
