Andee Taylor May

Andee is such a special little girl. She puts up with a lot of teasing from her older brother and deals with it very maturely. She is starting to become very bossy, learning lots of songs and poems, she likes to color, and is very good at playing with toys and entertaining herself. Andee knows her alphabet and recongnizes all the letters! She is such a sweetheart, so fun to have around.

Something unique about Andee is her hair...it is so soft and fine and curly, it makes for some great hair days.




Andee loves her chocolate just like any other girl. She licked the brownie bowl clean and enjoyed every mintue of it.

Katelynn

The picture says it all. Such a cutie who loves to smile and laugh.

stats for the little tike

Katelynn is 15 lbs (27%) and 27 in (87%). She got her first two teeth and boy are they sharp. She can sit all by herself and loves to laugh and play with Damon and Andee.

Yummy

Yummy...the word I think of when I see Katelynn sleeping. Her rosie red cheeks, sweet little face, so peaceful and well...yummy.

Big girl bed

Katelynn has been sleeping in our pack and play crib, but during the middle of the night and early morning hours she liked to scrape the mesh sides and it drives me crazy and would totally wake her up. So I decided it was time to switch her to the big crib and put Andee in a bed. I took Andee shopping for a new comforter and such so she was super excited. After we got her bed set up, she laid there for about 30 minutes and we had to bribe her to get out. This morning I realized I hadn't seen Andee for quite a while, come to find out she's laying in her new bed. She loves it, I'm so glad. I was a little worried because she loved the crib so much! Easy transition, didn't fall out of bed last night and didn't even get out of bed until 8:30 this morning.

SPOILED!

Katelynn is officially 6 months old and spoiled by me! I just know that she is going to grow out of the baby stage too quickly and I'm hanging on. I love holding her, she loves to snuggle her cheek against mine. She is never going to learn to crawl because I love to hold her too much. Darn. Guess that's one way to keep them from growing up too fast, right? She is a sweet, happy, easy-going baby. She cooperates well when we go out and do things. She tolerates her older brother and sister smothering her. She sleeps through the night, and she loves to EAT! She snarfs down her solids so fast (must take after her mom). Her two bottom teeth are about to pop through, just waiting for the first day I get that bite, OUCH! I'm not sure about her measurements, but her 6 month check-up is Friday. Then I'll let you know how big the little stinker is. She is such a joy to our family. Don't grow up Katelynn, stay this young forever!

For the Record

CAUTION: THIS POST CONTAINS INFO ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY

Just for the record, I changed 8, that's right, EIGHT poopy diapers yesterday! 4 from Andee and 4 from Katelynn. Were they in for some kind of competition? What the heck are they eating to fill that many diapers? Everytime I turned around, someone had a poopy diaper...not to metion having to wipe Damon as well. I think I should be off duty for a week or so, what do you think?

Stir Crazy

This winter hasn't been too bad, but the kids do go a little crazy being inside all day. The other day was pretty warm (warm enough) so I dressed them up and sent them outside to see that they found the biggest puddle of water out there. They got soaked, but at least they were outside having fun.

5 months

Why do they grow so fast? :(, I ordered a bunch of flowers and headbands and was trying a few on...and there she is, 5 months old!

haha

The other night Tyler and I were playing around with Katelynn and she started rolling from her tummy to her back. For some reason, we thought it was pretty funny. Now that she's figured it out, she automatically rolls over as soon as we put her on her tummy. haha

A much needed hair makeover

My hair was so nasty...the roots were grown out pretty bad, the cut had grown out really bad, let me tell you, it was so ugly I had given up even trying to fix it each day. I feel so much better, I can actually look in the mirror without dry heaving. My brothers got me a gift certificate at a salon in Provo, (secretly I think they were sick of looking at me, too) so thanks to them I got a free haircut!!!

Cute Pics

Damon is becoming very independent these days. He now climbs up on the counter, opens the cupboard to get a cup and gets his own drinks.

Katelynn is just a QT!


The second Tyler got home, I put him to work.

Nothing exciting, just decided to post pics...

Christmas 2009

Santa Clause came to the May house this year. Damon,Andee and Katelynn were obviously good little boys and girls. Hmmmm...ya, i guess they were alright. Damon woke up nice and early, shall we say 6? I put him back to bed, 2 min later, out of bed again, back to bed, 1 min later out of bed this time, he said he had to go pee. The little sneak ran downstairs to use the bathroom when there was a perfectly good one upstairs. Tyler went down to find him jumping on the mini trampoline that Santa brought. We couldn't get his initial reaction on video because he tricked us! I had the flu that started Christmas Eve, Christmas and the day after. So glad Tyler was home to take care of the kids. Other than that it was a perfect day. So fun to see how excited the kids get about Christmas.









Damon's Presents...


Katelynn's things....


Andee's presents...


Santa made us a gingerbread house while he was here. That man is amazing, I don't know how he does it all!


Andee got these shoes from Santa, and didn't take them off all day! I caught her mid sneeze in this picture. She cracked me up all day long in those heels and that hat. What a hoot! The other day I had to run to Wal-mart and she insisted wearing her high heels there.

4 months

Little Katelynn is 4 months old. Wow, and I love her more than ever! Everytime we make eye contact, the biggest, cutest smile breaks across her face. Today was warm(40degrees as compared to the single digits) so we took full advantage and went on a nice long walk. The kids loved it! Here is a picture of Katelynn from her first winter walk. So cute, I can't get enough of her chubby little cheeks!




This girl loves to eat! She will use her hands until she gets every last drop cleaned off her plate. I have to scrub her spot every single time, she is always this messy!


This boy isn't so much into eating. It's amazing how little he lives on! And I never have to clean his spot, he is the cleanest eater, so careful.

Andee's 2nd birthday

Andee's 2nd birthday was so fun. She was so cute and had a blast. She got to celebrate it twice this year. First in Rexburg over Thanksgiving weekend with my side of the family, and second here in Sandy on her real birthday with Tyler's parents. She had so much fun and loved being center of attention. Damon wanted so bad to open her presents for her. He had such a hard time just watching. We had such a fun night. Thanks to all for the awesome gifts. She loves her new toys.




The girl of the night!

Worn out after so much fun, Andee and Grandpa May had to get in some cuddle time.
