Alexa Got A New Do!

So I finally conviced Brandon to let me cut Alexa's hair! The next person to convince was Alexa. She really wanted to grow her hair out like Rapunzel, like every other girl since "Tangled" came out. I was just tired of her tangled and oily hair every day after spending the whole day outside and repeated coats of sunscreen. Not to mention that it was a fight every single time she got out of the shower, to comb out her tangles!

I reminded Alexa that at the end of "Tangled", Flynn Rider cuts off Rapunzel's hair! So I guess that convinced her enough to let my friend Ashley cut her hair. Alexa sure was a wiggly little bug, but it turned out cute and we both love it!

Sometimes I do miss her long hair, but this is definitely so much easier for the summer!

Check out my new blog...

So I decided to start a blog to document my weight loss journey! Should be lots of fun! Check it out!

Zayde - 2 months

Zayde had his 2 month check up on Friday. He had to get a few shots and those are never fun. I hate hearing my little babies cry so hard. He did get a fever and was fussy, but I think he is doing much better now!

When he was at his 2 week appt I talked to the doctor about how I was worried that he always had his head cocked to the right. He also said that the front right part of his forehead was coming forward more, and showed me a few things to help correct that so we didnt have to deal with him having a helment later on. Luckily his head shape looks totally fine now and the doctor is really happy with it!

So on to his stats. The doc said he didn't gain as much as he would have liked, and said to try for a 3 lb weight gain for his 4 month! It's weird to hear that. My babies have always been on the chubbier side..and Alexa weighed 1 oz less than him at her 2 month check up..but I guess boys are a little different and held to a different chard when it comes to the percentiles. We are just going to up his food a little and see how he handles it! He has bad acid reflux off and on..and so we are working on getting that under control!

Zayde's Stats:

Height: 22 1/4 inches (25th percentile)

Weight: 10 lbs 8 oz (25th percentile)

Head: 15 1/4 inches (25th percentile)

Even though he was the biggest at birth..he is the smallest right now! I am sure he will catch up and get the same chubbers his big bro and sis had!

Here are some pics from the last few days!

Need to Be a Better Blogger!

I was looking back at how much I used to blog, and I really really need to start blogging more! I have been so bad lately! Yes I realize I have 3 kids and yes I realize life gets busy..but I don't scrapbook..so I really need to keep up on this! Here is to a new goal!!

Alexa's Dance Recital

Alexa started taking dance with in January with the Serendipity Dance Company. She had a pretty good time doing it! We usually had a fight getting ready in the morning, and when I would take her in. Once she got going though she loved it. She is a people watcher like her mom though..and even though she knew the dance..would get caught up in watching all the other girls.

She loved her dance recital outfit and of course getting all dolled up for everyone to see! She loved the mascara, blush and lipstick she got to wear. Brandon, on the otherhand, hated it! He didn't like seeing his little girl looking so grown up!

She had her first dance recital on May 19th. On the dress rehearsal night, she just stood there and glared at everyone..so I was hoping and praying she would perform on the actual night! She didn't disappoint! She didn't follow the dance to a "T" but she did a great job. (Even though her finger was stuck in her nose half the time lol)

Here are some pictures from that night!
