Carsyn Turns 2!

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: 2nd birthday, birthday, carsyn, milestone

Dear Carsyn,

I just want to let you know that I love you so much and I can not imagine my life without you. You are such a blessing to me! I can not believe it has been two years since you entered into my life. You are a true joy to me and make me laugh every day.

 

You have really started showing your personality and what you want. You really love to play in the sand and cry any time we take you out. You really love your iPad, swimming and swinging and you do the same crying if we take you away from those things too. Pretty normal behavior for a two year old, which I love!! Riding elevators is so hilarious to you for some reason. You laugh at your big brother ALL the time and he loves to make you laugh.

You also really love to eat. You will eat anything that gets in your mouth that you can chew up. Your favorites right now is applesauce, green beans, mashed potatoes, baked beans, etc. I love that you will eat most anything and that you are not picky. One thing that you do not like is really cold stuff.

You weigh about 22 1/2 pounds now, starting to chunk up finally! I have been trying to get as much calories in you as possible to get you to gain some weight. You have been on baclofen for about a month. I have seen some good changes in how tight your muscles were. It has made your core muscles a little weaker, but we have been working on getting those stronger. I really enjoy seeing your hands open more and your muscles moving a little more freely.

We are still working on getting you a gait trainer so maybe you can start being a little more independent. You have no interest in crawling but you like being in the standing position and if I hold you under your arms you will take steps. I am hoping that when we get you the gait trainer it will help you start to walk.

I love you so much Carsyn! Happy Birthday!!

Mommy

{Thank you Ashley Sisk for taking these photos for me!!}

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

She recommended this wooden trellis from Lowe’s that cost less than $15. I tied up the droopy leaves with twine. There is lots of room left for growth.
I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.

Annelyn is loving her new hair cut and loving her hair straightened. Swipe for some adorable photos, she came up with all her own poses. Also the very last photo is her hair before, it was a hot mess. Mollie cut off 3-4 inches and it looks much healthier now.

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? If so, did you do anything fun?
