8 Months

Wow! I can't believe how much Chloe has changed in just ONE month!

• She now has 3 teeth!1st the bottom right, 2nd bottom left, 3rd top right! Aaaah! I miss that toothless grin! She has handled it like a champ! A slight runny nose as they were cutting through and no ornery attitude... Well, until the top one starting coming down.. All in all she's a happy baby!
• She walks very well while holding on to things. She uses a home depot bucket as a walker. We should probably get her an actual one for herself. While assisting her, she will grunt grumpily as she tries to let go so she can do it herself!
• She can stand for a second or two on her own before falling! (She gets so proud of herself being so big!)
• She had her first piggy tails!
• She loves to eat cottage cheese!
• Spitting is her new thing. It usually sets the boys off into hooligan mouth spitting and farting energy outburst!
• Her first word is Da-da. It's not just baby talk, she really knows who Da-da is and calls him that! When she is happy and wants his attention she says: Da-da, (clicks tongue), Da-da, (clicks tongue). She repeats til he acknowledges her :)
• She has learned to bite her brothers when they are bugging her and they are in the proximity... They think it's cute and funny... Boy, are they in for a treat!
• She likes applesauce now, as long as its the real stuff. She really doesn't like that pureed food.
• Loves to gnaw on celery, peppers, carrots, hummus. If it's a vegetable, she likes it.
• Bath time is great! She feels so grown up sitting in that tub all by her lonesome. 
• She enjoys her very own cup. It even has handles for her to grasp!
•  She is just so happy and full of light (even with her nasty cold she has at the moment)
• Daddy is still her favorite. (Will I ever win? Just kidding)
• Still not sleeping through the night, but at least she is slowly napping longer.

We love you, Coconut!!!

Warning: Lots and Lots of Pictures!

See the food on her 'boobs' and down her cleavage?
She's started to take after her Gma Autrey ;)

1st piggy tails!

1st elevator selfie :)

She SO wants to stand on her own.

So happy for food!!!

Hilarious face after downing cottage cheese at the Bailey family dinner!

Kelson update!

Kelson is 5 years and 5 months old. This month his 8 year old molar's have come in!
WHAAAAT? At first I wasn't sure if his gums were just inflamed from food being stuck back there, but it really is two new teeth! His top ones are trying to cut through now as well. What a big boy!

Other updates of him:

He has read 33 books since the beginning of the year!
He gets super star in class on a regular basis!
All of his best friends in school have moved away...
He rushes through lunch to make sure he has lots of time to play on the playground. As a result he comes home starving.
He loves playing with the parachute during P.E. They play this shark game with it and he loves being the shark.
Him and Jay are back to sharing a room and they both are enjoying it and doing great!
Kelson eats just as much food as I do. Sometimes he even out eats me... This is not a good sign for the Autrey wallet. I don't even want to think about the bottomless pit that will be here when he's a teen. Two bottomless pits for that matter.
His thumb sucking has gotten worse. That's not the only thing though... His picking has gotten worse as well. Right now he has a huge purple infected toe... He either bit or clipped the nail too low. Similar situation the last time we had this issue. We keep the clippers up for this very reason... He is constantly just picking at things, biting his nails and sucking his thumb. We have tried everything... We are out of options and answers...
On the other hand, he is a great help with Chloe. He loves to wait on her hand and foot! Just on Sunday I was busy talking to a sister in the ward. Wrapping up the conversation I noticed Chloe was missing... Kelson had taken her to primary with him!
He also is great at cleaning and doing laundry around the house! He is a great, amazing kid!
He has grown out of saying: bacuters (computers) :(
He uses big words now, he surprises me quite often.
We are signing him up for t-ball this year! How exciting is that!?
Below are pictures from last fall until now!

I LOVE when this boy gets a hold of my phone!!!
