Reflecting on 2012--- Happy New Year!

January- Adalyn was figuring out what it meant by being 2--- as in, we quickly learned what the term "terrible two's" meant. Landon turned 4 months old in January and by 4 1/2 months, was starting to eat cereal and bananas.
Look at Adalyn-- Her hair was SO short! It's been neat to watch her hair grow and to watch her gorgeous curls develop!
Here is our sweet and chunky little boy. At his 4 month check up he weighed 17 lbs 1 oz

February- We celebrated Valentine's Day!

(Adalyn was also doing some serious potty training this month.)
We also made a trip to Gatlinburg with my family. Landon's first "mini" vacation.

He also turned 5 months old and could sit up on his own and discovered a new means of transportation...rolling.


March- was abnormally WARM! It was great! Landon experienced his very first playdate
Adalyn walked around naked in a field of wheat at Jerry and Nancy's house
We played with the cows and she helped Adam mow the yard.

Landon turned 6 months old and weighed 19 lbs 7.5 oz at his check up.

April- We celebrated Easter! and the fact that Adalyn was potty trained!

One of Adalyn's favorite things to do is ride on the mower with Adam
Landon turned 7 months old and we dedicated him at Church


May- was HOT! We took walks everyday--- this is how things ended up at the end of our walk
Landon attended his very first Lady Raider softball game. My old stomping grounds!
He also had 3 teeth and would sway back and forth in the crawling position.
On this certain day in May, Adalyn wore panties to Church for the first time. Any outings we did, we slipped a diaper on her but we knew this day was it!
We also watched Autumn play in a tournament in Manchester
We also celebrated Mother's Day :)
We watched Casey graduate High School and spent a weekend on the lake for Memorial Day. Landon turned 8 months in May as well.

June- Adam and I celebrated 5 years of marriage!
Landon learned to clap
He also learned to pull up!
Kids played in the kiddie pool!
I helped with VBS and Adalyn had her very own class to attend
We also went to Helen, GA with Adam's family

We celebrated Father's Day as well :)
We had a busy June!

July- Happy Fourth!! We spent the weekend at the lake. We also changed Adalyn's crib into a Toddler Bed!
Our big boy turned 10 months old and he moved up to a "Big Boy Carseat!"
He also took had his first swim lessons. It was a "Mommy and Me" class.
Adalyn was a FISH in the pool!! That girls loves to swim. At 2 1/2, started swimming without her floaties on. I know, it sounds crazy when I type it but it was absolutely WILD to watch her. She asked my mom if she could swim to the bottom and pick up her goggles so my mom pushed her down, she grabbed them, then came right back up. She then started swimming to us from the stairs. I posted a video of her doing it on my facebook page and here's where I blogged about it!
We welcomes 6 new members to our family in July as well. Pigs that is! They were a great addition to Clark Farms. They are tasting pretty good right now, too. ;)

I also started back to work on July 9 and we also enjoyed watching the Olympics this month, too.

August- We kept busy cooking all of Landon's baby food. Notice the butternut squash in the background? Adalyn was getting ready to help us prepare it!
Adalyn and Landon both moved up to a bigger Sunday School class in August. So sad that they are growing up, but so neat at the same time!
Landon discovered he liked meatloaf
Adalyn ate lots of popcicles
and Landon became a pro with the walker!
Landon turned 11 months and I began the weaning process and we also started to add whole milk to his bottles. He also started walking!
Adalyn shared her big coloring pages with her class on Wednesday nights at church. She was so proud of herself for sharing with everyone!

September- Landon turned ONE!

Landon weighed 24 lbs 1.5 oz at his one year check up
Adalyn enjoyed popcorn at a Red Raider football game
Adalyn got Top 10 in the baby show!
We took our first ride in Landon's new wagon!

We celebrated Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for.



December- Landon turned 15 months old and took milk from his sippy cup! WAHOO!
We took Adalyn to the Christmas parade.
Both kids got the stomach bug and passed it on to myself and Adam. Then Nancy got it then my mom got it. Thanks kids. It was awful!
Adalyn and Landon loved finding our elf, "Wilson" each morning.
Christmas was so fun this year. Adalyn is at the PERFECT age and understood everything. Landon had a ball ripping paper open.
and last but not least, Adalyn had her first Dentist appointment and she did great!!
