Such a big boy now!

Three years ago today I was waking up to contractions of Dreyden making his appearance. At 10 am we were walking to get them closer together. By 11 they were 5 minutes apart. 12 we were at the hospital admitted :]. Then at 4:34 pm Dreyden Thomas Farquhar made his debut.

7lbs 15oz of beautiful baby boy. We were so excited to meet our little one finally!

 

Happy 3rd Birthday Dreyden! 

I still cant believe how much he has grown. He is one of the smartest three year olds I have ever met. Always open to meeting new friends. He is growing up to be such a handsome little man, and I cannot wait to continue to watch him grow by his sisters side.

 

 

I am BUZZ LIGHTYEAR!

So awhile back Uncle Erik made Dreyden some "Buzz Lightyear" wings. He LOVES these things. Runs around the house knocking things over with him while pretending he is flying. Its the most amazing thing to see his imagination working so hard.

 

Delaney has also became a pro at scooting to almost where she wants to be. She hasnt made it far yet, but she will soon! Usually I find her just off of her mat in the other direction :]

And this is Dreydens new face he makes! Ask him to show you what color his eyes are. He will open them as far as he can. It cracks me up every time!

And of course the booger told me to take a picture with him and this is the face he makes..

 

Silly head. I CANNOT believe he will be THREE.. yes THREE in about a week. We are having his little party this Friday. I hope to see everyone there!

Cuddles

Woke up this morning to an arm and leg thrown over me. Dreyden was in bed with me cuddling passed out. I love it when I wake up to him sleeping next to me. What I dont like is waking up to him poking me in the eye screaming "The sun is awake the sun is awake, wake up mommy!" Well.. maybe I enjoy it a little.

Last night was a rough one! My oh so wonderful baby girl who has slept through the night since 2 months has recently disappeared. I'm hoping she finds her way home soon ;]

And I know that I am WAY overdue for new pictures of the little ones. So look out for some :]

On the move

We had a wonderfully busy weekend! Friday was calm and we just hung out around the house :]

Saturday we woke up and went to visit daddy at work around 9 to eat breakfast. Dreyden loved going to see daddy. And Delaney loved showing off her smiles for all of his co-workers. We left there to go buy supplies for a tu-tu I was making for miss Lydias birthday. Made that thing in record time! And it was so pretty!

Went over to City Lake Park in HP to her party. Dreyden did okay. Was a bit fussy but he enjoyed it. When we all got home the whole family took a WONDERFUL 2 hour nap. Had no idea. We all woke up around 5 to that crazy storm.
We also found out Saturday that we were approved for our loan!! So they will start clearing our land soon to start building :] We are SOO excited! I will be posting photos of the progress as it goes along.

And today me and the kids went out to moms house to swim. We first drove out to the land and I actually walked the land to see how bade the grade was. And its not bad at all so hopefully we will have a good yard to play in.
Delaney LOVED swimming today. And of course Dreyden always does.

I love my babies so much! And Im so blessed to be able to stay home with them. Delaney started to babble 'da da da' today. She is getting so big. I cant believe she will be 6 months soon, and Dreyden will be 3!

Havent forgotten!

Dont worry. I havent already forgotten about this! We have just been busy this weekend. Between going to moms, running errands, sessions, and our loan. I swear we have barely been home.

Currently Dreyden is screaming about some ice cream while Delaney is giggling and yelling with excitement in her jump-a-roo. Oh dont you love nights like these?

Here are a few of the kiddos past few days :]




Drey playing with Iron man (gift from Gma for potty training so well) and his spider man!

 

 And Delaney just hanging out with her daddy.. She loves him so much :]

 

And Delaneys first adventure in Grandmas pool! She loved it!!

Hehehe

Delaney thinks her brother is absolutely hilarious! She has been playing in her Jump-a-roo and just giggling away at Dreyden.

I LOVE moments like this.

He did it!

FINALLY! Dreyden pooped in the potty. I thought it would never happen after his accident at grandmas house :/
He got up to use the potty. I didnt think anything of it until a few minutes passed and I started hearing "ew.. eewww... EWW" HAHA
I go check on him and sure enough. He had tried to put it in the big potty like he normally does.
I will save you the details. But I had a wonderful mess to clean up :] I was very happy to clean this mess up to tell you the truth. Its funny the things you get excited about when your kids start growing up.

OH YEAH!

I forgot that after starting this blog I can cross off  #79!

79- Start a journal about things the kids to daily for them to read when they grow up

Since I don't have extra money for a nice journal right now. Or I ALWAYS forget while I'm out, I decided starting it online would be easier! I can always transfer these to paper down the road if I feel the need to :]

Oh man! Now that is $3 each that I owe the kids piggy banks!

Another off the list ;]

So I can actually cross TWO things of my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days


#52- Donate all our disposable diapers to a baby in need
AND
#54- Donate the majority of my maternity clothes to mommies to be in need

I stopped by the Greensboro Pregnancy Care Center today. Its a place for young families with unplanned pregnancies can go for help. They have a great program of where you earn 'points' by coming to meetings and you can buy things you need with those points.

I took an overflowing diaper box full of maternity clothes. As well as a huge bag of disposable diapers. I wish I would have taken a photo of it all before I left the house!

It felt so good to donate those instead of trying to sell them. I am so glad I put that on my list or I would have never done it! I hope to have more together to bring to them in the future!

YAY!

Dreyden came into my room about 7 wanting to cuddle. I went and checked his bed and it was dry! Asked him if he used to potty today and he said yes. Im so proud! He is such a big boy now.

Princess

Sorry. Have to catch up a little so there might be multiple posts a day ;]

I absolutely can not believe how fast she is growing up. She will be five months, yes FIVE MONTHS on Saturday :[ She is turning into such a beautiful little girl. I am in love with how amazed she is with her big brother. I wouldnt trade the looks on her face when she is interacting with him for anything. I love being a mommy to two WONDERFUL children. I am so lucky to have them as my own.

Amazes me

Everyday that goes by Dreyden finds ways to amaze me. I am so proud of him for potty training so well the past week.

This morning around 7 he came into my room yelling he had to go potty. I sleep drunkenly undressed him and sent him on his way. His pull up was completely dry!

He has come so far in just a week!

He now will go to the potty by him self, empty his potty into the big toilet, flush, and re-assemble his potty. At first I thought he was pretending to do it all, then I watched him without him knowing and sure enough he was doing it all. The only thing left for him to work on is pulling the pants up and down.

This afternoon we went to meet with the builder and realtor. While walking land he said he needed to go potty. I tried to get him to go outside but he is so set on having the potty, it was a no go. He had a pull up on do I told him to just pee. We get home and its dry. The booger held it the whole time we were out.

Tonight he was sitting in the living room with me and Delaney watching TV, out of no where he said "I'm tired." and disappeared. I go to check on him 30 minutes later and he put himself to bed!

Hes not wearing his night time pull up so lets see if there are any accidents tonight.

Super proud Mommy! [Growing up so fast!]

I can officially cross off #12- Get Dreyden Potty Trained from my list of 101 things in 1001 days!
 Ive been a little MIA past few days. Because we have been diaper free for three days now. And we also had ZERO accidents today! I am so proud of my big boy. He will be three in June so this is just in time. We have been working with him for almost a year and he just now showed interest this week. We could not be happier about this.

Just randoms :]

A blog full of random thoughts and happenings of the day to day life of the Farquhar family :]
