Update on the Pendleton kids!


Gavin Turned 14 months yesterday. Hard to believe. He's not a "baby" anymore. He is definitely a big time "momma's boy" he has to know where I am at all times and if he's not in a familiar setting, he wants his momma. (frustrating at times) He's very demanding. He has more of a "bully" personality. He loves to pull hair, pinch, bite, etc. He does listen when you tell him no. He can blow his nose, he can throw garbage away when you ask him. He'll bring you a diaper when he needs a change, he answers when we ask him something. He's very smart. He loves attention and when the attention is not on him, the bully comes out. We are trying very hard to wean him off this behavior. Not giving into him. I have talked to the Dr about it and was told that all babies are different and this behavior is completely normal especially in a household with one or more children already a part of it. (relief)

Gavin LOVES to sing, he loves anything that makes music. He babbles his own little conversations. SO funny! He is starting to run. He is in a size 6 shoe now. He wears 18-2T in shirts and 24 months in pants. He is still with only 4 teeth and is working on the others. He takes 2 hr naps and still wakes up at least once during the night.


Channing is 3 years old now. I was just looking at pictures from his 2 yr party and it didn't seem like that was too long ago. Now he's 3. He's got the tantrums of a 3 yr old but not as bad as they used to be. He still gets that high pitched scream going but when he does that he knows he will be sitting in his room until he can calm down. He's more active in social groups then he ever was before. He used to take time to observe what was going on around him and now he just goes for it! He loves the new friends he has made in his playgroup and of course, Austen is his partner in crime! They have a song that they sing whenever they get together "la la poopy" I'm so glad that I'm not the only parent going through this and that Ashlee is going through the same thing! I'm just glad she and I have been like sisters most of our lives! We were in church one day when a nice old lady asked the boys a question and they looked at each other and belted out that song.... :::shakinghead:::

Channing is learning letters, numbers and sounds. He also loves to sing and dance and put on quite the show. He LOVES ice cream. He wears size 3T and 4T in shirts and 3T in shorts. He is in a size 7/8 shoe size. I think Gavin is going to pass him up.


Olivia- She is so smart. She is very aware of her surroundings. She is our little eavesdropper. She remembers conversations and moments from years ago and will bring them up when she thinks of them or something reminds her of it. She has to be constantly entertained or she gets bored. She loves surprising us! whether it be something she made for us or cleaning her room... She is in tune with her mind. The other day she got to meet Ashlee's nieces and nephews and Olivia came up to me and told me that she couldn't understand why she was so shy around Ryan. She said, "Mommy, I wanted to say hi to him and talk to him, but I was too shy and I so I didn't say hi to him. Why did I feel shy?"

She is still allergic to milk but can eat foods with milk product. She loves to swim! Olivia and Channing will start swimming lessons this coming Monday! School registration for kindergarten is Aug. 6th... school starts August 19. So hard to believe. She will be going a full day which means she will be getting home from school around the same time her dad will be getting home from work. This will be very good for her. She will be keeping busy learning and socializing! Olivia wears a size 6X-7/8 in shirts and a size 6x in shorts. Her shoe size is 12-12.5 . Her hair is getting really long and I have asked if we could get it cut. She says, "not yet, I have to wait for it to be like Repunzels!"


That's about all the news going on here! Hope everyone's summer is going well!
