14 months

well another month has flown by and my baby is quickly turning into a toddler..today marks 14 months :)

 We were bored at work the other night and thought we would take the ol swing for a trial ride.. i think she may have out grown it..it was fun for a minute though

 SO. we were walking around hastings (book/music/movie store) the other night and we turn our backs for 1 second and we find our daughter holding what? yes a beer bong. and she even had her mouth on it!! we were dying.. and when we took it away from her, she threw fit#651684168. sorry bentley, we were not going to buy u a bb.

 bentleys new thing is watching tv on the couch like a big girl.. she especially likes when her puppy is up there with her..

 we love going to feed the ducks.. bentley looks like a little shephard here.. holding the dog chuckit'. she would not let it go!

 no fear.. she will go right up to those ducks.. who cares if they are bigger? not bentley..

 once again, holding the dog toy in the swing..

the ducks ate an entire loaf of bread that day. fatties.

i caught this on camera this last sunday morning.. RARE moment. bentley is NOT a cuddler.. and what did daddy get on sunday? 10 whole minutes of this!! so jealous!

So @ 14 little months bentley is growing like a weed. dont know how much she weighs.. but i know she has grown a ton! she is a lug! she has her mommas stinky feet and she picks up shoes and says stiiiiiink! it is the funniest thing i have ever heard. her vocabulary grows every day.. her most used sayings are hiiiii dadda or hiiii doggie. stiiink, deees, no!, nigh nigh, she signs "more" when she wants more food and she is a copy cat. she usually tries to say anything we say. she loves her bottle ( i know bad mom award, that should have been gone months ago.. but she will live and im not ready to fight that battle) she loves any kind of animal, we are soooo excited to take her to the zoo this summer. she has to walk on her own every where we go. no more being held.. no way, dont even think about putting this kid in a cart. shopping takes 15x longer now. she loves her daddy omg she loves her daddy.. (note picture above) hates getting dressed, that is a 7 minute battle twice a day. starting to like her baths a little more. loves fish. says hiii fishie everytime she comes into work (cody has a lifesize fish mount in his office) loves elmo and barney. loves applesauce, goldfish crackers, honeycomb, granola bars, and MILK. man my kid is going to have some solid bones, she goes through a gallon in 3 days..loves ice. LOVES ice. cries for ice! crazy kid. we love our princess sooo much!! cheers to being one month closer to my child being able to attend nursery @ church!! (18 months could not come soon enough!) :))

happy new year & a new family member!

Just a little over a week late, but Happy New Year!!

 talking on her big girl cell phone.. which is already lost :(

 Meet Maxx.. on Monday the 2nd, Cass and I went on over to home depot to get us a 75% christmas tree for next year. well we did come home with a xmas tree, but we also came home with a puppy. We were driving and i see a play pin full of puppies on the side of the road and of course wanted to stop. BAD idea. who goes to just look at puppies? obvi not me, i could not leave without cute little maxx. he is half lab, half boxer, so that makes him a boxador i guess. hes now 8 weeks old and he is just the cutest. We have forgotten how hard it is to have a new dog, but he is adjusting well! bentley totally loves him and diesel is so excited to be a big brother. 

this was taken the night we got him.. he was about the size of my slipper. he is so cuddley and loves to be held. he has already grown, i know we wont have a puppy for much longer.. im hoping he wont be too big but we will see! hope everyone had a great new year! cheers to 2012 being amazing!! <3 

Bentleys bday & December

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BENTLEY BLAYKE!!!

(1 month ago today, we've been busy)

 the balloon was her favorite part..

 Bentley had a little birthday party @ g&g Schillers house. Her 2nd cousins came.. she had fun! till she had to take a bath to get all that cake off her face :P

 Bad news about birthdays are birthday shots.. she was nice and sick after her shots of course.. she had lots of cuddle time and tv time. If u can believe it, these 2 pics, top and bottom were taken on the same day. 1st is in the morning at work and 2nd is after work watching barney.. poor baby..

 We entered into the Parade of Lights this year to celebrate 60 years in business! It was a great turn out, the ENTIRE town comes, so it was a great way to advertise and we had a ton of fun. felt like high school days making homecoming floats! :)

 Diesel watching bentley in the morning, bentley watching cartoons in the morning

 Bentley LOVES diapers. Why? maybe they smell good, maybe its cuz they are soft? IDK. She just loves hugging them and carrying them around. these are CLEAN diapers of course...just thought i would clarify.

Well today Bentley is actually 13 months. Cant believe it. time sure does fly when ur having fun! @ her 12 month apt., she weighed 22.5 lbs, 70th%tile and was 32 inches long 80th%tile. Her head was 60th%tile.. Shes our tall girl.. super long and lean. Shes so busy running ALL OVER and getting into EVERYTHING! its hard to keep up, i have no idea how people have twins or any multiples for that matter! Her new things is saying "Hi DADDA and hi dede or hi fishie" and another favorite is GO GO! she is such a sponge, she tries to repeat anything u say or do. such a fun age right now! Her favorite toy is this elephant that blows balls into the air that Cindy bought her for her bday.. OMG she can play with it for hours.  shes in love with any stuffed animal she can hug and kiss (headbutt).

We are excited to see what this new year will bring us! Merry xmas and happy new year all!! Hope it is fab!

Almost birthday girl

Doing some bday shopping...

 At the Montrose playoff game.. having Wendys..

 Before church last sunday :)

Were getting ready for Bentleys big day on Saturday!! Wish you all were here!!

Halloweenie

 Happy Halloween!! (well yesterday)

I saw this on ty pennington's website and had to steal it... Doesnt everyone miss lou bell? :)

Well on a serious note, on October 22nd Cassidys Grandad Bob passed away. His funeral was this last Saturday..

All the Schillers 

 Then Saturday night was the trunk or treat! bentley was a leopard if you cant tell.. she was adorable!

 She had so much fun walking the entire thing

So fun part about the funeral is that cousins Breckan and Tayden were here!! Bentley loves her cousins and had so much fun with them!

I missed posting about Bentleys 11 month info.. weve been busy!

Well she took her 1st steps at 9 1/2 months.. and was only taking one or 2 at a time.. then at 10 months and 1 week she took 29 steps at church one day! it was so cool! she walked from the hall to Cassidy in preisthood so we both got to see it. Ever since then, she has just been walking all over the place! She has been such a happier baby (if you can picture her being happier) since she has been walking. She still has so much attitude and is totally miss independant these days. she doesnt want food unless shes feeding herself, she HATES her baths, loves animals, omg loves animals!! petco is her favorite place on earth. she has "babies" which are her little tiny stuffed animals. she likes to hug, pet, and kiss them. shes saying nigh nigh, dada, mama, deedee (diesel), de do (thank you) and saying hi if you get lucky. she thinks the funniest thing is pretending to kick people.. i know i know bad idea huh. but it cracks her up. She will be one in 18 days cant believe this time last year i was stressin about still being pregnant! we have a crazy busy month ahead of us, so untill next time :)

Happy November everyone!!
