4 Months!

Hello! Ok so I am kind of slacking again... LOVELY. OH and I just wanted to tell everyone that I will NOT be blogging daily in 2012... I don't even know what I was thinking. I will {HOPEFULLY} be blogging weekly! I repeat WEEKLY. [about pinteresting things] I think that I can handle this adventure. I hope so anyway.

SO on to the good stuff. MAXSON and KENLEY are 4 MONTHS old! (well on Dec. 11th) What?! Where did the time go? I swear it seems like just yesterday we were figuring out names, and talking about what our babies might look like, and dreaming about what they might be like! And now, my sweet little newborn babies are INFANTS. No longer sleepy, sweet, yummy smelling newborns! They are now smiling, giggling, grabby, perfect little infants!

{PS I am also going to start posting monthly about Max and Kenley. Just things that I will want to remember later on.}

.Appointments.

Max and Kenley had their 4 month appt. on the 12th. HERE are their stats:

MAXSON: Weight- 14lbs 5oz (38%)

Height- 25" (54%)

Head- 42.2 cm (49%)

KENLEY: Weight- 11lbs 11oz (12%)

Height- 23 1/2" (22%)

Head- 39.7 cm (17%)

They are growing! YAY! It is so funny to actually see the difference in these two. You would be amazing at how much 3 pounds makes a difference. Max is our little chunk. And Kenley is our little one. I am glad that she is the smaller one. I think that they both would grow up with a complex if Max was smaller than his sister.

.Milestones.

-Max is laughing! He loves to play peek-a-boo and to play in his EXERsaucer that Grandpa J got him for Christmas. He has the cutest laugh! It makes us all laugh so hard!

-Max is starting to actually grab at things with intent. He loves to lay under his jungle gym and swat at the elephant.

-Max LOVES talking. This boy talks all the time. And seems to be especially loud during church... well at least he is not crying all the time.

-Kenley has discovered her hands. And they are ALWAYS in her mouth. Her favorite thing to do is to grab moms hair, and pull it towards her mouth! Seriously considering chopping my locks. She doesn't like teething toys yet, just her hands.

-Kenley is a little bit more serious of a baby. She loves to smile and has the most tender little giggle! But you have to get her RIGHT in the morning to see her cute smile, or right after she has eaten.

-Kenley is ALMOST rolling over! She can get up on her side, but her arm gets in her way!! She loves having alone time on the new quilt Nana made her.

This past month we got to do so many fun things! LOVE the HOLIDAYS!

-We had Thanksgiving here in Pocatello with the Jensen's. I love thanksgiving. This year for the month of November, I posted an instagram picture of something I was thankful for everyday! It is fun to look at and to remember certain things!

-My mom and I went Black Friday shopping. BUT only to JoAnns! It was crazy. But TOTALLY worth it. Got some cute fabric for me to make crib sheets ! [PINTERESTING thing post to come*]

-At the beginning of December, Eric's parents met us in Salt Lake City! Corey (Eric's dad) was able to get tickets to the Christmas Devotional! We got to spend the whole weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Massey! We went to YUMMY sushi. Then spent all day shopping at Fashion Place mall! It was so busy, and I swear, we saw about half a million cute pregnant ladies and new babies. Well I guess it is Utah... Just kidding I am totally one of those new moms now and I love it! We went to Temple Square and walked around and saw the lights. That is one of my FAVORITE things to do over Christmas! I love the wonderful spirit the Temple grounds has, and it is BEAUTIFUL with all of the lights. Max LOVED the lights. He would not blink! It was so fun! Sunday we got to go to Church in SLC and then waited around to go to the Christmas Devotional. Unfortunately, Max and Kenners couldn't come! (no kids under 8) So Grandma Judy stayed at the hotel and watched them while Corey, Eric, Aunt Julie, and I were able to go and listen to the prophet!

-My friends Kourtney, and Jessi, and I threw a baby shower for our friends Ashley! She is having a baby girl this March! It turned out SO amazing! I am so thankful for all the people that helped and we had SO much fun planning, decorating and celebrating! I have known Ashley for a long time, and I am SO stinking excited for her to have this baby! She is going to be such a good mommy!

-Christmas Eve we had our annual Jensen, Bodily, Lowman Christmas celebration at my parents house. Every year our families get together to catch up and celebrate the season! It is so much fun when we all get together! I love these guys like they are my own family!

-Christmas Day! MY absolute favorite thing is to give gifts to people for Christmas! I always go over budget. (BAD!) This Christmas was the best! I feel like since I have become an adult, Christmas has SORT of lost its magic! Don't get me wrong, I have always enjoyed celebrating, and remembering the life of our Savior. But I feel like it has just lost some magic. Sort of just monotony. BUT this Christmas was the BEST! It was so fun to buy for my babies! I am so excited for next year and the years to come when they start to understand the real meaning of Christmas. And also for the MAGIC of the season! For Santa. For Elf of the Shelf. For reindeer, and snowmen, and gingerbread houses! Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I hope and pray that my children love it just as much as me!

-Yesterday we got to go down to Logan to meet up with some of our FL friends! We went down a little early so that my good friend Dani could teach me how to edit photos, and so I could see and love on her little girls! Hazyl and Hattie are going to be besties with Kenley I am sure. Then we got to go to dinner with Adam and Brittney! WE LOVE THE JACOX's! They are currently expecitng their first baby! A boy! And I couldn't be happier for them! We were supposed to meet up with a couple other families, but they couldn't make it! Stupid sickenesses!

NOW we are just gearing up for New Years, and for the new year! I am starting to think of my Massey High Five... (five goals I want to complete in 2012). I will let you know what they are as soon as I know.

Also, pictures to come. Maybe after the weekend. OR maybe tomorrow! We shall see!
