We are truly <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">blessed</span></b>! So far the house is still holding up and thankfully everything broke right before we had to renew our home owner's warranty so it was all covered. Woopie!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm pretty sure that the kids enjoyed the dough far more than the cookies, but since there were no raw eggs in the mix, I wasn't as concerned as I normally am. It's so fun to watch Katelyn get excited about putting all the ingredients in the bowl. We've been working in measurements and recipes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today I took Brayden to his 15 month wellness appointment. Glad to have all the health issues and concerns with his growth behinds us, I was anxious to see how tall he had gotten and how much weight he had gained. It's been a long 3 months and while we've been trying to monitor his height growth at home the last couple months, he's fidgety and I knew I'd get the best measurement today.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are his stats:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Height: 31 inches {yup! that's a 3 1/4 inch growth from his 12 mo appointment)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weight: 22.6lbs</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Brayden's in the 50th percentile for height, 10th percentile for weight and his head is measuring in the 75th percentile.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been so much fun watching Brayden grow and change over the last few months. We have to keep a close eye on him because now that Katelyn's fully potty trained {yup she even wakes up dry} we often find him here:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi166dmaGj9MisAsJjR_q5mQsfCCbgNkT6D5dr5S6bnxlTSNrqlDki5wHQgKm3JLXodIbH9xQitEQPOGOpRqecSWU7w8aO5RIwbH-upI9HyVAt7LPXfctfMclc8Ke2m-y1NV3cbMmKDCR9c/s1600/photo1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi166dmaGj9MisAsJjR_q5mQsfCCbgNkT6D5dr5S6bnxlTSNrqlDki5wHQgKm3JLXodIbH9xQitEQPOGOpRqecSWU7w8aO5RIwbH-upI9HyVAt7LPXfctfMclc8Ke2m-y1NV3cbMmKDCR9c/s400/photo1.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Brayden's favorite person besides his Mama is his sister Katelyn. He adores her and follows her everywhere. They love to play in the pretend play kitchen, build castles with their Little People legos, and run around outside. I'll have to upload the video soon, but Brayden can climb up our little toddler play set outside and slide down the slide all by himself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

When Mommy vacuums the house, he follows along with his little vacuum to help. This picture was taken yesterday with my phone. He was helping Daddy sweep outside.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Brayden is finally sleeping through the night. It began on New Year's Eve and I'm happy to report that I'm not walking around like a zombie anymore. Buddy loves to talk and jabbers on in a language we have yet to understand, but every once in a while we catch a word we recognize {mama, dada, this, that, baba}.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are finally done with bottles and soft tip sippy cups. I have quite the distain for those soft tip sippys. They love to leak everywhere.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Brayden understands what it means to come to the table to eat, get dressed and put on his shoes to go bye bye, take out his paci to talk, find his sister, and come get his juice or milk. This is encouraging to know that he understands even though he can't fully communicate it yet. The pediatrician was very reassuring today that boys tend to develop their large motor skills younger and they usually get their language a little later. This is not always the case, however, it did make me feel better.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This weekend Kyle and I decided it would be fun to hook up the sprinkler in the back yard and let the kids run in the water. Even Daddy got in on the fun. Bradyen, as usual, didn't enjoy running in the water. He just wanted to run around the yard. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

They had moved to California to help plan a church in Long Beach. A church plant based out of a church in Orlando, FL. After being out here for almost a year, they felt the Lord calling back to Orlando, FL, and back to YWAM (Youth With A Mission). Over the years we have remained friends with them. Recently, Rachel mentioned on Facebook that she had started a blog, The Paxton Project, so people could walk with them through the journey they are about to embark on... adopting a second child from Korea. Costs are quite a bit higher than they were when they adopted Tysen.... the total comes to $30,000. After reading through her blog, I felt God calling me to help and before I knew it I had emailed her and all my small business contacts talking about doing a raffle that could help raise money towards the adoption.</div></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />

She had so much fun. Last week we went and watched through the window, then we drove by the preschool we're looking into sending her. She was so excited at dinner telling Kyle all about her day and how she wanted to be a ballerina and go to school. Kyle agreed with her that it would be fun, but mentioned casually that it's for big girls who tinkle in the potty. Guess it was just the "motivation" she needed! She was tinkling in the potty and raring to go yesterday morning.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've gone through frustration, disappointment, confusion, a state of wondering what I'm doing wrong... and then I just gave up. Around Christmas time Katelyn started peeing in the potty all on her own. Of course, she did this the night before we left on our 4 hr drive to Big Bear. So naturally we went out and bought her pull ups the next morning and packed her little potty in the car for the trip. I think all of the excitement from our family, turned into too much pressure for poor Katelyn and she refused to use her potty the whole time we were in Big Bear and then didn't even want to talk about the potty when we got home. In fact we got to the point where she was saying, "stop telling me to go pee pee in the potty." So we did! We put it away and vowed not to mention it until she was curious again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So this past Tuesday I took Katelyn to watch {through the window} a ballet class at a local studio. I've heard great things about this studio, but didn't want to sign her up for classes unless I knew she was interested in taking them. She <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>loved</b></span> it! Then on the way home we drove by one of the preschools we've been looking into. She was so excited we had to drive by twice. I explained to her that when she's ready to go pee pee and poo poo in the potty she can go to school. That night she told Kyle all about her fun day watching the ballerina class and going by the preschool. She told him she needed to tinkly in the potty to go to school and he told her she needed to pee in the potty to go to ballerina class too.<br />
<br />
That was it. On Thursday night Katelyn started peeing in the potty again. Ah, it was awesome!! Well we had a birthday party that next morning and dinner with friends that night. Instead of panicking or putting her in a pull up I gave her the choice. She choose panties and I went with it. I packed 7 changes of clothes and off we went! She pee'd 3 times at the party, once she even told me she had to go and then that night she pee'd at the restaurant. So ever since Thursday night we've been diaper free, except at nap time and bed time. Although she has not pee'd in her pull up during nap time. We are so proud of her. She's only pooped in the potty once, the 2nd time she had to go she had an accident, but we told her not to worry, it was fine!<br />
<br />
Our baby girl is growing up. We are so excited for her and so proud of her making this big decision. In the process we've decided that if she's comfortable going places we're not going to stay home just because we're potty training. It's important for her to learn to go wherever we are and not just get comfortable going in her potty at home.<br />
<br />
Great job big girl. Mommy & Daddy love you so much!<br />

I'm so sorry that I've neglected this blog. I've been blogging, I've just been doing a lot of blogging over at my other blog, <a href="http://www.ragstostitchesboutique.com/"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rags to Stitches</span></b></a>. I'd love for you to check it out. I'm actually thinking of making a switch soon and combining both my family blog to make it easier for me to keep everyone updated. Here's a little update on what's been going on and I promise to try and be better about updating till I make the official blog switch.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">fun</span>, but <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">tiring</span> Christmas vacation. Brayden was extra clingy to Mommy and would only sleep in bed with me. So poor Kyle was stuck sleeping on the top bunk of the bunk bed so that Brayden could sleep in the bottom bunk with Mommy. Katelyn did great and although she was woken up a couple times in the middle of the night she would go right back to sleep. She's such a champ! She had started peeing in the potty the night before we left for Big Bear so we made a big deal and bought her some new panties and some pull ups. Unfortunately I think it was all too much for her and she preferred the pull ups and wouldn't use the potty while we were up there. So we put the potty away again until 2 days ago when she asked me to take it out again. That's a story for a different post. It's an <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">exciting</span> one so stay tuned.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Brayden is a little dare devil and if you're not watching him he thinks he's invincible. For example, earlier this week he decided he could run and jump off the edge of the couch. All I heard from the kitchen was Katelyn yell, "No, no Buddy, " then thump.... and then Brayden's cry. After rushing in the living room found him face down on the floor crying. Poor guy cut his little nose on one of his toys. I know boys will be boys, but this takes that theory to a whole new meaning. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We are having a much better week, this week, with Brayden. Last Saturday night, after going almost a full hour coughing non stop, which resulted in him throwing up, Kyle and I decided enough was enough and at 12:15am, I took him to CHOC in Orange. CHOC is a really great children's hospital and they have a pediatric wing in their ER so we knew we would finally get some answers by taking him there. Since it was so late Kyle wasn't able to go with me, he stayed with Katelyn. We were at the ER the entire night, seriously, B and I got home at 6:30am, but we came home with answers. After a through exam the doctor decided to do a chest x-ray. It was t.e.r.r.i.b.l.e!!!!!!!! They had to put him in this contraption called the Papoose</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGilKWrrbHwR3HNq6P4BF7PVCbbzX6ubNr6j_BIdFg67hA7qvUGH1OsuMvxBbpZWvMnyYTyjahfsZAzZ71PKEUFyd4uKprMOiWKxAHZp6oZ8i4beuvXo08Z-iQuB7cPoL9edHdARqunVmv/s1600/PIGG-O-STAT_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGilKWrrbHwR3HNq6P4BF7PVCbbzX6ubNr6j_BIdFg67hA7qvUGH1OsuMvxBbpZWvMnyYTyjahfsZAzZ71PKEUFyd4uKprMOiWKxAHZp6oZ8i4beuvXo08Z-iQuB7cPoL9edHdARqunVmv/s1600/PIGG-O-STAT_1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">See I told you it was awful! He cried, tears streaming down his face and his cry was beg for his Mommy to rescue him. At this point it was 3am and I was tired and exhausted and the tears just began to fall as I tried to calm him down. Finally they got what they needed and Brayden was released. When we got back to our room, Brayden passed out. Poor little man was so tired and was loosing his voice from all the coughing. The doctor came in not too long after to tell me that the x-ray made it look as though Brayden had an enlarged heart.... WHAT?! .... and so they wanted to repeat the x-ray to be certain. So here I was laying there, Brayden fast asleep, waiting for them to get us for the next set of x-rays. I'm loosing it at this point and wishing Kyle was there with me. The 2nd time in the x-ray room wasn't as bad as the first although having to get back in that contraption woke him up, but the tech was a pro and had him in an out of there so fast. I was so grateful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After what seemed like an eternity the doctor came back in to let me know that B's heart was fine but that his trachea looked narrow due to inflammation and diagnosed Brayden with Tracheal Bronchitis. Finally, an answer! Brayden is now on antibiotics and doing so much better. He's not coughing at all during the night so he's sleeping better and the last couple of days we could count on one hand how many total times he coughed throughout the day. This is truly an answer to prayer and we hope that the cough will soon be gone forever.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Please keep Brayden in your prayers. We really want his cough to go away completely!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love, </div><div style="text-align: center;">Alissa</div>Kyle & Alissa Circlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06385909506090298257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917287391837758582.post-31804049180098519412010-12-08T21:19:00.000-08:002010-12-08T21:19:22.012-08:00Brayden....is... ONE!<div style="text-align: center;">I know that Brayden is just shy of being thirteen months, but it took me a couple weeks to get his 1 year wellness visit scheduled, and then after some unexpected news, another week to post about it. It's still hard to believe he's 1. My little pudgy, cutesy, baby boy is turning into my handsome little man. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's Brayden's stats:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Weight: 22.6lbs</div><div style="text-align: center;">Height 28 3/4 in.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Developmentally Brayden is doing great. He is walking like a pro now and has even started chasing Katelyn around. He can say "Mama, dada, and baba" so he's on target with his language development. Here are some other things he's doing:</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Can stack and pull apart his legos</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Push his vacuum cleaner around the house</div><div style="text-align: center;">- slide down the slide all by himself</div><div style="text-align: center;">- can climb up stairs</div><div style="text-align: center;">- drinking WHOLE milk</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Almost weaned from a bottle</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Almost sleeping through the night. He only wakes up once between 5-6am for a bottle</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Using a fork and a spoon to eat</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Loves to dance</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Loves his Choo Choo Trains</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now to the unexpected news we received at his appointment. Brayden has his a concerning growth plateau. He was in the 90th percentile at his 6 mo. appointment and has not grown more than 3/4 of an inch since then therefore putting him in the 20th percentile. This caused the doctor some concern and they had us take Brayden in for some blood tests {6 viles of blood drawn} to test for everything under the sun and then he had to have an x-ray done of his left wrist and hand. The x-ray is meant to show the bone age growth. The tests came back yesterday and after speaking with the doctor, Brayden and I returned for a follow up visit today. While the results showed that Brayden's growth is on track for a 1 year old because he's been above the 50th percentile up until recently they want Brayden to see an Endocrinologist to make sure that his plateau is not due to a more serious issue. It takes time to see this specialist so in the meantime we will continue to monitor his growth, or lack there of I guess.<br />
<br />
The other thing the tests showed was that Brayden's carbon dioxide levels are low. Normally they should be between 20-30 and Brayden's is a 14!! His pediatrician said that a child with the flu that is severely dehydrated usually is around a 17 so 14 is not so great. They want to run the blood panel again in the coming weeks to see if it's improved. Brayden will also need to see a Metabolic Specialist to make sure that everything is ok.<br />
<br />
Brayden has also been suffering from a nasty cough ever since he got sick almost 2 months ago. The pediatrician wants to do some allergy tests as well as a Whooping cough {she heard him cough and says she's confident it's not, but need to rule it out} swab.<br />
<br />
Yikes! Well we have a lot going on with our little man. As a mom it's hard not to be worried, but I know that the Lord knows what's going on and I'm looking forward to getting some answers in the coming weeks. Please keep Brayden in your prayers. We've heard a lot of information in the last week and hope to have some answers soon.</div>Kyle & Alissa Circlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06385909506090298257noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917287391837758582.post-59322766944791754142010-12-07T21:54:00.000-08:002010-12-07T21:54:01.854-08:00New Pictures of the Kids<div style="text-align: center;">Today I took some pictures of the kids because Katelyn told me Daddy needed pictures for his new office.

Forgive me!! Things have been crazy around here with me being in the middle of <a href="http://www.ragstostitchesboutique.com/">Rags to Stitches for the Holidays</a>: 14 days of giveaways. This Thanksgiving was amazing!! Our family gets together every year, but this year was especially special because we had everyone in the family there and we had 2 new special additions: Brayden and Ashtyn. It was so wonderful to welcome Ashtyn into our family earlier this year and equally special to watch Brendan and Ashtyn enjoy their first Thanksgiving together this year. We truly love her and are so blessed to know her. Katelyn and Brayden love their Auntie Ashtyn!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then on Black Friday Kyle and I had a great day spending time as a family. We put up Christmas light on the outside of our home. It's still surreal to say that!! Some days I still have to pinch myself when I think about the fact that we are finally home owners. The kids helped me put up the tree and our decorations. It was so much fun! I love having quality time with Kyle and the kids. And I love spending the day in my jammies because there's now where I need to be.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

But in this case I was excited about the fabric so I bought it and had no idea what I was going to create. When I began putting together <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Rags to Stitches for the Holidays</span> I knew what the fabric was going to be used for. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Christmas Stockings</span>!!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once a upon a time they were just going to be part of my Christmas present to some of my family members, but after showing them off to my husband he insisted they go in the store. Hope you love them as much as I do. You have 2 color options Red Ruffled Holiday Stocking and Green Ruffled Holiday Stocking. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are $27 each, $50 if you purchase 2.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Even better Rags to Stitches Cyber Monday has begun. Use the code CYBERMON10 at the checkout and you will receive 15% off your purchase. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I picked a<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="http://www.johnnycupcakes.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Johnny Cupcakes</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span>theme. Johnny Cupcakes is a clothing company that Kyle fell in love with a couple years ago and we thought it would make for a great 1st birthday theme. I had so much fun putting all the fun elements together and baking all the cupcakes, cupcake cakepops, and Brayden's birthday cake. Even though the weather didn't cooperate - it poured - everyone had a great time!! Even me, who spent the whole week stressing out about all our friends and family being stuck inside our house when we have a big backyard. Kyle and I feel so blessed by all the people who came to help us celebrate Brayden turning <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">1</span>. We <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">love</span> you all!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I can't even believe it!! My little baby who was born 1 year ago weighing in at 7lbs 10oz is now my walking, talking, toddler. We had a fun filled day starting with MOPS in the morning, then a lunch time family celebration and presents. We spent the whole day singing "Happy Birthday to you" and every time we sang Brayden would clap and give us kisses, it was too cute!! Here are some pictures from our day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
