Which means, it was her last day with Teacher Betsy, our favorite teacher ever! :( I can't believe that Darby was 1.5 yrs old and in diapers when she started preschool, and now she is all done. Next year we're switching to a drop off only preschool, and only because of Teacher Betsy is she ready for such a feat! </div><div style="text-align: center;">For our last circle time Teacher Betsy called up each child and gave them a hug, a certificate, and some bubbles. And there wasn't a dry eye in the house when we sang the goodbye song for the last time. Us grown ups could hardly get through it! Oy, it's SO hard to say goodbye to such a light in your child's life! Thank you so much Teacher Betsy, for helping Darby come out of her little shell and be just a little more ready for all the new big things coming up in her life! We love you!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d09Xtk1K4zU/Te8XKXGPrdI/AAAAAAAAChU/mgL2JeJ4Aik/s1600/IMG_1461.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d09Xtk1K4zU/Te8XKXGPrdI/AAAAAAAAChU/mgL2JeJ4Aik/s400/IMG_1461.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Darby still needed her 3 yr check up done, so it was perfect to get hers taken care of at Sawyer's 2 month check up. They both did great!<br />

We talked more about his neck/head problem (he prefers to lay his head only to the right) but the doc said to just keep working with him on practicing turning it the other way and we'll check it again at his next check up. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He is such a good baby. He sleeps through the night and eats like a champ! He still spits up a lot, but it just seems to be his thing! I was worried at first he wouldn't gain adequate weight with all his spitting up, but he proved me way wrong. I also talked to the doc about the possibility of acid reflux, but since he sleeps through the night and doesn't complain much anymore he thinks he's fine. Just a spitter! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

She hasn't seen the doc in a while, so she shook his hand and said 'Im Darby Lee Crompton and Im 3!' when he came in ;) So cute! He checked her all over and she is the picture of health. He had her balance on one foot, jump up and down, draw, name some colors, etc. She even got to wear the big girl gown. My lil baby girl isn't so little anymore I guess. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I love my two kiddos! And my lil fam-bam. This Mother's Day Dave was cleaning his brother's roof so I went to my sissy's house for brunch with my Mom and kids. It was so lovely! And to top it off, we got to meet her new 10 week old English Springer Spaniel, Delaney! What a cute pooch :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Holy sunshine! It was beautiful, sunny and 66 degrees today, so we headed to the Tulip Fields in Skagit Valley. The flowers were gorgeous and the kiddos had fun. Well, Sawyer slept in his carrier and Darby demanded to know where the swings and slides were in this so called 'Flower Park,' but hey, we enjoyed the sun and the sights! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I forgot to take pics on Easter Sunday (gasp!) Well, I remembered, but it was after Darby had purple jelly bean drool all over her sweater and Sawyer had spit up all over himself. So I had to torture the kiddos and get them dressed again for some quick pics like a week later. And yes, now I see I could have spent 2 seconds and run a comb through Darby's hair....but hey, I'm still getting used to this 2 kids thing! ;)</div><br />

I'm terrible at blogging! We had a baby a month ago, and still no blog posts about him! Sorry Sawyer, I guess I just love spending my time with you and Darby more than blogging about it ;) <br />
<br />
Lil Guy was born on March 21st at 1:32am weighing in at 9 lbs 9 oz, and was 21.5 inches long! He was such a good boy and only made me push for 17 minutes. I had been having irregular contractions for 2 days and they weren't getting closer than 5 minutes apart. Actually, the average was probably more like 8 minutes apart. But they finally let me go into triage, and it turned out my water had broken at some point (I had no idea) and I was 4cm so I was able to be admitted. I got an epidural, rested, and then started pushing around 1:15am. Quite the easy experience compared to the first time around!<br />

Darby did great meeting her new lil bro! We had some hurdles when she came back from my parents house (potty in her pants, acting like an all around crazy person) for a few days, but she got over it quickly and we're rapidly falling into the new routine of being a fam of 4! She adores her lil brother and always asks to hold him, she knows when he needs a diaper change, tells me when he's hungry or just wants his binky ;) Im so proud of how she has adjusted! She gets to see her friends a lot (thank you everyone for all your visits!), and she has preschool twice a week, so she can feel like life is still normal and Darby-centric ;) It's been so fun to see her as a big sissy!<br />
<br />
<br />
Sawyer left the hospital weighing 9 lbs 5 oz, then was down to 9 lbs 2 oz at his doc appt, and then a week later was up to 9 lbs 12 oz. Now that he is a month Im sure he is gaining well! He is quite the lil spitter-upper which I am SO not used to (Darby never even threw up til she was 2!!), and he is very very fussy at certain times of the day (and when I say fussy I mean he is trying to make sure I burst an eardrum soon). I might talk to the doc about acid reflux or something, to see if there is anything we can do to help him. But I do know that some babies are just more vocal than others, or just more colicy. He is having more and more quiet awake time, especially in the morning. I love seeing him look around and kick his legs, so cute! He definitely LOVES his daddy! It's too funny, it's as if he searches him out and once he finds him he doesnt look away!<br />
He *usually* wakes up once at night, around 3-4am, and then again around 6-7am, and takes a long nap late morning. But then again, sometimes it's totally different.....so I guess we haven't fallen into a sleep routine quite yet. But Im definitely seeing improvements from the first week at least! ;)<br />
<br />
Im learning that every baby is different. He is TOTALLY different than Darby was as a baby. At first I was so exhausted and worried I would never be able to handle two kids, and already at the 4 week mark things are getting so much better. Im so happy to have Sawyer in our lil fam and to see how he and Darby will interact as they both get older. It's also so fun to see Dave with his new lil boy. He has helped me so much these first few weeks and Im so thankful for him! Also, we have literally only had to cook about 2 times in the past 4 weeks! Our friends and family have been SO generous and we have received so many meals from people!! So wonderful (and delicious)!! We are so spoiled and I wont remember how to turn on the oven if this keeps up ;) <br />
<br />
We are already so in love with our new lil guy, and we can't wait to see him grow!<br />

It was Darby's 3rd birthday, too, of course! She had a fun little party with friends on Saturday and a fam party/Super Bowl shin dig on Sunday.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Earlier this year Darby's preschool had an auction fundraiser and we bid on having her party at her preschool with her teachers - and we won! It was such a blessing to not have to do much and just sit back and let the teachers run the show, especially this late in my pregnancy. They did SO great, the kids had such a blast! Several kiddos canceled the morning of the party due to yucky colds and flus, but we still had lots of fun and Darby had a great time.</div><br />

I know lots of kids get their first haircut long before they turn 3 yrs old, but Darby is just not one of those kids! I haven't had the heart to get it cut yet. But it has been getting longer and longer, and harder to manage. So I thought right before her 3rd birthday would be a good time to visit Bella and Max at Country Village in Bothell and get it snipped. She did SO amazing! She sat so still and was so quiet, even while a little baby boy screamed bloody murder in the seat next to her ;) It was his first haircut, too, but he was probably just 1 yr old.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Here is the before pic (you can see how long her hair was in the mirror) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TUtPeMH7tMI/AAAAAAAACdY/wmoePY3kg6o/s1600/haircut1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TUtPeMH7tMI/AAAAAAAACdY/wmoePY3kg6o/s400/haircut1.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm so proud of my big girl! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Bella and Max gave me a lock of her hair to keep ;) I don't know why I'm so sentimental about this! I even almost screamed 'Stop! Nevermind! I changed my mind, don't do it!' as the girl started cutting her hair. But I kept quiet and let her finish. I guess in the end, it's just hair and will grow again! Darby is very proud of her big girl haircut, and that's all that matters.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm so proud of her this year. She has done so well being dropped off once a week at preschool and seems to be coming out of her little shell even more. She sings along with all the songs at circle time and participates much more this year. Next year we won't be returning to the co op - we decided on a solely drop off preschool since I feel I will just be too busy with the new baby to do the co op once a week again. (She gets dropped off once a week, but I have to also stay once a week, too). We toured some schools today and decided on <b><a href="http://kidsatthecreek.com/">Kids At The Creek</a> </b>which is run out of <b><a href="http://goldcreek.org/">Gold Creek Community Church</a> </b>in Mill Creek. It just really felt right as soon as we walked in, and Darby seemed so comfortable there! (We may even start going to church there)! We will definitely miss the co op, especially Teacher Betsy, but I think it's best for our lil family. And I will be returning to the co op with baby boy as soon as he is old enough for the 1-3's class. Just love that Teacher Betsy! Darby has learned so much from her. Great teachers are such a blessing :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This year we went to Bremerton to celebrate the merriness.

But she managed to leave some cookies for Santa to gobble down.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TRjae6yGUdI/AAAAAAAACcA/j2_06b_eZo4/s1600/IMG_1111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TRjae6yGUdI/AAAAAAAACcA/j2_06b_eZo4/s400/IMG_1111.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

But there is one album I grew up listening to in the Willcoxon household that NO ONE ELSE in the world seems to know about! Dave makes fun of me every year when I pop in this particular CD, even though I think it is secretly starting to grow on him. So along with Amy Grant's Christmas Album, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, and the rest of the favorites, everyone should take a listen to (drum roll please) -<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TRPmAJNoGHI/AAAAAAAACb4/PlMNgn4LInA/s1600/rogerwhittaker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TRPmAJNoGHI/AAAAAAAACb4/PlMNgn4LInA/s400/rogerwhittaker.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
That's right! The Roger Whittaker Christmas Album! It's the BEST. He's European, dontcha know ;) With such tunes as Momma Mary (Darby's fav), Hallelujah It's Christmas, Darcy the Dragon (my fav), A Time For Peace, and Country Christmas how can you NOT get in the Christmas spirit?! I am seriously so grateful for my weirdo parents who picked this album out of oblivion and stuck it in our record player when I was a kid. Awwww memories. But really, the story goes like this - my dad went to pick up some Christmas music at the store early on in their marriage and saw the cover of this one and grabbed it. Didn't know ANY of the songs. And now it's a family classic. Yay Dad! <br />

Take a listen someday when you're not all drowning in Christmas cheeriness and business - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Roger-Whittaker-Christmas-Album/dp/B000003FSQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1293150050&sr=8-1">click here to listen</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673672973949958033.post-36241171333989304322010-12-17T23:48:00.000-08:002010-12-17T23:48:40.634-08:00Family Photo Session w/ Claire<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TQxge78UmiI/AAAAAAAACag/y8fY2iXQnik/s1600/_DSC2068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_E5ziNk1RSso/TQxge78UmiI/AAAAAAAACag/y8fY2iXQnik/s400/_DSC2068.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Right after Thanksgiving the talented <b><a href="http://www.clairegilfillanphotography.com/">Claire Gilfillan</a></b> had a mini-shoot, so we took advantage of her stellar deal and expertise and got some family photos done for 2010. It was perfect timing for Christmas cards and to also capture a little bit of the pregnant tummy before baby boy arrives! We were so happy with how she captured our lil family, she really is such a talented photographer. Thank you again Claire!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's been crazy already and it's only December 10th, but we're definitely having a blast! Today Darby got her annual pic with Santa at Alderwood Mall. She was so excited and even told him she likes Mickey Mouse, which totally surprised me. What happened to Elmo and Curious George?! ;) Well here she is in all her glory. <br />

Getting in the holiday spirit, picking out our tree, decorating and making cookies for cookie exchanges is just even more fun with a little 2 and a half year old girl to enjoy it with! Seeing everything through her excited eyes makes it even more special.<br />
<br />
We headed out to Farmer Brown's to pick out our tree again this year, and found a great one! <br />

Boy names will be the end of me! Why are boy names so hard?! Of course plenty of names sound cute enough, but then imagining my lil boy out on the playground someday with some of those names is, well, interesting. We had a girl name picked out which we will just have to put on the back burner for awhile til (if) we have another baby girl. In the meantime, I'm having boy-name probs!<br />

Darby was so excited to have Bamma, Boppa AND Auntie Steffie join us with our friends for the fun! We had a great time and rounded out the evening with a yummy meal at Azul. Happy Halloween!<br />
