About That Time

And so it begins...

 Yep, we're in trouble now!



 In related news, this is what the older one has been up to...

They keep me on my toes for sure!

Friday Favorite

Life is captured on my phone these days...I really need to start using my real camera!

Happy Friday!

Mommy & Me Night

Every now and then I think it's important to spend one-on-one time with each of the girls. Last night we made a very spontaneous trip to Disneyland for a couple hours. It was good to get out of the house, spend time with friends, and more importantly spend time alone (without daddy or sister) with my favorite toddler (or is it preschooler now?)

Because it was soooo hot and humid it really wasn't very crowded and we got right on most of the rides in CA. I think the longest we waited was about 10 minutes. We were able to get on quite a few and managed to head out by 7pm so she was home in time to get to bed at a decent hour. My favorite pictures of the night

 

She was being silly in the first one, giving me some cheesy grin, then the ride started going and it was fun to watch the progression of feelings in her expressions. This, though, is my absolute favorite...

Man I love this kid! 

Snacking Machine

So now that she's officially 6 months she thinks she's such a big girl!

I wasn't sure if she was ready for puffs so I started her on mum-mums.

 I got this mom. One handed and all!

Yeah, she tore them up! She ate both crackers in one sitting! Messy face and all she's still so stinkin' adorable.

Guess it's time to start stocking up on more snacks.

Friday Favorite

Her 5/6 month post will up later but for now here's my current favorite:

Happy Friday!

5 & 6 Months

I'm seriously like a broken record. I won't even say it this time. Enjoy the pictures! It's 5 AND 6 months. Gah, total failure!

These 5 month pictures are all from my phone. Apparently I didn't take ANY with my camera :(

Here are her regular monthly pictures...these are 6 months:

 I love this series of her (photo bombed by her sister!)

 Practicing her sitting skills

 Oh the conversations these two will have...

At her most recent dr. visit she weighed in at 13.2lbs and measured 25in. which puts her in the 5th percentile for weight, 18th for height, and 8th percentile for her height/weight combination. Her dr. asked if I was feeding her enough and if she seemed cranky or not like herself. Ha! No, doc, my child is as happy as can be and if you saw her eat you wouldn't be so concerned. This girl can eat! She's like her daddy and sister...they eat a ton and have a very fast metabolism. So thankful they got his genes in that department ;)

In the last two months she has started sleeping through the night consistently! She goes to bed around 6:30 and wakes anywhere between 6:00-6:30. She is a much better napper than her sister was and will take 2-3 naps a day, anywhere from 45min - 2hrs! She continues to be a very happy baby and everyone who meets her is so surprised at how calm and content she is. Until you take her food away though. Now that's a different story! I don't think her hair is going to fall out like Anayah's did. It just keeps growing and getting curlier by the day. I think they'll have different types of curls though. The time continues to fly by and I haven't quite started planning her first birthday, but I need to get on that very soon! For now I'll just continue to cherish her baby-ness...since I know it will soon be gone.

Time is just too fast. I can't keep up. I think I'll start NOW on her 7th month post.

She's THREE!! (and a Happy Belated Birthday)

Happy Birthday Anayah!!

 (celebrating with her friends at school)

(Anxious for her "party" to start)

This year (like last) we just had a few of her friends over for lunch and some cake. Well that was the intention anyway. Somehow it morphed into a custom cake (which was amazing btw), cupcakes, goodie bags, AND decorations! What the what?!

She was very proud of herself for writing these names!

She and her bestie Jack! (His Jake and the Neverlands Pirate Party was the following day)

What a ham!

The little one was cheezin' it up as usual

Haha it sounds more elaborate than it really was but it still crossed over the line of "get together" into "party." Although according to B it isn't a party if there's no jumper! Ugh, maybe next year we'll stick to the "a party only every 5 years" rule!

 (her morning after look...she looks exhausted!)

All in all she had a great time. The meltdown at the end of the night proved it...she was over tired, over stimulated, and over sugared! Man, I'm exhausted all over again. Ha! Now to concentrate on the little one's first birthday party! Hehe.
