HAPPY FOUR MONTHS BABY SISTER!!!

Sweet little love! It's like you just keep getting better and better :) well... except for that whole sleep thing... BUT... we have had a few nights here and there when you've gone the whole way through! SOOOO I know you can DO IT! :)

You really are still the happiest baby on the block :) You did catch your very FIRST cold this past month though and it was the saddest thing. Your little nose was running and you had a cough. It's still hanging on a bit but your mood has never faltered. You've been just as happy even SICK. You even slept through the night two nights in a ROW! :) WE WERE SO PROUD.

Your typical day is pretty much just like the last month... up somewhere between 5-7 for the day, eating every 3ish hours during the day. We usually get at least one chunky nap from yah, either first thing in the AM or later in the afternoon. If you have a fussy time it is DEF. from 4-6PM just like every OTHER baby :)

You are wearing mostly 6-9 month clothes. You have a few 3-6 onesies that still fit. Crazy to me that you popped out at 10lbs and you are only 12lbs now... BUT the pediatrician said that you are just even-ing out and finding your growth groove. You had your first set of shots (vaccinations) this month and you handled it like a CHAMP. The saddest cry ever when you got them but then you were just fine. No fever or red spot or bruising. Your mood was great and you did just fine. Mom was SOOOO happy. I was shaking I was so nervous for you.

 Minnie is still your fav. but Daddy sure can make you giggle. You like to snuggle with Mom and can't say that I mind even a little bit :)

You still love the stinkin' Red Sox binks but I did buy you some new CUTE binks to put in your stocking for Christmas that I HOPE you will like :)

What a little joy and a love you are to us sweet Miss B. We love you SO much!!!

Just a quick post...

Chrissy's baby DID arrive safe and sound... BIG 10LB 13OZ BABY BOY! :) Congrats to all of them...

I'm overwhelmed with LIFE right now, hence the silence... I need to grab my camera and snap some pics...

Enjoy the season of CRAZY everyone... and try to remember the REASON for the SEASON.

Sweet Friend/Family

my sweet friend/cousin-in-law is having surgery RIGHT now to welcome her NEW BABY into the world. Won't you pray with me that everything goes well? :) And for those on the other side of #2 (or more) that she can adjust as quickly as possible? :)

We LOVE you Chrissy and are anxiously awaiting your phone call / email letting us know if we have a new baby GIRL or baby BOY to welcome! :) Hugs to you my sweet girl!

The ANNUAL hunt for the tree...

It's that time again... and don't forget to go back to see how far we've come! :) 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008

It was someones first time...

and I'll letcha guess what she'd did the ENTIRE time? :) Poor thing has had a bit of a cold with a runny nose and a cough so it was good that she got some rest...

Meanwhile... I gotta love Sky turning Minnie's head to LOOK at the camera...

and one of the FOUR of them. Wowzers. I used to beg, borrow and STEAL children and whodha thunk I'd get two of my VERY OWN...

Redneck city central anyone?

Minnie scoping out and doing the heavy on-lookin'

It's not as big as past years but it's a good one and one that required some effort to get it back to the truck...

I had a little moment with Daws in the truck while Husband was getting gas... we only have 3 more SHORT times with this kid... then he'll be away at school somewhere like GA and it just won't be the same. Course after he hauled the tree up the hill with Husband I think he was thinking.... HIP HIP... ONLY THREE MORE YEARS! :)

A swing? For my girl? Yes please.

Sweet Sky...

And the tradition of hot chocolate when we get back home... this year was MEGA COLORED marshmallows! :)

and they were pretty psyched :)

Thank goodness "Tricky" came to help Husband set it up in the living room and then I had Brando and Kylie to get the ornaments way WAY up on the top. Who needs a ladder when you have these two? :)

Thanks guys! :)

A good trip, a fun time and my tree is up and ready!!! Come get cozy!

A Weekend FULL ~ of Fun!
