Happy Tuesday!!

This past weekend we went to Pappy's and A did fantastic! She even did well on the car ride (thanks to her daddy for keeping her awake for a LONG time until we got ready to leave). While we were there, we captured A's first "real" laugh. I will try and post a video of it. This girl melts my heart! 

I love sleepy babies!

On a sad note... please pray for our friends/neighbors, the Cox family. Travis was killed in a motorcycle accident Sunday evening. His wife and kids need all the prayers they can get.

3 Months

We are almost done with size 1 diapers.  Already?  This is going by sooo fast! You still wear some 0-3 month clothes, but have started wearing 3-6 month clothes.  You still take many naps a day, but when you are awake you are very alert.  You give us tons of smiles and you coo all the time. You eat every 3 hours still.  You get one bottle a day at Aunt Janet's and I come feed you at lunch.You love the bathtub! This is Daddy's favorite time with you! He pours water on you and you absolutely love it.  While I put lotion on, Daddy reads you Goodnight Moon. You love looking at the pictures. You have slept through the night about 5 times, but most of the time you wake up at 3-4 a.m. to eat and go right back to sleep.

You weigh about 14 pounds. You still love your swing and the bouncy seat at Aunt Janet's. We got you a carseat bar toy and you LOVE it.  Lately, you have screamed in your carseat the whole time, so we thought we would try to keep you busy back there.  So far, so good! You are going to your Pappy's house this weekend for the first time and we are so excited.  "A" we love you so much and don't even remember life without you.  I feel like you have always been a part of our family. We couldn't have asked for a better baby!
 

 

Loving Spring!!

I am loving this beautiful spring weather.  Brent and I love to take A on walks in the evening and she is starting to really enjoy it as well.  Thank goodness because Brent is super outdoorsy and really wants A to enjoy it just as much as he does. :) We had our friends John, Jake, Julia and Baby S over for a cookout on Saturday.  It was wonderful weather so we decided to do a mini photo shoot of the babies together.  These babies melt my heart.  We hope they are as good of friends as their parents are. I am not sure S is agreeing with me. Ha!

This weekend, we are headed to Mountain Home to see my dad. He has been SUPER busy during tax season but thankfully that slows down today! We haven't been to Mountain Home in a long time and this will be A's first time there. She is sure to love it. So... right now I am working for the weekend. Lets just pray she does good in the car. Lately, it has been a struggle to keep her happy in the car. I am hoping it is just a phase. Have a good rest of the week!

Wordless Wednesday

Easter Weekend

This weekend was so nice! Brent and I stayed home with A and had such a relaxing weekend. Friday night we decided to "try" and make Benihana fried rice, chicken and veggies. I will have to say we had a lot of fun trying... :) Ha... nah it was pretty good, but definately not like Benihana. Saturday, we got our car serviced and ran a bunch of errands. A was soooo good all day long and we ended our evening with a good movie!

 

 I was so excited to dress A up for Easter. I put two different outfits on her. Goodness, I love this girl!

She was an angel all day. We had Easter lunch at our place with Brent's parents and our good friends, Nathan, Allison and Ryan, Carolyn and their sweet baby. Also, their parents were in town and joined us. We had a lovely lunch! Now... the work week begins again. Only 6 more Mondays left for me! Oh how I can't wait!! Have a fantastic week!

Busy Week!

This week has been a crazy week. We had a gospel meeting at church Monday through Wednesday. My good friend Julia had her precious baby boy Wednesday evening. Of course, I was there Wednesday night and Thursday evening wanting to snuggle on that precious boy. On top of all of my extra activities, we had our state tests this week at school. My poor kids and I were sooo exhausted! And now, finally, it is Friday and I am more than ready to relax with my little family this weekend. It's so nice getting to slow down on the weekend and love on my sweet girl. She's getting so big and it makes me want to cherish every second with her. Luckily, I go see her for an hour each day at lunch. If I couldn't do that, I might go nuts! :) Enjoy your Easter weekend!

Lunch Date!

Love getting this happy girl ready in the mornings

Meet baby "S".  He's so precious!

So this weekend, I tried A out in the Bumbo seat and here is what she thought of it...

Mom... Why didn't you show this to me earlier?

And just because we LOVE bathtime!!!!

Have a great week!!!
