wacky wednesday weekly photo... EXCITED

This weeks theme is EXCITED!!!
Yesterday there was a glimmer of sunshine so I decided to bundle the girls up, put them in the stroller and go for a much needed walk... we enjoyed ourselve, but...

we only lasted fifteen minutes. We were a bit too excited for the sunshine!

4 months...

Sofia Pearl...or "miss P" as I often call you! Where did the last four months go, I feel like you were just inside of me and all of the sudden you have been in this world, in my arms, for FOUR months!
You are so cute. So content. You laugh easily and are typically well tempered! You eat between every three and four hours and typically go six hour stretches at night, sometimes more, and much to my dismay sometimes less! You sleep well in your bed but still prefer to sleep in your swing.You roll easily from your stomach to your back and are so close to rolling from your back to your stomach, I know it wont be long. I left you for the first time for more then a few hours this weekend, you took the bottle like a champ and were super good for your Nana and Auntie K... it blessed my heart to know you were so happy even without me here to comfort you! You are a mamas girl! You are growing and growing and growing altho we havent had your four month check up yet so I am unsure what you weigh exactly. I wish I could pause you at this age, just for a little bit, you are so precious! .
You love your bouncy seat, you love your baby einstein videos and you love to hold your toys and chew them! you like to watch your big sister and giggle when she kisses your face! You laugh, deep from the pit of your stomach at me or daddy when we blow rasberries on your tummy or give you eskimos on your nose. You are the perfect addition to our family. We love you Miss P!

GIRLS WEEKEND

I am so blessed to have inlaws that are always so willing to help out! Because of Kevins mom and sisters sweet generosity in coming up and helping Kev out (he had to work applebees over the weekend) I was able to spend a baby free weekend in Ohio with my friends Sarah and Lindsay V visiting our friend Lindsay R who recently moved there! We had a blast, we went to a movie, ate way too much, shopped the outlets, played with Lindsays adorable boxer puppy Jeter and went to IKEA, which could be my new favorite place! I ofcourse had to pump the entire time but it was still so fun to relax for a weekend!
I was terribly uneasy leaving my babies, specifically Sofie, for a weekend because thus far she has hated taking a bottle, even with breast milk in it! She did GREAT tho, I left just over 50 ounces of pumped breast milk for her and she took it like a champ. Averi did throw up shortly after I left, but so I wouldn't worry I wasnt informed of this until I got home, she was apparently fine the rest of the weekend tho! Thank you so much Auntie K and Nana for giving me a weekend off, I know the girls loved spending it with you guys, they could not have been in better hands!

We got Averi "the beginners bible" for valentines... here she is with it!

Sofie got a new bottle to use while i am out of town next weekend, I didnt take a picture because she is not to fond of it!

LOVE LOVE LOVE

oh how I love every little detail about these girls... they are beautiful and spunky, i cant imagine my life without them!

Grace came to play!

We hadnt got to see Grace and her mom Holly since they visited us in the hospital when Sofia was born...and boy had we missed them! Holly is a dear friend and I so enjoy getting to spend time with her and Averi and Grace play so well together! It was so good to see them, hopefully it wont be three more months before we see them again!

Averi is all about being a good mama... she carries her babies all over the house talking to them, patting their backs, rocking them, AND "nursing" them...

the cutest couple I know

My dear frend, and new neighbor, Ashleys little boy, Nathan, is about four months older then Sofia. We have joked since they were in the womb that they are destined for one another... I caught a few pictures of them together the other day and thought I would share...they are by far the cutest couple I know!

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS...

oh how I love having sweet daughters...

They play dress up, here is Averi and some of her buddies all decked out...


They cook yummy meals in their kitchens... here is Av and another buddy cooking in her kitchen...



And they look extra sweet with a BIG flower on their heads...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADDISON!
Our sweet nephew turned 7 this month! I cant believe he is 7, he was 3 when I met him! Addison is one of the smartest, kindest, best natured and well behaved kids I have ever met. He is 5 years older then Averi yet he lets her follow him around everywhere, Averi is his biggest fan! So here is to you Addison, we love you!
