TV Time

Addie just watching a little TV today while I was getting ready...

 

 

 

6 Months Old!

I cannot believe a half of a year has already passed since we had Addison & Allie. This past week was a rough one, I know it's just going to take some time to heal.

Here's some information about Addison at 6 months old. She is the sweetest baby. She smiles ALL the time. I can easily get a picture of her smiling at any given time.

 

 

She weighs 11 pounds 5 ounces which is under the 5% for weight. And for height she is 24 inches long, also under the 5%. I'm sure with time she'll catch up.

 

Cambree loves Addie. She loves to kiss, hug and hold her. Lately Cambree has been copying how I talk to Addie (baby talk) and it's pretty funny to listen to. I'm glad they have each other.

 

 

She still enjoys bath time. She kicks her little legs so the water splashes out of the tub. Soon she'll need to bathe with Cambree, just as soon as she can sit up on her own.

 

She can grasp objects and holds onto them. It always amazes me when she sees something she wants and grabs it.

 

I think she might be teething because she's really drooly and sticks everything in her mouth.

 

She's been nursing great. I finally gave in and let her try rice cereal for the first time yesterday.

 

As you can see she had some mixed emotions...

 

 

 

 

We know how much of a blessing it is to have our girls apart of our family. Allie is always in our hearts, even though she's not here with us. Love our baby girls that came to us 6 months ago.

30 Years Old!

For some reason turning 30 was hard for me. Probably because I can't say I'm in my twenties any longer. But if I really think about it, I think life in my thirties will be pretty great. I have a loving family and with the years to come, I know it will just get better and better.

 

My parents took me out to lunch and bought me a cake. I think Cambree enjoyed it the most!

 

I also went to dinner with a couple of girlfriends and this weekend Benton is taking me out to celebrate. Here's to my thirties!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's is one of my favorite holidays, I mean who doesn't love a day full of love?

Sadly, I very rarely get Benton anything for Valentine's Day. This year I thought I'd do something special for him, I found the idea online and loved it, a man bouquet. I also got Cambree the little puppy dog whom she calls "Brrr" and Addie a Valentine's book. Benton wrote me a "love letter" as I call it. He was so sweet, that I cried. It was the best Valentine's present I could ask for.

 

One of my cute Valentine's!

 

Hope you had a day full of love as well!

Our turn

I guess at one point or another we were going to get hit with some type of sickness. Luckily we've avoided it until now, well everyone except Cambree. She has a cold; runny nose, cough and a fever.

Anytime she has a runny nose she carries around a wet washcloth. Last time she did this she had wiped above her lip raw that it became a scab and became a scar. I'm hoping it doesn't get that bad this time. She calls it her "napkin". It goes everywhere with her, even if we leave our house it comes along. She's pretty high maintenance when she is sick, so hopefully it passes quickly. She's just so sad.

 

We've been laying around and watching a lot of Mickey Mouse on our IPad.

 

Last night she had a temperature of 104.3, so I had to put her in a luke warm bath to cool her off. Thankfully it helped, even though she cried the whole time.

 

I'm crossing my fingers that little Addie doesn't catch it!

 

More Crafting!

Since Benton is out of town, I've needed to get out of my house. Luckily Aimee and I had a couple more projects that we needed to work on. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

My new pillows in my living room, I love the fabric.

 

 

And a little while ago, I was showing Aimee something I found in a crawl space in my garage and she found this old highchair hidden underneath a bed frame that belonged to the previous owners of our house. It said it was made in 1976 and for only $6- I revamped it and I think it looks darling!

Before...

 

 

 

And After...

 

 

 

Now I have to think of my next project...
