Eight months old: October 17.

Emotionally, it's getting a little harder for me to write these posts.  I mean, I would bet you a million dollars that February was only 3 or 4 months ago, not EIGHT!  WHAT?!? Only four more months and I will have a ONE year old?  I do LOVE each stage though and this one is lots of fun!!  Collins is into EVERYTHING!  They call her Miss Nosy at daycare:-)  But, seriously...she's constantly on the go, crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything.  She likes to stand on top of her toys when she plays with them.  It's too cute.  She's getting better and better each day standing and I'm sure before I want it to happen, she will be cruising around furniture walking.  *sob moment* She has recently started to try waving and is really "talking" more.

She still sleeps like a dream...she literally loves her crib.  Each night when we put her in there we play peek a boo with her for about five minutes and she gets in these laughing fits that are just absolutely precious.  It's one of my favorite times with her.  She pulls right on up and just LAUGHS out loud at us for forever, but as soon as I turn off the light she just lays down and gets that thumb.

Still NO teeth!  I think this is NUTS.  I'm not concerned in the least, it's just crazy to me how long she is taking to get them considering she's been "teething" (wanting something to chew on/drooling/etc.) for a good three months now.

She is still wearing size 2 diapers, and 6 month clothes.  No clue how much she weighs now, but I swear she is chunkin' up more and more by the day!

First ear infection took place this past month, no fun!  Honestly, she wasn't all too bothered by it..but hopefully it will be all gone soon.

Our routine lately:
Wake up: anywhere from 7-8 am depending on who is driving that day to work, if we carpool, etc.  On weekends, I sometimes have to WAKE her up at 9am.  Seriously!  *I'm trying to prepare myself NOW, mentally for baby number two, there is NO way I will have two babies that sleep this well. 
Nurse: around 8am
First "meal": around 9:30 or 10: normally a fruit
Nap: after first meal, this um...doesn't happen at daycare for some reason, but at home she goes down right away for this nap!
12: Bottle (at daycare she also gets rice cereal at this time...at home, eehhh...we've been skipping this meal a lot, she doesn't seem to miss it)
Nap: Somewhere between 12:30 and 2 she will go down for a good, long afternoon nap, lasting anywhere from 1.5 hours to 3 hours.
4:00: Bottle
6-7 pm: Third "meal" of the day: some type of veggie
7:30: Bath
8:00 Nurse and bed

Photo shoot time.

 Practicing her wave.
 Have to be ready to grab her on a seconds notice...
 OMG...those chunky legs!!  LOVE.

xoxo baby girl.

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
