Three and a half.

My girl.

 

Goodness, I look at her now and just watch her grow up before my eyes. She’s turning into such a little girl now and not my baby….why does that have to happen? 

 

Collins is shy, sweet, sassy, kind, cantankerous, caring, and opinionated all rolled into one!  All of her teachers (preschool and dance) tell me she is always so sweet and listens very well; I can totally see her being good in class…and following instructions, etc.  Those who know her really well know that a spirited side can come out too ;-)  She’s still the SWEETEST to her brothers and is constantly worried about them and loving on them.  Every blue moon she’ll get perturbed if they try and take one of her toys or something.   She’s really a good kid, most of the time.  We really don’t have a ton of tantrums (I’m sure I’ll get payback in full force with her brothers (really just Thomas, ha!)…she’s pretty even keeled for the most part, but she will pitch a fit every once in a while when she doesn’t get her way.  Such a tough thing for three year olds to understand, huh!?  She’s gotten better about waking up in the middle of the night and generally it only takes me 3 times of coming back in her room each night to tell her night or give her “one more hug and kiss’ before she finally goes to sleep! 

But, the girl can be CANTAKEROUS. That’s really the best way to describe it, it makes me laugh but when she’s acting that way, watch out!  She’s still really shy meeting new people or doing things she isn’t comfortable with.  I was SO proud of her recently…the cheerleaders invited all the girls from cheer clinic to cheer ON the football field and she went out there!  BIG MOVE.  NO cheering, but I was proud she did that.  I think the older she gets the shyness will go away, because once she gets comfortable around people she is wild and free!  

 

Girl LOVES to cheer and sing ALL THE TIME at home. She’s become OBSESSED with watching music videos and singing (something in the water : carrie is one of her favs).  We have to monitor our phones b/c she knows her way around you tube so well.  She will bust out in her cheer at any given moment and still loves princess play.  She starts back at dance next week and is so excited!

SAYINGS:

She gets her words confused and will say: my belly hurts cause I can’t eat anymore or something like that.

She says: sit nexta side me, momma.


She aays like all the time now!!

And she'll always respond when she learns something new or Tell her about plans or anything she doesn't know she'll say "I didn't know that " I didn't know that Mary brooks had a big girl bed or I didn't know that lolly was coming over. It's so cute. 

She tells Mikey all the time " not funny, daddy" bc he's the jokester of the family. 

I can’t believe my girl is THREE and a HALF.

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
