Santa!

Yesterday I got the girls dressed up and we went to visit Santa. The girls (mostly Piper) had a blast. Piper knew exactly what she wanted and she was ready to tell the big guy. Luckily when we got there we only had to wait a couple of minutes because Piper was just vibrating with excitement. When it was her turn, she hopped on his lap, told him her name and age, and listed what she wanted. When she was done, she gave him a hug and told him she loved him. I thought it was so cute. Paige on the other wasn't too into it. She sat on his lap long enough for me to take a quick picture and then I could tell she was done. I picked her up before she could even think about crying. All in all it was a fun time. I'm glad we got to go.

A quick pic before we left. Can you see the excitement on Piper's face?!? Waiting in line and still excited!!!

Daddy's Girls

They may spend their days with me, but they sure do love hanging out with their Daddy when he gets home from work.
I just had to add this picture of Miss Paige wearing Doug's hat. I thought it was too cute!

Slumber Party

The other day Piper was laying in our bed watching some early morning cartoons and she wanted Paige to join her. Paige wasn't into laying around, but she did hold still long enough for me to get a couple of pictures. I am so happy that they love each other as much as they do. I hope they will always be best friends.

10 Months Old!

Yes I know I am late again, but this last month just got away from me. I say it every month, but I just can't believe that my baby is 10 months old already. I still remember feeling her moving around in my tummy. Now is just moving anywhere and everywhere she can go. She isn't hands and knees crawling yet, but boy can this baby army crawl. She is quick! She also has four brand new teeth - two on the bottom and two on top. She is super proud of them. She loves to show them off by smiling and of course taking a nip here and there. We never were able to get her to drink from a bottle, but we were able to teach her to drink out of a straw. She loves to drink water and juice just like her sister. She also enjoys trying new foods. I usually feed her first and then she sits at the table while we eat. Lately, she lets it be known that she wants to try what we are having. So far we have found she loves pasta, potatoes, and avocados. She also loves to talk. She especially likes to say dada and get Doug's attention. It is just too cute. All in all, my baby is getting bigger and bigger everyday. I love her so much and I am so happy to be her mama. Check out this toothy grin!

Snow Day!

Last night we had over 7 inches of snow fall. When Piper got up this morning she was practically shaking with excitement. She couldn't wait to get dressed and head out into the snow. Her fantastic snowlady!

Teeth and Faces

Paige got two more teeth. She is so proud of her little teeth! Also, this is her newest face she makes. I love it!!!

Showing off her two bottom teeth. They are so cute!!!!

Gingerbread House

Last Saturday Mica Shae came over to hang out for awhile. To keep to the girls busy, I thought it would be a good idea to put a gingerbread house together. The girls totally got into it and loved creating and decorating the house. It was fun to just sit back and see where their imaginations took them.

The finished product.
I love the snowman behind the house.

Finally!!!

We all have something to smile about today. Paige got her first two teeth today! She has been struggling so bad with her teeth lately and has just been miserable. I was so happy to see that the two little buggers finally broke through. Hopefully she can get a bit of a break before the next ones appear.

Happy Halloween

Yes this is late, but I still wanted to share a couple of pics of the cutest witch and pumpkin around. I was unable to take a picture of the girls together (neither one was in the mood for a quick photo session) but at least I was able to get a shot of each girl. I was so happy that the weather held out and we missed the rain. Piper had an absolute blast trick or treating with Doug and some neighbors and Paige and I enjoyed handing out candy. Piper filled her bucket to the brim and we now have enough candy to last for awhile (I don't know if that is a good or bad thing). I can't wait for next year when both girls can go together!

What to do...

...on a fall day? Take pictures while playing in the leafs of course. It was a beautiful outside so we decided to play in the last of the leafs that are left in our yard. I think both girls enjoyed it.
She loves her Bigslee! I think this is one of my new favorites!


She is getting so big. I can't believe what a beautiful person she is growing up to be. I am one proud mama!

They truly love one another.

That Time Again

Today we took Paige for her 9 month pics with the fabulous Miss Lala from Shady Lane Studios. I got this hat last year at a craft show when Paige was still in my tummy and have been saving it for a special occasion. I love it! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

9 Months!

She is 9 months old. I cannot believe that my baby is 9 months old! Paige just had her nine month doctor's appointment and she is moving right along. She weighs 16 lbs 15 ozs. and she is 28 1/4" long. She is such a happy baby. She is trying to crawl but has decided that she can get where she needs to go by scooting on her tummy. She is a good little eater and we haven't found anything that she doesn't like. We are having a bit of a time trying to get her to drink from a sippy cup. She prefers me and is pretty bullheaded (she gets it from Doug - sorry honey) about trying anything else. She loves to play with her toys especially her stuffed animals. Whenever she gets a new "lovey" she just holds them up to her face and gives them big loves. She is such a little treasure - my Paige.





Pretty eyes! This is her version of winking!
