Our Week in Pics (week 32)

I love this time of the year, all the Holidays and parties! We went to a Halloween Party with the girl scouts. Sarah’s troop invited Samantha’s troop and we had a lot of fun! Both girls won in the costume contest. Samantha got best overall costume, and Sarah the cutest costume. I kinda knew Sam had it in the bag though. She looked awesome.

Shelby loves to play, dance, and talk. She finally has been saying “mama” again but crawls around saying “dada” all day long! She also is finally enjoying baby food!

Wordless Wednesday: just some fun

just some iPhone pics of us from the past week!

Wake Up Sissy!

Because sisters make the best play gyms!

That’s what Sarah gets for falling sleep on the floor with a baby sister who clearly is not sleepy!

Our week in pics (week 31)

This past week Shelby cut tooth 3 and 4! I also noticed that she can go from laying down to sitting up on her own. She also now crawls on all fours!

The scary thing is she tries to pull her self up! Whew! She is one BUSY girl!! she loves to play and talk. I have been teaching her to give kisses.

I weighed Shelby this morning naked and got 17 lbs.

Sam and Sarah are busy playing outside with their friends and just having fun! Sam is enjoying being in Choir and Sarah is so excited about Girl Scouts.

We had parent teacher conference with Sarah’s teacher and Sarah is thriving!

We are enjoying some cooler weather finally!

Video of October so far and some videos!

 

 

Wordless Wednesday: Happy Fall

As we celebrate the fall and Shelby turning seven months old I can’t help but capture the moments in pictures!

our week in pics (week 30) – 7 Months Old!

Shelby is seven months old! Wow.. month six flew by! This week Shelby has started dancing!

All week we played and had fun visiting with family. Nothing fun and exciting, except Shelby changes every single day!

her “mmmm” (mama) is more and more often, and sometimes it sounds like she tries to say
hi”. I also taught her to knock on doors. so when she crawls up to doors she knocks on them. it’s funny.

Here is Shelby dancing

 

 

our week in pics (week 29)

oh man, tomorrow Shelby hits 31 weeks old! I a behind!

ok, so last week Shelby started getting up onto her knees and pulling up. She falls over very easily of course but she is so darn curious she has to know what’s going on with everyone. She puts everything in her mouth and loves water.

She also has started saying “mama” but it sounds like “mmmmmmm” and when she is REALLY mad or hungry.

She is not a fan of food at all and hardly eats any baby food.

We have officially outgrown all 0-3 month clothing, and a lot of 3-6 month stuff.

Samantha and Sarah had their first girl scout meeting! They had a blast. I also signed up as the assistant troop leader.

 

our week in pictures (week 28)

Last week we celebrated my birthday! We headed down to Galveston Island and went to Moody Gardens. We had so much fun!

Shelby loves to make noises and laugh at herself in the mirror.

 

Six Months Already?

Ok so technically Shelby is 6.5 months now, looking back how can it possibly have been six months already?

This past month Shelby has learned so many things, from crawling to giggling all the time. She has also started making tons of funny sounds and loves to laugh at herself or shriek at herself in the mirror.

We don’t have 6 month stats yet, but I weighed her yesterday (6.5 months) and I got 17 lbs. I think she is about 27 inches long.

We are still slowing introducing her to solids, she doesn’t have solids every day yet. She isn’t really interested in eating food yet. we are still breastfeeding and she also refuses to take a bottle. We have tried a few times and she just turns her head.

Shelby loves to sit and play with toys. Her favorite toys are those that light up and make sounds. She also loves to be entertained by people. talking to her, playing peek a boo and watching you clap or sing.

She can sit up by herself and this past week has learned to lean forward to get onto her stomach and crawl. She army crawls and can move quickly on her tummy. She is fascinated with cords and outlets… time to baby proof things!

 

 

Our Week in Pictures (week 27)

This past week nothing too interesting, we went on a drive with daddy and just enjoyed each day.

The girls have fun playing and are enjoying school. San=m made school choir and is excited for that.

Shelby is getting better at army crawling. I weighed her at home and got 17 pounds.

 

our week in pictures (week 26)

Last week flew by! Lets see, we had fun watching the first USC game at my brother’s house! All three girls dressed up for the game!

Shelby turned 6 months old, cut her 2nd tooth AND started army crawling!!!!

The girls spend the week playing outside riding bikes with the neighborhood kids!

Shelby army crawling on 9.3.12

Shelby’s 2nd tooth is coming in!

I can’t believe less than a month from tooth #1 is tooth #2! I noticed a slit in her gum on Sept. 4th and sure enough two days later you can see the tooth cutting through!

Our Week in Pictures (week 25)

This week the kids started school! They were so excited to start. Hubby and I decided the Sunday before school starting we would take them down to San Antonio and visit the Alamo and Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! We all had a wonderful last day of “summer vacation”.

Both girls LOVED their teachers, so I am excited to see how this school year gos.

On Shelby news she can sit on her own. On the 29th she started sitting for a few minutes at a time and every day since she sits longer. She doesn’t know how to get into the sitting position but she loves to sit and play.

3 months VS 6 months

oh my how she has changed!

Happy New School Kids!

My girls started school on Monday at a brand new school in a new state! I was very nervous for them. I know how scary it can be going to a new school and sitting in a classroom full of kids you don’t know and have no friends yet.

I couldn’t wait for 2:45 to come so I could pick them up and see how their day went.

Well both girls made friends, love their new teacher and Sam was beyond excited to tell me about her music class and how she wants to try out for choir next week!

The have music class, art class and PE twice a week (I believe). I am looking forward to back to school night next week to learn more!
