6 Months already!!!!


We are sitting up, rolling over, laughing, eating rice cereal, peas, and sweet potatoes...yay! She has a ticklish spot on her neck and will laugh out loud when you tickle her. Shortly after the Miley Cyrus twerking at the MTV music awards Dax got his foam finger out and began making his sister giggle like no tomorrow. 

B and D now love Paw Patrol, Bubble Guppies, and Dora the Explorer. They love it so much and it has become a great bribing tool when necessary. Fighting with each other is still the norm so I have learned no matter what buy two even if it's a boy or girl toy who gives a damn. 
Blake started ballet at Massey's and Dax started gymnastics at Bart Conners. They both love their classes and will tell one another what they did in their class. At BCG it's a mommy and me and let me tell ya, it's hot. I get a work out myself chasing and playing but feel it's great bonding time. Ballet on the other hand is more of a relaxing time for all the mom's to hang out and chat. 

Ballet at Massey's Blake gets so excited each week for ballet. 

Dax hanging on the bars at gymnastics. He loves it way more than mama. The germ phobe in me has a hard time with everything including the dust flying in the air for the allergies. 

Paige now weighs 14 pounds 11 ounces in the 20%, length is 25 1/2 inches in the 28% and her head is now 16 inches in the 9%. She loves to grab things, roll over, sit up, and is a complete joy to be around. You can see her spirit in the following pics, she's just a free spirit who goes along with the flow. She loves her big sis and big brother. Dax is so kind and loving towards his little sister. He loves to hug and kiss on her. Blake likes to make her laugh by doing silly faces at her. She's not much of a lover on her sister but when she feels like it she will share her toys with her.

I say to myself Paige is the easiest baby ever! The time is flying by and I feel like the time went by slowly with B and D because they were so sick and always crying. I just didn't know what it was like to have it be easy. I do say that with a grain of salt because now that they are 2 and into everything; a whole new hard. Paige on the other hand is not a good night sleeper where they were cake. We finally got serious about the Sleep Solution book and she has gotten better but we are not 100% sleeping through the night just yet. 

Paige is working so hard at sitting up, rolling over, and loves to look around. We are about to start the rice cereal as it appears she is starting to show some interest in our food. 


Blake and Dax started their new school. They just love it and every morning at home when I ask what they would like to do they say go to school. Always a good sign. Illness of course has picked back up in our household since they are now in kid contact or germ contact. 

We took our 4 month shots with Angel so I had to try out my watermelon prior to the shoot. I think my little model was simply adorable. She loved the taste of watermelon too. 

First day of school at Trinity. They love their class and it amazes me each time I pick up and drop off. At pick up they put their books away without encouragement. 

Playing at the park is one of their favorite things to do as well as ride their cars, bikes, and play in the sandbox. 

I love to put my toes in my mouth

07/25/2013- 4 Months New

Four Months has flown by as does every month when you're the mom of 3 under 3. Paige aka Paigers, Paigaroni, Little P, & finally Sweet P is trying her hardest to sit up. On the changer table she insists on pulling that little head up and just can't stand it. Not only does she love to try to sit up she also loves to always be looking around and out so I hold her with her back on my body rather than the norm. She must at all times be looking out. My favorite time with my sweet little p is when she first wakes up in the morning. If you ask her how she slept she coos so loud and smiles and giggles at you. She is such a good baby and a sweet little soul. 

We have another petite one on our hands. At our 4 month apt she weighed 12lb 4oz putting her in the 11th percentile, length of 23in in the 4th percentile and head 153/4in in the 31st percentile. 

Big Brother Dax loves to give his baby sister; he kisses and says good morning to her. He loves her to pieces. Blake finally acknowledged her for the first time a few days ago. She wanted to give her a kiss.

We spent the last month going to the lake and the kids get so excited they can hardly stand it. On the 4th they loved the fireworks and would say "oh my goodness" with each one. We took them most recently to lake Eufaula. They rode Seadoos for the first time as well as a banana that was pulled behind the boat. After the kids were through riding the dads got their turn at it. Our driver was making sure they fell off. It was hillarious and probabally the funniest thing to see two grown men holding on for dear life on a gigantic banana or wiener if you will. At the end of the weekend I asked Blake and Dax what their favorite part of the weekend was and Dax said Joe and daddy fell off and Blake chimed in with daddy jumped off. 

We are always looking for something to do that does not put us outside on the really hot days so I decided to try something new. We made moon pies and let the kids decorate them. They loved their creations so much and were so excited to show off their art. Yes I'm actually getting braver and braver with things that cause a mess. 

Speaking of mess, all we do is cause a mess and I'm working really hard to not let it drive me insane. The kids also fight over whatever the other one has or will take it from the other one so there is a lot of screaming. My grey hairs are flying out of control and I swear I know why. 

3 months new 6-25-2013

Our baby girl is actually three months new. She is such a sweet little girl, full of patience, smiles, coos, and giggles. We are continuously working on her schedule and I have been really tired. Richard has moved back into our room after sleeping upstairs for the past 12 weeks. I must say I've missed him but at the same time it was kind of nice having the bed all to myself.

At the 2 month appointment Paige weighed in at 10lb 2oz and was 21 inches long. She is moving along in the curves but is still considered to be a small. 

Blake and Dax are becoming more and more interested in their sister. Dax will actually come up and give her a hug and kiss and most recently he wants to hold her. Blake on the other hand has no interest in her at all and quite frankly could care less that she exists.

I pulled them out of daycare and they are now home with me for the summer. It has been an adjustment and we have finally settled into our routine. The kids are adapting and doing really well. Their temperament has improved significantly and overall our household has become more pleasant. Of course there are really hard days but that's why we love our new nanny Ashleigh. She is great!!!

The kids now have their "super jackets" life jackets that they wear all the time. Hey if a life jacket gave you super powers you would wear yours too. With that being said they drive the boat and love the lake. Dax says randomly all the time that he wants to drive the boat and then goes looking for his life jacket.

We celebrated Mother's Day at the Mont and visited both grandmas. The kids gave mom a night away and we ended up using that night to celebrate our anniversary too. I started out really nervous but in the end it felt so good to sleep through the night. 

Mother's Day 2013

 Celebrating Memorial Day Weekend at Grand. Only shot I could get of all three together. 

 We experimented with finger paints which turned into body painting. I started out nervous as for what kind of mess we were going to get and then by the end I decided what the hell paint each other and I will get my camera out. They were so proud of their art work.
