For This Child I Prayed: February 2017

14/15 Months!

These past few months have been really, really busy, so I am going to combine 14 and 15 months! Your vocabulary has exploded and I LOVE to see your little personality come out! You can say bubble, pop, bye bye, amen, dada, apple, baba (banana), up, love you, Adeline, mama (when you are mad), all done, Clemson (of course daddy taught you that) and probably a few more I cannot think of right now. You do a great job imitating whatever we tell you to say. You are walking/running EVERYWHERE now! You still LOVE to wear things around your head. You prefer a onesie and wear it like a scarf. You have your own style. You will put on any headband nearby and only like to wear one sock in the house. Your favorite book is "The peas say please" and love to dance. I just got through pumping and nursing your this week and your transitioned fine...it was me that had trouble lol. I just will miss holding you so close to me and nursing, but you are ready and I got you through flu season. We still have lots of bags in the freezer that will last probably until March/April. You still like your milk warm or room temperature though. You are an amazing eater. You eat yogurt for breakfast most of the time, turkey/veggie for lunch and whatever we have for supper. You love avocados! You tried peanut butter for the first time and did well with it! You love to play with makeup and pretend to put it on like mama. We love you so much and you are definitely still a mama's girl and want to be wherever I am (which I totally love : ) ). You are so smart like your brother and follow lots of 1 step directions. You are wearing size 18 months and size 4 diapers still with shoe size of 4. You still just have your paci at night and during naps..we may start weaning that soon though.

Just watching tv in your new chair.

You are definitely a little sunshine in our lives : ).

Being silly with your favorite person. You are both lost without each other. It will be sad when Lucas starts school this year and you are apart.

Looking cute : )

Matching with Adeline.

You finally got enough hair for a little ponytail, so of course I took advantage of it!

You with your own little style! A necklace for a headband

Playing with the dollhouse at the library

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

Sadie, you are soo loved! Happy 15 months baby girl!

Snow Day 2017

I normally do not get excited for snow until I see it, but for some reason this year, I got my hopes up. We did get some, just not a lot, but Sadie and Lucas had the best time anyway!

You both looked soo cute in your snow gear!

Ashley and Adeline came to visit!

Sadie playing in the snow

Lucas could not wait to make a snow angel!

Of course we had to jump on our new trampoline!

Hopefully, next year, we will get more snow to play in and I can stay home from work! This year, it snowed on a Saturday and was gone by Monday, so no "snow days."

Random Family Fun and Circus Pics

This year was the last year Barnum and Baily would have circus, so of course we had to go! It was a fun trip!

Lucas trying on his clown nose!

Getting your pics made in front of the circus trailer! We had to wait outside for 30 minutes because we got there early and it was cold!!

Fun Tuesday morning at the library! We love to go there!

Lucas' favorite is the magnets!

Reading the Roomba instruction manual : )!

Just chillen at Grandmas lol

Playing dress up at home

You both are so funny! It is so much fun being your mama!

Friday family fun night. We were all in our Clemson gear after winning the National Championship!!

You love puzzles, and were able to do most of this one yourself!

Reading your new Thomas the train book with your new flashlight!

Wearing your Thomas gear during a day out with Daddy.

Just having fun in the bathtub!

Doctor Lucas

Skating by yourself at Breanna's birthday party!

Christmas 2017

Celebrating the birth of our Savior is always a special day. Thankful for another year to celebrate with family and friends. It was a lot of fun this year because you and Sadie were actually excited about you presents and really enjoyed it.

Our annual matching family Christmas pajamas!They were so cute this year. They said "Papa bear, mama bear, brother bear, and sister bear." I loved the way they turned out!

All of the grandkids with grandma and grandpa!

Church annual Christmas pic

Sadie got her first American girl doll and she loved it. Grandma refurbished my old baby doll cradle and it turned out soo good. Sadie's favorite thing was trying to put the headband on the baby doll.

Giving baby kisses

It is hard to believe, but Lucas wanted a Roomba vacuum soo badly and he got one! To say that he was excited is an understatement. Since Christmas, we have had to read the manual to you and watch Roomba demonstration videos. You can clean it better than I can. It is pretty hilarious. A bonus is you like to keep the house clean because you want to run the Roomba so it is a win/win for me!
