Wizard of Oz

Watching a movie while Mike is gone, since he's not particularly fond of and we love it!

Champion's Club

This morning both kids had a little awards assembly. It was for the first six weeks of school. You can see on Lyric's certificate what the criteria was. The " yes ma'am no ma'am" 90% of the time cracked me up. I had no idea they had to do that to all adults at the school!

Lunch Date

Lunch date with daddy and mommy at Blue Sky. Yummy hamburger place. She's not thrilled to be here because they don't have chips. 

The Wood Store (Home Depot)

And I really do have more than one kid. The other two just happen to be gone most of our day!

Selfies

I often will literally find hundreds of these on my phone. 

Stick figures

In order of appearance- Bernice, grandma, mommy, Kylee and Peypey

Mommy and Kyky

We get lots of dates while the other two are at school!

Like daddy

Christmas?

Little Cook

Bubblefest

Fun at the Science Spectrum Museum!

Three Years Later...

I'm going to attempt to start this up again. Carly gave me the good idea to even just post pictures. That sounds low key enough for me. And I have no excuse if I can do it right from my phone!! 

I got to watch Kylee's dance on Monday. These pictures won't always be the best since it's from my phone.

yet all I have for him is a fenced in box!

Five Months of Progression

1 Month


2 Months

3 Months


4 Months




5 Months

Today Kylee turns five months. I know everyone says it, but I really cannot grasp how fast time has flown by. I commend myself for soaking up every minute, of every single day. I have watched this sweet baby grow, and grow, and GROW some more! Every month, I have put her in this blue chair and taken her picture. It's fun to see how she's grown!
Kylee has such a sweet spirit about her. She smiles with her whole body, and it's quite infectious!

-She typically does a twelve hour stretch at night, waking up once to eat
-Naps are hardly existent for her, if she does an hour, I am utterly shocked
-Rolls belly to back, but not back to belly, yet
-Still only on momma's milk, I'm in no rush to start solids :)
-Likes to be put in her bed to fall asleep on her own
-Has no problem taking a bottle of pumped milk when I'm not around
-Has a huge need to suck, so she likes her binky
-Drools an abnormal amount, teeth coming soon?

I'm not sure about her height and weight at this point, we haven't gone in for shots yet. Before I can blink, she'll be sitting, then crawling, then walking! Lyric and Paxton adore their baby sister. They are so sweet and gentle with her. Lyric is very helpful and Paxton loves to share with her.
