Julia 5 Months Old

I can hardly make those words come out of my mouth! Five months old?!

Man, do we love this girl! She is the BEST little thing! She is always smiling and happy!

And she totally tolerates everything her sister does to her! While I was cooking E decided that Julia was cold and pulled out every blanket from the closet to cover her. Ha!

Julia smiles and laughs. Reaches, holds and chews on her toys (or anything she can get her hands on!) and loves snuggling her silky blankie. She loves her big sister. She watches her every move and smiles all over when she talks, sings, plays with her.  She gobbles down bowls of baby oatmeal and is filling out some 9 MONTH jammies! 

We love, love, love you big girl!! ❤️

Preschool for Elizabeth

This picture pretty much sums up Elizabeth's feelings towards the first day of preschool. She was nervous, anxious, scared, excited. There were lots of tears (from both of us!) but she went. Not willingly. And after a very long, guilt filled four hours, I rushed back to get her...

Here is the big girl waiting for me to pick her up!

She was all smiles and talked and talked and TALKED about her day! What a relief!!

Here is day 2! She loves it and is so excited to get up and ready on preschool days! 

Way to go brave girl!! We love you so!

I love that my girls can already play together! I didn't expect it to happen until Julia was older but they both interact with each other and it makes us all so happy!

Hiking with my girls

My baby thumb sucker.

We asked Elizabeth what color she wanted to paint her room and without hesitation she chose pink! (It's only on one wall for those of you who think we've lost our minds!)

A rare nap with Daddy.

Maybe we have lost our minds????
