Four Months...

I just cannot believe it. My baby girl is already 4 months old. Where does time go?



It seems like just yesterday I was finding out I was pregnant.



And then not much after that, I found out that we were having a precious baby girl. I just could not believe it was a girl. There had not been one of those around here in a very long time!



Even though it seems like just yesterday, it also seems like she has been a part of our family all along.



She brings such joy to our lives. She already has quite the personality.



She's discovered her feet.



She is perfect in every way.



She is beautiful.



She is funny.



She makes me smile.



Her feet are scrumptious.



She loves her mommy.



Mommy loves her.



At four months old, she weighs 12.5 pounds.



She is 24" long.



She can roll from her back to her tummy, but not from her tummy to her back.



She HATES laying on her tummy.



She is a happy baby. Content with whatever is happening.



She is a very good baby.



For the most part, she sleeps all night.



She spends her days napping, eating, playing and swinging.



I think her brothers love her more each day.



She loves it when you talk to her. She loves to talk back.



She has long toes.



She has always been very alert, even from the moment she was born.



She has long fingers too.



She is my perfect pretty princess.



I love her and cannot imagine my life without her.

Bailey Bear comes for Easter weekend

Bailey Bear got to come back to our house this last week and weekend. "I" was student of the week for his birthday week and so Bailey got to be here for his birthday party too.

The first day Bailey came, we had a low key day and got baths and pj's on early to hang out and watch some tv.



On the day of "I's" birthday, we took Bailey to the school with us to have lunch with the kids. After lunch, we passed out treats for the birthday boy and his class. M&M cookie ice cream sandwiches! Yummy!



After school, we went to "I's" birthday party and an inflatable fun place. I think "I" and Bailey and all of the kids had a great time.



Bailey even went down the big slide all by himself!



Then they had birthday cake.



Bailey got to go with us to see the Easter Bunny too!



He even went to Church with us.



On Saturday, we went to dinner with family and friends to celebrate "I's" birthday again. Bailey had fun riding rides and playing games.



He played golf.



He learned all about Route 66!



He posed for more pictures!



Bailey is not shy at all! He LOVES to have his picture taken.



He was really tired after dinner and playing games, so we let him ride in the stroller with the pretty little princess. She liked looking at Bailey. She even played with his feet.



When we got home from dinner, Bailey helped the kids dye Easter eggs.



I think Bailey had a great time at our house this time too!

Happy Easter

Wow! What a whirlwind week and weekend! I have so much to catch up on but for tonight I am just going to post a few cute pictures of the kiddos.

I've wanted to set up to do these shots for a few weeks now but never got the chance to do them, so this morning right before we left for Easter lunch with family, we snapped a few. Of course the little princess was tired and hungry. I still think she is beautiful though.



The idea on the next few shots was to have her bottom half inside the big egg, but I think she has grown quite a bit since I found the big eggs.



We got her in the bottom half of the egg, but she kept kicking her feet and pushing it off. Silly girl.



By the time we hunted eggs and got her dressed, she had really already had enough. Her morning routine involves a 4 hour, sometimes longer, nap and this morning that did not get to happen.



We went to my in-laws today for lunch and more egg hunting. This little guy just loves to play in the dirt. I love this picture though, this is the exact reason I am not ready to cut his hair. He has beautiful curls and I LOVE THEM!



My beautiful girls.



My beautiful little Easter princess.



She is the sweetest baby ever.



So dainty and delicate.



He's all boy. Quite the bruiser and loves to get dirty.



Besides dogs, I would swear that dirt and rocks are his favorite things. Ever.



My sweet baby girl. She slept nearly the entire time we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Poor baby was worn out from all of our birthday/Easter excitement.



Our annual trip to see the Easter Bunny somehow got pushed back to the absolute last minute possible this year! We ended up going Saturday morning. There was quite a line but I am glad that we got there when we did. The line was getting longer and the bunny was scheduled to take a break at 1:00pm and at 11:30am there were people already lining up for when the bunny was to return at 2:00pm. Ugh, glad we got in before that!



The Pretty Princess and her very fist time to see the Easter Bunny.



The kiddos after church on Saturday. The wind was blowing like crazy!
