3 Months!

I remember when E was a baby I thought the first 2-3 months went by sooo slowww!  Guess the more kids you have the faster time goes!
Anywhoo...our little Lydi-bug is 3 months!  And such a cutie!

According to our scale she's a little over 11 1/2 lbs...I think its all going to her thighs and cheeks!  Love them!
New this month?
-She is an intense mama's girl.  She "tolerates" Tyler for so long before she just wants me.  During Sacrament meeting we have his and hers kids! haha!
-She LOVES her big sister.  There are times where she just cries until you turn her to face E...then she just sits there happily watching her crazy big sister!
-She is sleeping longer at night...which is pretty nice...depending on the night.  She generally almost begs to go to bed around 5:30.  Then she will wake up between 2:30 and 4:00 in the morning to eat and then sleep until 6:30 or 7:00.  It is very nice!
-She is such a smiley baby.  She always has a smile for anyone who will smile at her.  So cute!
-She likes to "talk"

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

We hope this finds you happy and healthy!  What a wonderful time of year it is...to take time to sit back and reflect on the many many blessing the Lord has blessed us with.
This year I am grateful to have 2 turkeys...my silly babies that is...not the kind you eat.  (Although we had an AMAZING turkey this year!  I even impressed myself.  You'll have to try it sometime.  Here is the recipe.  Trust me...you'll thank me.)
Anyway...here are a few things I love about my two little turkeys.
Turkey #1:

 -She is always full of smiles and TONS of energy.
-She is learning new words everyday.  Her favorites right now are "welow" (yellow) "look!" and "wow!"  She will just stop mid-...whatever and point to something and say "wow" or "look."  Especially since we put up the Christmas tree...which she calls a flower by the way!

 -She is also HUGE daddy's girl.  I mean tears flow when Tyler leaves for work.  And lots of jumping and "yay"s happen when he comes home.  And then she clings -and I do mean clings- to him for at least 10 minutes after he gets home.

-She really starting to love her sister more and more.  She really loves to smother I mean give her sister hugs.

-I love her so much and am so grateful to be her mother. :)

-She also loves to dance...which I find absolutely hilarious!

Turkey #2

-Lucky for me she is a momma's girl.  Big one.  Tyler complains sometimes because he'll be holding her and she's fussy and upset then he hands her over to me and she shuts right up.  Can't lie, I love it...especially since E sometimes doesn't have much to do with me!

-She is also full of smiles.  Especially when she first wakes up.  It's my favorite time!

-She also loves to be held...ALL. THE. TIME. Most of the time I love it, sometimes its a hassle...like when I'm trying to cook dinner. :)
-She is also starting to "talk."  Which I find absolutely adorable.
-She is adorable and I feel so blessed to be her mom.

We just love our girls!

But most of all I am thankful for my wonderful husband (who hates his picture being taken) who works so hard for our family so I can stay home and be with the kids!
Happy Thanksgiving!

2 Months

Today L turned 2 months.  I remember E's first two months.  They seemed to last forever!  But with L, I swear I blinked and she's 2 months old!
We had her two month check up today.  The shots were SO sad!  I almost cried.  Poor girl was screaming and choking because she was crying so hard!  I hate that part.
On a good note, she weighs 11 lbs and 1 oz and is just shy of 22 inches long.
She loves her binky and being held.  She's also becoming a daddy's girl.  If I put her to sleep she stays awake.  If Tyler puts her to sleep she goes to sleep.  One of these days I will have a child that is a Mommy's girl/boy!
She also loves her sister!  She loves to just sit and watch E run back and forth.  And E is starting to love her sister.  She likes to hold her...for a little while and give her a million kisses and hugs a day.  Hopefully they'll be great friends when they grow up. :)

one of the many hugs received in the day

and just a fun little video...for grandma :)

Fall in the South

This summer was pretty rough.  Humidity sucks!  Especially when you are 7 and 8 months pregnant!  We were beginning to wonder what was so great about living in the South...and then the leaves changed.  OH. MY. HEAVENS. It is B-E-A-UTIFUL here!  Just driving to Wal-Mart takes your breath away.  But today we decided to drive up to Virginia and drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It was SO pretty.  These (bazillion) pictures don't even do it justice.  But here is a glimpse of the beautiful South.

The "mountains" of the South.  I was very happy to see them though.

I love the red!

My red bush! Bright red is probably my favorite fall color.  I made Tyler slow down so I could hurry and snap a picture.

Ignore the car.

Jealous now aren't you?
