Father's Day

A Daddy truly is a Daughter's first love!  I couldn't ask for anyone better for my girls. They are so very blessed to have Luke! We spent a great day with him eating his favorite foods and enjoying family time. And a special Happy Father's day to my Dad too! I wouldn't have known how to pick a good man without such an amazing example that I have in my Dad. You'll always be my first love Dad! Happy Father's Day to my two favorite Dads on the earth, love you both!!

Spaghetti

We all love spaghetti at our house and Addy learned a few weeks ago that she does too! Sweet spaghetti memories!

"hmmm...spaghetti you say? I guess I'll give it a whirl"

 Her facial expressions crack me up most of the time!

 She's thinking, "I guess if you're going to sit there and stare at me with that camera I'll have to feed myself."  God love her, I may be feeding her lunch at Kindergarten one day;)

And big sis needed a pic with her "sketti" too

Sisters

Sisters both at 10 months. They seem SO different and then a lot of days I think Adalyn reminds me of Avery so much. They each have their own look but still favor each other. God is truly amazing the way he just makes adorable little humans, each so unique :) My heart just melts looking at my sweet babies.

10 Months

My sweet baby,

You're 10 months old now! Can't believe we are in the double digits already. Seems like a week ago I was rushing to the hospital to meet you. What a joy you are! Seriously the sweetest  little thing. You still are so laid back and go with the flow. You can nap whenever, or even skip your naps if needed, really amazes me. You are happy most all the time. You love to be held and will fuss if I ever do such a cruel thing as to leave you to play 5 feet away from me. Seems the only time you will chill alone in a room is to watch Praise Baby. Momma loves some Praise Baby! I think you may be a tad spoiled:) Playing with Avery is one of your most favorite things in the world. She is so sweet to you and lets you hold some of whatever she is playing with and you love to be a big girl and watch her. You love to be sang to, read to, and to be fed like a little bird. I started calling you my baby bird because you'd much rather be fed from my hand than to pick up the food yourself. Makes us laugh! Your favorite foods are sweet potatoes, bread and spaghetti. You seem to be a little picky about what you'll eat. You started clapping this month and it's so cute. You still sign for milk and started signing "all done" some too.  You are the definition of a cuddle bug; I love that. You sleep pretty well, still waking once to nurse. You have perfected the army crawl all over the house and can get to what you want pretty quickly. You get on your hands and knees and look around, so I know pretty soon you'll figure out how to go faster if you ever hang out on the floor long enough:) You can almost pull up to stand too. You love to giggle. Daddy and Avery make you giggle the loudest. One of the sweetest things that lights you up the most is when sister holds your hand while we walk. Walking into the store from the parking lot Avery loves to hold your hand. You will giggle and beam all the way in, so much so that people have commented. It's the sweetest, most simple joy. Makes me appreciate the small stuff. We love you so much little "Adawinnie" as your sister lovingly calls you. You make our family complete. Being a mommy to you makes me so happy. I love you to the moon and back!

Love, Momma

1st Ballet Recital

Avery had her fist ballet recital a couple of weeks ago. It was precious beyond words! Tiny ballerinas= adorable. We were so proud of her, she did so well. Sweet memories!

I worked hard to get her hair just how she wanted it:)

 She lots of "fans" come to cheer her on for her big day. It was so much fun. I love how happy and proud she looks in these pics.
