Crimson: 7 Months & counting

. 26.5 in . 14lb 12.5oz .
48% in ht . 9% in wt
still wearing 3 month old clothes!!
{she literally is my little peanut}

. milestones .

crawling {yikes!}
eating solid food, so far cereal and applesauce
2 naps
12 hour night sleeps
poops once a day {cause I know you were wondering....yet I wonder why only one?}
first 2 little teeth
first fever 102 for 2 days ... it was a doozy!
likes yo gabba gabba {I know shocking}

{2 new teethies}

she is my skinny minnie
she could really care less about eating....she likes to look around....blow raspberries....look and laugh at Clover...then maybe take a bite...spit it out...smile like it's funny
meanwhile I'm frazzled trying to get her to eat so we can run out the door to get to church or to our dr. appointment today

{pulling up onto her knees to play}
she puts herself to sleep which is amazing
she used to play content by herself on the floor but now that she crawls, she just crawls after me all day crying/whining for me to pick her up....but in a cute way, if crying/whining can be cute

these two girls are so much fun and so much work all in one
our hair usually goes un-brushed
we stay in our pj's a lot
and our cleanliness is at an all time low
and I LOVE IT {today} :)

wonder what Clover is up to?

she knows her abc's
she can count to 10
she likes to sing and dance especially to Charlie Brown music
she tells me "bless you mommy" when I sneeze {and even when I don't}
she LOVES stickers and says them with a very exaggerated hispanic accent "steeeeecAaaRs"
she helps me put the dogs in their cage {the laundry room}
she HATES nap times and bed times ever since we got back from California in January
she is pretty much potty trained...just working on naptime/bedtime especially since we're have the above problem


and there's more but that's all I can think of!
thanks for stopping by!!!

Melts my Heart

this morning Clover came into the room with the baby's blankie, her Bible and a pencil
{mimicking me}
sits down
tries to put the blankie on her
opens up her Bible and starts taking notes {scribbles}
when I asked her what she was doing she said
"I read the Bible"

this encourages me to be in the Word
she is watching me!
and {for now} wants to be like me!!!
I need to take advantage of this time to
"train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it"
Proverbs 22:6


{taking a "leap of faith" with her bible
.....and my dirty windows in the background
pride aside kenzie, put your pride aside}

Best Friends 2.0


my absolute best friend from growing up, lives in Mississippi

Whitney

we grew up at church and at school together, although we only really remember each other probably starting in 8th grade and then didn't get really close till high school
but we're in all the same pictures, elementary school and on
and at the same birthday parties
she is the cheese to my macaroni
the peanut butter to my jelly
she laughs at my jokes
she sticks around regardless of how weird I get
we were in show choir together
we were in a band together, "No Parking" {we have an album fyi}
we can harmonize perfectly together when we sing
being super cool together
pretty much we're friends for life no matter the distance
since I've moved to Georgia, she is only a grand ol' 7 hours away
that's it?! you say?
that's it ... just 7 hours of driving in the middle of no where with a toddler who gets carsick and a nursing babe
but she's worth it :)
{actually it wasn't that bad...well the way home was, but not the drive there}

we both have two daughters the same age
{about 8 months apart}
and our babies are only 3 days apart
{that's how best friends do it!}
and we are determined that our kids will be best friends
even if it kills us!
they watched Little Mermaid together
they held hands
shared a bike
while Whit and I had some good times playing old songs from our band days
{don't mind my big ol' gums that are in your face!}
then we had a photo shoot


then we all hugged goodbye
ours was an awkward hug....just like old times
then Crimson made funny faces on the way home



Miss you Whit!!!! maybe one day we can live next door to each other like we always dreamed!
