Whitney Anne {28 months}

For the past two years Whitney has kept me on my toes every.single.day. I'm always trying to anticipate her next move. She's so smart and innovative, I always have to keep an eye out for her so I don't find her scaling the kitchen cabinets (thankfully hasn't happened yet). I don't know if she is just getting to an easier age or if it's her sissy or what, but she is getting easier every day. I hate to say this but she was a struggle for a long time. She is just so strong willed and determined and it makes it hard sometimes to get her to listen to me. Those days when I feel like all I do is yell are very few and far between (thank the heavens).

The new change is making the days go by faster, so I've kind of shifted my mindset. I used to live for the weekends when dada is home, but anymore I just enjoy where we are because I know it wont last long. I look at Hailey and remember back to the days when Whitney was that age. It makes me sad to think how fast it went and that I will never get those times back. As much of a struggle as they were, I'd give anything to have those moments with her all over again.

Whitney has recently turned into a little girly girl, and I LOVE it. She loves dresses, shoes, jewelry, everything girly. She has a little bit of her mama's weirdness in her. She will go to her closet and pick out a dress to wear, if she doesn't like it she will try a different one on. Sometimes she goes through about 5 before she picks the right one. We understand each other when it comes to trying clothes on :).

This is pretty bad but Whit has really been into donuts lately. If I take her to the grocery store I usually get her one. The other day she had sugar frosting all over her hands and she was licking it off, turned to Hailey and shoved her fingers in Hailey's mouth before I could stop her. Hailey's eyes lit up haha.

We have been trying to transition her into a big girl bed...the struggle is real. I think a lot of it is our fault because we give in and put her in her crib. But the other night she was supposed to be in bed and Brandon caught her hitting her ball off her tee haha.

She sure is a bundle of fun. She can be a sassy pants but boy does she have a sweet side (and I cherish it).

She dressed herself haha.

She skipped her nap, then this happened at 5 p.m.

First camping trip with Uncle and Dada

She hates getting her picture taken and when we finally get her to smile she never looks at the camera!

Hailey Sue {4 months}

Four months! She's going to be walking before we know it. This past month has been a little crazy, we have done a lot of traveling for weddings back home. Hailey is such a "go with the flow" kind of baby. It makes it really nice for traveling. She still isn't the biggest fan of her carseat but she is getting better every time.

This last month in her development has been such a fun one, and it's only going to get better. The only bummer is she stopped sleeping through the night. It's been a little rough because sometimes she just wants to stay up even if it's at 1 a.m. She's still sweet as ever though.

One of my favorite things she started to do is chat ALL THE TIME. Sometimes she will latch on, then latch off and look at me and chat a little, then do it all over a few times until she decides if she is actually hungry or not. She chats in the stroller, in the ergo and even in her sleep haha.

She started to giggle
She weighs almost 16 pounds
She smiles at everyone (even strangers)
She found her feet
She is a chatter box
She is still only rolling from tummy to back with no intent of rolling from back to tummy haha
She has started to drool all the time
