Whitney Anne {27 months}

Miss Thang has been growing up too fast lately. She is basically potty trained. I'm still nervous to go out in public without a diaper, but at home she has it down. Hopefully someday soon I will get the courage up. I just moved her big girl bed into her room, so we are starting that transition as well. It makes me so sad to think she was once Hailey's age and I thought it would be an eternity until we were at these stages. But, they are here and I just need to embrace them and enjoy the new transitions.

She is such a little performer, we go to this park about once or twice a week and it has a stage that she climbs up on and sings and dances. Sometimes there is a puddle or two left from the sprinklers and she splashes through it. Sometimes she even puts her hands in it and runs the water through her hair...it's pretty sick but there is no reasoning with her.

When we get on her case about something she really wanted to do but we don't want her to do it, she started hitting her head and going "oh". It's so cute.

Every night before bed she has to give the baby kisses. If we forget she starts kissing the air frantically and saying "baby, baby".

This little girl has never been a fan of the nursery at church. Since the move we have found a church that we like pretty well. In the nursery, once Whit realized I was gone apparently she freaked out and started saying bye, bye and was kissing the door.

We went to see KaKa and Mimi this last month and Whitney had a blast. She was a pill for most of the trip but it was so fun to see them all together. She loves them so much, I just wish we lived closer.

She loves to play dress up

"Hold baby"

Can you see the excitement...she loves her cousins

Tired our after a long day with cousins. I know the buckle is low, she pushes it down.

She was getting another molar...poor thing

She loves painting, I only let her do it outside.

I let her Dada dress her to go to the pool, she looks like a little boy

Love sleeping pictures...they are just so precious when they sleep

Another nap in the car

Kissing her baby

The stage, she just got done running through the puddle (barefoot) and was about to break out in "Let it go"

Hailey Sue {3 months}

This little girl has been the easiest baby for us. She gives me baby fever because she is sooo sweet. If only you could guarantee you'd have another just like her. She is three months already, and I can't believe it. The time has literally flown by. She is starting to be so much fun. I love to tickle her and laugh and smile with her because she gets so excited and squeals so cutely (not sure that's a word).

Whitney always has to lay under the play mat with sissy

Watching big sis play at the park

The heat has been a little rough

First Fourth of July, not a great picture but oh well

Watching big sis play in her pool

She likes to hold a swaddle blanket when she's sleeping

She has started to suck on her hand
She is smiling like crazy
She can roll from tummy to back
She loves her big sister
She went to church for the first time and slept the whole time
She sleeps from 9-5 usually
She still wears 6 month clothes
She can almost laugh
She holds her hands together at her chest while she relaxes to go to sleep

Life Lately {just us girls}

I started this blog with the intention of it being more like a diary. Something I could look back on in years and be so thankful I documented all the wonderful days I spend with these little munchkins. But, I haven't been very good at it, so it's time I get better.

my church girls...Whit 2, Hailey 10 weeks

These two girls keep me very busy day in and day out. It's true when they say a mothers job is never done. Every day is a new adventure with them. Whitney is learning to potty train, we pretty much have it down, but I'm not brave enough to take her anywhere without a diaper on. Hailey is starting to stay awake a lot more during the day. I think she is trying to shift to two naps a day. When she's awake she likes watching big sis run and jump around her. Every now and then Whit will scare her if she jumps too close to her, or screams in her ear.  

10 weeks

I take Whit to the park almost every day. There are two parks in Prineville I switch between, and if I make a trip to Redmond I take her to one there. Hailey usually sleeps the whole time and I lug her around in her carseat, or if she's awake I carry her around and let her watch Whit climb everything imaginable. 

Lately they have been on the same nap schedule, so I get some serious mama time in the afternoon. I hate to say it, but I live for nap time...and of course the weekends. It's nice to have some time to myself during the day. I try to keep busy with projects for the house or etsy, but sometimes it's just a greys kinda day haha. I call it my social interaction time ;). 

I've been on this soy latte kick for a while now, and I just found out they do puppaccino's at starbucks. It's amazing, just a little cup of whipped cream for the toddler in the back seat. If we go to dutch brothers I usually get her a smoothie with whipped cream on the straw. It's so fun to see her face light up with excitement. I'm obsessed with that little lover bug, even if she sasses me all day long (at least I can't understand her right now).
