Whitney Anne {29 months}

My little loverbug! I still can't believe she's almost 2 1/2 years old. Right when I think we are getting to a great place with her, things change. And it's not that it's a bad thing, it's just tough sometimes. Although, all things are tough when they are making you a better person. I truly believe Whitney makes us better people. She has taught me to be more patient, more understanding and more loving.

Whitney is becoming such a little girl. She's so interested in all things that make little girls, little girls. She loves dresses, jewelry, MomMom's (that's what she calls me) make-up and playing dress up. I don't remember ever being like that, I was definitely more of a Tomboy. She LOVES to shop, when we go to Target I usually let her get out of the cart and walk around the toy aisle, as well as the clothes aisle. Her face lights up and she gets so excited to touch everything and play with it, and then she'll throw it in the cart. Thankfully she doesn't care when I put it back. One day she put five of the same dress in the cart.

She also loves the park (the parrr). We usually go everyday, sometimes twice a day. She also LOVES helicopters and airplanes. She has an ear and and eye for them. She will most often spot or hear one before I do.

She's starting to entertain herself for small periods of time. Which is an absolute blessing because Hailey is getting to the point where she gets really distracted while eating or sleeping when there are other things going on.

As sassy as that little girl can be, she also has a really sweet side that I try and focus on. Brandon and I recently upgraded our phones. The other morning he left for work, and she noticed his old phone on the table. Her eyes got huge and she said "Uhh Dada" in a frantic. So she grabbed his phone and we ran out before he left and she gave it to him, and kissed him on the cheek. It was her intent to take care of him, like she was his mother. It was so darn cute.

he loves me, he loves me not

She is such a little mama sometimes. The other night Brandon was sleeping on the couch and Whit went back to her room got her little seahorse night light and her blanket and came out and tucked him in. So precious. She does the same to her sister...but it's usually toys in her face.

Hailey Sue {5 months}

Miss Hailey is 5 months! These two girls of ours are so different and they make us so happy in different ways. More on Whitters later :).

Hailey is my happy place. She has the ability to take all my frustrations away. One flash of that heart melting smile and I am swoon. I pick that little girl up in the morning and she gives me such a huge smile with her tongue out, I get a little whiff of her smell and I'm instantly love drunk. I am so thankful for this little girl she has really blessed us with light and joy. 

Everyone loves babies, and everyone at the grocery store always goes crazy for little babies. Every time I take her, she gives strangers the biggest smile and it melts their hearts too. A couple of times (it's happened to both Brandon and I more than once) she will smile at someone and they instantly yell to their co-worker or significant other "hey, so and so you gotta come over here, she is so precious". She's a little ham for sure. Whitney on the other hand, she would get attention but not the same way. That little girl could give a scowl like none other haha. I still get a kick out of people's reactions when they would say hi to her when she was a baby. Complete opposites but they are both so amazing.  

Hailey finally rolled from back to belly. I think she just realized that it's what I wanted her to do, because I'm pretty sure she would have hung out on her back for the first year of her life. She is still very interested in our food, sometimes it makes it hard to eat anything with her on my lap.

We got the okay at her 4 month appt to start giving her solids. I hesitated at first because I didn't start with Whit until 6 months. We have started to give her quite a few different foods now though. I started with squash...not a big fan. But most everything else I have given her she LOVES, and I'm pretty sure she would eat all day if I didn't stop her.

Oh goodness I love her!
