being ourselves.

things we like to do:

1. be silly.
2. be cuddly.
3. do things as a family.

so thats what this post is about haha

i caught the girls being lovey the other day and then i tossed miller in there. reese scooted over and then my life was pretty much made. sigh.



then i caught reese being a nut (lol look at miller's face!)


on friday night, we went to the balloon festival in plano. we have been a few times and i swear the kids didnt stop talking about last year's until we went to THIS year's. it was so much fun.

fwiw, a lot of these in the storyboards are SOOC.

on our way!! (no, aidan does not sit there ;) we stopped at the store for snacks and she hopped in the back)


yahoo!!!

highlights of the night ---

1. aidan dancing like a kook.
2. reese OD'ing on muffins.
3. sawyer's amazement of the balloons.
4. being asked if A and S were twins a few times.
5. miller's sweet face.

miller is 7 months.

ok she was last week, but i didnt get around to posting this. but now i am ;)


what a awesome baby, i have. i mean, she's happy and loves to laugh.


her favorite past times are bouncing her in jumperoo (funny: i hollered at A and S to "stop bouncing her!!!" bc she was going so hard/high. they laughed, backed up. and BAM - miller was going nutso all by herself lol oops)


stats:
height: 25.5" (23%)
weight: 12lbs 10oz (< 1%)
head: 16.5" (20%)


now i'll tell you a bit about her weight ;) yeah, she's tiny. she does everything on time - her milestones are on point, she's happy, healthy, eats well, has good diapers, but just... small. so for the next month, we are to give her some formula after i BF her. and put flax seed oil in that (and then also her gym bottle). THEN with her food (she's all table food), mix coconut oil into that! bam!

now, we all think she's way bigger than she has been :) so i am not too worried. i love my tiny little bug!

as for the rest - like i said up there ^^^ still BFing and of course, she's obsessed lol her newest "trick" is now spitting (raspberry-ing) my boob when she's done. haha


sleep sort of sucks. but not too bad. she goes to bed at, like, 7. maybe earlier. then she's good until about 1am. which would be fiiiiine if i went to bed at a decent hour. but i dont. i stay up and read ;) then she sometimes wakes at 4am and then i keep her in my bed until i have to go get aidan up for kindy. then i drop miller down, get A ready and send her to school with EJ. then S comes down, i feed her and finish morning duties, get R and M, and then feed them :) so it works out nicely.


miller just loves life. and im soaking up every moment :) this is the first time that ive actually LOVED the baby age. ive always said that i am a "toddler mom", but i think thats bc i am always so ready and excited for them to move to the next stage... sitting up, walking, talking... but with miller, im just like "nooo dont do thatttt!!!" i just want to keep her little forever haha


anyway. more pics. for your miller (de)lite. <--- see what i did there? hardy har.


see ya later cutie pie :)
 

reese's first day of school. ever.

eeeek!! oh sweet girl.

we packed up her lay-lee (blanket) and headed off to preschool last thursday. she goes 2 days a week.

she seemed hyped that morning lol



oh wait this stuff is heavy!!


then it was off to school. when we got there...(disclaimer: sawyer had already tried to get her out - hence the shizzy carseat chest clip lol)


"c'mon guys!!" and can i just add that i hate these shoes. but i dont have much of a choice anymore ;) she's such a diva lately.


the teacher said she cried for a while at first. and then was fine. i expected her to fall asleep at, oh, 11am? lol but alas, when i got there, she was just staring into space. im gonna make sure they give her a little drink to go to sleep with tomorrow.

another little baby off to preschool. love you, reesey.
