Just Hangin Around

sisterly love

Morgan loves her cereal

Kate showing the fish she made. This girl will never smile for the camera. She's so stubborn.


super bowl party at our house





cousin Pierce came to play while her mommy and daddy had a date night. I love that we can trade off for date nights except they get double the work with our 2.


Leland reading before bedtime. They both ended up sleeping together in the bed. We were shocked. It was so cute.

Kate has been loving her boots that G and Tassy bought her. And yes, she is still wearing Christmas pajamas in February.


This was one of those days it was nasty cold outside so we have our scrub clothes on and again the boots. I was letting her practice drinking out of a real cup. She thought it was so fun until I had to take it away because she would run with it and spill it. She looks like she's drinking coffee here.

BIG Girl

Well, I blogged recently about putting kate in her big girl bed for a nap last week for the first time and she did great....even fell asleep. That night we decided, let's just put her in there again and make it permanent. She has been such a champ! At night one of us will read to her and sing or pray and then we say goodnight and she goes to sleep within minutes. I snapped this picture of her tonight.


In the morning she stays in there playing and talking until one of us comes in to get her. It's awesome! I was so worried she'd be getting out of bed over and over again. We just made it clear from the beginning that she can't get out of bed until we come to get her. However, at naptime she has come out a few times.....but usually to tell me she pooped or she wants me to get something for her. Overall, it's been a success! yea Kate! We're so proud of you!




Morgan is 5 months

Morgan turned 5 months old January 29th. I can't believe she's almost half a year old! Time definitely flies when you have 2 kids. Morgan is such a good baby. She's pretty laid back. She usually only fusses when she's hungry or tired. She just started on rice cereal this week, but is not a fan of it yet. I think more if it comes out of her mouth than down into her tummy. She's a great sleeper. She's taking 2-3 naps a day and goes to bed around 8pm and has been sleeping until around 7:30am the last few days. I love it! Her and Kate usually wake up around the same time in the morning. She's so good at putting herself to sleep for naps.....which is so helpful since I'm dealing with kate so much. Morgan loves to watch her big sister and her doggy Sadie. I think they will all get along just fine! We are so in love with this sweet baby girl and cannot imagine our life without her now. It's amazing how children change your life!



I don't have a picture of Kate in her bed
