Brynlee 2 months

This little girl is growing so fast. Time is just flying by. She is now almost 3 months old. Crazy! She is such a good baby. My happiest by far!! The past couple of weeks she has really started to smile and coo. It is sooo cute. It just melts my heart. She is so willing to give a smile. I have never had a baby that smiles just because you look at her. She loves to just sit and talk to you and is very responsive. At her 2 month check up her stats were:
Weight: 11lbs. 12 oz.   50%
Height: 23" long    50%
She is growing beautifully and is starting to get chunky. We love her to pieces and are so glad that she is ours. Couldn't imagine life without her!!

Lazy Saturday Morning

We love Saturdays. It is such a fun day to be together as a family. Last Saturday we didn't have much going on, so we were all just hanging out. The kids were all still in their pjs, Geoff was sitting on the ground playing with them, and I was reminded how lucky I am. In that thought, I decided to pull out the camera and capture some of these special moments of just being together...just being us.

Camden loves to help clean. He loves to grab the mop and broom and take them around the house. Sometimes he screams because he gets caught, other times I see him trying to sweep the floor.

 Playing with his car.

 I LOVE this picture. Just dad and his girls. They were mid conversation. I am pretty sure that by their faces, Geoff is teasing Macie, Addie is laughing because she thinks it's funny and Brynlee is starting to get fussy. (Notice Addie is sitting in the Bumbo...yes she fits into it, yes she thinks it is fun and funny, and yes...I also think that it is funny!)

 Just dad and his babies....seriously, it is like having twins.

 While playing with Camden in the kitchen I looked up and was able to capture this gem of a picture. LOVE.  I am one lucky girl to have a guy who loves his kids so much.

 While dad was wrestling the babies, us girls took the time to take a few pics together. So happy together!

 That is sooo funny!!!

 Stick out your tongues!!! I took this picture then turned the camera around really quick to see what it looked liked. I burst out laughing....Addie is my twin! So funny!

sisters

There are a few outfits that have been through all 3 girls. They are a few of my favorites and have withstood the test of time. I have a few favorite pictures of each of the older girls in these outfits- so with that in mind, whenever Brynlee has worn one of them, I have taken a picture of her in the same position as the other girls, so I could really see the differences. After seeing her compaired to the other girls in these pictures, I can

#1- See the awful fading of the clothes.

#2- See both Macie and Addie in her...it is really hard to say who she looks like.

#3- Tell that they are all sisters.

 Macie and Brynlee both at 2 months old, wearing a dress my mom gave us for Macie. I forgot how much hair Macie had as a baby. We thought that Brynlee had a lot, but Macie had a ton!

 Addie and Brynlee both at 2 1/2 months old wearing an outfit Aunt Heather gave us for Macie. I think in this picture that these girls look sooo much alike. It is like looking at a chubby Addie.

Here are all 3 girls in the dress. Macie and Brynlee are 2 months old and Addie is 3 months old. In this picture I think that she looks more like Macie.

Best Friends

Last week we were soooo lucky to have visitors from Cleveland!!! They were some of our best friends when we lived there and were the best neighbors ever!!! (actually our whole neighborhood was awesome!) Mary Pat and Tony flew in on Friday afternoon and left Sunday morning. It was a short trip, but so wonderful to see them again. We made sure to pack our time with them full of fun stuff. It was so fun to see Macie and Tony together again. We weren't quite sure how they would react or if they would know how to act around each other, but they picked up right where they left off not missing a beat. Mary Pat and I enjoyed one anothers company thoroughly and had fun catching up and holding babies. We cried when I picked her up from the airport and we cried when I dropped her off at the airport. Such good friends, who are greatly missed, but so wonderful to see them again!

 On Saturday, Geoff was so great and volunteered to stay home with the babies, so we could take the big kids out to do some fun things. We took them to the botanical gardens (totally not worth it in the middle of winter...didn't think about that one) But we had fun nonetheless.

 Then we took them to the water gardens in downtown Ft. Worth. That was fun. The kids had a blast running around and checking everything out.

 Tony originally had a bed on the floor next to the girls beds....when I went to check on them that night, this is how I found them. He and Macie in bed together.

On Saturday we went to a few stores to try and find some souvenirs for Mary Pat to take home to the rest of the family. We came across some really cute headbands and decided that we could make them ourselves. So that night we went to work and made a few. They were super easy and turned out super cute.

 All in all it was a fabulous visit, paired with a few super late nights (for us and the kids), and some wonderful memories. Thanks Mary Pat and Tony for coming to visit us! Can't wait until next time!

A little comparing

I have been wanting to get some pictures together of the kids as babies so we can compare and see who looks like who. Here are the results.

 The order is: Macie, Addie, Camden ,Brynlee. They are all within 2 weeks old in these pictures.

This is all of them around 2-3 weeks old.

And for fun I went ahead and made one of the older 3 at around 1 years old.

The month of January

This is the month of January according to my phone camera.

 Macie made a letter T out of Lego's for her uncle TyTy.

 Sweet little Brynlee fresh from the tub. What a perfect little thing.

 Addie. My little Diva. On our way to school with her show and tell, we got stopped by a train.

 Why hello, big eyes.

 It was a beautiful day in January so we were taking full advantage. Addie riding her bike.

 Macie playing in the dirt looking for bugs.

And Mary Pat and Tony came for a visit. It was WONDERFUL!! She is such a dear, sweet friend whom we miss very much.
