Mother Nature's Farm

David has the most awesome rotation as he only has to work 2/3 days per week (4 hour days!).  We get to see a lot of daddy and all three of us girls are beyond pleased.   On a whim we decided to take the girls to a farm near by for some October festivities.   So fun!

I need to start listening better

So a couple days ago Liliana was drinking some water and it "went down the tube".  This made her start coughing and then she sneezed out this small bead and said "look my its my sparkle". 

Flash back the past two days...  Liliana: tells me "mom there is a sparkle in my nose" Me: "that's cool Lili (thinking its a glitter or sticker)".  She mentioned it a couple times to both me and David and we both blew it off.  Definitely need to start listening better!

My Great Grandpa

This may sound weird, but up until someone posted this picture on Facebook... I had never seen a picture of my Father's Grandpa.  I do not even know his name.  I  have some research to do.  Pretty neat though!

The Cool Stuff We Do!

Just a post to capture some of our daily lives.

The weather just turned (finally!) and we enjoy wagon rides

She captured a trunk diaper change

No cavities!

And I quote "She was the best 3 year old we have EVER seen"  

Even little sister behaved

Addy's 6 Month post (Give or take a month)

 My sweet chubby baby is now 7 months old. I stole these first two pictures off my friend's blog. She is better and capturing my kids than I am.   Thank you Heather.  These pics show her DELICIOUS thighs!  

 Addelyn is such a happy baby.  When we are out and about her chub gets noticed by strangers and then she knocks them out with that smile.  In the middle of the night she can't help but smile at me after I finish nursing her.  This sure makes waking up at 3 a.m. for night feedings a little easier. She cries only when hungry or tired.  I am really enjoying her and find that she is growing up way to fast.

 Addy and her sister have a blast together.  It's nice to finally be at an age where they can start having a little bit of interaction.  The other day Lili was popping up and saying "Boo!" to her and both were laughing hysterically.  It was all fun and games till Liliana decided  to bite Addy's pinky (left it purple).  Who knows why she did, but Addy was very offended.  It warms my heart to see them play together however, it's the extreme opposite emotion when they don't.  Liliana went to bed without a book and she hasn't attempted it again since.  Today when Addy was crying she came and gave her a stuffed animal and rubbed her head.  So sweet!

Addy has also started solids.  My mom let me borrow her Vitamix to make her food.  It's a breeze and makes me feel like a good mama!  Yes she eats that whole bowl in one sitting (gotta keep up those thighs!)

 

 Here she is with Jack.  He just turned 100 years old and is our oldest friend.  Addy made his day with her killer smile.  He lives back in Peoria, but we got a chance to go back and visit.  Jack is incredible, I mean how many 100 year olds do you know that still play golf!?

She is crawling!  Well if you can call it that, let's just say she is mobile.  It's more of a inch worm type movement with big lunges forward.  This girl talent.



Last but not least here are her stats.  I'm including Lili's because she went in as well for her 3 year old check up.

Addelyn
Height 26.5 - 75th Percentile
Weight 19.7 - 95th Percentile
Head 44- 90th Percentile

Liliana
Height 41 - 95th Percentile
Weight 40 - 95th Percentile

Finally

Since Addy was born Liliana has asked me to put her next to her in the cart at Costco or Sams.  I always had to say you have to wait until she is a little bit older.  This day I did not have to say that and you can see how happy they both were.
