8 months!

Our chunky baby girl is 8 months old already!

She doesn't have exact stats..just estimations:

Weight: {guessed to be} 19 lbs

Height: {guessed to be} 27 inches

She's ALWAYS smiling! Ask anyone!

She loves to play with Brynlee. 

She loves being outside. 

She loves her doggies. 

She loves loves loves when her daddy walks in the door. 

She still isn't crawling, but you can tell she wants to very badly! She gets up and down from her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. Even moves her hands but can't get the movement with her feet. 

She gets where she wants, rollie pollie!

She has 6 teeth! 2 on the bottom that she's had for a while now. 

4 on top, that decided to come all at once, so you can't see them in a smile just yet, but soon!

She loves her food. {could you tell?!}

Only thing I have found she isn't fond of is peas. She will eat them, but way slow compared to sweet potatoes or carrots. 

She loves her fruit. ANY kind. 

She is a very good finger food eater already. 

Took her only a few days to master picking up puffs or cheerios. 

Love my chunky monkey!

Ah summer days....

After naps..we went out front to play in the sprinkler.
I totally forgot about this sprinkler I got onsale last year. B wasn't too enthused about it last year...

so today we tried it again.

 I have a feeling she'll love it come next summer!

 She didn't like it on high, jiggling about, but was fine with it low where she could point the water where she pleased.

 Best part, drinking from it!

Good day with my girls.

Here are the 6 month pictures I've taken so far. I have a few more in mind I'd like to do, we'll see if they will be done  before she's 9 months! 

This first one is of her cheesy new grin. Showing off her teefers and round cheeks!

This one, previously posted, is by far my favorite!

 Above, she wouldn't look at me cause she kept playing with the ribbons on her capri's!

 Love that ruffle bottom!

Time really does fly...

~Half a Year~

{I really don't like how blogger makes the pics all messed up!}

So...

There she is. 

My chubby, smiley and super happy 6 month old. 

Can you believe it?! Some days I can, some days I can't!

I took quite a few pics today, hopefully I'll get to loading them someday...but with a 6m old and a 2 year old...time isn't what I have a lot of. 

Anywho.

Stats: 

17.8 lbs {on June 18}

*Updated*

18.6 lbs {on July 10}

26 3/4 inches 

Two bottom teeth. 

She sits up. 

Rolls over, but only from belly to back. She hates her belly. 

Just started eating solids this week. 

She is liking them more each day. She's only had cereal mixed with apples & banana's. 

She LOVES her big sister!

Was sleeping through the night, but then stopped, and got a cold where she couldn't breath through her nose, therefore she wasn't eating much so when she did wake, I fed her so she had something. 

Closer and closer to sleeping all night again. I can't wait!

Loves to go swimming and be in the bathtub. 

Pays so much attention when Daddy walks in the door, I don't matter anymore, haha.

Started out being a difficult baby, especially compared to B...she was cake...but now she is a rather happy baby. I'm not going completely insane anymore, so thats a plus!

5 year Anniversary Cruise.

Nick and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon & we chose to do it again for this years 5 year celebration! Oh it was so much fun. My mom drove over to watch the girls while we were gone. We drove down to Ft. Lauderdale the night before and spent the night and then the next day jumped aboard our floating home for the next 8 days. 

(not sure why this pic is messed up like this!)

(blogger is acting up, messing up my pics)

We went snorkeling in Grand Turk.

La Romona DR. SO beautiful.

Aruba we just explored beaches and shops.

Curacao we just shopped!

Love him!

& 3 months old!

Look at this little chunker! She cracks me up. 

By my scale, she weighs just at 14 pounds. I didn't try to measure her! Haha. 

B was only 12 lbs at 3 months, but was shorter. 

She is getting her personality. She LOVES to be talked to and will talk back and smile with those cheeks of hers! She wiggles all the time. My mom bets she'll be crawling to keep up with her sister by the end of summer! AH!

She still looks like Nick I think, but is getting her own look too. 

I've finally been able to get her to 'like' her belly...a little. 

I think she knows her mommy...and poses for the cam!

{not sure why those lines are in both the above and below pictures}

 Oh and this one too, boo!

There she is. She is becoming less needy...like she was at first. She will play under her mat for a while now...not in the evenings...we have a grumpy baby in the evening. Brynlee loves her and she smiles everytime B starts to talk to her. I hope they continue to like each other, at least most the time! 

Oh and another thing, her eyes are blue! We really didn't expect that at all! Not as blue as B's but for sure not brown. Nick was hoping for two blue eyed girls....at least for now, lol. 

The big 2!

I can't believe I have a 2 year old! It really seems like yesterday that she was in my belly but then I think about it and it seems as if she's always been a part of our family...longer then 2 yrs and 9 months that is. 

Her stats:

24 pounds {10%}

33 3/4 inches {50%}

She talks so much now. Some things understandable, others only I can figure out what she's saying! 

It'll be fun when Aspenn starts talking and then they will have their own little language and I will never know what they are talking about! Ha.

Here are some pictures I took of her for her 2 yr shoot. I LOVE the dress up ones!

 ^my fave.

I have some more in her Birthday outfit but I'm not posting those just yet. Her party is tomorrow, I'm pretty excited. I hope it goes smoothly and she has a blast!

Mini Vacation!

Sea World Orlando

There was a few of our friends going to Sea World that casually invited us. We thought about it and then decided to jump on that wagon! Especially with the whole Military getting in for free deal they have. We figured we'd use it! 

We had a blast. We left Saturday EARLY morning. Arrived in Orlando at about 7:30a. Spend the entire day at the park. Then stayed with some friends in their huge suite Saturday night. {we originally planned to drive back that night, I am very glad we decided against that!} It was a very long day! 

Sunday we stopped at Downtown Disney to just walk around and such. It got me wanting to go to Disney World pretty badly! Hehe. 

*warning, picture overload* 

{also, everytime I upload to Blogger, the pics have those lines through them, just look through them}

Beginning of our day. The girls in their St. Patty's Day attire. 

B posing. She called that Eel thing an alligator.

She liked viewing the fish and sharks!

However she didn't like taking a picture with the shark jaw...I'm a mean mom, lol. I love this picture. 

Sweet Aspenn. She was a trooper all day!

Daddy and Aspenn. 

Me and B with the dolphin. I'm not sure if she has a name or not..

I did it! I hate fish, but I touched the ray! Nick was oh so proud he had to take a picture documenting it!

She was all smiles, but this is the end of the ride, so maybe thats why she looked angry. 

Our Family

Watching Shamu.

I believe it was naptime. During the Sea Lion show, she grabbed fluff and laid on the ground.

I had to throw a picture of the whales. They were so neat to watch. Brynlee just kept yelling FISH. 

I have tons more pictures..whats new. The girls did great. I can't wait to take them to Disney in a few years!
