Bath Time

My little ones had their first brother/sister bath on June 24th. I think they really enjoyed each other’s company. It was an extra long bath that night too!

Riley was so sweet & kept giving Averly toys to play with.

And he washed his little sister. Precious.

Party Planning

I have been so busy I haven't had much time to blog lately. I've been occupied planning Riley's birthday party & the poor little guy got sick yesterday. It was a rough night last night. He had 105 temperature & was just lifeless. He was so pitiful. And I was so scared. We got the fever down to around 102 after a cool bath & the 3rd round Motrin/Tylenol, but it was a very scary, restless night. I took him first thing to the doctor this morning & it ended up being Strep. He acts like he's feeling much better today & the fever has been contained to a semi-normal temperature. I'm so very glad about that! So now back to planning since my baby is doing better...I can't wait to see how this party comes together! Here's a sneak peak at the theme.

Happy Monday!

Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to two of the best men I know-my dad & my husband. You are both wonderful fathers & I am so thankful for both of you. Dad, you’ve always loved unconditionally & showed me right from wrong. You gave me guidance, but let me experience things on my own. I’m so blessed to have you to hold my hand, even still, and will forever be grateful. I love you! TAG, I couldn’t ask for a better dad for our children. Their eyes light up every day when you walk in the door from work. I love seeing you play, read or nap with them. I know they love their Dada & are very thankful for you as well. I love you!

The Story of the Jump-A-Roo

Another “first” for Averly was on Tuesday, June 15th. It was her 1st time in the Jump-A-Roo.

Picture 008

She didn’t seem to have much of an opinion about it. She just let her little feet drag the ground & looked around like “Ok, what’s next?”

Picture 011Picture 006

Then Riley showed her how it’s done.

Picture 009

He coached her a little.

Picture 018

Even offered to let his “Bep Beps” jump with her.

Picture 015

But she still didn’t care too much.

Picture 016

Just chilled.

Picture 010

And hug out with Dada.

Picture 026Picture 021

And sucked on the seat. That was much more fun.

Picture 017

But she is still cute as ever.

Picture 013

The End.

Laughing Out Loud

This precious little girl laughed out loud for the first time on Thursday, June 10th thanks to her big brother. Riley was blowing raspberries on her belly & she got so tickled that she laughed! It was the sweetest sound ever. I wish I caught it on video, but I know there will be plenty more to come. Although, I have only been able to get her to do it twice since then.

I love her so much!
