SO BIG!


Can you believe how big this little girl is getting?!! I can't. I can't believe that she will be eight months in a mere nine days!


She is so adorable when she gets up on all fours. Today she stood up with her hands on the floor! I don't know about all these new tricks she is showing off with.


Did I mention that she also can pull herself up onto things? She is not completely stead on this toy, but she loves it! 


What a beautiful little girl!! I am in love!

Daddy Reads


Have I mentioned how awesome my husband is?! He is such a great dad. He puts the kids to bed most nights by himself. I am usually nursing Makenzie every night during bed time. The kids love daddy reading stories to them. Jaron has been busy with getting things organized for his business, but he has still found time to play with the kids and help around the house. Thanks Jaron!

Yummy Yum Yums

Makenzie loves to eat! Just not peas. I tried feeding her peas the other day, she would have nothing to do with it!



I mixed sweet potatoes with apples, this is how she was!


She LOVES eating! 


YUMMY YUM YUMS!!!

Fishing at Lake Selmac

This was our second year going fishing at Lake Selmac at Selma, OR. We had so much fun! We went out earlier this year so it was a bit chilly.





 


We set up camp at the perfect spot!

Daddy getting the fishing poles ready. 

Makenzie did great! Slept most of the time. 

Lilian's first fish!
 
 
 

Connor's first fish! He was SO excited. 

I will miss the ease of taking Makenzie around in the car seat! I fear what next year will be like...

She's Moving!!!

Makenzie started getting on all four's about two weeks ago. Right before Memorial Day weekend. It was  so cute watching her get up on her knees and rock back and forth. About five days ago, Makenzie started figuring out that she can lunge herself forward once she is in the crawling position. She also figured out how to do the army crawl. She is able to move around quite well. She moves in a circle, rolls and scoots around. It is so fun to watch her get around. She is also great at going from a sitting position into a crawling position.

About a week ago, Makenzie started sucking on my little finger quite well. I figured I would give the pacifier another try. She has been unable to suck it since we brought her home from the hospital. Crazy enough she took right to the pacifier and sucked it for quite a while. Jaron and I were shocked. Lilian was excited, Connor wanted to take it right out of her mouth. She takes it now at night time. When I get her in the mornings, she will be sucking on it. She does great at putting it in her mouth all by herself. I am glad she takes one. It is always nice to put something in there mouth when they need comforting. It is just a pain to break them from it. Connor turned into a monster when we took his away...

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Last week I asked Connor what he wanted to be when he grows up. He said a "firefighter!!" I said, "well what do firefighters do?" He said, "make fires!!"   I responded, "Oh Connor, they put out fires."  "O, well I want to be a model then." "Well Connor, what do models do?" "I don't know, tell me!" I love our little conversations. So cute!
