What's New

I keep not blogging because I have SO many pictures to go through and I can never pick just one to post!  So here is my attempt at snagging a few to show what we've been up to...

Little Miss Lena is 9 months old!  (this is her lovely 9mo pic:) 

She is a SUPER fun baby!!  I wish I could freeze time right now because she is just soooooo fun.

So far she scoots everywhere and pretty fast too...not crawling yet but gets up on all fours ready to and then decides it's easier to just scoot:)  She smiles at everyone and everything and is always happy. She LOVES playing with her sisters and loves to explore.  She such a little spit fire and really has a feisty personality...she'll let you know what she's thinkin'!  At her 9 mon check-up she was 14 lbs and 1 oz so she a tiny thing but LOVES to eat so go figure!  She pretty much eats anything I give her except peas - for the moment...I'm working on that one:) 

All-in-all - she's a keeper!

 Little Miss Piper turned 5 in April and we got to celebrate ALL week long!  It was pretty fun!  On her actual B-day we celebrated with cake and balloons and lunch to McDonalds and she got to open family presents.  She woke up that morning all mature and so proud that she was finally 5!  It was cute but I was worried a little that she thought she was TOO big and wouldn't like her present, Snow White dress up, but she came around:)  Then on Saturday we had a SMURF party at the park!  She loved it and LOVED having all the attention for once:)  Just before (maybe 2 weeks before) she turned 5, Piper learned to ride a bike without training wheels!  She's a pro now!  It's pretty cute to see her whizzning around on it.  She just beams whenever a neighbor sees her riding and loves when they make a big deal out of it.  She's the biggest helper ever and loves to teach Bailey new things.  She is such a good big sister!  Piper loves to pretend play and usually pretends she's a mom.  She'll make a good one some day.  Every day we've been working on a little "school" activity and after naps Piper and I have been working on reading and she's starting to get it!! HOORAY!  I'm so proud! and she is too:)

Bailey is seriously the funniest, cutest, and happiest little munchkin!  She ALWAYS makes me smile.  About the same time Piper learned to ride without training wheels, Bailey learned to pedal her tricycle!  She is soooooo happy to be able to ride with Piper now.  This day we were out playing and Bailey found a snail...I saw her riding along and talking to someone saying "it's ok, it's ok."  I asked who she was talking to and she said her snail!  If you look really close to the picture there is a TINY snail on the back step of her tricycle.  She said she was taking him for a ride! haha!!

She hit a bump and the little guy went flying:( Here she is looking for him in the grass.  She probably looked for 5 minutes seriously concerned for the little guy.  Luckily I was able to talk her into him probably going home to eat lunch with his mommy.

So I guess that's what we're up to here in the great state of Texas!
