Few pictures

I wanted to share a few pictures for family...some of these are a month old but I figured I would upload them since I haven't had a chance to put newer ones on the computer!

We got back on Thursday from a fun week trip to Williamsburg, VA with Rachel, Brennan, Amanda Cizek, and Parker!  I was so good to see friends and to let the kids play!

Right now we are trying to enjoy our last 2 months in VA before heading to Georgia!  We are also trying to spend as much time with Josh as his work will allow before the girls and I move!

Both girls are doing great and growing like weeds!  Hopefully soon I can get on a regular blogging schedule since I will need some way of keep track of things and posting pictures for Josh to see!

 Adah finally has enough hair to put in a ponytail!  Here she is back in February with her first pony tail!

 Sisters in their matching flannel shirts!

 I love those three pictures of Adah playing with my headband after her bath one night!   She is such a funny girl!  I just love her!

 Sisters sharing a laugh!

 Cutie little M!

 Adah loves to try on her hats!  The second picture is my favorite...any baseball cap she calls her Gpa hat!  I guess my dad wears a hat too much and now she thinks all baseball hats are Gpa hats!  haha!

The girls first bath together!

Adah you are 22 Months!

My little sweet potatah!  You turned 22 months on the 12!  I can not believe in 2 short months you will turn 2 and move to your 4th state!  You are such a big girl!  Mommy and daddy love you so very much!  I can not think of anything that you can't say!  You are a talking machine and you repeat everything!  You communicate with us 100%!  You are learning so much and it is so exciting to see what new things you know each day!  You are able to count to 11 on your own and 14 with assistance!  You LOVE the number 14 or some reason!  You can also count to 10 in spanish!  Daddy is trying to teach you more spanish but you do know how to say jump in spanish and what it means!  You have started to associate the word scared with the feeling!  If we come in your room or startle you in any way you say in a shaky voice "mommy/daddy scareee"!  You also get scared of dark screens in movies or shows and of large stuffed animals!  YOu love to listen noises and say "mommy hear that?" and then tell me what it was!  Right now you are obsessed with motorcycles!  You made daddy go outside A LOT yesterday just to look for a motorcycle!  You are becoming such a picky eater just like your daddy!  Your hair is finally getting long and full!  You actually wore it in a full ponytail for the first time this past month!  YOu love to tell us that you love us and we can't get enough of that!  When we ask you what your name is you will say "Adah Mae" and point to yourself!

There are so many other things you know and do but that is just a few!  We can't wait to watch you grow and learn more!  We are so excited about your birthday and getting to have a party in Texas with all your family!

Adah Mae we love you to the moon and back!  Muah!

Happy 2 months Michaela!

Sweet little m&m!  I can't believe you are 2 months!  Sometimes I feel like you should be so much older but at the same time I can't believe that you are 2 months!  You have changed so much over the past month and we still think you look just like your daddy!  Here are a few things you are up to today:

-you sleep 5-7 hour stretches
-great napper
-GREAT sleeper all around...the problem is getting you to sleep
-still pretty fussy in the evenings
-we started you on zantac for your reflux and you don't get fussy after spitting up anymore
-you are SUPER gassy and are SO hard to get to burp
-you are really strong and LOVE to stand and are SO good with holding your head up
-you only like to be held in an up right position....usually facing out with your back pressed against our chest and us patting your stomach
-you LOVE to smile and do it quite often
-you are not a big eater and will only nurse on one side per feeding but you don't prefer one side over the other
-you love to watch your sister...you two love each other and I can't wait to see you play together
-you WILL NOT take a bottle or paci for ANYTHING!!!!
-you are an excellent self soother most of the time if you are put down awake and happy!

You are changing so much everyday!  You continue to exhaust me with your extreme fussiness and uncontrollable crying but I couldn't imagine my life without you and wouldn't have it any other way!  Michaela, you are mommy and daddy's little angel and we absolutely love you to death!

Can't wait to see what you weigh and how tall you are at your appointment tomorrow!  Not so much excited about you getting your first round of shots!

Parks...Pinning....Playing!

It has been so beautiful here the past week!  We have loved getting out and enjoying the weather and outdoors!  Since Josh was on shift work for so long and didn't have a day off for over 2 months he finally gets 3 days off!  It is only the first day and I must say all 3 of his girls are LOVING having him home!  We are so glad that the weather is so nice today because we were able to go and play at the park all morning with friends and Adah LOVED having daddy to run around with!

Yesterday was a special day as well, because Josh got promoted and pinned Lieutenant Commander!  We are so proud of him and all his does not only for us but for our Country!  Congrats Josh!  We love you!

This next week is going to be super exciting because my pal Val is coming to visit tomorrow and staying for the week!  I could not be more excited to see her and have her meet Michaela!  I know Adah is excited too....she loves her auntie Val!

Here are a few pictures from this past week:

I definitely think that Michaela will be our little tomboy....but maybe she won't....but she sure does HATE bows/headbands/hats/etc!

I may be a little biased but I think she is just the prettiest little baby girl in the world!  Her super cute onesie was made by my friend Becca!  She made the girls matching shirts...this one and then a submarine one!  They are SO cute!

 Adah loves to go out on our patio....here she is in her shirt that matches Michaela!

 I wanted to post a pic of these butterflies for my dad.....I finally got them painted and hung up on Adah's wall and she LOVES them!

 Here the girls are dressed in their matching Submarine shirts that Becca made...they wore them to go see daddy get pinned!  (Becca is starting and Etsy shop soon so I will be posting a link to her shop as soon as it is up and running!)

 Here are a few pictures from the park this morning!  Adah FINALLY decided that she liked swinging and isn't scared!  Up until today she has never wanted to swing and anytime we tried to put her in she would shake and cry!  Today she went up to the swing and asked her daddy to put her in....when she got in and he pushed her she kept saying "WEEE!"

 Josh getting pinned!
