As I sit here typing this, I am still unbelieving that today Jillian is 4 months old! Time has flown by so fast! Christmas is rapidly approaching, and before I know it, she’ll be crawling and walking and talking!
Today was a fun day at home. We got her all dressed up and took pictures in [...]

Jayna LOVES to play “dress up.” This year, her Aunt Angela gave her a trunk full of her old dance costumes for Jayna to have and play with. Boy! WHAT A GIFT!
This happens to be my favorite outfit she had on. When she put another outfit on, I asked her if I could take her [...]

Today, Jayna decided it was time to go “big potty.” So, I told her, “Ok, go remove your pants and sit on the potty. Let me know when you’re done.” Not even 15 seconds later, she yelled she had “poo-poo’d.” So, I went in to clean her up.
When she got up [...]

JILLIAN IS A GENIUS!
Tonight she decided at her dinnertime that it was high time to start doing things for herself.
Well…LA-TI-DA!! Little Miss is holding her own bottle…and wouldn’t give it back!!
What a girl!!
Enjoy the pics!

mmm….rice cereal….yummy!!

“This is MY bottle. You can’t have it!”

Man, when she’s ready to do something, she’s R E A D Y!
Today, I was on the phone with our landlord discussing some things that we’ll be working on here at the house when I heard Jayna tell me she had to go potty. She ran off before I could tell her I’d help out.
When [...]

You know, as a parent, it’s easy for us to get caught up in our own lives that we don’t capture those “kodak moments” often enough. We tend to put our children on the backburner and keep saying, “Just a minute…Mommy will be there in a minute” when in a minute, that moment is gone.
Well [...]

This morning as we were getting ready to run our errands, I put the T.V. on Barney so that I could get ready and have Jayna be engrossed with Barney and not get into things. As I was putting on my shoes, I was whistling the song Barney and the kids were singing and heard [...]

All I gotta say is, SHE’S A GENIUS!
Tonight as I was holding Jillian and winding her down for the night, she reached out and touched my face and just held her hand on my cheek for the longest time…time enough for Dave to go find the camera, take pictures and video! A LONG time!!
While she [...]

After a long 10 days, we FINALLY got out! I had a make-up delivery so we ate dinner, loaded up the minivan and headed to Arlington! Then, we came back to Grand Prairie and went to Wal-Mart to get a few necessities and visit the holiday section to see what ornaments we wanted [...]

Today we made our weekly visit to the doctor. Why? Two-fold actually…1) to see how the RSV was going…was it getting better or worse, 2) why is she having a hard time nursing?
The answer to #2 was a gassy tummy. She had a build-up of gas in her stomach and her thrashing [...]
