Evelyn is 2!

 

My tiny is 2! How did this happen?! I seriously feel like I was just at the hospital having my c-section, and now she’s a running, talking, silly toddler! I love watching her personality bloom, I have a feeling this year is going to be challenging, but also so much fun!

Clothing size: 2T or 24 months

Words: Just in the last two weeks Evy is finally talking a ton. She is saying 3-4 word sentences and picks up new words every day! My favorites are “chi-chen” for chicken, “uppy” for pick me up, and she calls our dog Gryffin “Grishen”

Favorite activities: playing in the playroom with her sisters, playing outside, baths, and watching “Mickey” 

Least favorite activities: long car rides and leaving playgrounds

Favorite toys: puzzles, books, play kitchen, her baby and stroller, and Little People

Signature moves: riding her scooter trike through the house at full speed, always wanting to let the dogs inside and be around them, letting her sisters dress her up and pretending to be their baby, lip syncing to songs but never actually singing, randomly doing the movements to ‘Itsy Bitsy Spider”

Love you to the moon and back, my Evers! I hope you have a Happy Birthday, and I know this year with you is going to be absolutely magical! I’m so honored to be your Mama!

This year Natalie’s personality has completely exploded, she is hilarious will all her one-liners, asks the best questions I’ve ever heard, and wears her heart on her sleeve. She loves her family and friends so hard, and she is always thinking of others. I feel so blessed to be her Mama every single day. I can’t believe she will start Kindergarten in just 6 months!

Natalie is my petite girl, but growing like crazy! She is in a size 9 shoe and wears 4/5 or 5T clothes! School has been amazing for growing her little brain this year, she goes 5 days a week, and just started going for full days this month. She loves napping at school and getting extra time to play with her friends. This year she has learned to write her name, and has full letter and number recognition. She is also starting to get the hang of the sounds letters make, and can tell you what letter words start with. 

When she’s home, Natalie spends most of her time playing with her sisters. They love to play dress up, house, and perform made-up dance routines. She’s also doing amazing in her tap and ballet class and seems to have quite a talent for it already! I couldn’t be more proud of my girl!

Happiest Birthday, my Natty! It’s going to be an amazing year for you, I can tell! I love you forever!

18 Months With Evelyn!

 

My littlest love is 18 months old, and I’m seriously trying to figure out how time is going by so fast! She’s suddenly so fun, so silly, and so mischievous and I am here for it! 😂

Favorite activities: playing in the playroom, playing outside, riding her stride trike, baths, and going bye bye (but not the car part)

Signature moves: Always stopping to dance to the “Bluey” theme song, picking up my phone and running with it, saying “unh uh” or “no” to most food she’s offered, crawling all over the back of the couch like a cat

We love you to the moon and stars sweet Evy! I can’t wait to see how much you change over the next 6 months before you turn 2! 💕

Baylee is 8!

 

I unintentionally had 5 months of radio silence over here on the blog, but you know I had to make a comeback to write the 8 year update for my Baylee! I still can’t believe we have entered “big kid” territory over here. Before I know it she will be a preteen, then a teen, and wow…I can’t handle it! 😅

I am so very proud of the young lady she is becoming! She’s passionate about her people and the things she loves, and puts her all in to everything that she sets her mind to. There is no doubt about it, this girl has one bright future ahead and I am so thankful that I get to be here to witness it!
