Play Time and Dinner!

Caroline and Reagan learning/trying to learn the importance of sharing!

Can't decide from the picture who the giver or taker is here....

Ryan uncomfortably holds pumpkin for a minute!:)))))

That's better....shoulders down....relax.....it's easy to hold a baby Zieby!

Gimme some cheerios Mac!

Baby is my FAVORITE thing to say...I love looking for and holding baby. Giving baby sippy is important too!!!

Mac's 30th birthday was Friday and we celebrated out on Friday and had them over for dinner on Saturday. Zieby can in town from Texas. It was like a mini AU reunion too. FUN MEMORIES and so much to look forward too--with the new addition of Caroline of course!

Aunt Wendy and the Kids!

Dave's Aunt Wendy and his first cousin Lori were in town to visit last week. Lori has three children Macy, Jarrett, and Davis. They are PRECIOUS and lil miss Caroline loved playing with them. After a day at the pool, and playing chase, and hide n seek, Lynn and Tom whipped up some delicious beef and TURKEY burgers. Seriously, delicious turkey burgers!! I will share the recipe soon.

St. Regis Please

I have blogged about this very fun place before but yet another fun night was had at this posh hotel. After a day of showering, shopping and dinner at Nava, we headed to the St. Regis for a few drinks. FUN TIMES!

Elizabeth's Shower

So, it had been quite a long time since all of my college sorority sisters reunited. And when I say all I mean all the ones I hung out with. But a couple of Saturday's ago, we were able to do just that while showering sweet Elizabeth with baby gifts for her first born Anna Kathryn. We LOVE Elizabeth and Jonathon. Fun sweet couple that I know will make great parents. Can't wait meet to Anna Ford!

As for the "sistas" and me, well we had a ball at the shower and dinner. Great hanging out and catching up after many of us living in different cities and even states. The more things change though the more they stay the same. I do know for sure I have changed over the past 8 years mainly maturing. I am definitely still myself....just approved I hope:)))))!

My Little Angel!

Memorial Day with the Fam!!

Let's get Summer Started!!!

Welcome to Parenthood!

Allison and Kent invited us over for dinner and a playdate last Saturday night. Little Reagan was so much fun. She is so full of energy...running and playing all over the house. Caroline enjoyed herself until we think lil Reagan might have pinched her. She BURST in to tears and was not easily consoled...primarily because she needed a nap. It was quite a funny experience for Allison and me being such good friends and being such new parents. These little playdate "episodes" are a first for the both of us and we know there will be MANY more. If any one else had been "accused" of pinching precious, I might have been upset, but who get upset with Allie and and that precious angel Reagan. And the next play date it will probably be Caroline biting!!! I told Allison it could be worse at least she didn't bite her!:) And we definitely know that from experience:)

In the High Chair AGAIN!

I understand some of you may think I do too many pics in the infamous high chair.....but they are my ABSOLUTE favorite because I am able to go back and look at how much she has GROWN!!!! And OMG.....seriously, lately I feel like she is just changing soooo much. Losing weight, growing taller, and looking more like a little precious angel toddler!!!!:)))))))) The first year is so AMAZING!!

Walking with a Purpose

So, I was running errands the other afternoon and noticed every middle schooler in town was at this little yogurt place called Yogli Mogli---After a twist of the arm, Dave and I took off on a wild pursuit to taste this rather POPULAR place. It really is an adorable little concept. I am not a HUGE fan of yogurt so I dont get the obsession (give me some Cold Stone Creamery) but anyway the concept is great. They have a million flavors and you can choose whatever you want and fix it yourself...like I said GREAT idea for those little people in your life known as kids!

ByeBye Bottles :(

Oh Mom, please don't make leave the play ground and ride in this car!

I'll just drink my milk in my sippy to comfort myself!!!!!!

It's official-precious angel from heaven had her last bottle two nights ago at 12.5 months. As most of you know, pediatricians recommend whole milk in a sippy at 12 months. The process was fairly easy for Caroline. Starting at about 11 months I started taking away a "feeding" here and there and instead offering the sippy. Her biggest adjustment was at 12 months when I took away her morning bottle. She did not want anything to drink and went a couple of days drinking VERY little. Then it literally seemed like overnight she started downing her sippy full of whole milk. I knew the time was right for our little evening ritual to change and so it has....no more bottle warming or formula. No more secured rocking sessions...and though, my little one is still little she is just a little closer to becoming a little girl!!! So SAD!! It seems like yesterday I was stressing about which ones to use and NOW she is not even taking one........why must they grow up SOOOOOOOO FAST?!!!!
