Happy 4th Birthday, Turner!

Turner's 4th birthday was spent waking up to a new movie, Cars2, which he and Carter watched immediately with a quick break in the middle for homemade cinnamon rolls!  Later in the day, Nana and Papa arrived and took us all out to dinner at Las Margaritas (Turner's pick!), he enjoyed his food but was OVER THE MOON excited about his free birthday dessert the manager (Luis) brought him!  Of course, he was still ready for cake and ice cream once we got home!  I not sure anyone could appreciate having two desserts more than this kid!


Excited about his new movie, Cars2!

ELEVEN months

Look out world, here comes Greichaly.

Not walking yet, she is beginning to let go and try a few steps here and there. Needless to say, my job has gotten a lot harder in the past few weeks as she is getting more and more adventurous around the house.  The stairs, the bathroom, the Christmas tree, the fireplace, the kitchen cupboards, etc. are all so much more exciting than any of those silly toys and even sometimes more exciting than her big brothers' toys.  

Such bittersweet moments as I watch my sweet baby turn into a little girl.  Trying to cherish every one.  What a blessing it is to be called her momma.






At eleven months, our sweet girl:
  • Can walk behind the walker with ease and beginning to let go and try to take a few steps.
  • Naps are pretty inconsistent in length, but she is still taking two on most days.  I'm beginning to wonder if she'll be ready to switch to only one soon!
  • Nights are hit and miss lately, but for the most part she is doing well.
  • Tooth count is up to 5 with a few more almost through!
  • Quickly overcame her separation anxiety and isn't so clingy to Momma (unless she's tired or hungry).
  • Babbling lots and lots!  Says Momma, Dadda, No, and I'm not sure how to write them but has words for both Carter & Turner!
  • Also signs more and all-done when eating. 

Happy Eleven Months, Greichaly!

Siblings @ 10 months

 I last compared the kiddos here, using their two month pictures. 
Now, here they are at ten months.  
Greichaly continues to look like a beautiful blend of her big brothers.






And some face shots, just for fun!




the proud momma,

TEN months

Greichaly Mae at TEN months
October 29, 2011






 


At ten months, our sweet girl is:
  • Crawling and climbing everywhere, getting into everything!
  • Standing on her own in short spurts and walking behind the walker.
  • Sleep has gone wonky... several crazy nights lately :P as well as some bright and early mornings following the time change.  ((keep reminding myself of the past 9 months of blessed nights!!))
  • Has 4 teeth!
  • Loves watching her big brothers and tolerating their "lovin'" pretty well.
  • Is continuing to try new foods and getting the hang of her sippy cup.
  • Underwent allergy testing for food allergies and tested negative to all!!
  • Babbling lots and lots!  Not too many identifiable words yet.

Love my lil' G!
