6 months with Kristen & Adelyn

wow. We have reached a big milestone -- celebrating 6 months with Kristen and Adelyn! It doesn't seem like it should be time for them to eat solid foods, or roll over, or even sit up on their own. These itty bitty 6 lb girls have grown! (with so much personality and character too!) I think Kristen and Adelyn changed the most between their 5th month and 6th month birthday. I'm amazed at how much they learned in these past 30 days -- and I cant even imagine what the next 30 days, or even the next 6 months are going to be like!

All About Kristen:

• She thinks Mommy and Daddy are silly! She laughs at us all the time, especially when we blow on her neck or tummy, or when we play peek-a-boo. I LOVE her little giggles! :)
• She loves to talk! and I love to talk to her.
• She has a greater awareness of Adelyn now. She will watch her, talk to her, and grab her hands or feet.
• She is starting to sit up on her own with little assistance from Mommy. Not much longer till she will be doing it on her own!
• She is budding her first tooth! (and with that, there has been a lot of drool and fuss!)
• Kristen gives the sweetest open mouth kisses -- they are wet and slobbery. but still the sweetest!
• She started eating rice cereal this week. and she gets it all over her mouth, face, bib. everywhere!
• Kristen weighs 15 lbs, 3 oz and 24 1/2 inches long. a perfectly healthy and growing girl!

All About Adelyn:

• Adelyn is starting to sit up on her own with little assistance from Mommy. Not much longer till she will be doing it on her own!
• She is such a Daddy's girl. It's so sweet to see her love on him.
• She has a greater awareness of Kristen now. She will watch her, talk to her, or grab her hair. Adelyn LOVES to pull on Kristen's hair.
• She is chewing on her fingers a lot. Maybe a tooth is coming in soon?
• She started eating rice cereal this week. and she loves it! She gets it all over her mouth, face, bib. everywhere!
• Adelyn weighs 15 lbs, 12 oz and 24 3/4 inches long. a perfectly healthy and growing girl!

Fall Nesting

I LOVE Fall!

It's my most favorite season of the year. why? because I love the warmth that you can create in your home as the temperature outside gets colder. the colors. the leaves. the pumpkins. the scents. heavenly. (and for my husband, it's football.)

Here at my house, Fall starts the day after Labor Day... at least inside it does. Outside, it's still in the 90s!

But as I pull out my Hazelnut scented candle and gather the pecans that are falling from the tree in my front yard, I can't help but get settled in for fall and refocus on my family as the busyness of summer ends. It's the warmth of family gathering and the simplicity of life. I love Fall!
