Holidays & My Jokester Bubba

Halloween was fun! We decorated, carved pumpkins, and trick or treated with cousin Liam and the whole gang. Of course getting candy from the sweet neighbors is always fun :). Our sweet little neighbor gave a special treat for Hudson. She's the sweetest neighbor ever.

The next weekend we decorated for Christmas (hehe). I'm not skipping Thanksgiving but time is going so fast I need to drag this out. I want to soak it all in before I wonder where it went.

My bubba cracks me up these days! Such a jokester. He put this snowman headband on his belly and told me he was having twins. Another day he had me put this bandana on and he ran downstairs, opened the fridge and before I could ask what he was doing he brought the milk up. He told me he was the milk bandit. It's an episode of Sheriff Callie. My creative silly boy.

At Grace's 4 month appointment we had to go in early and I had to wake up my bubba to go to it. Later that night he said "hey mommy, tomorrow…don't wake me up early."

After watching a cartoon on TV about a magician he tells me, "Mommy, I wish daddy could make me a real wand to make things disappear. Poof, sissy is in her room."

This one makes me laugh big time. While he's going to the potty and I'm on the couch he yells to me, "Mommy, do you have giblets?"
Me:  No baby.
Bubba: Well everyone has giblets.
Me: Not girls honey.
Bubba: Grace is a boy.
Me: No, she doesn't have giblets.
Bubba:  No but her eyes are blue.
LOL every boy that Hudson sees often has blue eyes and every girl has brown. Therefore sissy must be a boy.

Bubba:  Mommy, is it Thursday or Saturday?
Me:  Nope, it's Friday.
Bubba:  Good cause I work on those days.

Watching The Flintstones one day.
Bubba:  Mommy, are we watching what's in my tummy? (Flinstone vitamins)
Me:  Yep
Bubba:  Are they alive in there?

One night going to bed after horsing around with daddy he says, "Bye daddy, I need my beauty nap."

5 Month Old Stubborn Crawler (Almost)

My sweet beautiful princess is 5 months old. Can someone seriously slow down time? Where is all the time going? My little girl is growing way too fast.

She's not crawling yet but the moment you lay her down on her back she has to roll onto her belly and she gets so angry because no matter how much she squirms she barely moves forward. She is trying SO hard. She's stubborn (just like her momma). I tell her (like she can understand me ha) "Grace, you can't go anywhere yet baby." Boy does she get mad. She wants to move so bad. I seriously think she's trying to keep up with her brother. She picks up that precious tushy and flops a little forward. I have no doubts she'll be crawling soon. Grace also LOVES the jumper. You put her in there and say, "Jump sissy jump" and she gets to kicking those legs.

This month this sweet angel still LOVES to laugh at her brother. He always knows how to put a smile on her face. Grace also loves to grab everything and put it to her mouth. I seriously think she would drink out of my cup if she could get ahold of it herself. She's also teething big time too. She has 2 new teeth that she got before Halloween! I knew they were coming! Her two front bottom teeth. They are SO CUTE! Two little chompers. They are sharp too! Watch out..hehe. 

She is learning all kinds of things from her brother…like how to not slow down (haha), how to be loud…she's a screamer. It's funny. She probably knows she has to scream to get a word in hehe. She also loves to be included in all of our activities. She sits at the table in the high chair and bubba and mommy do arts & crafts. Eats baby food while we eat dinner. I love that we all get to have dinner together. Our little home is complete. She wasn't too crazy about green beans or plain cereal but she likes butternut squash, bananas and pears.  She's learning how to push the food to the back of her mouth. I may have also given her a taste of gumbo…ok..I did and she loved it. Of course :).

Sleeping…oh so I jinxed myself last month (jk not really) but she goes to bed around 8:30 PM and sometimes stays asleep all night. Other nights she moves those little legs and I know to go get a bottle ready. I feed her as she stays asleep and she goes right back to deep sleep. Most days she wakes up at 6:30 AM. Momma. Is. Tired. LOL. I know I know I'm lucky :). She's a great sleeper. I've been lucky since day one.

My princess amazes me with her beauty. Pictures don't even do her justice (even though her pictures are beautiful too). I'm so in love with my angel. How in the world did I get so lucky to have not 1 but 2 beautiful children?

It's so easy to make this angel smile. I love being silly to her. She just smiles and laughs at her mama making any silly face. Makes my heart feel like it's going to explode. She squirms and giggles when you tickle her. Grace loves to hear her daddy's voice and always looks for her brother. We are so in love with you angel baby Grace. Happy 5 months!
