2.5

Johnny is two and a half.

he is the best little boy. 

he is happy, spunky, silly, loud, sweet, obedient, smart, clever, and so much more.

he also has a defiant streak. not a bad one but he definatly challenges us when he doesn't want to do something we ask or if he wants something a certain way. hopefully we, as parents, can help channel that passion he has in a good way and not completely ruin him. we are trying..

but he loves playing with other kids, loves his little sister, and dinos, disneyland, pirates, nursery, cars, and airplanes. he loves o sing. sings allll the time. i love it!

Millie at 6 months

Our Millie girl is 6 months old. 

1/2 a year!!!

i don't know how this happens so fast.

Millie is such a sweet baby, very easy. and still pukes like no body business.

i have tried my best to keep her a newborn as long as possible. lots of swaddle time, always holding her. not pushing her to reach her milestones as much as i did johnny. 

(poor johnny and oldest children in general. we always want them to do everything so quickly)

and i have come to learn that she will reach them anyways on her own and right on time. but at the same time she's still just my little baby. she rolls all over the place and just a few days ago i sat her up on her own and she was all about it. now she will sit for 30-40 minutes just playing by herself and loves the independence. 

she absolutely loves johnny, and is his greatest audience. 

she's all about puffs, dosent like baby food or rice cereal. but will chew a pizza crust like a pro.

no teeth yet. has a pretty good sleep schedule still.

Halloween and goodbye

Last week the kids and i spent the week in NP with kerry, austin and Cedar because they moved to Spain...yes MOVED to SPAIN. so i had to get my time in before the left.

we spent a little bit of time each day with them and it was so fun.

im bummed we didn't get a picture together before they left but oh well. 

ill admit i got pretty sad when we said goodbye, and almost cried but there were lots of people around so i held it together. 

ill miss you kerry, but ill see you soon!

 Cedar loved millie, and i was adorable.

 on halloween morning johnny and i made a Mr Potato head pirate pumpkin and he loved it!

 cute kids

 my parent had the whole NP gang over and had soup and the kids went to a few houses, not a lot of people answered their doors but it was still fun

 after it was all over and everyone left.
