Fiesta Texas Christmas

What a fun night at Fiesta Texas! It was Charlie‘s first time riding on the big kid rides! She loved it and the boys had a blast! Big milestone bringing her in underwear and she had no accidents! Looking forward to going again soon!

Birthday Cake #2

Last night, Grandma and Grandpa D came over with cake and pizza for an early birthday celebration. The kids really enjoyed the food, especially the cake! I still can't believe she will be one in a week.

Smash cake pictures

Last night we all went to meet the photographer in the park to do Charlie's smash cake pictures. I can't believe it's already been a year. It was very hot outside and it was obvious that the princess didn't like it. She was throwing down the letters that spell the weird ONE and got a little fussy during the cake smash. I think the photographer got enough good pics to make up for it. Fingers crossed!

Crib tents- Illegal and wonderful!

About 5 months ago we decided to move the boys into toddler beds after many escapes from their cribs. Total nightmare. In the past 5 months we have had poop painting parties, blinds die and everything else ruined. I finally got my hands on a few crib tents yesterday and we converted the toddler beds back to cribs. The boys are 31 months old and just not mature enough to handle that amount of freedom. Last night was great and the witching hour today was AMAZING. They talked for a few minutes about princesses and poop and then fell asleep. I am also very thankful we decided to buy a video monitor last week! I can see everything to make sure all of my little ducks are safe and sound. This is my first day of having all 3 kids asleep at the same time (out of my arms). It's amazing what can be accomplished in just an hour of uninterrupted time. Oh happy day!

Robbie Nicole

This will be my third Christmas without my daughter. I still think of Robbie daily and wish I had her here. I see the boys talk to eachother, kiss and hug and it makes me wonder what a beautiful little girl in the middle would have been like. Having Charlie has lifted my heart and given me peace. This may be the first time in almost three years I am truly happy again. I miss you and love you Robbie. Thank you for saving my boys and bringing your sister to me.

Fruits and rice

Charlie tried bananas last night for the first time. She's been eating a little rice every night for about a month so we thought we would give her something yummy. She didn't like them! I will keep trying and Praying she takes to them. I can't imagine the reaction I will get when I try the greens.

Big day for Reese and Charlie!

 Today was an exciting day in our house! Reese got his new glasses and Charlie used a jumperoo and had rice cereal for the first time.
 Reese was very excited about his glasses but that was short lived. After about 10 minutes he started fighting us to keep them on. I'm hoping that's only temporary.
 Charlie tried out the jumperoo and her feet actually touched the floor. Such a big girl! She enjoyed it quite a bit. It was her first time really sitting in a toy. Later tonight we decided to try rice cereal. She actually opened her mouth to take bites and smiled while she ate. Charlie still wanted milk afterwards but seemed a little more happy. We will see how she feels tonight.
