New Look!

Emma has a new look. I think she looks 12! When I told her that, she gave me 2 thumbs up. This nice little (expensive) piece of metal is going to push a tooth forward that is stuck slightly behind another tooth. She is really starting to look older to me. Speaking of older. She is at camp this week. I am ready to give her a good squeeze. This is the first time she has been away from home for more than a night. She doesn't like to be away to much. Everytime I have talke to her she has been so happy and giggly. I can't wait to see her on Saturday. She is such a sweet child and I hope and pray that the sweet heart she has will stay with her forever!!

9 Months!

Sara Beth is already 9 months old. She had a check up and weighed in at 17 lbs 10 ozs. She is crawling all over the place. She has discovered that she can pull up on everything! She is eating everything in site, and is growing like a weed.

She got a swing to go on our swing set and is in LOVE!! She gets so happy and swings her feet. She actually laughed out loud when we first pushed her in it.

She is generally a happy girl. She has her moments, like when she sees food but isn't getting it, but all in all is a good little girl!! We are so blessed to have her in our family. She keeps us busy and laughing!!!

Bathtime

This is a shot of me taking a bath in my Memaw's sink (a long time ago).
So when we were at Nanny's a few weeks back. I had to get a couple of shots of Sara Beth doing the same thing. The sink is perfect for giving a little one a bath!! You will also see NO resemblance between her and I. Looks like I had nothing to do with it!!

Crazy!

This is a picture of Emma's 4th birthday. Be still my heart!! Isn't she the cutest? That isn't what I think is so crazy. Beside her is Leah, she had just turned 1. Can you see the resemblance in her and Sara Beth. It is unbelievable how much these two look a like (and scream a like!!). I just though it was interesting when looking at this picture. Thought you might find it interesting too.

Strawberries!

It's that time again!! A few weeks ago we went strawberry picking. We HAVE to do this every year. Emma LOVES strawberries! In fact, once she starts picking, she can't stop! She has a hard time letting them stay on the bush. It's the "just one more" mentality. She just can't stop herself! Here are a few shots of the girls and picking. Mama didn't get to pick any, Sara Beth's stroller didn't fit in between the rows. She had to be carried!!

Sweet girl in the strawberry patch.

One with Nanny and all the loot!!

Enjoying the fruits of their labor!

I look at these pictures and am reminded how blessed I am! I love these kids so much it is scary.

Toothless Grin!

I love it, love it, love it!! I think she is super cute with that big hole in her smile. She was tickled pink when she saw her new smile. I must admit, I was too. Cutie!!! The one beside it is also loose. I told her to work on that other one, because kids that are missing their front two teeth are super duper cute! Oh, my Leah is growing so fast! Her legs are getting longer by the day. I didn't give her permission to grow this fast. Where does the time go?

8 Months!!

Wow it seems like these monthly post roll around faster and faster. Sara Beth is still growing faster that it seems possible. She is eating like a champ! Her sleeping has gotten SOOO much better. I usually put her down at night between 8 and 9 and she sleeps normally until 6 or 7 the next morning. It took her 8 months to sleep through the night :( . Emma and Leah were great sleepers so I was a little spoiled! She is getting around the floor where ever she wants, she rolls and scoots backwards on her belly. She is has been getting into the crawling position from the sitting position, but then flops down on her belly or face plants into the floor. She gets into everything. If she sees one little thing on the floor, she thinks she needs to try and eat it. Those tiny fingers picking up fuzz is so cute!! She is very spoiled, and doesn't like to be left alone AT ALL!! In fact, she will make it miserable for you to go into the other room even if it is for lets say 1 minute 45 seconds (which is how long it takes to cook my oatmeal). Then when you return with said oatmeal, she will make you pay for it the whole time you are trying to eat said oatmeal, by screaming her lights out. If you have heard the high pitch scream you know that sometimes it's just worth it to forget the oatmeal!! One thing that she has been doing lately that we just crack up at is shaking her head no (back and forth). You can talk to her and ask her questions and she will shake that head. It is hilarious! She is so much fun to have around. Emma and Leah are still big helpers and enjoy coming home from school and playing with her, Sara Beth enjoys it too!! I think she is up to about 18 pounds now. She is wearing a lot of 12 month clothes. I just can't believe how fast all of this is going by. Where did my little baby go?? We are all looking forward to the summer, it is going to be here before we know it.
