My little family

Ollie's 6 month update

January 11

15 pounds and celebrated his half birthday by getting shots poor guys. He hates taking a bottle and still wont take a binky as much as I have tried. Hates his car seat, loves people and getting attention. He's a VERY light sleeper which makes it extremely difficult after nursing him and trying to put him in his crib. He isn't sleeping through the night completely, only wakes up once to eat then will go back to sleep but he ends up in our bed since I always fall asleep while nursing him in the wee hours of the morning. I love his little giggles, he had such a boy laugh and voice when he talks. I am in love with this little boy, we are so blessed to have him in our family.

a few pictures of firsts

After the new year we decided to start giving Oliver baby food. I gave him mashed bananas and he was NOT a fan. Pretty much gagged on them and had no interest haha. He is still nursing like a champ, such a difference compared to his big sis.

First time taking a bubble bath with MJ and he loved it! They are such cute little friends

Time to lower the crib! he is beginning to pull himself up and is army crawling all over the place!

Ollie's 5 month update

December 11th.

His little personality is so sweet, he adores his big sister and always watching her to see what she is doing. Quite the little talker, spits bubbles. He is so easy going and happy as long as he is fed and has a clean diaper. Sitting up like a big boy and enjoying his toys.

Christmas

Christmas this year was so fun and crazy at my parents this year. My sister and her family came for the holidays so it was a packed house with 6 adults and 5 kids that slept over Christmas Eve. Mary was in heaven playing with her cousin Zooey. They don't see each other often but they are just the best of friends when they get together.

Girls night before Christmas. The little girls as you can see received matching pj's as did my sisters, mom and I. We ate home made cafe rio and watched Christmas movies while painting our nails and eating treats.

Christmas morning before the stockings were found!

The tunnel was a hit with the kids!

Christmas afternoon at GiGi's

and back to my parents for Christmas dinner. Holidays are crazy with trying to see both families but we wouldn't have it any other way. These will be memories for our little ones to always remember and look back on.

Zoo lights

We braved the freezing temperatures and went to Zoo lights with our friends. It was insanely cold!!

only Thanksgiving picture I have. I unfortunately am notorious for forgetting my camera and keeping it charged :P
Yay for phones with cameras! We spent the holiday at GiGi's house with my in laws eating delicious food and wonderful company. We later went to my parents for some left over Thanksgiving dinner which was just as delicious. We are blessed to have both families so close by.

mega update

MJ turned 3 years old on November 20. She is my sweet, shy, sassy girl. I never posted her party with my in laws and a couple of friends that joined the fun. I can't believe I have a 3 year old, she is a sunbeam now and loves it.

I love how she says ''Oviler'
I love how sensitive she is towards other people and their feelings
I love her imagination and watching her play with her toys
She is a little mini mama with Ollie and is an amazing big sister to him
I love this stage, everyone is her friend and her cousin in her eyes.
She has to have ''pink'' her blanket a friend of our made for her when she was born to sleep with each night.
She is a total girl, loves perfume, lip gloss, dressing up, and wearing her "practice shoes" (church shoes) whenever she can.

She chose a My Little Pony theme with pizza of course. We did a rainbow of fruit, cupcakes, and veggies. She was so excited while we were decorating and when her guests arrived. She kept thanking everyone for coming and bringing her presents it was so cute.
