Show us your life - Expecting moms

Last week was for first time moms and I included pregnant first time moms not really looking ahead to realize today was for expecting moms.

But today is for ALL expecting moms - whether it's #1 or #10.

So if you are pregnant - link up and put your baby's due date. That way maybe you can find other moms due the same time as you. It's fun to have friends who have babies the exact same age!

These are the days of our lives

I thought I'd post a few more phone pics and what we have been up to lately.  I never blogged that Scott and I got a date night on Friday night (hallelujah!) Our church had a parents night out.  We ate at Abuelo's and then got ice cream. Perfect night! 

It's hard to leave your kids - but it's so important to get time alone as a couple. I treasure any time we can!

Both my girls LOVE babies. Hollis was kissing this one this morning and it was so sweet. Harper keeps saying she wants to "have a baby".  

I had mentioned to our sweet baby sitter that Harper loved all the princess movies but she had never seen Cinderella (thanks to the stupid Disney vault.)(Let me tell you how I really feel about that dumb marketing ploy). 

She kept Hollis for me today while we had speech and brought their copy of cinderella for us to borrow. Harper has been SOOO excited all day to watch it so I put her in her cinderella gown and she's watching it right now. 

Usually every day while Hollis naps - Harper has quiet time and I run around like a chicken with my head off trying to catch up on cleaning and laundry and whatever else. I had lots to do today but I decided it was more important to sit with Harper for a couple of hours and just read books and hang out. 

The other stuff can wait. I loved just sitting and reading with my girl.

Bless her heart - she has no personality. 

There is nothing I love better in the world than right after bath time when my girls are all clean in their pajamas. We have started taking baths together and they love it. They also LOVE to brush their teeth. I hope this means good Dentist reports in the future. 

Hope y'all have a good weekend! 

14 months

Hollis - today you are 14 months! 

You weigh 26 pounds

You wear a size 18 months clothes

You wear a size 3 shoe

I just bought size 5 diapers for you today because I think you are ready to move up!

You are a full time walker now and you move fast! 

You want to be wherever your sister is. 

I love when we go to pick up Harper from school because you smile SO BIG! You just adore her. 

You are the worst sleeper on the planet - still get up every 2 hours most nights. You do take pretty good naps. I think you just have too much to do to sleep! :-)

You are a great eater. Your favorite things are avocado, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, spinach and artichoke hummus (you LOVE that) and you have a big sweet tooth. You get so excited if I ever let you have anything sweet. 

You say "momma", "dada", "bye bye", "uh oh" and "ball".  

You are into everything. I have to fix all our childproof locks because you are into every cabinet, pantry and drawer right now. 

You HATE being in the car. This is not a great thing because we are in the car a lot. I recently put in a DVD player and it's helping some. I hope you grow to like riding! 

You love to play outside. 

You really are so sweet. We just adore you.  You have a very feisty side and we laugh because we know it's only a matter of time before you start bullying Harper. We can see it in your eyes. ha! 

My favorite things is when you give me a kiss or when you give Harper a kiss. It melts me. I also love the rare moments when you will bury your head in my neck and let me cuddle you. You are not a big cuddlier. You don't like to be rocked or held or sung to. 

I adore every thing about you and I'm so thankful you completed our family. I love watching you grow and change and discover new things.
