We have another talker on our hands!

My sweet little lady is 'talking' and cooing up a storm these days. I'm sorry about my annoying baby talk voice, I honestly tried to get a video without it, but I just can't do it. Something about talking to a baby just brings the baby talk voice out ;)

Adelyn is 8 weeks old and is becoming so much more alert and aware. She smiles all the time and we are having a blast learning her sweet personality. Enjoy the video!

Fun times with fun friends!

Wednesday night my one of my best friends, Amy, came to visit. She has two girls as well. Lane is 5 days older than Katelyn and Landry is 1 day older than Adelyn (not we didn't plan it that way) :) Adelyn and Landry did a lot of laying around; hanging out together. By the way, this was Adelyn's 2 month birthday! Happy birthday my sweet baby!

We let the big girls play out on the slip-n-slide Thursday afternoon and they loved every second of it. They attempted to play catch, but honestly, it was more like fetch. One would throw the ball and the other would run get it, you get the picture.

Here they are splashing in the water together. It was hard to get a picture of them in the water because they were having such a good time they would not stay still longer than about 2 seconds.

Of course we had to get them matching shirts and have a little photo shoot. What cutie pies!

Awww, bff's hugging! They love each other (except when one has a toy the other one wants)!!!!

Some more lounge time for the two babies.

Some fun play time- Lane is brave to let Katelyn pull her in the wagon!

Hiding under the playscape in the back yard....

We also went to the sand park, but I didn't take the camera. We had a blast hanging out with our sweet friends. I wish they lived closer so we could hang out more often. Katelyn loves Lane. This morning when we were eating breakfast she asked when Lane was going to come play again!

Power Cooking Party!

When Jean was here after Adelyn was born she introduced me to 'power cooking'. She made us 8 meals that she put in a Ziploc and then froze. Now all I have to do is pull the Ziploc out of the freezer and stick it in the crockpot. I have enjoyed the meals so much that I decided I'd host a power cooking night with a few friends. Brandi and Laura came over with groceries in tow and in just under 2 hours we made 11 meals!!!!

(and no, I didn't have to hold Adelyn while cooking- my sweet hubby kept her entertained while we prepped the meals)

Here is the finished products all piled high in the freezer:

While I'm talking food- here is Katelyn's new favorite snack.

I bought a big box of go-gurt from Costco and frozen them. Now I just take one, cut it in 1/2 and Katelyn LOVES IT!!! Thanks to Jennie for the idea of freezing them.

Tu-Tu Tuesday

Katelyn has found the joy in playing dress-up! Today she wanted to wear her tu-tu that Aunt Stormi made for her. Thanks Stormi for the cute tu-tu, Katelyn keeps referring to it as her Stormi tu-tu :)

Bedtime is so much fun!

We are big fans of swaddling in our house! When Katelyn was a baby we swaddled her until she was at least 6 to 8 months old! We now swaddle Adelyn too and she is just as big of a fan as her sister was. Katelyn now likes to 'wrap-up' too! Of course she'll only stay like that for about 30 seconds before she breaks free.

Here is Jared with his two little burritos!

I love this picture of Katelyn holding Adelyn. You can tell by the look on KG's face that she loves her little sister so much! We prayed and prayed that Katelyn would adjust well to having a sister and the Lord answered those prayers! I'm so excited to see these girls grow up to be the best of friends!!!

SHHHH, she's sleeping!

Her favorite sleeping position, on her tummy with knees tucked up- Here she is searching for her thumb while napping in the pack-n-play.

...and for the record, she does usually sleep in her cradle, I just don't think to take pictures when she is sleeping there!

Dress-Up

Last week Katelyn decided she wanted to play a little dress-up. We had a good time dressing up like a ballerina, but it made me realize my baby girl is growing up! Her little imagination is so much fun! She always wants to have her 'phone' handy so she can call all her family and friends. Many of you don't realize that Katelyn talks to you multiple times a day. She is also such a girly-girl. She has her sunglasses, bracelets, watch and necklace that she would wear 24/7 if I let her! Here is our photo shoot from her dress-up play day (and yes, we left the house with her wearing this outfit) :)
