belting it out

hinge texas

my coworkers finally decided to show up for work!

at the bar

we found some bar stools that fit under the counter and look who is enjoying eating 'at the bar!'

getting stronger

this development literally happened overnight.  she would hold her head up a little bit during tummy time. but now we're full on using our arms for support and holding our chest and head up for extended periods of time.  you go girl!

beach club

so the cool think about the development we live in is that they have a private beach club for all the residents to go to.  we weren't sure what to expect when we heard about it, but we figured it's only about 5 minutes from our house, so we would check it out.  but uhhhh, yeah, this is pretty awesome!

this was little miss' first experience with a large body of water too! she loved it.  was a little cold at first, but we all got used to it.  we even went underwater once and she did great. we're going to keep at that so she's an old pro in the water.

so the beach club is basically a sandy beach surrounding a pool that is no deeper than 4 feet or so in the middle.  there is a great splashpad next to the big pool beach part, plenty of chairs along the perimeter, and even little picnic pavillions that would be great for parties or if you were planning on staying all day.  what we also found out is you can bring canned beer and drink it there too! jackpot!

so we may not have a pool in our backyard...but we have a beach! 

tummy time and brother love

i still can't get over how much this guy loves his baby sister.  he always wants to be close to her and helping her do something, even if it is just hanging out!

but oh wait...who started holding their head up high for longer periods of time!

big girl!!!

relaxing part deux

i'm telling you...the girl is stressed!!!

right!!!!!

a day late

daycare was a day late with their father's day gift....but OMG...how cute is this!

we can't stop looking at it.  

and girl...you are quickly working your way into the depths of your daddy's heart!!!

father's day fun

happy father's day (and happy belated anniversary to tim and andrea)!!!

the gang will be heading back home later this afternoon, so i thought why not try to wear the kids out for them.  so off to the splashpad we go!  oh my gosh, perfect weather!!  the kids had a blast, and we enjoyed relaxing and taking in the cool breeze.

to top things off, we wanted to take everyone to three stacks to get filled up to the brim with bbq! oh...and we did!!  it was delicious as usual.  

after lunch we said see you soon!!

they've arrived!!!

not long after we got home from the birthday party did the whole gang arrive.  we were so excited they were here!!

i think someone has an uncle time fan!  ;)

since it had been a long day for everyone, we decided to lay low tonight, bbq, and enjoy a couple drinks together!  cheers to the texas two year plan taking less than expected!!!

waiting

uncle time, aunt andrea, cousin mason and cousin olivia are coming over to our house today.  someone was VERY excited this morning and wanted to sit and wait for them to get here.  hmmmm, it's going to be a little bit buddy.  luckily we have liam's birthday party to go to before the gang gets here!

chill

it makes me smile every time i see this little miss sleeping.  hands behind her head, completely chilled out.  she's definitely got a good life!

frisbee

someone likes their new backyard!

three months

my how you are growing little lady!

three months!!

 we have to wait until our 4 month visit for measurements, but you are definitely growing!

 still wearing size 1 diapers

 still wearing 3 month clothes

you never miss a meal and eat about every 2-3 hours during the day

you're not sleeping through the night yet, but can get 3-4 hour stretches out of you most nights

i'm still doing the no dairy thing and you seem much better

you can sit up propped up pretty well on your own, but not for very long

 celebrated our first mothers day as mother and daughter!

really starting to laugh in response to things now

started going to school!  

started chewing on toys more, no teeth yet thank goodness

survived your first move into our new house. what a day!

like father, like son

from what grady said, he actually sounded decent at times!

he's a natural, watch out!!
