Sadie and Dakota

We certainly can't forget Sadie and Dakota! They too are doing well and growing up quickly. Sadie's most favorite thing on this earth is a barbie doll and baby doll that Nana and Papa gave her for Christmas. She loves playing pretend with them. Almost everyday when she gets home, she goes to her room and starts dress-up time with her and the barbies. So, where does that leave Dakota,you got it.......dressing up and playing with barbies as well as bringing Mickey Mouse Rockstar into the pictures. He also loves playing with cars and tractors. I also think he is the official driver of the Barbie car. Sadie and Dakota play really well together. They love each other so much and I am so thankful the relationship they are building together. Don't get me wrong, they do have their times of arguing, but for the most part they love each other a lot! Another one of their favorite things to do is build a camp out (as Sadie says). This is when you make blankets for all the babies, stuff animals, cars, and such. It's not my favorite thing because it is a complete disaster, but you can't help but smile when they coming running to you and say, "Come here mama, Look and me and Dakota's camp out". They're so proud at what they have accomplished. The both continue to love school. Dakota can count to ten now and he know a lot of his ABC'S. Sadie has also learned how to write her name. We are very proud of them. They like nothing more than to go to a ballgame at school. A few weeks ago we turned in the parking lot and all you here is Dakota taking his fingers out of his mouth and he says loudly.........YEHAHHHHHHHH!!!! BALLGAMEEE!!!! And of course Sadie says, can we get some popcorn. Man, I just love them! Sweet handsome Dakota

My sweet underarmour girl, Sadie!!!

My baby is 6 months old!

I can't believe six months have already gone by. Chloe is 6 months old today. She is truly a joy to be around. She loves being around other people. She really loves smiling at her brother and sister. She does love mom the most right now. She whines everytime time I leave the room or enter room. We just gave her her first baby food last week. She has had apples, sweet potatoes, prune, and bananas. I must say that she is a lot like here sister was.......she loves those prunes. She is doing a great job sleeping at night, which is really good for mom and dad. I am trying to enjoy every moment that I have with my sweet baby, because Lord willing there will be no more. She tries to talk so much, but she hasn't said a word that we can understand yet. We are anxious to see here first word soon! She continues to love playing with her feet, drinking her milk, playing in her exer-saucer, sitting in anyone's lap, and of course eating her mum-mums. The only bad thing I can honestly think of would have to be her acid reflux. She spits up really bad and we really feel sorry for her. He is growing and gaining weight though, so we are thankful for that. She has also transitioned to formula now and seems to be responding very well to that also. She is still wearing 3 month clothes and can wear some of Sadie's 3-6 month clothes. She continues to be such a cutie although we do need some hair soon. We will be giving another update in a couple of weeks when she gets her 6 month check-up and we find out how much she weighs and how long she has gotten.

Debby's Birthday Party

Last weekend we attending Debby's 1st birthday party. She belongs to our friends Mike and Sarah Robbins. The party was a lot of fun and we enjoyed visiting with some good old friends!

Chloe at 5 months old!

So much happened during the fifth month of Chloe's life. She had her first Christmas. She turned over! She began holding her own bottle. She is constantly cooing and caahhing. She loves to be held and smiles a lot. She will even laugh every one in a while. She is eating very well, about every 3.5-4 hours. She doesn't really care for rice cereal, so she hasn't had any food yet. She loves to watch Sadie and Dakota plays and really loves to laugh at Sadie dancing in front of her in the bouncer. She started playing in the exersaucer and she really likes it too, especially when Dakota helps her press all the buttons. We were most excited to see Chloe sleeping through the night. Praise the GOOD LORD!!! Finding her feet was also very exciting. That is probably what she is most excited about. Every time she is laying down, she constantly wants to put them in her mouth.

Here Chloe is feeding herself her bottle! This was exciting for mama and daddy!

Here are some miscellaneous pictures:

Silly Dakota!

Dakota loves to eat! In fact he loves to eat so much that he thought it would only be fair to help Chloe eat! Hey, at least he is sharing!

Enjoying Bathtime!

Chloe loves bath time now! We do have to watch her very closely though because she will hop out of that tub if you are not careful!

Chloe Turns Over

When Chloe was around 5 and half months old she decided to turn over. She was a little scared to start with , but then she started to get used to it. She really didn't like being on her stomach very much though.

Sadie wants curls like Mommy!

Almost every time that I wear my hair down naturally, Sadie says, "Mommy you have the prettiest hair", I am going to ask God to give me curls". Well I am not sure if she will have curls, but when we go to mom and dads, Nannie give her some curls with the hot curlers. Here she is just as happy as she can be with her curls! She was so proud. She went all over Nana and Papa's house showing everyone!

ECU cuteness!

These are just a few pictures that were on my cell phone that I just had to post. Sadie and Chloe are just so adorable in their pirate wear! Chloe was about 2 months old here!

Better Late than NEVER!!!

This is sooooo old, but I had to post it because I will need it for my baby book. Dakota got his haircut here in Farmville. It was his first time in the beauty shop chair. He did so good and I was so proud. Of course the blowpop that RD gave him helped some. Rd just kept bragging about how well he did for such a young little boy. He just sat there all still and his haircut was adorable!

Caden and Sadie

This is just a really cute picture of Sadie and her really good friends. She is such good friends with Caden and Logan. I am so thankful to be friends with their parents. They have and always will be very special to our family. I can't wait to continue seeing these guys grow up together and build many more memories!
