God gave me you.

On my own I'm only 

Half of what I could be 

I can't do without you 

We are stitched together 

And what love has tethered 

I could baby, never undo 

God gave me you for the ups and downs 

God gave me you for the days of doubt 

God gave me you for the ups and downs 

God gave me you for the days of doubt 

For when I think I've lost my way 

There are no words here left to say, it's true 

God gave me you, gave me you.

Disney World!

Last week we heading to Florida to spend 4 days at Disney World. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to take the girls back again! Chloe had an absolute blast and Saylor was a breeze. Such a fun time!

sweet hubs.

thank you, sug. i love you. 

....and a very happy St. patty's day friends....

Rice cereal, take 1.

Last night Saylor tried rice cereal for the first time... 

And this is how she felt about it... 

Not so thrilled, ha! She had more on her face than anywhere else! Guess we'll wait a few days and try again... :) 

4 months!

Happy 4 months, sweet Saylor! 

We are a few days late on this post because we were in Disney World on your 4 month birthday! You had your first trip to Disney and you were such a trooper. So easy going and laid back. You went with the flow, would take naps in your stroller if you were tired and loved taking in all the sites.

This past month has been so much fun with you. You are starting to get a little personality and I love it! 

You are a beautiful baby girl and am I so proud to be your momma!

You are laughing and talking so much. Here's a short clip of a video I sent to your ShuShu and Gbake. You sure had something to tell them :) 

I love the way you laugh. I love the way your eyes light up when you smile. I love that you recognize us now. You are such a delight.

You are still such a good sleeper. You go to bed about 8pm and get up around 7am to eat. You go right back to sleep after you eat for an hour or two. You take 2 to 3 naps during the day. Your new favorite thing during nap time is to hold a blankie. It is too precious.

You still sleep in our room in your moses basket. You love to be swaddled and still love your paci. We take a bath each night before bed time and you love it. You get so excited. Bath time is probably your favorite time of the day.

You have been getting better about tummy time and yesterday you rolled over for the first time. You were so excited and just kept smiling after you did it.

I can't believe how fast you are growing. You are in 3 months and 3-6 month clothes. You are still in size 1 diapers. You still breastfeed exclusively and I love that time with you. We were at the doctor today and you'll be starting rice cereal this week. I can't believe we are getting ready for solid foods already.

You still love your bouncy seat and you love your bumbo seat as well. When I get ready in the mornings, I put you in your bumbo on my bathroom counter. You love to watch me get ready and just babble the whole time. Too precious. You also love your exercauser and your play mat. 

You have wonderful head control and love to stand up. Your little leggies are so strong. I love to play with you and you are getting excited about toys these days. So cute. 

We went to the doctor this morning and here are your stats....

Weight: 14 lbs (55th percentile)

Height: 24 1/2 inches (56th percentile)

Head Circumference: 16 inches (37th percentile)

Doctor said you looked perfect and healthy. 

Every single night I thank our sweet Jesus for the gift of you. I had no idea I could love someone so little, so very much. You are my heart, sweet angel, and I love you to the moon and back. You are such a precious gift. 

Happy 4 months, darling girl.

I will love you forever.

my princess.

Happy Birthday, Jake!

Happy, Happy Birthday to my brother!

We love you, Uncle Jake....

Hope you have a wonderful day! 

worn out.

We are home from Disney. And besides a little unpacking and some laundry, this is what is going on at our house today....

Updates!

We are on day 3 of our Disney adventure and having a great time!

Saylor is 4 months old today. Seriously, time needs to slow down. We'll be celebrating 4 precious months @ Universal today.

She has been such a trooper on this trip. We are so blessed to have such an easy going, laid back baby!

She's been sleeping in on this trip... As I type this quick post on my phone, it is 9:01am and she is still snoozing!

Yesterday was spent at Magic Kingdom. Magical it was until the rain, um monsoon, came. And we were stuck and very unprepared. Cue slack mommy with no ponchos. Oops, was that my job? What was I thinking?! Ha. The day ended with all of us drenched to the bone, as we ran through sheets of sideways rain and massive puddles pulling my flip flops off and flooding the stroller. Never. Been. So. Wet. In. My. Life.

Wow.

The rain was so bad, we stripped the girls down to nothing, put them in their car seats, wrapped the driest blankets we had (aka damp blankets) around them and turned the heat on full blast.

Welcome to Disney World :)!


Lots of posts and pictures to come when we return home!

Bomb went off.

Packing for a week at Disney World... our house looks like a bomb went off. 

wowza.

Blue Eyes.

When I look into your beautiful blue eyes,

I can see the stars twinkling in the sky...

Forever.

"...Forever can never be long enough for me 

To feel like I've had long enough with you..."

Saylor is a Baby Bug!

Today was Saylor's first day at the Little Gym! We are in the parent/child class, Baby Bugs, and it was just too cute. Saylor did so great in the class and was pooped when we got home and took a great nap!

They do little activities with them to help develop their motor skills and strengthen their little arms and legs to help them along with crawling, walking, etc. 

Saylor's new friend, baby Chloe 

leg exercises 

She wasn't too crazy about laying on the cheese... ha!

Jumping on the spring board...

Hanging on the balance beam...

Bubbles and balls...

Bells and singing bye bye...

Too fun!
