Lola 4 months sequence

Just figured out how to do this on my phone:)

Tate update 26 months

*My sweet little boy. He makes everyday so much better for me. 2 years is tough sometimes but it is my favorite. He is so smart. He says new things everyday. He comprehends so much. He is amazing.

*He is 36 inches tall, & weighs 28.8 lbs.

*He is such a big helper 

*He is very good at cleaning up & usually minds well.

*He is a sweet little brother & a good big brother. He helps get Lola's blanket & binky.

*He gives big bear hugs & sweet kisses.

*I always tuck him in & say "Mommy loves you thiiiisssss much!" & spread my arms wide. I ask him how much Mommy loves him & he says "Muuuuccch!" & holds his arms wide. It is SO cute<3

*He wears 3T clothes & a size 8 shoe.

*Knows most animals & sounds they make
*Looooves his sisters
*Poppy taught him how to count to 11 & almost to 14 (how old sissy is) with help

*he likes to dance
*loves music in the car (fisher price is fave) & whenever it is on tv
*stiiiiiill loves his vroom vrooms.

*Adjusted great to the baby, but when she was about 2 months he started wanting to carry his blankies, pillow, & animals EVERYWHERE! *Super attached to bink & bottle lately (baby changes)

*He can say most of the aunts, uncles, & cousins names.
*Words we CAN'T figure out are nonni, hachi, & noni

*He loves to water the plants with mom.

*Cars is his favorite show lately & Curious George is before bed.

*He sure is a light eater. Pizza is his favorite food. He loves blueberries,  Greek yogurt, pizza, & Pb & j's. And of course the garbage daddy feeds him like cookie crisp cereal, cocoa puffs, crunch berries, popcorn & fruit snacks

*He learned & loves to look at the stoplights when we're driving. It is so cute. He's so smart! Green go, yellow slow, red stop. Green is his favorite :)

*Loves to be silly with Daddy

*Olivia*

 So I haven't updated about Liv for awhile. She is in 9th grade & doing great in school. Her teachers love her & she is getting straight A's. She is AWESOME! She likes choir & actually has her first concert tomorrow.

 

She is dancing on Team Desire at Inspire Dance Studio & loves it. She goes on Mondays, Tuesdays, & Thursdays for about 2 hours each time (She likes to skip out on Thursdays, which is ballet, quite a bit though ;))

 

She is the best sister to the little ones. She loves to snuggle her baby sis & loves to get kisses & hugs from Tater. She is a big help with them too!

It seriously melts my heart. Because she is a lot older than them I was worried they would annoy her, but she couldn't love them more. It is so sweet to watch her with them <3

 

Her best friend lately is Josie. She still hangs out with Bella too.

 

Her favorite things to do are listen to music, being on her phone of course ;), hanging out with her friends, dancing, instagram, taking selfies ;)

 

She recently got to go to Zion's National Park with her mom & Shawn. She didn't care for hiking, but liked the scenery & shops around town ;)

 

She likes tribal prints, flannel shirts, comfy hoodies, & MC Hammer style pants that are from my younger days ;) I think they call them joggers these days? Idk, I'm kinda old now! ;)

 

Her most favorite recent song (changes daily ;)) is "All About That Bass" by Megan Trainor. She likes to listen to Pandora a lot too. I have to say I like her taste in music better than her dad's. Except his old school stuff :)

 

Favorite foods & snacks (also changing daily ;)): yogurt & granola, bananas, asian chicken salad, goolash, tater tot casserole.

 

Her fave TV shows are "The Voice" & "Supernatural" & "Pretty Little Liars"

 

She gets along a lot better with her mom these days & spends time with her about every other weekend & some other days too occassionally. She enjoys going over there & spending time with her stepsister Caitlyn too. They have gotten a lot closer over the years.

 

Liv is an EXCELLENT baker (brownies are her specialty), & helps out with dinner a lot too.

 

She loves to go get ice cream. We like to walk to the gas station on the corner of Harrison & 24th & giggle about our favorite hippie dude that works there.

 

She still helps me like a little personal assistant & I appreciate her SO much. She helps with dinner, with the dishes, with the little ones, helps when we are loadin up our life in the 4runner to go wherever we are going for the day ;)

 

We love you Liv!

You are as BEAUTIFUL on the INSIDE as you are on the OUTSIDE!

 

 

Lola is 4 Months Old!

 Oh my beautiful girl!

We all love you SO so much!

You bring so much joy into our home, thank you <3

You grow so much quicker than I'm ready for. Being the 3rd child means there's a little (or quite a lot ;)) less time for Mommy to sit & stare at you all day like I got to with your brother. We are always on the go, always tired (mostly due to you my sweet!), & the time just flies. You are my last baby & it makes me so sad that time escapes me. I can tell you grow every single day. I miss you so much when I'm at work. Spending time away from you makes me appreciate you more though.

You are amazing. You are beautiful inside & out. I love your sweet, happy personality. I wish your stinkin tummy let you feel better because you are quite a cheerful, smiley, cool girl when you feel good!

Happy 4 months my little princess!

Xoxo

 

 

*At 4 months Lola is barely fitting into her 3-6 month clothes, we are gonna hafta break out the 6 monthers. She wears a size 2 diaper. Her petite little girly feet still can't fit in all these cute shoes we've inherited!

*She smiles if you even look at her & she giggles so much! I LOVE it! Nothin beats baby & kid giggles. They are a sure fire way to brighten ANYone's day <3

*She is 14.8 lbs &___ inches long Hmm. I'll have to edit that. I had it in my phone & I accidentally deleted it :(

*She fits perfectly in my arms & her cute, chunky little thighs fit perfect in my hands.

*She does NOT like to go to bed or nap. She takes little cat naps just like her brother did. She doesn't have a schedule per-say, but you can count on her being exhaused at 9:30-10pm, not eating good, falling asleep & waking back up until about 2 am. At least it's not 4:30-5am anymore ;)

*She has the CUTEST dimples all over her face! Below her eyes & mouth, 2 on her left cheek, one on the right, & one on her neck. A-dorable!

*She eats anywhere from 4-7 oz & eats about every 3 hours. Every 2.5 hrs if she doesn't eat good.

*She loves her brother (even though he mauls her!)

*She loves to snuggle with Sissy

*She loooooves to be held & snuggled

*She holds on to my shirt like a blankie when she's nursing

*She is obsessed with eating her hands

*She sits up so good in the bumbo, sort of :)

*She gets very distracted while nursing. Especially by Daddy & Brother's voices. And the TV. And the ceiling fan.

*She totally does crunches all the time trying to sit up & be so big.

*She can pretty much roll over, she just can't quite get the hand she rolls over on out from under her chunky little bod :)



September

 Again, I had these all labeled, but they didn't get saved so here goes again. Probably a shorter version than the first time ;)

 

Grammy & Poppy planned the funnest trip to Build-A-Bear! We got to ride the train there too. It was so fun! Thanks Grammy & Poppy!

 

Grammy packed treat bags & everything!

 

Me & Lola putting the heart & stuffing into her My Little Pony. I was so excited to find it! I had one almost just like it on my birthday cake when I was little. Pretty special :)

 

And of course we had to go for ice cream after ;)

 

 

Tater has been really into his cousins. He's totally a little boy right now. It's pretty fun 

 

Check out all the fun!

 

We were all able to go to our nephew Landon's baptism. Congratulations Landon. We are so proud of you  

 

This is Tater doing pilates with me. He actually really did it for about 10 minutes. It was so cute.        I couldn't resist taking a selfie since my phone was right there. He was hysterical.

 

September 10th was mine & Bobby's 4th anniversary. Tate & I made his favorite gorilla poop cookies for him. He looks like such a big boy here! He did pretty good too for 2 years old.

 

Tate, Lola, & I went to visit Lindsay & see Charley's room. She & Ryan did such an awesome job on it! It seriously belongs in a magazine or at least Pinterest ;)

 

Zach & my dad got a new huntin dog. Her name is Ruby. She is so cute & Tate loves her.

I miss havin a doggy around.

Love you HoneyBun

 

With the girlies at El Matador to celebrate mine & Shalee's 34th bdays. It was fun. I have the best girlfriend ever. I am really so lucky!

 

Baby Charley is here!

 

Livers, Tater, Lola & I walked to get ice cream. They even have the tiny cones for Tate! 

 

Me & Liv going to meet Charley. I actually couldn't resist & stopped by on my way home from work to sneak a peek at him in the nursery that morning.

He is so cute! 

 

Tater teaching Lola to play the piano :)

What a good brother!

 

 

My dad watched Tater while us girls went to Ashley's stake dinner & Women's Conference broadcast. I am really glad I had the opportunity to go & listen. President Uchtdorf spoke too, I especially like him. He makes the mood so light & is funny.

Thanks Dad!

We went to watch Houston's primary program & then to Beau's birthday lunch. Houston did awesome! His talk was so long, he was so reverent, I was so proud of him! 

 

 

All the cutie cousins :)

 

Liv & I went to get Pedi's. Super fun! 

 

He looked so cute for our night outing grocery shopping
