the big TWO FIVE.

happy happy birthday to one special Daddy! (oh, and Itty turned 3!)
We had so much fun celebrating Brady's 25th birthday with just our little family. Oddly, about everyone in our families were out of town on that very day and I was kind of feeling bad about it, but we ended up having such a great day. (please notice my cake... not bad for a VERY first time, eh? note: I DO NOT bake. Or frost.) haha

My love, I can't wait to spend the rest of your birthdays with you. Thanks for spending your special day with us. You're the best. The very best. I love you more than my life.

Itty, you are the greatest dog in the whole wide world. We are so lucky to have you. Isn't it weird that you and Daddy have the same birthday? Don't worry, we'll always write your name on the cake.

So, here's to the 25th!

Harlo Update

This is the face of a brave little girl who survived her six month shots.

These are the battle wounds of that brave little girl, on her chunky little thighs that have gained nearly 4 lbs since her last visit to Dr. Marsden!

I REALLY needed to post a Harlo update, so what better time than a doctors visit? My amazing child has over-doubled her birth weight, which at the last visit we did NOT see her doing. at 4 months she was in the 21 percentile for weight, and now she's at a whopping 37th percentile!! My big girl weighted 15 lbs 12 oz and is 26 1/2 inches long!! I am one proud mama!!

Here is a little update on what Harlo is doing these days:

• She says "mama", "baba", and "dada"
• She fake coughs all day everyday and will cough louder and louder if I don't say "oh goodness!!"
• She rolls and scoots all over the floor, eating everything in sight.
• She eats fruist AND veggies 2-3 times a day (we just barely added a 3rd feeding today, we'll see how it goes) Her favorite food is DEFINITELY butternut squash, but she loves sweet potatoes and corn too.
• She can suck out of a sippy cup and thinks she's a really big girl for doing so.
• She laughs and talks to me all day long, we have great heart felt conversations.
• She LOVES mirrors, Itty, kids, and HER DAD right now.
• And, my personal favorite, she waves bye-bye! It is so cute to see her little hand do such amazing things! =)
  

She said all of her words, and waved to Dr. Marsden. He loved her. Really loved her. I could just eat this little lady up! And, the GREATEST news I may have heard thus far, we're done with shots until her one year appointment!! YAY!!
