T-Shirt Posts

Well here we have it!  Our final t-shirt post!  With each passing month she proved to be more difficult to take a "good" picture of!  :-)  But at least I got one!  We also had her 1 year check up at the Dr. this week with three shots in the thigh and blood work done to prove it!  :-(

  She measured in at:

Weight 16 lbs 11 oz (0%)

Length 27.5 inches (6%)

And of course I had to go to everyone's baby books to compare!  

Miss E was 17 lbs 3 oz (4%) and 27. 5 inches (6%)

Little E was 19 lbs 15 oz (15%) and 30 3/4 inches (80%)

First Day of Kindergarten

Well, the time has finally come for our baby girl to start KINDERGARTEN!  :-)  We couldn't be more excited for her!!!  Daddy was a bit bummed that he didn't get to send her off and see her all day like Mommy does, but he was still so proud to see her all ready and excited for school to start!

Here she is with her backpack.  Can you tell she is excited?!?!

Mommy and Miss E off to Kindergarten!

 Here she is with her teacher Mrs. Parker and the "Welcome Back to School Bottle" she gave her filled with lots of office supplies to hopefully help Mrs. Parker have a GREAT year!  

At her desk, ready to start her day!

One more picture with Mommy before she had to head back to her classroom.  Now Mommy remembers why she wanted to be a teacher!  ;-)  She certainly has the best of both worlds!  A job she loves and getting to see her baby across the hall anytime she wants!  (As long as Mrs. Parker doesn't kick her out!)  ;-)

Birthday Girl!!!

Happy Birthday baby girl!  We love you to the moon and back. . . and then some!!!!

Both Daddy and I raced into your room as soon as we heard you awake on your birthday!  You greeted us with a big smile and arms held up waiting to be held.  :-)  

Mommy even got to feed you a bottle, something you never let us do anymore!

The birthday girl in her birthday outfit, heading to church.

Auntie Amanda made her barrette.  It matched her outfit perfectly! 

What a blessing you have been!  You have changed our world for the better in every possible way!  Love you sweet baby girl!  XOXO

Static

Baby A LOVES playing on the tramp.  Even if she gets bounced all over from her brother and sister, she gets the biggest kick out of it!  However every time she is on the tramp . . . this is what happens to her hair.  We might need to carry around the static guard!  :-) 

1 Year Photo Shoot

It is our little pumpkin's birthday tomorrow so I thought I better quick get her one year pictures taken!   We got a couple good ones in the 15 minutes we were out this morning. (15 minutes is about as long as she or I can handle!)  She really has developed quite the personality!  We just think the world of her and LOVE her to pieces!  What a blessing!

She likes Miss E's  little pink chair so we went with it!  :-)

Published Author

Miss E's old preschool teacher and Little E's new preschool teacher has just published her first book. The teachers had an open house for her during Back to School Night.  We are VERY proud of her!!!!!  

Back to School Night

The kids had fun at back to school night, meeting their teachers and checking out their new classrooms!  This is going to be a GREAT year... I can just feel it!!!!  :-)  

First Day at our New Daycare

Little E handled it like a champ!  Baby A not so much!  :-)

Orthodontist?!?!

Yup, it is pretty certain that these two are going to need to visit the orthodontist in the near future!  ;-)  

Whoo's ONE?

We ended up celebrating Baby A's 1st birthday a week early, due to school starting next week.  

Here is a picture of the birthday girl!  SO grown up! My niece, Addi came and stayed with me a couple weeks ago and we had a blast putting her party together!  Addi made the skirt, I made the headband and shirt, and Auntie Christine made the shoes.  Isn't she the best dressed birthday girl you have ever seen?

Here are some pictures of the decorations and party favors. These are little owl pillows. 

Addi and I had so much fun playing with fondant.  

Might just be our new favorite hobby!  

It is hard to see but the bottom pictures are Baby A's month pictures from 1 month to 11, with the last one in her party outfit.  I will have to take her 12 month picture next week!

 Time to eat!

 Here is the before pictures, digging into her cake.

And the after picture.  She didn't get into it as much as we thought she would.  :-)  I actually had to cut the cake open to see if she would like that better. . . NOPE!  A finger poke and a lick here and there was all we got!

Without a doubt the other kids got more frosting on themselves than Baby A did!

Then it was time to play!

Opening presents.  

 

While we were playing outside Daddy found a bunny in Mommy's flowers.  That might just have been the highlight of the party!  LOL!

One last picture of Baby A's summer sandals!  Aren't baby feet the sweetest things ever?!?!  :-) 

Thanks again to everyone who came to celebrate Baby A's birthday with us.  We had so much fun!!!  XOXO
