Week 32

It's no surprise, but this past week we have been so incredibly busy!!! Lot's of photo shoots, both of my cute clients and Miss Ads went on her first model casting call! She got the job! Both her and her BFF Natalie were selected to model for the sassy baby toy company. The photo shoot was today and they did AMAZING! Seriously was so fun, but slightly odd to sit back and watch someone else work behind the camera ;) The studio was my dream studio! One day I will have a space to call my own! ;)

On a different note, we finally were able to hit up Adelie's 6 month apt<-which consisted of three shots :( Completely heartbreaking to pin her down, watch her turn bright red and cry so incredibly hard.

We have got the ok to start on solid foods three times a day and to start incorporating water every now and then. She is growing like a weed and the Dr. had nothing but positive things to say about her :)

However, the next three days post shots, poor baby just wasn't herself and had a runny nose. It was so sad that Brandon actually said she could sleep in our bed ;)

After my SIL suggested a mesh teether to start introducing real foods, we went out and got one! She LOVES it! I've put chunks of apple in it, bananas and the baby puffs! The only draw back is, it is SO incredibly messy! I'm talking strip her down and an immediate bath ;)

After Valentines, newborns and some other fun shoots Adelie and I traveled south on Sunday for some more shoots outdoors! Of course she stayed inside and visited with my fam and got to play with her new pink & purple ride on truck! Since all of my sister (Jamisons) little tikes + fisher price toys burnt up when my dad had the fire in the garage, the insurance paid for us to replace them! This means that Adelie now has tons of fun new toys at Papa Ron's house! She looked so cute in her truck!

In crazy news: While outside taking pictures in the ridiculously deep snow, my sister had both mine and her iphones in her pocket. Both fell out as we were moving around the field. Mine was dead, hers on vibrate. It is sheer dumb luck, and after a good 40min of shoveling our footprints that I found both of them! And they both worked just fine! Talk about a panic attack realizing my babies daily pictures were buried in the snow potentially lost forever.

In BIG girl news

Adelie is now scooting backwards. That's one step closer to crawling ;)

Backwards is the new forwards anyways

I enjoyed every minute of sleeping three deep :)

Oh and we found Adelie's hospital hat yesterday :*( Cue the waterworks!

And mid week I caught Lewis accessorizing with a christmas wreath

When we sleep, she curls into me and for a moment I have my belly back :)

Ps This is going on right now on Instagram!! Get in on the action!

We have a momma + mini headband set up for grabs!

Keeping warm by the register in the kitchen ;)

Week 31

Who would have thought it would take a whole week to recuperate from vacation?? We spent almost all week lounging, catching up on naps and cleaning the house.

I completely understand now, why my mother would never leave our house messy before we left for vacation.

I have literally spent all week cleaning up the disaster zone. Which has lead to some very productive cleaning/decorating in the bedroom. We finally have bedding, (we've been sleeping with two separate comforters) and I've been busy decorating the walls. Adelie chimes in her opinions when asked. And when not asked.

Ads has officially been bumped up to size 4 diapers, and her 9m clothes are on the verge of being too small. She is one tall girl!

We have watched the movie Frozen at least a dozen times.<-So incredibly cute!

Adelie has started singing with me!If I start a song she chimes right in, never with the correct words and ~~completely~~ a touch out of tune but the cutest thing I've ever heard. :)

I had a very real dream mid week, that I was pregnant and gave birth to another little girl in the booth of a restaurant.<-I've had several dreams the next one will be a girl. No not hinting at anything ;)

On Wednesday our friends Jenny and Natalie came over for a play date. It was so fun watching the girls play together, now that they can both sit up!!

In food talk, this week we started offering Ads a mesh teether filled with Apple Cinnamon puffs. She wasn't so sure about them at first, but LOVES them now!! You can tell she really loves crunching it with her fresh set of chompers.

On tuesday we are making up her 6m apt, which was rescheduled due to snow and then our florida vaca. Which also means shots

:( Disney movies all day :(

Aunt Jam turned 14 on January 24th!

Adelie Crashed Liams 6m photo shoot

And wrigley + Lewis crashed hers ;)

P.s. we have an extra fur baby this week, Dakota Beck :)

New Valentines headbands were listed in our Etsy store!

I will NEVER get tired of snuggling with her :)

In bedroom/craft news!

p.s. Craft vlogs are back in action this next week! Sorry for the delay/no motivation to due my hair/makeup/my hair dryer died. Wahh Wahh Wahh

I made two paintings for the walls

Then ran to get the mail and returned to...

Wrigley adding his own touches.

My lovely little piece I named "Luna" got a facelift and a new home!

Now that I have all the large pieces moved in, time to decorate the walls and add finishing touches!

I finally decided on a bedspread, a Sparkley grey set, since grey is totally masculine

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

We are currently snowed in, and watching oh-so-many VHS

Week 30

Our trip to Florida was so much fun! We got to enjoy the company of friends we don't get to see that often (Adelie was Ms. Popular) eat great food and watch some amazing sunsets.

The not so great moments include, teething, hot packed airplanes, juggling luggage, cold weather and a little Lady who forgot we are supposed to sleep in on vacation.

I guess only Brandon got that memo...

Adelie did exceptionally well on the Airplanes. Let me just tell you I used to be one of those people who cringed when I saw someone get on with a young baby.<- Not so fun being on the other end. People literally start shaking when they see a baby.

Our only bumps were when we took off and the last 10 minutes of each flight, as she was SO ready to get off the plane and so was momma. She never all out cried, but was pretty restless and super over all her boring non light up toys I had packed for the plane. Luckily I had people who sat by us for both flights tell me how good she did once we landed. THANK YOU KIND PEOPLE.

We only had semi warm weather the day we got there and the day we left! I mean in the high 60's.

wah wah We literally were in our bathing suits one day. And on that day, the locals were in their winter coats and pants.

Adelie officially has four teeth! This morning the upper right finally broke through!

Eating wise she is LOVING the stage 2 foods still. Favs include Mac & Cheese Vegetable beef dinner, and chicken noodle. Oh AND ice cream. <-Like her mama

She is on the verge of crawling, but hasnt quite figured out how to use those strong leggies productively. Speaking of...

I have bruises all over my upper legs from her kicking me when she sleeps with me.

She sleeps in her bed until about 6 when she wakes and I go bring her into our bed, now that we have room!

She is now pretty solid at sitting up, but rocks forward to crawl. Usually ending in a nose dive. She still only rolls from her back to her belly and only to the right. Standing is her favorite and she did so for almost the whole flight.
