4 Month Letter to GJ

Dear Gracie June,

You have become the sweetest little girl ever! I have so much fun with you. I love to just watch you and talk to you. You smile at just about anything. You sleep all night long still and barely ever cry anymore. We can put you in the swing now and you are starting to like it.

This months firsts:

You moved up a class at daycare and you love your new class.

You were in Aunt Sissy's wedding

You had your first Halloween. You were a ghost, and the cutest ghost I've ever seen.

You've started grabbing your toys and shoving them in your mouth.

You try to hold your own bottle, and sometimes we let you do it all by yourself.

look how cute you are in the shirt your "Granny June" got you!

Things you're loving:

Your bottle (you know exactly what it is every time you see it and you start trying to pull yourself toward the bottle when we show it to you), snuggling, your passy, when anyone talks to you (especially your daddy), watching tv (yes we let you watch tv just like your brother did when he was your age), bath time, "talking" to Mommy and Daddy, bouncing on our laps, and watching your brother play.

I can't believe how fast time is going by. You are just so precious and I love everything that you do. I pray that you can already tell how much you are loved by all of us. You are truly a little blessing from God. I can't wait to see all the new things you do this month.

I love you sweet girl! 

Love, 

Mommy

Halloween Trick-or-Treating

We had a lot of fun trick-or-treating this year. We decided to go with our small group and in one of their neighborhoods. Caycen was a scarecrow and Gracie June was a ghost this year. I have SO MUCH FUN making their costumes every year!!! Which, I guess the only thing I really had to make for Caycen was his straw… I bought him Carhart overalls and a plaid shirt, and a friend let me borrow the hat. SIMPLE! Then for Gracie June's ghost costume, I just made the white tutu out of tulle and then bought a white onesie and put the ghost face on their using vinyl. So neither costume took very long this year, but they were so PRECIOUS!

Caycen kept saying "That not scary Mommy"

Had to get a picture with a scarecrow!

This sweet girl was up almost the entire time we were there! She was sooo good!

haha, not sure what Gracie June is thinking here, but Caycen's pretty excited to eat some candy!

and Caycen was HOT after :) but it was SO FUN!!!

Can't wait for next year! I'm sure Caycen will want to pick his own costume though.

3 month letter to GJ

Dear 3 month old Baby GJ,

This past month has been so much fun watching you grow and seeing you starting to interact with us. I am falling more in love with you every single day!

This month's firsts:

We took the sling out of your bathtub this month, which you absolutely LOVE! You love to sit in the bathtub and kick your feet!

You got your ears pierced this month and only cried for a few minutes. Don't you look so purdy!!!

Things you are loving:
Sleeping, eating, cuddling, watching Caycen, laying on your back, bath time, squealing, your Daddy, talking to Mommy, baby tv, the momaroo, and cooing and smiling at us.

You're the sweetest little girl in the world!!! I love you baby girl!

Love,
Mommy

Fall Festival and Halloween Hike 2013

Caycen had a busy day on Friday, October 18th. First he started the day out at daycare where they were having their fall festival. He did lots of fun Activities that morning. His Nona went to spend the morning with him at the festival. Then at around lunchtime, I got to go up there for a little bit. Unfortunately, I missed all the activities but it was still fun to see my little pumpkin in the middle of the day! He was so sweet with all his friends!

Mason, Caycen, and Kendall

 Then that night we decided to go to Oatland Island again this year for some costume dress up and trick or treating. It was so much fun! Ella Kate and Caycen had the best time! Everyone kept saying just how cute they were. They were so funny chasing after each other, laughing hysterically for no reason, and holding hands. It was precious!

cracking up at each other

They got to meet lots of animals that gave them treats, they saw Mother Goose, and even went on a little hayride. When we went inside they got to see snakes and an opossum named Petunia. 

 

they are the sweetest things EVER!!!!

Of course, Gracie June slept most of the time. Don't worry, she will be dressing up for Halloween!

I think this will be a little Fall tradition :)
