Holly-days: June 2016

The last few days have had a lot of landmarks. I kinda feel like a crazy mom that I keep track of these things but whatevs! Ronnie and I had our 5 year anniversary on June 24th, also the same day that Beckett turned 9 months (9 months in, 9 months out!) and then June 25th was Ruby's half birthday. And that means half way to Christmas, people! Wow. Anyways I wanted to write a little about these little people mostly for myself to remember these things. I love these kids so much.

So Ruby at 2 1/2. She is so much fun. She is finally starting to talk more. She's putting 2 and 3 words together, and sometimes even little sentences. I get so excited when she's able to tell me something! She has such a sense of humor. Like when I want her to say something she will say something completely different. So kind of stubborn too! She is only going to talk when she feels like it! And that's okay, whatever your timetable is sweet Ruby! She loves her little brother (she calls him Bubby). It was a little rough when he got really mobile and wanted to follow her around everywhere. She started playing with her toys in the bathroom with the door shut! But lately she has been a little better at sharing! Her favorite things are The Octonauts (which she calls Octis) and My Little Pony. She loves helping daddy. As you can see from the photo below! She also loves daddy to sing her to sleep. It's the sweetest thing ever, and I kinda love it.

Beckett at 9 months. We call him Bubs, Bub Bub, Bubby. I think it's just something about chubby babies. He has changed so much in the last month! It makes me feel all sentimental! Like where did my baby go? He is 24 pounds and didn't grow out of any clothes this month (a first!). I think it's because of all the exercise he's been getting. He is seriously always on the move... climbing the stairs, crawling, and pulling up on everything. He is starting to get some hair. But it's so blonde you can't really see it. Still no teeth but I can see the two on the bottom trying to come up, I feel like he's been teething for ages! But the biggest change is that he's been sleeping through the night! It's amazing especially since he would wake up every 1-2 hours his first 8 months of life/ wanted to nurse constantly so I kinda feel like I deserve this. So very thankful and hoping it keeps up! I have been feeling so much better and like a better mom too. But a little part of me misses that he doesn't need me as much anymore.

^I had to take a couple photos to commemorate his chubbiness! I don't know how long it will last!

^Always, always on the move!

Does anyone else feel guilty when they post more pictures of one kid versus another? Haha! It's just hard to take pictures of toddlers and it's becoming hard to take them of the Bubs too. I promise I love them equally! Plus I probably have like 300 more pictures of Ruby when she was a baby. Yeah, crazy mom over here haha.

Hey! It's been awhile. We have been busy getting settled into our new place and figuring things out. We were super lucky that the movers actually showed up early (a miracle!) so by the time we got to PA, Ronnie had done all the unpacking. It was amazing! What a guy! So I've just been organizing and decorating and hanging stuff up on the walls in between chasing after these 2 kids. Since we got here Beckett has become super mobile. He's crawling, pulling up, climbing stairs and most of all driving his older sister crazy. He just won't leave her alone! And these stairs are driving me a little crazy. It's a 3 floor town home so I feel like I'm going up and down all day and usually carrying a baby. Where are those muscles at? Should be showing up soon am I right?? But I am so so grateful for all this space. It's so nice having a place for everything and 3 bedrooms! So, here are a few photos from our life lately.
