It's November, y'all!

I'm so pumped for November, if only for the cooler weather! My big girl turns 6 next week, I can hardly believe it. But, before we enjoy the month of November, let's recap the month of October, shall we?

Lily started to giggle in October. She talks more & smiles all the time.


I found out my name is on the 10th Anniversary Fantasy box. If you know me, you know I'm a HUGE Britney fan. This made my month!


I made these yummy omelets for Sunday brunch. Recipe here.


Lily went for her 3 month checkup. DR said she's a month ahead on everything! She is already trying to crawl!


My girls continue to grow closer and closer. Gracie loves being Lily's big sister. <3


Paul got free front row endzone seats from Davin Joseph of the Tampa Bay Bucs for building an entire gym for a local high school. It's the second year in a row Paul has done this. :)


We had such a great time at the game together. It was a well needed grownups night!


We go on nightly walks now, thanks to the cool fall weather.


I took Lily's 3 month photos in her Mouse costume. The cutest little mouse you've ever seen!


Lily went to the park for the first time and liked the swing!


She also went on the slide with her big sissy. The girls had a great time at the park together. :)


Lily enjoyed her first Halloween! Even tho she slept thru the entire thing. haha


I also enjoyed playing dress up! Meow!


I made Jack O Lantern burgers for Halloween dinner. Kids & Hubs loved them!


And last but not least, my spooky little family. Paul as SNL's Drunk Uncle, Jordan is a Zombie Banana & Gracie is a Lalaloopsy.


October was a fun month! Looking forward to November. Family, friends, yard sales, Thanksgiving, Birthday party, Fall weather, etc, etc. Lot's of good stuff to look forward to. Hope you all had a nice October & a fun Halloween!

Little girls are love

Yesterday, Lily turned 3 months old and had her monthly checkup. Her dr says shes a month ahead on everything for her age. He's amazed at how she's already trying to crawl and scoot across the floor. She can already turn herself in a complete circle when shes on her tummy. It's pretty unreal! I love watching her discover new things everyday. We also learned she has colic. I also had colic as a baby, so maybe it's because I also had it? She has had some issues with sleeping alone the past few weeks due to it. But, last night she slept in her crib all night long without any issues. I'm so glad! I enjoy being able to move around in my bed without having to worry about disturbing her or anything. She's such a happy smiling baby too. I've never seen a baby smile so much in my life! Just seeing her smile, lights up everyone around her. She's so sweet!

Since finding out about her colic, I went on the ol google hunt for help. Which led me to Gripe Water. The following day, after a long night of no sleeping we went out and got some, which I now refer to as magic water. As soon as it was in her, like seconds, it was working. Her hiccups (which she gets two times a day, at least) are gone and shes no longer in any kind of gas pain. This stuff really is magical! I highly recommend it to fellow moms whose babies are colicky. Believe me, you'll thank me later.

Gracie's birthday is right around the corner. We are having her 6th birthday party at Laser Tag this year. She's been asking to do this for about two years now. When Jordan had his party there two years ago, she told us she needed to have her 6th birthday party there too. She has every birthday party planned for the next 3 years, in her head. haha. She's so funny! Next year is Legoland!

This week I need to get Lily's 3 month photos done. I have a bunch of ideas, I just need to get it done! Fingers crossed it doesn't take me three weeks. lol

Anyway, that's it for now. Currently marathon-ing through Revenge season 2 on Netflix. Love this show!

5 Years.

Gracie - 3 months old

Five years ago today I gave birth to the sweetest baby girl anyone could ask for! I can't express how proud I am to say that Gracie is my daughter. She's so smart & such a great little girl. She of course made it clear to everyone she came in contact with at school today that today was her birthday & she was 5! I'm leaving in about 20 minutes to bring her class cupcakes & juice for her special day. She's so excited! After school, we're taking her to her favorite restaurant for lunch, Chili's. Should be a great day for my little one!

Happy Birthday, princess! We love you SO much!!
