Much needed trip

Jason and me went to Galax VA and surrounding areas for 3 days. I surprised him with a quick trip to the mountains and we stayed in a awesome affordable cabin! It was so relaxing and romantic!! We went on hikes, watched TV uninterrupted, went to wineries and shopped and checked out downtown Galax. We really needed a break, not having immediate family or close friends by is hard because we never get a break. Eventually if no one gets a break someone starts to break from exhaustion so this trip was a good reboot.

Colin 7 months

Dear Colin,

I cant believe you are 7 months old. You are developing such an awesome personality. You are so sweet and happy I am the luckiest Mom there is! You started crawling at the end of your 6 month. Once you started you haven't stopped. You also learned to stand up this month. You spend most of your time going around trying to grab things and stand up. You constantly have bruises from falling even though me and your big brother are always behind you. You have also learned to say MaMa, DaDa and Baba. Your language development is really surprising I think it is because you constantly have either me or Liam talking to you! You are still on the smaller side at 16.8 pounds and 28 inches. At this point you are growing better and we do not have to go to weight checks every week. We stopped breastfeeding this month and you are on formula full time now. I thought I would feel really bad, but you seem fuller and more content so in this case Happy Baby=Happy Mommy! You have also started eating solid foods. You love sweet potatoes, squash, broccoli, avocado, and turkey fruit medley. I can't make all your baby food, but I make about half of it.  You are growing up on me way too fast. I though it flew by with Liam, but it is going even faster with you. We love snuggling and playing everyday. You light up when you see Me, Liam or your Dad. You always wake up happy and ready for the day even at 5:30. Your sleep has improved you no longer wake up in the middle of the night. You normally sleep until 6:30, but sometimes have earlier days.  You are such a joy and complete our family. We Love You Colin!!!

Love,
Mommy

 

 

 

 

Liam is 3!!!

Liam had a great 3rd birthday. This year we did a Brave theme since it is his favorite movie. This year we did it at my parents house because Jason and me had just came back from the mountains plus I knew with a small baby I would need lots of help! Here are a few pictures of all the fun that we had!
