We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary on September 2nd. We decided "no gifts" this year. On the 1st, Colton got off work early, bought me flowers and surprised me at home. I got him a "Happy September 1st" present. Looks like we both enjoy breaking the rules ;)
Playing at the park
It's adorable to watch your kids make friends and socialize.
I'm pretty sure she splashed in every puddle
This girl knows how to enjoy snack time. Kicked back, relaxing.
She LOVES to go for rides in her baby doll's stroller
WICKED
Colton bought me tickets to Wicked back in November 2014 for Christmas... then I found out I was pregnant in January and due in September. My first thought was "Well, I better not have to miss Wicked!... and i didn't! I MADE IT! Friday, September 4th, Colton and I went and saw Wicked! We go to a play or two together every year (it's our fun little "different" date night tradition we started when dating) and we both have wanted to see Wicked for a very long time. It was/is phenomenal! If you haven't been, GO. Go now! We might have to name our baby Elphaba or Glinda ;)
This girl loves her puzzles
Sunday dinner at my parent's farm
Paige loves it outside!
Always putting things on her head to make people laugh
My mom got Paige this adorable elephant stepping stool and she is obsessed with it. One day while making dinner I hear her yelling "ELP!!!"(Help) I go in to find her booty stuck in the stool and she can't get out. So of course I had to take a picture before rescuing her. haha!
Playing the harmonica and helping dad water the yard
She's slightly obsessed with Care Bears (she will sing you the theme song if you ask)
Our last full day together, just Paige and I
Monday, September 14th
I went to bed the night before having every intention of going nowhere and doing absolutely nothing Monday. I was exhausted from having painful contractions since Friday and not sleeping more than 3 hours a night. But somehow, I woke up after sleeping just 2 hours and had a TON of energy! I made us a giant breakfast, we went to the park to play for an hour and a half then came home for a short nap. After her nap, Paige and I packed our lunch and headed to Colton's work to have lunch with dad. It was fun visiting him and he didn't stop smiling the whole time! On the way home, I had to pee so bad but don't like having to stop with a toddler. It's a lot of work getting them in and out for a quick stop. I decided to stop at Chick Fil A so Paige could play, for the first time on a play place playground I might add, and get us a peach shake (If you haven't ever had one from there, go. go now!). She played for close to 2 hours and we split a treat. We got home and she took a 3.5 hour nap. I eventually had to wake her up to go meet Colton and his dad at Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Colton's boss' sister and her daughter's house burned down and Texas Roadhouse was donating 10% of all purchases to their family so of course we had to support them! After dinner, we came home and the three of us played together until bedtime. Little did we know, that would be the last time the 3 of us were together and things were "calm and normal" before little sister decided to start making her way here the next day.
9/14 park play
9/14 Chick Fil A
My Dancing with the Stars partner everyone :)
Sharing her Costco hot dog with me
Paige calls her "sissy" (sister)
When she's awake, she is almost always scowling and looking concerned haha
Milk drunk smiles
Meeting Rayleigh, Allyson and Oliver for the first time
Krazy Air 9/28 with our friends the Holmstroms! Yes, I jumped. Yes, it was fun, Yes I did a flip.
She loves bean and cheese burritos.. Hairstyle credit to dried beans
She's all about making her toys kiss each other lately.. I wonder where she learned that one from :)
Cut my hair short and went to lunch with my girl!
She's teething so she's constantly gnawing her fingers off
When all your baby wants to do is snuggle and hold your hand, you let them.
Paige is really big into telling people and dogs to "sit" haha!
Love her big eyes :)
3 days old at the park
A lady came up to me and asked "where did you get such a real life looking baby doll?" Oh, you have NO idea that comebacks I had for her question...
Paige loves the swings
Meeting Colton's dad, her Poppy, for the first time
Jade met her cousin Brand when she was only a few days old but still has yet to meet her cousins Cole and Ember
Her hands are constantly up by her face! It's precious.
We have LOVED the month of September. Mostly because we added the perfect little girl to our family! She really is a little dream baby. She sleeps 7 hours at night, eats and sleeps another 4. Paige had a couple of rough days being sick and teething the day after we brought Jade home but we all survived. She now loves her sister so much! We taught her to not touch or pick her up except she's allowed to tickle her feet so that's pretty much all she wants to do. I am so grateful for my girls! I can't even explain how happy I am in my life. I have the best husband, beautiful, healthy girls, and amazing family members and friends.
The Girl Who Always Loves September,
Erica
