Happy birthday Sam and Mommy

I basically just want documentation that no I didn't forget that I am a year old and Samantha is 3. We had a blast and it has been a busy few weeks that doesn't look to calm down till after Christmas.

We celebrated Sam's birthday at A Play Place... a great indoor place I found in Trussville for her birthday last year. It has a bouncy house and slide, big tree house with a slide and arcade games. It is always a blast and super affordable! We had a great turn out and most of all Samantha had a blast! I can't wait till next year when we will be chasing her and Syd around having so much fun!

We Are Rolling

Sydney is a mover. She has always been able to some how move so much that she twist and turns

well now she is rolling! She rolled from her back to her stomach this weekend and she wasn't to sure about it. She started fussing because some how she was on her stomach and she didn't like it

Family Pictures

A Little Visit

(Sorry a little blurry.. this was taken with my phone of the actual picture)

We attended Sam's daycare church festival last night. Sam had a blast and was so excited to see Santa and Ms. Claus. Sydney was baby Jesus in the live nativity scene so I wasn't able to see Sam's visit with Santa but Greg and mom said that she was so excited and told him that see "TeeTeed in the potty like a big girl" It was a great night and both she and Sydney were worn out when we got home.

3 Months Old

I can't belive that my baby is 3 Months old. A little sad because I know that she is my last and it's the last time that we will have such a little baby!

I probably should rephrase that since she is no little baby. She doesn't have a nickname of Big Baby for nothing. She weighed 13lbs 2 oz at her 2 month appt so I would assume she is around or over 14lbs by now. She loves to eat!

Sydney also has to sit up at all times! She can't stand to be reclined back not be able to see all that is going on. She wants to be a big girl like her sister so bad!

While she is similar to Sam in a lot of ways - She HATES the car! Most babies love the car not our Syd- she usually fusses at you the whole time.

When she is tired you know it- she fusses until you pop that paci in (the only time she will take it) and give her elephant blanket- but hey if that is not available any blanket she can cover her face up with will do. I am constantly checking to make sure she hasn't completely covered herself to where she can't breathe but if you move it before she is deeply asleep - she wakes up and shows her irritation!

But she is such a sweet natured baby and will "talk" you all day if you'll talk back. She loves her big sister and vice versa. The other day one of the daycare workers asked if Sam wanted to go home with her and she said yes, but we got to take my sister too.

We have truly been blessed to have such sweet wonderful girls!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This weekend we got our tree out or as Sam calls it "Christmas". We had a blast decorating it and it was so exciting that Sam was able to help this year (of course we had all shatterproof ornaments and the ones that weren't were hung by me or Greg up top). We had gone to Walmart to let Sam pick out an ornament as a new tradition for each year and of course she choose a pack that included all the characters from Tinkerbell- we are all things Tinkerbell right now.





While Sydney did sleep through the process she did awaken to see the final results and you could tell she was unsure of what the tree was but completely fascinated by it and all the lights.



Sam also had to instruct her on how you place an ornament on the tree using her new tinkerbell ornaments. Which by the way are off the tree right now b/c it is an hourly thing to take them off and put the back on. They all are on the same branch in a bunch and please don't think you can touch them or move them. It will go noticed!

"More Eagle"

Football is a big staple in our house this time of year. We have it on the tv Saturday and Sunday, all day no matter who's playing but especially if Alabama or Auburn are playing. Me, I can personally sit there with a book and read or play with the girls. Greg went to Auburn and is a huge Auburn fan. I lean more towards Alabama but at the end of the day if he is happy with who won I am too. This Saturday is the big Alabama/Auburn game. We have the girls shirts ready, plans to gather at a friend's house and have a great time. Greg doesn't expect much from the game this year b/c in his words Auburn is not doing it's best and he has basically moved on to the Championship game where we will hopefully see LSU and Alabama in a rematch. But for now as Sam says "More Eagle!"
