Somebody turned nine months old this month! She is really into waving and saying several sounds: da da da da (dada), ma ma ma ma (mama), na na na na (no idea), "puh" (puppy), "aaaah" (avaree), buh buh buh (baby for her little dolly).
We traded off with Mrs. Holly for date evening the other day, and we went to eat and to Hobby Lobby! :)
I finally found something that will buy me 15 minutes. I was paying bills at the desk, and look who was all about "Baby Faith!" :) Don't tell Daddy she was touching the tv! ;)
I finally got a grown up table (with more than 2 chairs, and my babies are safer)!!! I LOVE it!!!!
I finally picked up Avaree's school pictures. Oh my. Melt my heart. She looks so old here!
….and do you see anything wrong with this picture? haha
I also got to have coffee with these sweet girls to celebrate Tara's 30th a couple of weeks ago!!!! It was so so wonderful. :) Also, my sweet friend, Jamie, is having a baby GIRL in May! I can't wait!
In other news, Felicity is standing up in her crib ALL THE TIME. This makes falling asleep on her own a little more complicated. Hopefully the novelty of it will wear off soon! ;)
…and here is our big girl! :)
She still loves people food, except for oatmeal and mum mums. :)
Meet Buzz Lightyear, the life-size balloon. He was the culprit of many late night screams from Mommy. He moved around at night, and he always scared me half to death! After four days and nights with us, he found his way to the garage, and then he eventually went to balloon heaven. ;) Avaree sure did love him though! She carried him around everywhere, and she wanted him to sleep by her bed!!
We had a couple of really cold days, so we had to pull out some old toys. They actually played for at least an hour with the legos, and there was no whining or fighting!! YAY!!!
…and of course the little house is always a hit!
Happy face! And, yes, I did take my Christmas tree down. I just had to wait for a Christmas tree bag to come in, since B threw my box away!
Kendall came over one COLD morning, and she and Avaree read Frozen over and over again! :)
…and I found THIS on my phone! ;)
Avaree has LOVED playing school lately! I will say that she isn't the nicest teacher I have ever had, and she loves that pointer! ;)
Daddy says that he will not be her student again! hahaha
We had lunch with these cuties one Sunday after church!!! We loved visiting with them!!!
…and one more of our sissy on her nine-month birthday!! :)
I'll do a whole other post on this later, but this is Maximus. Avaree and Daddy took a little road trip to go pick him up in Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago.
Much more to come! January has been busy, full of fun, crazy, and full of sickness! :) Sounds about like our usual, eh? :) Thankful for my family!
