4 months

Shaylie is 4 months old. I can't believe it! I really don't know how to describe Shay, because she is the best baby and the cutest one I have ever seen. Ok, so I am the mom, but seriously... Shay is coooing all the time now and has the cutest little giggle. She is very ticklish and loves all the attention. She has become more cuddly, but only when she is tired. I have been enjoying holding her at night before she drifts off and just cuddling her.
She loves her toys and loves to try and eat them. She enjoys listening to the books that I read Mylie at night, and will just sit on my lap and enjoy a good story. Her smile will melt anyone!!! It is so sweet. She sleeps like a champ, still 3 naps and all night. She wakes up at 7ish and wants to eat and will go back down for another 3 hours. She is super strong...she tries to sit up now if I lay her down. She arches her back wanting to get up. She loves to play in the Bumbo too.
Shay has been extra calm the last couple weeks while we were battling sickness. She was very content to just hang out next to me and watch TV for a couple days until I recovered and could play with her.
Mylie loves Shay so much and Shay must love Mylie because she doesn't mind when Mylie is all over her. She is growing so big...
She weighs 13 lbs and 6 oz. 46% and she 24 1/2 inches 71% She is perfect!

So we have been totally missing in action. On the 8th Chris left for a week business trip, I kept myself busy with the girls so the time would go faster. The day he got home, Mylie and I came down with either food poisioning...or the stomach flu. It was awful and we were up most the night. So we recovered for a couple days while Chris took care of us all and then the next day he came down with the much dreaded SWINE!!! He was quarantined in the basement for 5 FULL days to stay away from the girls. The most Mylie saw of her dad was through the window while we were playing outside. So now we are all healthy and feeling quite a bit better. It was a pretty rough 2 weeks. In the middle of all this, our little bro Corey came home from his mission in the Baltics. Chris and Mylie were able to go see him at the airport, but I was still recovering from sickness so I didn't get to go. :( But we are so happy to have him home....My little buddy!

{halloween}

we had a great halloween this year. it was very low key and those are the best kind. friday we headed to fishbowl to see daddy and trick-or-treat his offices. they just recently redecorated the place and it was fun to see all the changes. saturday, chris and i relaxed and cleaned the house and then we got the kiddos ready and took them to karlie & dave's to see the fitch cousies, then to grammy's trunk-or-treat, then we went to visit some of my high school friends, and then we went to hang out with our friends. we ate, played wii, and just had a great night. thanks for all the fun guys!

3 months

our little shaylie baby is already 3 months. she is getting bigger and bigger everyday, but she is as cute as can be. she has some great little chunky leggies... the most squeezable cheekies... let's just say she is the best little girl in the world. mylie is such a little mother and i finally found out where she gets the talking baby talk to shay...thanks grammy mann. shay's hair is coming in and it looks like she will have a good amount. it looks like peach fuzz right now, but she has way more than mylie did. she is getting so strong and holding her head up. she loves to sit in the bumbo and is awake more of the day to enjoy it. she is such a smiler and loves to laugh. she is such a calm baby and loves to just observe what is going on. she is a great sleeper and will sleep from 9:30 - 7:00!
we love you shaylie.

{girls}

girls are so much fun. i have had a great time adjusting to my life with 2 crazy little girls. shay has been so easy and i feel very blessed to have such great babies, now i am just waiting for the harder kids to come. don't worry i am sure they will. mylie is so funny and sooooo sassy! it is hard no to laugh at some of the things that she says, but it will get OLD fast i am sure. some of her favorite sayings right now are: "don't worwy about it."
when disciplining her she walked away and said: "don't talk to me mom"
yelling at me to turn the yights on...i yelled back and said "i already did"...she replies "don't be wude."
when she got a spank she said, "don't push me mom."
she is a handful!!! she is so cute with shay though, she shakes her hand and says "how are you...good"
and she totally talks baby to her. i have no idea where she got it because i definitly don't but she gets in her face and shakes her head and says "a goo goo goo, a goo goo goo."
but i love them.

Sitting so great....but too long!
