Presely's 4 month check-up

4 months already!!! She is now 25 inches long and weighs in at 13.6 lbs. This puts her in the 95% for height and 75% for weight. I just LOVE this little girl. Lia also needed a flu shot so we put her on the scale to check- I want to hear your guess of how much you think my 2 and a half year old weighs..........

Baby Charlie



My baby sister had her baby on December 5th!!! Here are a few of his adorable pics that Aunt Em took!!

3 months old



Three months old- seriously where does the time go? Our little Presley is three months old this week!! She is now sleeping 9 hours a night (thank you Baby Wise)!!! Her eyes are somewhere between blue and green- so we will have to wait to see what happens with them. She is talking and chatting all the time along with her big smiles. She is so much fun to have in our family!! We had our family pics taken last week so look for those coming soon :)

Two month check up

OK so I know this is a like a week late but I wanted to share the info from Presley's two month check up. She was 80% in height and 50% in weight. She now weighs 10.5 lbs!!! She is growing so fast but is still was smaller than Lia was at her age, she was always in the 95% or above in both!! Presley has been such a joy for me- I love her more than I ever thought possible. I honestly don't know why I didn't have her sooner. She was started to smile and it is so adorable because she only has one little dimple. I love that Lia has a little sister and they can be the best of friends!!

Happy Halloween


This year Lia was a pink poodle named Fifi!! She was adorable. This was the first year that she went out trick-or-treating. I took her around the neighborhood and we hit up all the houses of her little friends and the other YW leaders. She was so funny, at first she thought it was like a sharing thing and would take some candy out of her bucket and give it back!! She also invited herself into a few houses (luckily they all knew who she was :) She just loved it- it was so much fun to see her excitement when the doorbell would ring and she could give out some candy!!

This what Presley wore all day- I thought it was funny and could not pass up buying it- even though she is only going to wear it once!

HUNGRY????

Presley was this hilarious hot dog this year!!

We hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween this year and have made it through the Halloween aftermath- coming down off the sugar high :)

Trouble Maker

Lia has been getting her two-year-old self in a little bit of trouble lately.

During the chaos of Presley's blessing Lia snuck into our bedroom and got into my body cream. She used almost the whole jar on her face- silly kid!!

Yesterday I was getting ready with Lia in the room- she was on the bed watching a show. I heard the cat cry outside to come in and went to let him in and by the time I got back to my room Lia had opened my mascara, applied it, and put the lid back on. When I caught her she said, "Mom, I just wanted to share with you"!!! She is a hoot!! The funny thing is that she kinda did a good job getting it on her eyelashes!!

Hay Ride

This past weekend we headed out to Black Island Farms for a fun Hay Ride

Lia loved the Hay Ride

Her favorite part was going up and down the stairs

Daddy helped her pick the perfect pumpkin- we are going to carve them tomorrow!!

There are no pics of me because I was behind the camera with little Presley in her sling :)

Body World Exhibit


Today me and Taz (along with Presley) went the Body World Exhibit downtown. Lia stayed home with Grammy H.- thanks again trusty sitter ;) It was so cool and we loved it. I totally recommend it- but you don't really need the audio guide. You cannot take pics inside so this was our lame attempt to snap a self portrait outside. After we had lunch at our fav Rumbi!! Thanks for the great morning honey- I love you!!

Pumkinaze

Our little family went to this cool corn maze yesterday called Pumkinaze. There was a really fun slide on hay bails and here are a few ways we slid down them...

Yes, this is me with Presley in the sling taking Lia down- she insisted!!

Lia and Daddy going down together.

Lia was so excited Daddy went down upside down!!!

All by herself :) And here is the fun corn maze....



There were tons of fun things for the little ones to do....



Happy Halloween season :)

Baby Dee

This is my darling baby sister Heidi who is having a baby boy in December. She is naming him Charly- not Baby Dee which is the name of the post. Baby Dee is what I used to call her when we were babies because I could not say Heidi (we were only 15 months apart- cut me a break, I could barely talk when she was born :) I love you so much and can't wait to meet the little guy!!!


Once again- thanks Aunt Em!!!!! And Happy B-Day Robin, I love you :)

A Blessed Day

Today my amazing husband blessed our sweet new baby girl. He gave her the most incredible blessing and I am so thankful for him and the wonderful father he is to our girls. Thank you to all the friends and family that came- we really love you!!!
I thought I would try to get Lia's hair to curl, but unfortunately she was cursed with my hair and it just won't curl. Anyway here is a pic of her in her curlers.

My mom made both the girls dresses for this special day. Here is Lia in her new dress.

Presley's dress was so beautiful- thanks again mom :)

Our perfect little Presley Kristine Decker
