5 Months Old!

Our little peanut will be 6 months in 1 week.  How. is. that. possible.  

I am not going to lie - going from 1 to 2 kiddos was a bit more of a shock to me than I thought.  However, time goes way faster this time around than it did with Addi so I am remembering that the tough times will pass.  

Since time goes so quickly I have been trying to take more pictures!  Picking up the camera more often has been so nice- I really love being behind the lens.  I feel like I am finally understanding how to actually use it (but still need lots of practice!) and how to organize my photos in order to edit and do something with them.

The first batch I have been so anxious to get together is Savannah's monthly pictures!  You forget how little they are- she was so tiny!  Her round face sure hasn't changed though!

Such a happy little girl!  We are so blessed!

Five for Friday: Addison Edition

Addison has been saying and doing some things lately that I want to remember and cherish- she is just so stinkin cute!

ONE

Her sentences and phrases are cracking us up!  

"Addi go to work sometimes."  

"I got it"   

"Addi wore that when little baby"

(startles sister awake) "'nannah not sleeping!  'nannah eyes open!"

TWO

She is afraid of the funniest things.  For example a hip hop dance on So You Think You Can Dance, Ellie (our dog) wearing bows on her ears after the groomer, and a piece of fuzz floating in the water during bath.  She now takes bubble baths so I don't have to spend most of the bath time trying to fish out the tiniest speck floating around while she cries that it's going to get her.

THREE

The week before she turned two we started asking her how old she was and she quickly would say "four."  Cracked us up.  The best part is when you ask her to count to five she counts "one, two, three, five."  

FOUR

She adores her sister.  She can't keep her hands off her.  She is constantly asking to hug her, hold her, tickle her, etc.  Savannah's eyes light up and she smiles so big.  I never thought a bond between the two of them could be shown so early on!  I swear I say "gentle" 500 times a day.

FIVE

After watching Eric play his church softball game Addi so sweetly, with her arms out in confusion, said "no sing song!"  After a moment we realized she meant "Take me out to the ballgame"  I guess she was paying attention when we were at the Cardinals game last weekend.  You betcha we sang it with her on the car ride home!

Linking up with 

The Four Februarys!

This is seriously too much fun!  And God is so good!  The most important thing to start this post off with is that there are 4 healthy babies and healthy pregnancies.  What a blessing!

Now, a little background...
- Katie and Erica find out they are pregnant and due towards the beginning of February.
- Emily finds out she is pregnant and tells Katie and Erica that she is due in February.
- Katie and Erica decide to surprise Emily with their news once all first appointments are done.
- Chelsey finds out she is pregnant.
- Katie and Erica surprise Emily during a "picture" (it was actually a video) of the three of them with their exciting news.
- All three are due within 10 days of each other!
- Chelsey tells her news and makes it now four of us due within 21 days of each other!

Did you get all that?  So exciting!

Sam and Chelsey found out they are having a sweet little girl.  They have two boys and wanted to tell their oldest the exciting news along with the news of a brother or sister.  It's going to be adorable watching those brothers swoon over a baby sister.

Meanwhile, Erica goes to her gender sonogram and has to keep it quiet for two weeks until Katie and Emily go to theirs.

We had all gone shopping prior and picked out a girl outfit and a boy outfit that we would then buy once we knew the gender that we would pull out of a bag to be the reveal.  

So then party time came!  Goodness was it hard talking about the baby and not slipping a he or she!

Predictions were made

Food was prepped

We also did the same for Chelsey but not written down since we knew they were having a girl, and her wives tales all pointed to girls as well!

Then came the moment of reveal!

Getting the outfits ready...

THREE MORE GIRLS!!!!!

Chelsey was out of town unfortunately... we will get a picture with her next time!

All the daddys and their sweet little girl outfits!  So cute! :)

I am still in shock that 4 little Valentine girls will be headed our way!

We also did some games.  Pretty fun!  The kid count will double!  From 4 to 8!

Oh and a hot air balloon stopped by the party too 

God is so good!  We are blessed!
