Just a rockin'...

Now that Charli can smile and laugh at Gunner, he has decided that he likes her ALOT!!  His favorite thing to do with his sister right now is to rock her...

Come on Charli... let's rock...

Gettin a little lazy about it...

Take a break for some kissin and some huggin

Let's try it this way now!

Don't cry Charli...

and....

I"M DONE!!!

Our Princess is 3 months!!

Charli Brooke you are 3 months old today!  The past 3 months have been so sweet and we have loved every minute of it!

 

Here is what you are up to:

You are wearing size 3-6 month clothing.

You wear a size 1 diaper!

You are sleeping 10 hours at night now!  This is a bittersweet moment for mommy!  I love my sleep but I sure do miss my cuddle bug at that 2 am feeding!  You can feel free to wake up on occasion if you are wanting to be rocked, just don't make it a habit:-) 

You have start laughing out loud and you smile at everyone who talks to you!  You have turned into such a happy little girl! 

You love your bouncy seat and your binky!  You also LOVE to be held most of the time!  We don't mind though because we love to look at your big blue eyes and big smile! 

I have been asked many times if your eyelashes are fake because they are soooo long!  Really people??!!  Fake lashes on a 3 month old! 

This past weekend you and I made a trip to Fort Worth to attend Josh and Jessica's wedding!  You were the perfect angel in the car and didn't make a peep the entire way!  This is quite an improvement considering the first 2 months of your life you screamed to the top of your lungs everytime you were in the car! 

Here are some recent pics of Charli Brooke!  She is such a blessing and I can't quit kissing those fat little cheeks!

First Love...

Well it's already happened....

my 2 year old....

has fallen in love....

with BASEBALL!!!!

For now at least....

I Want To...

…remember the sleepless nights.

…embrace my greasy and root showing hair.

…enjoy the scent of her newborn head.

…smile even when I’m tired.

…rejoice in the chaos.

…hold her as much as I can.

…be thankful for diaper duty.

…focus on what really matters.

…hold her close.

…joyfully endure showerless days.

…breathe deeply.

…love fearlessly.

…revel in her innocence.

…be proud of the dark circles under my eyes.

…feel her heart beat against my chest.

…be bathed in peace.

…accept my body for the beautiful giver of life that it is.

…leave no cheek unkissed.

…have no regrets, for I know all too well that this time with her is fleeting. She will be grown and gone before I can blink my eyes. And I want to make every moment count, now while I still can.

I found this on another blog that I follow and I couldn't resist using it! It is exactly how I feel about my precious babies!!

Happy 2 months to you Charli Brooke! You are such a blessing to our family and we can't imagine life any other way!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame.....

This weekend we made a VERY quick trip to Arlington to take Gunner to his first Major League Baseball game!! He loved every minute of it despite the 110 degree weather! I'm not joking it was so hot that our shirts were wet by the time the game started!





Before we left home we searched and searched for Gunner's baseball glove and realized that it probably got stolen from our front yard. Oops! As soon as we got to the Ranger staduim, Gunner started asking for his ball and glove! I really think that he thought we were going there to PLAY baseball instead of WATCH a baseball game. We got him all fixed up with a Hamilton jersey, Ranger hat, and of course a new glove and ball! I think he was the cutest Ranger fan there but then again I'm a little biased!



Gunner loved the area where the little kids could use their tokens to hit the ball! We stayed there for quite a while before the game started! I think that is going to be a heck of a baseball player! That just thrills his daddy and Pawpaw to death!





This was our view from our seats! Eric was not too happy about the seats I got but that is what he gets for marrying someone who is cheap! I think that little dot down there is Hamilton?!?! Hey its all about the experience right?



Gunner watched the game intensely and held his glove up in the air most of the game. Yes we told him that he might could catch a ball eventhough there was no way they were coming up that high!




We had a blast and loved being able to give Gunner some one on one attention! He was pooped by the time we left and was asleep before we even got to the hotel! We were ready to come home and see our baby girl though! Thanks Pawpaw and Yaya for watching Charli for us!

It was HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!

This past weekend we went to Lake Granbury for the first time this Summer and it was also Charli's first lake trip! She did so good and was the perfect lake baby!!


Tanner and his girlfriend Anna were there too! Oh the carefree days of not having kids!


This year was actually a lot LESS stressful than last year because Gunner was old enough to not walk off the dock! He loved the water and the boat! He loves drivin!


Here are some random pics from our trip:

Eric's Best Friend Chris and his wife Lauren came to meet Charli!


Too many cervezas perhaps?? or maybe it was the heat!



AND I saved the best for last! Here is Charli in her first bikini!!


We can't wait to go back!!
