It's a Cinderella thing

Lately all Jaida ever wants to wear is her Cinderella costume! Everywhere we go she has this on. What makes it even better is she pairs it with her pink princess moon boots. I love that whenever I take her picture she puts her hands on her hips!

Go Ravens!

This year the Baltimore Ravens made it to the Superbowl! Trent's boss, Dan, gave this to Allie to wear. Doesn't she look festive? Haha pretty funny!

Mall Story time

This time at the mall story time the only thing Jaida seemed to care about were the Handi-Snacks tucked in my purse. Sometimes my vision of going to these things and having a "fun" time together doesn't always happen. We ended up skipping out early and heading to the play land then the carousel instead! Of course we ended with our cinnamon pretzel treat.

Sweet sisters

It doesn't get much better than this... Two cute girls snuggled up on the couch. Times like this is when it makes all the hard stuff worth it.

1 month old-Allie

Allie's first month proved to be a challenge. If you haven't already figured it out, my babies don't like to do things the easy way. Luckily Allie really is such a good baby. After bringing Allie home we decided she was looking pretty jaundice and wasn't feeding very well. She wasn't waking up to eat and was so lethargic. After a visit to the pediatrician, it was decided that she actually had a pretty bad case of breast milk jaundice. So we actually had to put her on formula to help clear out the junk! I had never heard of such a thing. Plus her weight gain was nonexistent so this would help that too. So after about 3 weeks of doing that and pumping. She decided that she wasn't going to nurse anymore. So now I'm pumping for her and bottle feeding. It was a huge pain in the beginning, but now I realize how nice it is to have so many feeding helpers. She is eating like a champ now and gaining weight and she is the best sleeper. What more can you ask for?

Late Night Snack

This cute little girl asked in the cutest, sweetest voice if she could have some juice and toast before bed... Lets face it I'm a sucker and totally gave in! I couldn't resist.
I did pay for it for a whole week. When she realized it got her out if going to bed when the others did, she began asking every single night. Then when I'd say no (*mean mom alert*) she would cry and cry that she was hungry.
I still love that little munchkin!

Happy Birthday TBird

This year Trent turned the big 37. He is slowly inching his way to the 4-0 mark. We had a pretty low key birthday for him and let him pick what he wanted to do. Of course it included a trip to Bass Pro Shop. The kids love that place. They each took turns naming the huge catfish Brock chose the name "Whiskers" Pierce chose "Fat Cat" and Jaida "Bubba"! Somehow the only ones who came out with any purchase at the store was Pierce and Brock. Brock got a bow and arrow and Pierce a sling shot. Later that night we had cake and ice cream.
We are sure grateful for Tbird/Daddy! He makes our lives happy. Thanks for working so hard for our family. Love you.
