Three Whole Months!!

Our baby girl has now been alive for a fourth of a year! She is getting bigger every day and starting to really discover lots of new things... like her hands. It's so cute how she sits and stares at them, well, it. She likes her right hand a lot.
She is just about filling up her travel pack 'n play too! It's about time to break out the real crib soon! We are so excited that we'll be doing this soon when we move to Louisville. I'll post about that in the next couple of days, as we have more definitive information about what we're doing and where.

Sweet girl!

I'm so relieved that this child actually likes her dad's beard. I was worried it would make her cry, because it's kind of sharp, but she seems to not mind at all! We are so in love with this baby and so grateful to have had these first days with her. Children truly are a heritage from the Lord...

Powerwash Fun

My husband has a new love: my brother's powerwasher. If you question Grant's affection for this machine, look closely at the porch and see the symbol of his devotion...
He spent the entire day yesterday washing off my parent's back patio...
Their sidewalk and part of the driveway...
and the entire fence...
I have to admit, we were all blown away by the power of that thing! We just stood and watched him like deer in the headlights. It was amazing!!!!!!!! We just might have to save up for one of those things!

Shopping Will Wear a Girl Out!

Mom and I took Naomi to the Holiday Mart in Overland Park today. This is what we came home with...

Naomi Meets Blaire...

Last night, my daughter met Blaire. Blaire is a special friend because she is the daughter of my childhood friend, Abbey. Abbey and I were born six weeks apart and our mothers were the best of friends. We grew up together through our little kid years and have so many wonderful memories - and some great home movies! She now lives in KC with her sweet family and without planning one bit, we ended up having daughters just six months apart!

It was so fun for my mom to see Abbey and I with our girls, and it certainly was fun for Blaire! That sweet little girl, at just nine months, has an uncanny love for babies! It was so cute... she just couldn't get enough of Naomi.

Maybe one day, Abbey and I will be taking pictures of them with their daughters... :)

Not Quite Ready Yet...

for sunglasses! Lol...

More Visits!

We visited Grant's mom on Sunday, had a nice catch up with her, then went over to my brother's house for dinner.

The girls took a little nap time on the flowery chairs...

And Grant and I got to hold Lillian for the first time! We were so excited!

Friday Night Lights

One of the most fun things we have been doing during our time in Kansas City is going to all of my brother's high school varsity football games on Friday nights. We take the baby every week and she does fabulously. She typically sleeps the whole time and onlookers gaze upon her in all her baby cuteness. :) Such a fun memory to be here this season. The team is doing incredibly, by the way. 6-1! On our way to regionals - GO LANCERS!!!

Cousin Annie was at the game this last weekend - such a cute shot with her and her soda!
