Fallyn // Week 39

On our way to church! Once again in matching outfits .. I know I'm going to for sure get into trouble with y'all for that one day. Ha.

It was SOOOO GORGEOUS this day! January 21st to be exact.. It was one of the first times it got super warm and sunny. I even let Finley skip her nap because we had all been cooped up inside for so long because of cold weather and rain. 

You do NOT sit still every long. As a matter of fact, only for just a few seconds and then you are off to the races!

So Mommy got the stroller out and around the yard we went. We've got to get some rails on the deck.

Around 4:30pm/5ish, y'all were both cranky. Poor Finley just cannot make it without a nap. Normally I can lay you down in your crib and you will go to sleep by yourself but you were not having it this day.. I scooped you up and after just a few minutes of watching Elmo, you and Fin Fin passed out! I was in HEAVEN! And yes, Mommy documented. I had both my girls in my lap, sleeping, and cuddling.

Mommy is brave getting you girls to the grocery store together! Y'all both do very good tho!

Fallyn // Week 38

"Gooo Dawgs!" 

You were almost 9 months when I took this picture and this is a 6 month outfit. So tiny.

I love how your little fist is balled up because it looks like you are just doing the Goo Dawgs Sic Em chant! 

Daddy came down with the flu after me and Fin Fin but we were so blessed and thankful you did not get it! We did give you two doses of Tamiflu and you vomited the second so you did not get anymore of that. We just kept the oils going and also put the Flu Bomb on the bottom of your feet.

Such cozy pajamas!

So for the first time after your bath, I rubbed you down with Johnsons Baby lotion because I do love that smell so much. We were out of our other lotions too and I remember even hesitating a little before putting it on you but sadly, I put it on you anyways. I guess you got hot in your fleece pajamas because the next morning you had a rash all over your body where I applied that lotion.

The next morning, we flew to dance class for Finley, and you screamed almost the whole entire time with Mama Jane. I had to even get one of the other girls to dance with Finley while I went into the waiting room to calm you down. On the way home, I called the nurse on call, and to make a long story short I realized what I did. When we got home, I washed you off and changed your clothes and you woke up from your nap just happy as ever! I threw that bottle of lotion away and I will never put that on you again.

The angle of this picture makes you look so big! One of my favorites!

Cuddles with Mommy.

Happy Happy Baby this particular week after your leap came to an end! One thing that I have been sad about it before this leap, you made a sound with your mouth when you would get really excited. Finley even imitates you and will still make that sound every now and then. After you came out of your leap, you have never done it again. It was the cutest and just seemed to be your "thing". I've even made the same sound to try and get you to do it again but you never have. Its so funny how we never know when things you sweet babies do will be the last.

Fallyn // Week 37

Fallyn, Week 37 was a little rough for you! Actually for all of us. 

Fin Fin got the flu on Monday, Mommy got it on Tuesday, and you were going thru a MAJOR leap. Mommy follows the Wonder Weeks App and I knew this one was going to be tough but boy was it ever! Your gums were bothering you so bad as well so it was a double whammy for you.

I was SO scared for you because of course we are all over each other and playing with the same toys and Fin Fin is always loving all over you, and I did NOT want you to get the flu as well.

If you got it, you did not run any high fever, you did run a low grade fever one of those days but I truly believe it was your gums.. your leap was also to end later on going into Week 38 and by the end of this week, you were getting so much better.

You try and stand up all the time!

You were supposed to be taking a nap and you were wide awake playing!

All smiles on the morning Mommy was coming down with the sickness! I was so thankful to see these smiles through out the week!

Fin fin did not slow down not one bit having the flu. I think we caught it super early and got Tamiflu in all your systems, along with Young Living oils and hydration. This was one of the first times during your leap that you were back in the floor content with playing by yourself. Even tho in this moment, I think Fin brought you every toy out of your basket to keep you from getting upset. 

She is such a big helper!

Fallyn // Week 36

Happy New Year Fallyn!

Oh my goodness! In a few short months you will be ONE!!! Whaaa??

For now though, soaking up these sweet moments because you are growing so quickly. 

I wondered why I didn't have many pictures from this particular week of your life and I believe it's because my phone was full and would not take anymore photos.

Thank the Lord for the Nikon! It actually has made me take more pictures on there and videos of you girls. Looking forward to having a little bit of free time to put together all these "firsts" and see you at each new stage. I would love to make a collage of both yours and Fin Fin's somehow and have them in your rooms.

Having a little fun playing dress up on New Years!

Baby's First Christmas. Love this sweetness in front of the tree.

You didn't go after the ornaments too much until the very end. As you can see the lights are off because this tree was SO dry!!

How mad are you two going to be at me when you get older and look back at all these pictures of you dressed the same? Ha! Love love this one!

I had never seen you sit with your legs crossed like this! Your balance is amazing in my opinion!

And you just went from kind of trying to BAM -- got it down like a pro.

Still playing dress up in your Christmas attire!

Sister, Sister!

Life is so much fun with you girls and this Christmas was even funner with both of you being so into it! You girls bring us so much JOY!
