A Little Help

The other night I was getting ready to pick up Whitney to go to bed when I realized her arm was up in the air. I looked a little closer to find that the pacifier was holding it up. It looked like her arm was in a cast and needed to be propped up. Just thought I'd share.

Bye-Bye!

The weather here is starting to get nice and Belle is getting stir crazy! She ALWAYS wants to go "Bye-Bye!". If you ask her where she's going she'll say "Grandma's". Whenever she find a basket or any form of a bag she says "Bye-Bye", as if she's going to leave with her purse. On this day she found a water bottle holder and was ready to go. She got her hat on ('cuz it's still cold) and went to get shoes on. Of course they were mine and a few sizes to big. They she had to give everyone a kiss, Whitney, Trigger, and Mommy (I got a hug too!). She's so cute and funny! Got to love their little imaginations! And little Whitney was just chillin' in here bouncer.
Daddy's Shoes!

What We've Been Up To!

Our computer wasn't letting me upload my photo's to our computer but now I've got it fix. Here are a few of the things we've been up to.

The paci that Belle has came in the diaper cake. I let her have it for a little bit, so she could "play" baby.
She didn't want to show off her teeth! But I got them.
Belle sharing her Puppy.

Oh She's SO pretty!

I LOVE baby's sleeping. They always look so peaceful!

Snow Day!

Last night we got a few inches of snow and it reminded me that I did not post photo's of our huge snow the other week. We got about 18 inches of snow in one night! Blake is a little kid when it comes to snow so he was in high heaven. Bryant brought over the tractor and Blake plowed our drive. I bundled up Belle and out in it she went. I videotaped it more then took photo's. My parents have a old home video of me tubing when I was about Belle's age and I wanted her to be able to look back like me and see how much fun it was. We had purchased a duck sled this summer at an awesome garage sale. She loves the duck! You can pull her in it and she fits just right. Blake loves to pull her tided to the back of the 4 wheeler. The snow this time was a bit high so when he tried to go into the yard from the drive she tipped over and wasn't happy. But she still loves to ride on the 4 wheeler, which he decided to do with her instead.

Sisters! Sisters!

I love to see Belle get along so well with Whitney! I do hope they will be close sisters. I wish I had a sister, someone to be there for and to be there for me or know that she'll always have my back, someone I can share cloths with and someone to vent to when I need an outlet. I do have high hopes for my daughters. They could grow up to hate each other or never speak to one another. I don't really see that happening but I've learned to never say never. So far we're on a good path. Belle is such a big helper. She'll go and get diapers, wipes and soap as she calls it (butt cream) if sissy is crying, thinking she needs her butt changed. She'll give her her binky when ever she finds it on the ground. I can normally ask her to go get me something and she will do it gladly for her little sis. There are so many times that Belle is so sweet that I wish I could caught it on film. She loves to give her kisses and now she's started to say "Hold her". It's hard to tell what she's saying at first cuz she slurs the words together but I know what she wants when she grabs a pillow and puts it on her lap. So precious! Belle want Whitney to go everywhere with us. To the potty, to cook, to play, everywhere and wants to sit by her or vise-versa. I'm loving it!

Whitney's Open House

We had a great weekend! On Saturday Whitney and I went with Grandma and Grandpa Parker's to watch Jessica play basketball. I love going to them and was thrilled to take her to her first game. She was precious the whole time. Then on Sunday we had an open house for her at Parker's. It was a nice time to see a few people we haven't seen in a while. Whitney got this really cool gift from Aunt Peggy, Monica and Wes. It was a diaper cake. They got one for Belle when she was born. I have to say that I think Whitney's was much cooler! It was the centerpiece on the table! We also get a neat blanket from Stevie and Carson that will work great with all this cold weather we are having. We got a great gift in the mail from my Grandpa and Grandma Holt. They sent a cute outfit for Whitney that had a hat and matching blanket, but they didn't forget her big sister too. She got a great tea set. It came with a tea pot that plays music and makes noise when you pour it. But the part I love the most is it has a few cakes on a plate that are square, triangle and round. I wanted to start teaching Belle her colors and shapes and this is perfect timing for us to start that. So Thank you!! Over all we got a lot of great things and had an even better time just hanging with family! Belle loves her sister and is still a great big sister. I can't wait to see them grow up and become even better friends!

2 Week Check-Up

Whitney had her two week check up today. She had lost alot of her weight so we had to go in last Monday for a follow up. But her weight checked back fine. Today was another story. Her weight was not only fine it was awesome! Our little one is now:
9lbs. 2oz.
21 inches
On Monday her weight was 8lbs. 6oz. so a big healthy gain. She definitely hit her birth weight. Over all she is a great healthy baby girl. She's still sleeping alot in the day time and keeps us (me) up from 12a-2am. but we're working on that.
