Merry Christmas!!

What a sweet, full, loud, fun, entertaining, busy, hilarious, meaningful holiday season for our little family.  We are grateful.

7 months (a bit late!)

Our sweet Vivi girl is 7 months!  (Well, 7.5 now but her mama is late!). Don’t tell the big kids but she is by far my easiest baby.  Hallelujah for that!  She is so easy going and has such a sweet personality.  She is quick to giggle and smile and she’s started trying to kiss us - she’ll grab our faces and pull them towards her and open her mouth up to “kiss” us - the kids think it’s hilarious.  She has two teeth and is starting to feed herself easy finger foods.  She is so close to crawling (I’m not quite ready for that one!).  We can’t wait to celebrate our first Christmas with our Ru baby!!!

6 months!!!

It’s getting harder to get a picture of our Ru baby since she rolls over the second you set her down!  This little love is SIX months old.  Oh we love her so.  She is a delight!

She is nearly 17 lbs and 25 inches long.  She loves avocado, sweet potatoes and blueberries.  She thinks her brother and sister are hysterical.  She’s been to more basketball games, swim lessons and school events than I can count.  She rolls well with the chaos of being #3.  She lights up our home.  Happy six months, Vivi Ru!

Happy Halloween!!!

At this life season Halloween just might be my favorite holiday.  It’s pretty low maintenance as far as holidays go :). And the fun quota is huge!!!  Last year when we told the kids we were pregnant the first thing Luke said was, “Sissy!!  Now we have a baby to be Jack Jack!”  So obviously we had to make that dream a reality :)

Cousins!

Last week our cousins were here for a surprise last minute trip.  We soaked up the joy and chaos and noise and laughter!

5 months!

This little love turned 5 months old last week.  She is truly a delight!  She is rolling all over the place and eating lots of solids.  She’s usually up only once a night (yay!) and lights up our home with smiles and giggles.  We love you, Vivi Ru Ru!

Fall!!

My favorite season is here!  And what a gift of a weekend to celebrate all things autumn from fall ball (the twins are playing fall basketball!  With Coach Dad!) to the pumpkin patch, corn maze and hay riding!  Ending the weekend with a grateful heart.
