Cordelia is Four!

March 7, 2016 by Aliesha

Our Cordelia turned four years old on February 23!

It doesn’t seem that long ago that she was a squishy, chunky baby, but now she’s a little lady who keeps us laughing every day!

Cordelia is a joy to be around.  She is sweet and kind and she is so vocal in telling each of us that she loves us.DSC_5679_2sm

She loves to play with her sister and brothers.  She’s a great help in the kitchen and willingly offers to help Mommy during the day.

Cordelia is bouncy and fun… our family would be incomplete without her energy and vibrancy!

We love our cuddles from sweet “CC.”

Happy fourth birthday, Cordelia!  We love you!

Theodore’s Six Months Old!

March 5, 2016 by Aliesha

TheodoreSixMonths

Theodore turned six months old at the end of February, and I’m a little behind on posting his picture (it’s been a very busy last three weeks!).

Here are some milestones:

-has two bottom teeth
-loves to play with his little toys
-likes nibbling on his toes
-weighs about 17 pounds
-gave us a really awesome belly laugh the other night when he got amused about something
-scoots/pivots while on his tummy… crawling may come soon!
-tries to give kisses but doesn’t know to close his mouth
-likes being worn in the Boba
-slept 12 hours last night, then 2.5 more hours
-says, “dada”
-has his own “look” even though he has certain expressions that remind us of the other kids

We are thankful that Theodore is healthy, growing, and just an absolute delight to be around!  Love this sweet baby!

Life Lately

February 15, 2016 by Aliesha

DSC_5406_2smIt’s been a little while since I wrote a post just updating you on our life!  As you can imagine, I stay pretty busy caring for our sweet children and keeping up with our home!

I spent a good bit of time in the last three weeks decluttering and organizing lots of “hot spots” in our home.  I used this ecourse as a starting point and recruited a few friends to join me!  We would text before and after pictures to each other, and it was awesome to have their support and accountability! At the end of 14 days, I had gotten rid of well over 1,200 things from our house!

DSC_5414_2smOur kids have been playing with lots of building toys (Duplos, MegaBloks, trains, etc.) and being so imaginative. They love to dress up and act out stories they’ve read!  We have been reading Stuart Little out loud and they really like it.

DSC_5425copysmThe girls are both such “little mommies” to Theodore.  They’re always so excited about the new things he’s learning how to do!  And Vera was the one who discovered over the weekend that Theodore got his first two teeth!

All of the decluttering and cleaning I’ve done lately has inspired me to do some decorating!
