 Back in January I had a girl's trip in Waco Texas and I was just having fun taking pictures. I love my new camera, it's so fun!

Birth Announcement & Newborn Pictures

Elizabeth @ 6 Months

Elizabeth has brought our family so much joy. She is just the sweetest thing, and our little chuncker and we love it! She is 18lbs already, she's catching up to Peter ha ha! It's kinda nice not having your kid be in the 3 percentile on weight.
She is mobile, so she is army crawling and is getting quite good at it. Pretty sure she says mom now, she says it when she sees me or wants me, it's more like mommmmommmom.  She loves baths, playing in the toy room, listening to Dustin play to guitar.
We just love her!

Elizabeth turns 4 Months!

About two weeks ago this little cutie turned 4 months!

She is one drooling baby and she can roll over one way, but is already scooting her way around a little and can move a full circle. She is very smiley but it takes a lot to make her laugh. She loves her blankets and likes to rub them around her face and I think it's really cute. She hates baths, I've never seen anything like it, the minute I turn on the water she screams, even the other day when I was giving the boys a bath and not her she wouldn't stop crying till I turned off the water. She takes one long nap in the morning but after that she takes 2-3 short naps till bed. She sleeps pretty good but wakes up around 2 to eat and sometimes is up for an hour or she keeps wanting to eat so I'm nursing her rest of the night, which can make nights long. She is already 16 pounds and she might catch up with her brother Peter!ha ha

We love her, the boys dote on her to the point it can get annoying but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Elizabeth @ 2 Months

Miss Elizabeth is 2 months now!

She is already 13 pounds and is 26 inches, so she is growing like a weed.

So far she has been our best sleeper and has been waking up once or twice a night.

She is miss social and loves to be talked to, and in return she will give you the biggest smile that will melt your heart. She's not a fan of tummy time and she rather be held.

Her brothers just adore her, but Oliver is probably the most protective. It's also so fun to see Dustin with her, and he used to tease me about all the hair bows we have but now he thinks they are the cutest things, it's pretty funny. It's fun to see how different a girl is even this early in the game. 

We love our Lizzy!

Birth Announcement and Newborn Pictures

I had a lot of fun taking Lizzie's newborn pictures! Dustin's sister is a photographer who hooked me up with some amazing props and gave me a link of photography workshops, so the last few weeks of pregnancy I watched about ten hours of photography classes and I was excited to practice what I learned. 

Lizzie is growing so fast! She is one loved girl.

Snap shots of August

We've been busy, as usual... this year seems to be a non-stopping, busy year. We have been sick on and off since we have been home from our trip and the house is almost there, just a few more boxes to be put away and pictures to be hung. Dustin has been busy getting ready for school or that stuff would have been done long ago.
We love our new house, the back yard has changed my life! Also I don't have to go up stairs to unload groceries; is a beautiful thing.

Pictures of the house soon! Hopefully...

But here are some snapshots of us in our new home.

I seem to take a lot of pictures of Peter eating, but you can't beat the lighting in that corner of the dining area:

The kids love the play room, and I do too.

I've started Pre-school with Thomas and Oliver and so far they love it, but it's only been a week.

They love the art projects, and I do too.

Anyway, a short post.
