Haisley's 4 Year Stats

Haisley had her 4 year check up yesterday, and it was quite an experience.  She had to get 5 shots, and she was not happy about it!  We made it through and she is as healthy as can be!  These are her stats...
Weight:  31 lbs....15%
Height:  38.5 in....21%.

We are so thankful for this sweet, growing girl!

Camille is 6 Months

  This precious angel is 6 months old.  1/2 a year.  Can't believe it!  Camille continues to be the sweetest, happiest, most pleasant little one that I have ever been around. We feel immeasurably blessed that the Lord choose us to be her family!  Her sweet little personality is coming out more each day and I am trying to soak up every second!  Some update on my punkin pie...

Teeth:  None yet, but lots of drooling and chewing on fingers going on.

Sleeping:  Like a champ.  We had a little set back last week, my poor angel was sick as a dog with congestion.  That hindered sleeping a bit, but I think she is back on track.  She normally goes to bed about 7, sleeps until 5ish, eats and goes back to sleep.  We are not on a set sleep schedule during the day.  We put her down in her crib awake, let her cry for about 5 minutes, go back in and put the paci back in her mouth.  That is normally all it takes to get her to sleep.  Easy child to sleep train!!

Eating:  Camille is still breastfed, so I'm still not sure how much she is getting at each feeding.  We haven't started solids yet, although the doctor gave us the green light on it.  I am not ready to start quite yet, I think that it is because I am not ready for my baby to grow up.  She nurses about every 3 hours.

Size:  Camille is our smallest baby yet.  She is still in size 2 diapers and size 3-6 month clothes.  She went to the doctor yesterday for her six month checkup and had to get 5 shots.  It was horrible for me, I hate seeing my babies hurt.  Her stats:
Lenth~25in...15%
Weight~14 lb, 7 oz....18%
Head Circumference~17in...76%

Just for comparison, Haisley was 15lbs, 3 oz and 25.5 inches at 6 months. 

Tricks:  Our sweet baby is so smiley.  She lights up a room!  She is excellent at rolling over, can sit up fairly well, babbles up a storm, and loves watching her siblings!

We love you so much sweet girl!  There are no words to explain it!  Happy half year!

Benton Boy Updates

Our little Benton Boy is quite the fussy one these days.  Matter of fact, he is currently standing beside screaming, so that's fun.  He is the epitome of "all boy."  He is WIlD, fearLESS, and NEVER sits still.  He is doing pretty good in his big boy bed, although he gets up really early...Every.  Single.  Day.  He still naps everyday, which is good for Mommy.  He does not like cheese, bread, grapes, kiwi, potatoes, or pasta.  He is also not a huge fan of sweets.  Some pictures of our little guy...

Daddy Daughter Date Night 2016

  Haisley went to Daddy Daughter Date Night this year and loved it so much!!  She has been looking forward to it for weeks, which in part, is my fault.  I accidentally told her it was a week earlier than it was, which she wasn't thrilled about.  I  apologized and she forgave me, so all is well.  We curled her hair, and wore a fancy "twirl dress" as she calls it!  So much fun!!  They had a blast until the Chick-fil-A cows came out.  She had already told Mark that when they came, she would be ready to leave.  She was not lying...she was ready to leave promptly after their arrival.  Mark was explaining to her in the car that Mommy and Daddy were not scared of mascots, and that she shouldn't be either.  Haisley's response, "Here's the thing, though Daddy, I am!"  So funny!

 Off they go!

Haisley's Valentine Party

My sweet Haisley Grace had her Valentine Party at school last week and she LOVED it!  She loved the party AND giving/getting Valentine treats!  She is at such a fun stage.  She gets so excited and it is so much fun to see!

Haisley's "Party"

This year I swore up and down that we were not having a party.  After a friend had a party at Cici's, Haisley wanted to have a party there as well.  So, off we went.  We went to Cici's with friends and Haisley LOVED it!  She talked about it for several days after too!

The next day at Chapel, they sang the sweetest song to Haisley and she loved the attention, but you could see a little bit of her shyness coming out!  I also brought cupcakes for her sweet little class!

So we basically celebrated Haisley's birthday for a week.  On her actual birthday, JJ took us to IHOP.  We had a blast!!




Happy birthday sweet love bug!  We are beyond thankful that you were born!!

Benton's Big Boy Bed

This little fellow started sleeping in a big boy bed about a week ago.   He has been doing pretty good overall.   He does think he can come and go out of his room as he wishes,  which can be disastrous with trying to get Camille to sleep.   Talented Mark built his bed,  so impressive!   Next on the list is bedding....

 
Might I also add that Benton is as funny as he is WILD!  He keeps us laughing and running,  basically on our toes!  

 He is cutting his 2 year molars and he has been a nightmare,  if we are being honest!   He still takes a 2 hour nap per day, praise the Lord!  He brings lots of laughter to our lives and he we love him so!   His sisters think he is pretty great too!
