Leah is 6 months!

Holy Cow! I cannot believe I just typed that. It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital having her! Wow! She has been such a blessing to our lives, and she is in way to big a hurry to grow up. I think the last update I gave on her was when she was 4 months so here is what she has done in the last 2 months, some have happened earlier some have recently happened.

• Started food. Girlfriend loves to eat, we are up to two times a day and she has had cereal both oatmeal and rice, green beans, peas, carrots, pears, peaches, applesauce and there may have been others I just cannot think of them

• Army crawling. She is everywhere. No more laying her on the floor and walking out of the room. Yikes!
• Up on all fours to crawl. She rocks and projects herself forward but hasn't taken the "steps"
  
• Says "buh buh buh" when she sees her brother. And an does she LOVE him!!! He is pretty much the only one who can make her laugh.
  
• Sleeps in her own crib in a room with Wyatt.
• Got her bottom two teeth.
  
• Had her first ear infection
• Sleeps 10 hours at night again!
• Went trick or treating as a cute little flower ( a costume I got for 1.99 thank you very much!)

That's all we can think of at the moment. Its been busy but we are loving them so much.

Wyatt is doing great also. Still learning the "rules" but is mostly a great, funny, loving little boy!

We are blessed!

LONG time

Its been awhile since I posted sorry (if anyone stopped by)  We've been busy and I haven't been inspired to write anything.  Right now we are visiting Chris' parents which is great.  Wyatt has been very anxious to come visit Clayton so he is in heaven.  We are all having a great time!  Leah is almost 6 months so I'll post about her when we get home.  Thanks to anyone who stopped by!

Fall Photoshoot!

I asked Auntie Katie to take the kids pictures the other day and she did an AMAZING job!! Here are some of my favorites.









You can see all the pictures here on my facebook page.

Unredeemed

We've been having a rough couple of weeks for my extended family. You can read about it here on my sister Katie's blog. In these times its tough to say that God is good, but He is. He is still on the throne. This song has been a great encouragement to me this last week!

Unredeemed

Selah

The cruelest words, the coldest heart
The deepest wounds, the endless dark
The lonely ache, the burning tears
The bitter nights, the wasted years

Life breaks and falls apart
But we know these are

[Chorus]
Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
They may be unfulfilled, they may be unrestored
But when anything that’s shattered is laid before the Lord
Just watch and see it will not be
Unredeemed

For every choice that led to shame
And all the love that never came
For every vow that someone broke
And every life that gave up hope

We live in the shadow of the fall
But the cross says these are all …

[Chorus]

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing
They may be unfulfilled, they may be unrestored
But you never know the miracles the Father has in store
Just watch and see it will not be
Just watch and see it will not be

Leah is Four Months

Wow I cannot believe that it has been four months since Leah joined our family! She is such a joy! Wyatt continues to love her more and more and likes to play with her. These last two months she has learned to roll over both ways, drool :) eat her hands :) she puts weight on her feet and stands with help. She also is trying to crawl, no seriously she gets up on her knees and her elbows and pushes forward. I am not ready for a mobile child yet, I was looking forward to the few months I would have with an immobile little girl. Oh well, there goes that. I am convinced that she thinks she is 8 months old. She is making noises and trying to mimic some noises she hears. She does not like the car at all! She sleeps fine while traveling, but if she is awake she is not happy. This past weekend was one of those situations the only thing I could do to calm her down is to take the DVD player away from Wy and put it in front of her. Crazy child shut right up.

Another super fun thing that happened is that on Leah's four month birthday, her first cousin was born. Meet Clayton Scott. Born September 5, 2009 at 1:54am 9lbs 8oz 21in long. He is perfect and a little chunk!!

Wyatt was quite smitten with his "friend" which is how he would refer to Clayton. Here he is with Aunt Stacy and Uncle Tim. Stacy was a champ! Completely natural, only in labor for about 5 hours with 10 minutes of hard pushing! Way to go!!

Sweet face!

Proud Daddy! He is smitten!
