Playing together

Sage and Avery have started playing together. Avery just adores Sage and Sage loves to make her laugh! He is pretty rough with her and it scares me sometimes but she just laughs and laughs.

This wasnt as bad as it looks. (he's not acutally sitting ON her) And she loved it!

Shopping!

Trying to be like Mommy

Where did Houston Oaks go?

This is what Sage has been saying all week after another fun weekend at Houston Oaks! My parents and in-laws joined Ryan and I and the kids for some fun! Carly came on Satuday too! All Sage wanted to do was ride in the golf carts and play golf. He actually has a pretty good swing!

Then on Sunday we had Ryan's company family picnic.

First tattoo!!

Sage always has so much fun at Houston Oaks. And Avery is starting to enjoy it too

As we leave, and when he wakes up days later he says

"Where Did Houston Oaks GO?!?!?"

Don't worry--we'll be back soon!

Ashelys Baby Shower

One of my good friends is having a baby!

(I know like 8 of my good friends are having or had babies this fall)

We had Ashley Hurst's baby Shower for Baby Julian last Sunday. Everyone had a great time and I can't wait to meet Baby Julian around Thanksgiving!

The Mommy to be!

Avery 6 Months

Before we start let me just confess that I TOTALLY dropped the ball on Averys six month pictures. She has no pictures with her 6 month sign :( But I do have amazing pictures taken by Shalonda from chubby cheek photography (that I cant post but a couple are on my facebook page)

A comparison...
Sage at 6 months

and Avery (3 lbs heavier)

Avery is half a year old!

I can't believe it!

Here are some things I don't want to forget.

Her Schedule-


Avery eats rice cereal with fruit for breakfast (she just started eating the Gerber premade oatmeal with fruit some days) followed by a bottle

then she naps from around 9-10am
Lunch is a veggie and fruit and a bottle

Her nap time is noon-2 to 3:00 she gets a bottle when she wakes up

Dinner is either rice cereal, yogurt, or pre made oatmeal with a veggie

She goes to sleep around 7 after her last bottle of the day and wakes up around 7am

She weighs 19lbs 10 oz! 95%

Height- 26.75 in. 80%

head is in 75%

She got 4 shots this doctor visit and she did great Only cried untill I picked her up and loved on her

Thankfully she is a good sleeper. She falls asleep on her own in the crib and sleeps through the night most of the time. Occasionally she will wake up and want her paci. As soon as she gets it shes goes back to sleep!

Avery said Dadda a couple days ago for the first time!!!! She only will say it after Sage says it- so cute!

She can sit up on her own

Her favorite thing to do is jump in her baby einstein bouncer! She can bounce in it for an hour!



Avery loves to watch Sage. She smiles at him and reaches for him all the time

She has started to reach out for us when she wants to be picked up. so fun

Avery puts everything in her mouth and drools all day long.

She really knows who I am and wants me to hold her if Im in the room but does not get upset when i have to leave. Hopefully it stays that way!

We love her so much! And love to watch her smile and laugh all day long!

Some firsts!!

Sitting in the cart without her car seat for the first time yesterday!

AHH! I have to have those. I'll just charge it!

First time in the swing!

Always watching...

Love this beautiful happy girl!

Great Friends

Sage has some great friends!

(And so do I)

Sage and Colt are Best Friends!

The other night Colt said "Sage, you love me?" Sage said "yes" of course!

It is so funny to listen to their little conversations!

Then today, 5 of Sages friends came over to play! And four of my closest friends.

So glad ALL of these girls get to stay home with their kids and ME!!

Waiting for their friends to come!

So much fun!

Ice cream! Luke, Colt, Sage, Bennet, and Lia (Emily was sitting with her momma)

Their new favorite way to get to Emily and Lukes house.

Avery is growing up WAY too fast! 6 month Dr. appt. tomorrow!

AHHHHHH

First word!!!!

Fairytale Wedding!

I was honored to be a part of Jen and Steve's wedding this weekend.

It was amazing.

Three fun packed days of celebration. Jen is a college friend of mine from OSU. The wedding was in Tulsa, so I packed up, left the kids with Nana and Grandpa and headed north! I did miss Ryan and the kids while I was gone. It was weird staying in a hotel room all alone. I got to see a lot of my college girl friends that I miss so much. Its crazy how most of us are married with children now! I had a fabulous time and manned the guest book and programs very well I must say :)

Did you notice the picture of her Dad on her bouquet? He passed away a little over a year ago. He was with her the whole day..

Some of my FAVORITE girls!

There was a photo booth!

There was lots of dancing all day long. Then we all went to a bar afterwards. The wedding started at 2 so I was DONE and in bed by 10:45!

I modeled the brides shoes at the bar! Jimmy Choo AMAZING and Super tall!

While I was playing in Tulsa, Ryan came home from his Scotland trip with my Dad, Brother, and Brother in law. They had a great time. So there were 2 and a half days where we were both gone. So the kids were in Conroe with Ryan's parents. They always have a great time there!

Where did my baby girl go?

Congratulations Jen and Steve. We love you and thank you for letting me be a part of your special day! I can't wait to see you two again. Maybe in the city of rocks!?!?!
