Conversation on the way to daycare today:
Me: Are you ok Sonja? You’re really quiet this morning.
Sonja: Yeah. I’m ok. I’m practicing being quiet for a school

Six Months
This chubby baby is 6 months old today! Time is going by too fast. She has two bottom teeth. She can roll from her back to her tummy and can almost sit up by herself. She loves eating oatmeal, apples, and carrots. She likes playing with her feet. She continues to be super laid back and cheerful. We just love her to death.
Three Months Old
Camille was three months old on Tuesday. She makes me smile and warms my heart. She has a funny little smile. She likes to “talk” with her big sister. She occasionally rolls over. She quickly gets furious if she’s hungry and we’re not quick enough with her milk. She loves being held by anyone. Mostly she’s pretty easy going. I need the growing to slow down!
Sonja Says
Me: Look Sonja, we’re both wearing dresses with purple flowers today!
Sonja: But mine is cooler than yours.
Alrighty then…
First Christmas
We went to see Santa at Westdale Mall on Saturday night. Both girls did great! No one cried and Sonja even told Santa what she wanted in a voice he was able to hear and understand. Sometimes she gets quiet and mumbly when she’s nervous. Why doesn’t Santa pass out candy canes anymore? Now you just get a coloring book. Healthier I suppose but not nearly as fun in my opinion!
First Thanksgiving
We celebrated Camille’s first Turkey Day in Mt. Vernon. We ate too much and had a great time. Camille had plenty of people to snuggle her and Sonja had Tara, Billy, and Grandpa Joe to play with. And Kev and I had time to sit quietly with no one bugging us. So thankful for that. Ha!
Two Months
How has it been two months already?! Camille is doing great! She weighs 12 lbs, 5 oz and is 24.5 inches long. She is smiling more each day. She likes to coo and grunt and chew on her hands. She loves to watch her big sister do anything. She started daycare last week and they tell me she’s laid back and relaxed. We’re feeling lucky to have a happy, healthy baby!
Happy Halloween!
I made this to send to our niece with some Halloween treats. i thought I’d share it here because I haven’t posted in forever and we love you too.
Sonja is thrilled to be Pink Bat Girl! I mean, beyond excited. She saw this costume in a newspaper ad and HAD TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW! Thank you Party City. This new mom was happy to spend $30 and have Halloween taken care of in five minutes.
Hope everyone has a fun and spooky time on Wednesday!
Photo Shoot
For some reason I’m a crazy person and decided that, yeah sure, I can take some pictures of my friend Lyz and her family. Surprisingly I managed to take the photos and edit them in only two days. Thank you Baby Camille for letting me get this little project done. We met at the park on Sunday. It was a little cold but a beautiful fall day in Iowa.
My apologies to all three of them for having to run home and empty the memory card in my camera and then for having faulty equipment in the end. Ugh! So unprofessional of me. This is why I don’t do this to feed my family!
How cute are they?!
Look! It’s Me!
Kevin took this a couple weeks ago when we did a little photo shoot with our babies. Meow Meow and I sat as subjects to get the lights right. The circles under my eyes aren’t even that bad. This was about two weeks ago though. There’s been a lot less sleeping since then I think.
