Photo dump

I can't believe how much I rely on my phone for taking pictures. I rarely get by DSLR out of its pretty bag.

So, here we go....a phone photo dump.  And I could NOT change the order of these pictures, so they are in all sorts...better than nothing, right? RIGHT!?

Hanging with my little sisters. For approximately one whole hour. My mom thought for sure Harlow was sick due to the extreme screaming, but it turns out she just really missed her Mommy.

Daddy and Finley...waiting patiently for the doctor.

Red and blue tongues.  We may have been eating airheads.

Carissa and I after the LONGEST drive to nowhere. We were all set to be personal attendants in Angie's wedding, and when we were about 30 minutes from our destination, we found out the wedding was the NEXT weekend. Yes, that seriously happened. We are still laughing about it.

She inherited her Mommy's sweet tooth.

The best part about making choco chip cookies is definitely sneaking some batter.

Our first night out since the new babe.

This is the ugliest picture, but man it makes me giggle.

Yes, I thought I could use this log as a gymnastics bar. No it did not work. Yes I have the bruises to prove it.

Becky's bachelorette party!

Remember when I said she was waiting patiently for the doctor??  Well, 40 minutes into our wait she was over the patiently part.

Lunch date with Daddy.

Baby piercings. 10 week old champion.

Washing their vehicles.

Old roomies.

I really do have the best job ever.

Corrupting my baby girl.

Wedding cocktails.

The church for Katie and Russ' wedding. So pretty.

Angie, the blushing bride and her groom.

Man, I love those lips.

Gigi, tucking in my girls on an overnight visit.

happy fourth of july

Two months old

Little Miss Lola at two months old:

Loves her Mommy.
Doesn't love to be set down.
Smiles and shows off her adorable dimples. {My aunt called them Dana dimples, and obviously made me cry.}
Despises her car seat. And the stroller. You want to hear her scream? Just put her in the car seat.
Has a hard time taking a bottle. Perfectly fine 98% of the time. Not so great the other two.
Is still an inconsistent sleeper. Up once a night some nights, up three times the next.
Loves her brother and sister. Now that they've realized if they don't get right up in her face she can actually see them, they love to make her smile.
Coos and coos and coos. She might have gotten the talking gene like her Mom and sister. I can already tell how many times she's going to get in trouble for talking in class...not that I EVER did that.
Loves to 'stand'. No more cuddling up and sitting, it's all about the stand.
Due to the said stand, also has started pushing herself backwards on the floor by arching her back and straightening her legs.
Loves to be sung to.
Adores baths, but not the cold lake water.

Has her Mom and Dad smitten over their little babe.

six weeks

How is our little lady six weeks old?
How is my maternity leave almost half over?

How have I not even yet ordered newborn pictures or sent birth announcements?

Six weeks old.

daddy's girl

I found this picture today, and until I saw it I had forgotten I had taken it.

While in the hospital, Brad insisted I try to nap.
After I dozed in and out a bit, I heard him whispering... whispering to his little newborn lady.
Without him knowing, I snapped this quickly with my phone.

I hope someday when she's a grown up gal, she knows that her Daddy loved her from the start.

 

stuff {also known as lazy}

Since clearly blogging is not my strong point right now, as I sit on my favorite chair with my little ladies, I may as well post some pics from my phone. 

Sleeping soundly on the way home from the lake.

 

The mask that scared the crap out of his little sister.

 

Us, about three minutes ago.

 

Kas cuddles.

 

Bathing beauty.

 

Getting a little "help" posing for a picture. Aren't big sisters SO GREAT!?

 

Holding your head up is just SUCH hard work.

 

A birthday shot of Patron. That I just finally admitted to Kara was just water in my shot glass. Oops.

 

Not just one, but two frogs on his head. And he's pretty proud.

 

Morning picture sent to my little sisters. Taking one for the team to get a good laugh.

I think it's time to actually care about what I look like on this maternity leave.

 Well.....maybe I'll start tomorrow.

girl crush

I'm not going to lie, I have a mad crush on this little girl of mine...

Little hands...

 

Little feet with little socks...

  

And that little face. With little red eyes, just like her big sister.
