Father's Day 2013.

Super Dad

She looks so much like Drew!

Love this.

So stinkin' cute.

Look at Gray in the back. I'm not sure why he was covering his ears, but it made for a great picture!

This may be our first family photo since Lou was born. Yikes.

Grandpa Jim on Father's Day.

Lou loved listening to my dad sing songs.

Look at her brow.

Grandma Neetie and Lou Bear. Although I think Lou looks like Drew mostly, sometimes I see my mom.

Cute.

A little late on the Father's Day weekend post, but better late than never.

Hope it was a great day for all of you dad's!

Happy Father's Day!

My favorite part is when I ask Gray what his Daddy does for fun and he says "He loves Gray!" 

So sweet!

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful Dad's out there! 

TWO.

I love this one. Looks like she's jumping rope or something.

Yo!Yo!Yo!

I had to put a picture of Gray when he was 2 months. It is amazing how much older Lou looks than Gray. Look at his skinny little legs. If you could see her thighs, you would laugh at the difference. 

Really, they look nothing alike! 

Messing up letters again!

ohhhhhhh.

Lou now has her own big blabla (thanks to Nanny Toni and Grandpa Mike) so we can measure her every month. This one is Pumpkin Girl, she is adorable!

 

Hey!

Happy Girl!

Loves.

HAPPY 2 MONTHS LOU BEAR! 

What a rock star baby! Seriously. So happy! So sweet! So independent! So smiley! This girl sleeps like it's nobody's business. I'm still hesitant to brag about just how long, because it really is unbelievable and I'm still afraid of jinxing it. :) She is enjoying tummy time a little more and really loves it when I sing songs to Gray or Gray sings songs to her.

Gray love, love, loves Lou. His Nanny Toni called Lou "Miss America," so now Gray likes to pat her on the head and say "Hi, Miss America!" It's pretty cute. He has little chats with her all of the time. He loves to hug her and kiss her and help give her baths. He really has become very helpful and seems to have adjusted to having a new addition to our family. He seems to be back to his old self, which I am so grateful for! 

Last day (a little late).

Not too much has changed in 9 months, although I can tell you that shirt doesn't fit him anymore!

Showing me the chalk on his hands.

Gray finished his first year of pre-school last week. It was such an amazing experience for him and for us. He made some great friends and loved every second. 

Now we are on to summer school starting next week! His school breaks it up into two sessions. The first session is gardening and the second is the circus. Not sure what will be happening, I just know that we have been encouraged to dress them in swim trunks every class. Sounds fun to me!

Bring on the ruffles.

It doesn't get much sweeter than this.

Love Lou's face.

She's either bothered by the skirt or her brother.

Hysterical.

ruffles.

Someone looks JUST like her daddy. Woah. 

 

 

Lou's Nanny Toni sent this skirt and top out for her. We had to have a photo shoot in it. 

So funny. Ever since I took these pictures, Gray keeps pulling the skirt out of the drawer wanting her to wear it on our errands, which are usually to the grocery store. You know...Mom in her workout clothes (without a shower), Gray in his funny t-shirt  (uncombed hair and food on his face) and Lou in her prom gown. What would they say at Whole Foods?:)

Can you believe that last picture? Drew and Lou look just alike. Pretty crazy. I'm gonna start calling them Drewise or Drewlou. ha.

Mother's Day.

My two loves.

My newest reason to celebrate Mother's Day.

I can't get enough of this kid.

Gray and Willa having a chat about something important, I'm sure.

Super fly Willa and her Gigi.

Sweet Tabitha.

Halley and Zoey. Sisters.

Little Miss Zoey.

Teething Tabitha.

Jon, Willa, Drew and Gray. Two amazing Dad's.

Happy (belated) Mother's Day!

I had typed up a really long post about being a mother to two kids and it was deleted when I tried to post it. So, because I limited on time and would like to take a nap while both of my kiddos are sleeping, I won't be re-typing it. :)

Instead, I just want to thank my husband for making Mother's Day so amazing for me and for always making me feel loved and special. I couldn't do my "job" without you. 

Hope you all had a super duper day!!! 

1 is so much fun!

Already a trouble maker...grabbing letters.

I realize my mom dresses me like a boy.

I made my mom add the headband since I was wearing my brothers old onesie.

One month!!!!!!!

Remember Verdi? I love this, it looks like Louise is copying him.

Even Ellie loves me. This is unreal. We weren't sure if Ellie actually new Louise was there, but she climbed right up on the couch and snuggled up. She also likes to hang out on the rug in Lou's room.

 My good friend Toniann found Grayson wine when he was born and Lulu wine when she was born. 

Gray and Dad gave me my first real bath.

I went to my first BBQ.

Gray and his good friend Willa dining al fresco at my first BBQ. Aren't they adorable?

 1 MONTH OLD ALREADY?

I can't believe Lou is already one month old. Time really does fly. Since I just post a bunch of pictures, I didn't have a lot to put on this post. The top pictures I took on 2 different days. The first one I took in Lou's crib on the gray sheets and then the next day she had on that black and white onesie and I thought it would look so cute against Gray's black and white sheets I had to take another set of photos. :)

We have been having a lot of fun with little Louise. Including coming up with lots of nicknames. So far we have, Lou, Lulu, Lou Bear and Lil' Wheezy (a nickname Drew gave her in the ER when she was having a hard time breathing.) 

She is such a SWEET, SWEET baby and we are enjoying every second.
We are lucky, lucky, lucky to have 2 sweet littles (even though Gray's sweetness is taking a little break.) :)
