5 Months of Miller

This son of ours...amazing.

First, he is the sweetest little guy ever. All you have to do is make eye contact and he grins from ear to ear. He rarely cries, he just hangs out and smiles! All I ever say is " You are so sweet"...I hope he stays this way forever and ever.

He rolls over, in fact he rolls all over the place. He screeches and screams at the top of his lungs as his way of talking...no quiet cooing from this kid. He is busy and "twitches" all over the place when you hold him, so much in fact, Daddy calls him "Twitch".

He grins every time he sees his big Sissy and puts up with hugs, kisses and the occasional rough smothering of his entire body.

He loves his Daddy somethin' fierce and reserves some pretty big grins for him.

I didn't know this little guy was part of our plan, but now I can't imagine my life without him.

6 Years

6 years ago on August 9th we started our married life together.  We have fought really hard to get where we are today and I am so happy with the life we have built.  

We celebrated with a fun dinner out at The Rabbit Hole in Colorado Springs. Beautiful night, some yummy cocktails and a delicious dinner.

I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us.

Love you, Babe!

My loves

How did I get so lucky to call these two mine? They melt my heart. I can't tell you how many times I've just stared at these picture. Love.

Good Decisions

Moving to Colorado Springs was an adjustment and a bit intimidating. New house, new school, new environment...all things new.

But, I have to say, we absolutely made the right decision and its affirmed almost every day.

A text to Grandma to invite her to Concert in the Park...and she only has to drive 8 miles to get to us!

Now, if we can just get the Cecchini's to move down here, it will all be perfect!

Miller- 3 Months

Our boy is 3 months old and it's about time I documented some things about him.

First of all, he is darling. Huge grin that he easily gives away. He is starting to giggle if you tickle him just right! He is so calm and typically only cries if he is hungry or has a wet diaper. I  honestly can't think of a time he has cried for more than a few minutes as I took too long to feed him ( in his opinion). Somehow, I got lucky with another easy baby.

He is trying to roll and has gotten over a few times from his back to his belly.  He has a ton of hair and fat rolls- could be be cuter? Everyone at his school comments how big he is everyday I pick him up and how much they love my chilled back babe.

Check out these legs!

He sleeps through the night 3-4 nights per week so while it is wonderful, the other nights are such a let down when I hear that pitiful cry at 1am.  But he eats quickly and back to sleep pretty quickly.

I still can't believe we have a son. I still can't believe we have a second child. It is so amazing.

Movin' on Up

We've been in our new house for 2 weeks and at least once a day I look around and think to myself " I love this house!".  Short of winning Powerball and having an unlimited budget, this house really has absolutely everything we could ever want! Brian and I keep saying " Can you believe this is ours??"

We've been furniture shopping and furniture shopping trying to fill this house.  We are 99% done and looking forward to a house warming party at the end of July.

It has been so great to be so close to family...last minute dinners, quick walk to Nik's, Grandma stopping by just to say him, Concert in the Park, trying out the new rec center.  Every time it happens is solidifies that we made the right decision.

I feel really blessed!

Our Babies!

 My sister got these adorable "Month" stickers for Syd and I still love to look back at the pictures from the first 12 months of her life. When it came time for a baby shower for Miller, I politely requested she get them for me again. 

I cannot get over how beautiful our babies are, nor can I get over how much they look alike!
