Lydia is 4 months old!

Well, I am a little late reporting, but Lydia was 4 months old this past Saturday. She had her doctor's appointment yesterday and she was 12 pounds 3 ounces (dropping to the 20th%ile) and 24 inches long (50th%ile).

She has been growing so quickly and impressing us with her abilities. She can now roll over in both directions, and she wants to crawl so badly. She can scoot just a little, but mostly she still just gets around by kicking her feet and spinning herself in circles. She has found her thumb and although I wouldn't classify her as a thumb-sucker yet, she definitely can pull her paci out and put her thumb in.

As you can see from the picture, she has been wearing herself out these days and will fall asleep almost anywhere, including sitting up in her bumbo seat!!

Enjoy the pics...

Brittany's Wedding and Disney on Ice

Not this past weekend, but the one prior to that we travelled to Chattanooga for Scott's cousin, Brittany's wedding. Friday night we attended the rehearsal dinner and Saturday we got dressed up and headed to the wedding. Everything was beautiful, especially the bride, and we send out congratulations to the happy couple. (I apologize for all of the red-eye pics- I didn't take the time to fix them, because time has been precious lately!)

Sunday, Crickett and Melissa took us to see Disney on Ice, featuring The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stitch, Peter Pan, and of course, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy. Cade and Benjamin both joined the us (boys Crickett has/does nanny for) and Bo and Sarah came along too. The kids were amazed at everything and watched the show with great enthusiasm.

Stay tuned for more posts soon. I am behind and I am hoping to catch up on the events over the past few weeks!

Fall is finally here...

Well this past weekend confirmed that fall is finally here. The weather started cooling off (chilly even) and we had a fun weekend of Fall parties and pumpkins.

On Saturday the kids and I went with some friends to the Gwinnett Reading Festival. We did the same event last year and it was just as much fun again. The kids enjoy a free book and tons of free storytellings and games. This year's highlights were climbing in the firetruck and getting to see SPIDERMAN!!!

After the Reading Festival, we met up wtih Scott and went to a Halloween Party our one of Harbin's friend's houses. The kids got dressed up in their costumes and all the kids were so cute. Harbin had a last minute costume change the day of the event- he was supposed to be a football player, but the costume is still too big, so he decided to go as a train conductor. Catherine was a ladybug and got really frusterated with her wings (which was so funny), and Lydia was a Pea-in-a-Pod- she LOVED her costume and was so comfy, she just fell asleep.

The party was great. Catherine loved to play in the sandbox and spent most of her time in it. Harbin had fun running around with his friend Gabriel and racing the other kids.

We carved pumpkins, but the kids weren't too much interested in it. Catherine liked looking at the goop but neither kid liked to touch it. Harbin had fun drawing the face on the pumpkin but quickly gave up on carving it (good thing his momma likes that kind of stuff).

Sorry I have been so bad about posting, but my computer has been having major-on-it's-deathbed issues, so I haven't been on as often and when I am, I try to do crucial things like checking emails and paying bills. We are hoping to get some fall pictures this week at the pumpkin patch so hopefully I will have those up later this week.
