6 Months!

 

😭 it's going too fast, y'all!!! We were just finding out we were expecting again. We were just afraid of another loss. We were just figuring out how to live in a pandemic while pregnant. We were just heading to the hospital again and again only to be sent home. We were JUST wondering when in the world we'd get to meet our daughter. And yet here we are, with a 6-month old who.....

- is sitting

- is crawling

- is asking to be picked up

- is babbling away

- is consistently rolling from belly to back 

- is obsessed with her toes and tongue

- has two teeth

- loves her brothers, her kitty, baths & books

- eats one meal a day with us at supper

Accomplishments we aren't the proudest about consist of arching her back and screeching when she's angry 😜

We are working on blowing kisses, waving bye-bye and saying ma-ma 😉


Kylie started out getting herself on the perfect sleep schedule and quickly doing 4-6-8-10-12 hour stretches during the night. I thought, "Wow! This girl got all her crazy out in the womb and is making this easy on us!" But then 😜 she started to backtrack, we all got COVID and the teeth started cutting through. Every night is a new story, every morning is a new level of tired, every day is a different schedule of naps - a different time block for getting school done, a new adventure! Back with the boys, I'd be scouring the internet and polling my FB friends for advice, trying different sleep training tips, painstakingly letting her crying it out and begging for sleep. Even though my tank feels empty at times and I grumble as I crawl out of bed at many different hours, as soon as I see her face my soul is filled with joy. I'm embracing it (in this moment anyways). 

We waited a long time for her, endured much heartache and now I can't imagine our life without her making all of us smile like the sun!

Our April!


Taking Lucas' birthday and our Easter extravaganza weekend out of April, the rest of our month was a little low on pictures - but not on cuteness! Especially when they mostly consist of this beauty who can't run away and smiles on demand 😂 


Jeremy and I enjoyed our first fires of the season!

Jeremy got an early birthday present and then we went out and put it to good use, cleaning up our roadside of all the littering we walk by.....

One of our neighbors saw what we were doing 
and came down to reward the boys!

We got Phoebe a TV 😜

Helping Daddy put in some missing screws!

This little girl LOVES her bub!

😂😂😂

Kylie turned 5 months!

And started being big.....

REALLY big.....

And then it was time for Daddy's birthday
(the lighting on these stink)

The boys did such a good job picking out gifts this year! Flag football from Seth and a remote control car from Lucas!


And then the shit hit the fan.....literally.....

The last two weeks of the month we all had COVID. It was hell. It was scary. Jeremy and I have a new found respect for the virus and had moments of regretting not/are now considering getting the vaccine. 

And that's all I have to say about that! 
Here's to a better and brighter month! ✌
