mini me

People are always telling me that Makayla looks exactly like me, and I knew we looked alike, but didn't see how we looked "SO" much alike until this picture. 

 

 

Love this spunky babe of mine, she sure is a beauty!

Slow Down

Seriously how did 6 months already go by?! This little light of our life is going to be a year before we know it, even though it feels like he was just born 3 months ago.  Robbie is our sweet amazing little boy and we can not be more blessed to have him as a part of our little family.

 

 

 Is this face not the sweetest you've ever seen!

 

 

Robbie is still my snugly baby, I'll be sad when he stops (but hopefully he never will )

 

He is eating baby foods really good now. We have only introduced rice cereal, applesauce, and green beans, but he can now open his mouth and eat big amounts without having it all come out of his mouth, he likes his little sippy cup (shown in picture) but still working on figuring it all out.  Can you believe he is trying to crawl.  He gets on all fours and rocks back and forth and shoots himself forward...ahh I was hoping he wouldn't start crawling until around 8 months, but looks like we are going to have an early crawler on our hands again, at least he didn't start at 5 months like his sister.  He is also getting pretty good at sitting on his own without support.  Really time needs to slow down because I am not ready for this boy to be doing all of these things.

 

These two still are best of buds and love each other so much.  So grateful that they get along so well and love to play together.  Makes life much easier and brings so much joy to my heart.

 

Robbie's Stats...

 

- Weighs 13lbs 11oz... 1 percentile

 

- 15th percentile in height

 

- 5th percentile in head circumference

 

He may be tiny, but he is healthy and active and that is what matters the most!

 

* on a side note... I am putting this on here for later when he is older he can read and either be extremely embarrassed, or really proud cuz we all know how boys are, but I would notice other little boys....um pee pee's and noticed that Robbies is not so little, well I asked the doctor today and she said that his is in fact "big" lol and that "dad should be proud" haha oh my I just died laughing so yes he is in fact a little man already! (don't judge that I'm actually posting this I am quite embarrassed)



"big" girl

The day has finally come where my little girl has started preschool.  I remember thinking when she was just a little baby how weird it would be when she is in school and even though this is not kindergarten it is still school and It is still crazy to me how much time has gone by.  I am super excited to see how she grows developmentally throughout the year. Lately it has become apparent to Rob and I that she is a big girl now just by the way she talks and expresses herself.

This is a very exciting time for us all and we are so proud of our little girl or "big" girl as Makayla would have us say.

Summer Fun!

Just a warning there are a ton of pics...

We had my family reunion and Rob's family reunion back to back so we were able to spend almost 2 weeks in Cali and it was crazy fun. We went to Sea World, lounged on the beach, played at the park, went swimming, played games and ate a lots.  It was a very needed trip and so much fun!

 Makayla and her cousins Tavian and Marek

at the end of the night she got so cold at Sea World so her aunt Lacey zipped her in her jacket to keep her warm

Robbie's first time at the beach (he doesn't look too happy) but he loved it.



playing with Grandma Miller



the kids and Lacey spending lots of quality time together

Lacey stayed the night with us a couple of times in SD and we had to get a pic of her and I snuggled up in bed wearing our fun retainers lol

the girls playing in the sand. They all played so great together

the Miller clan minus Katie, Derek and their kids



sporting uncle Nicks motorcycle helmet

this was water from the aftermath of a big rainstorm we had in AZ, she took all her clothes off and loved every second of it. I must be a pretty awesome mom to let her swim in that filth, she had way too much fun I didn't want to ruin a good time

 this was hilarious, Makayla was playing in the water, the next thing we knew she plopped down in the sand face first and didn't move for around 3 min, she almost fell asleep it was so funny!

found Robbie trying to eat m&m's

Love our fun summer vacations.
