We have made it halfway through a year...how is that possible?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls turned 6 months two days after Christmas (yes I am tardy again...not a surprise!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
6 months has come entirely too fast and while I want time to slow I am enjoying every second with these two and love watching them do new things each day!<br />
<br />
We love these sweet girls so much, especially Parker and they feel the same way about him! Everything he does puts a huge smile on their face and results in giggles! I love seeing the three of them together!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls had a wonderful first Christmas and although they have no idea what was going on or why they were ridiculously spoiled by us and family...they are enjoying all their fun little toys and looking precious in their new attire! </div>

Hi, I'm Missy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03685596845522746731noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076772038334091973.post-39253128951086829612013-12-03T15:39:00.000-08:002013-12-03T15:39:19.236-08:00THREE YEARS OLD!<div style="text-align: center;">
This past Sunday, December 1st...my baby turned THREE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sj65FzAht9c/Up5rHszl-DI/AAAAAAAACPU/HDcMkveQNy0/s1600/Johnson+003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sj65FzAht9c/Up5rHszl-DI/AAAAAAAACPU/HDcMkveQNy0/s400/Johnson+003.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe it? I cant!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cried a few times. Once as I was putting him to bed on his last night as a two year old, then when he got on his big boy bike he got for his bday and finally when my Time Hop app popped up and I saw the pics from the past 3 years and a few fb post that I honestly feel I just posted days ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure how time can move so quickly. Each day he wakes up and does something or says something that just reassures me that he is in fact becoming a big boy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Parker at three...</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
You are absolutely hilarious! You are always being goofy and doing what you can to put a smiles on others face</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
You are so tender hearted and can get your feelings hurt easily. You are so caring of others feelings and get upset when you see others upset or hurting</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
You are so stubborn!! You know what you want and how you want it. Whether that be with food, clothes or how we play with your toys...its your way! It drives me insane at times but I love that you know what you want!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
You became a big brother and you are the best big brother in the world. I was so scared about how having your sisters would affect you. One is a big change, but two is HUGE! You just rolled with it and love them so much! There are times where I can tell you get aggravated but you have been such a champ!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
You LOVE trains, planes, trucks and dinosaurs.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Your favorite things to do are going to the park, riding your scooter, playing outside, doing puzzles and going to school</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
You are still the pickiest eater. We have added a few things to your menu over the past year but not many. Hoping when your sisters start to eat you decide it may be a good time for you too!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
You are potty trained. We decided to give it a try after your sisters came and you nailed it! 3 days and you were good to go in your big boy undies!! So proud...I feared potty training!</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
You are starting to ask to dress yourself. The outfits you put together can be pretty interesting!</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love you so much sweet boy and are so proud of the big boy you are becoming! We love watching you learn and grow everyday and we love that you keep smiles on our faces even in the times where you drive us crazy!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Our sweet little angels turned 5 months old the day before Thanksgiving!!</div>
<div align="center">
That means in one short month they will be half way to a year.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
They were right when they said it goes by so much faster the second time around and I really believe that having twins makes it go by even faster!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Feeling like a major mom fail for this late post but our Thanksgiving was so busy, with me hosting 21 family member and housing 12 of them not including my 5...it was a wee bit cray cray to say the least! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The girls are doing more and more each day! They are so much fun and it is getting to a point where Parker is having so much fun watching them now too! He loves when they laugh and babble on and on! He talks baby to them (copying me) and is so sweet. It melts my heart!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here is what our little ladies have been up to:</div>

</li>
<li><div align="left">
she is teething. no pearly whites in site just yet but constantly chewing on her hands/fingers, drooling up a storm and has bouts of fussy ness recently that I believe to be due to teeth. We were gifted amber necklaces from my cousin and are trying them out to see how they help</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">
babbling up a storm</div>
</li>
<li><div align="left">

Miss Morgan rolls over when she feels like it. I think she realized rolling over meant she would result in her doing more than her normal time of tummy time so she avoids it. She still is not a fan of that! </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She scoots everywhere on her back. Lay her on the mat, leave the room and I come back and her feet are where her head was!</div>

As Parker would call it. Actually he refers to any single pumpkin as a Punkin Patch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love going to the pumpkin patch! Something about the feeling of fall and an opportunity for some cute photo opps of my kiddos gets me all excited!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we ventured to a new pumpkin patch (to us) that was "all the rage" from most people I spoke to in our area. So we loaded up and headed out with Aunt DeeDee in tow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OH MY...this place was an absolute mad house. Filled with a plethora of bounce houses and slides, food tents, plywood cut outs of just about any character/show/movie you could ever even begin to think of. They have a tiny train pulled by a tractor that ran around the property that had a line with enough ppl in it to fill Cowboy Stadium (silly parents...I am not that nice!). Needless to say I was slightly annoyed. Afterall, I just wanted a nice pumpkin patch with great little set ups for photo ops and what I got was a pumpkin patch on crack!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But we were there and had just paid to enter and spent 30 minutes parking...so we were making the most of it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After fighting the crowds with my big double stroller we made it in and of course over to the bounce houses! The only thing that made the entire day worth it was how much fun my little guy had. He loves a good bounce house and big slide! He looked so grown up waiting in the lines, shoes off, standing as close to the person in front of him as he could (he had to make sure no one cut in front of him!) The look on his face when he knew he was next was almost like Christmas morning!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that I got what I came for...a few pictures of my littles and our family with the pumpkins!!!</div>

The girls were 4 months on Sunday and had their doctor appointment today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the past couple weeks they have really started filling out and putting on that most amazing baby chub! I just love it! Especially because that means all those clothes that have just been hanging in their closet are finally getting some wear!</div>

grabbing at everything. if it is in reach, she will get it and shake it and sometimes hit herself in the face with it...ouch!</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
kicking around like crazy...when on her back she is using her feet to scoot herself (slightly, no major movement) around.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
still seeing a physical therapist once a week for her torticollis. We are seeing really good improvements and her pedi thinks at this point any issues will correct themselves as soon as she is sitting up and as her neck gets stronger. We are still going to be proactive in the meantime!</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
she wants nothing to do with her paci anymore. she gets pretty angry when/if I offer it to her...guess that's a good thing in the long run but makes calming her down a times a little harder now!</div>

I know this is almost a week late, but hey life is busy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you believe 3 months have already passed? Me either!</div>

These sweet baby girls are such a blessing to us and we love watching them grow everyday!</div>

<br />
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really love seeing how they are both becoming more aware of each other. Always looking at/for one another and grabbing onto one another while doing playtime, etc. It is so sweet! I pray daily that they will have a strong and close bond and will be each others best friend always!</div>

As you can see this sweet girl is getting so strong and holding her head up like a champ! She actually enjoys tummy time these days! We are so proud and excited watching her build those neck muscles. The stronger her neck gets the easier it will be to work on correcting her torticollis.</div>
</li>
<li>Speaking of torticollis, she is still receiving physical therapy once a week and we are seeing small improvements. She is always very stiff when she wakes up and we do our stretches throughout the day and by evening she seems great. Then overnight she tends to tense right back up. I wish I could stay up all night and make sure she doesn't bring that ear and shoulder together, but I know that's not realistic.</li>
<li>She is smiling and laughing all of the time! </li>
<li>Cooing is also a new favorite hobby! I love listening to them go on and on!</li>
<li>Still sleeping good we put them down around 1030 and they are waking around 7. They eat and fall straight back to sleep for a little bit.</li>
<li>We are still swaddling, but Miss Reese has been showing signs that she may be ready for the swaddling to end! I think we will probably take the swaddle away here in the next few weeks.</li>
<li>She is constantly sucking on her hands</li>
<li>Still wearing size 1 diapers and newborn clothes. Slowly fitting into more and more 0-3 month outfits</li>
<li>She is rolling onto her left side constantly. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>She is getting better with tummy time each day. Still not a huge fan of it. I try to keep her on her tummy as much as I can to help her build that neck strength and also to get her off her back. Her little head has a pretty decent flat spot right now! Pretty much the same as Parkers so I am sure it will round itself out eventually.</li>
<li>Miss Morgan is always all smiles. She is so happy and its rare not to catch her with a smile or a giggle!</li>
<li>She is constantly moving her legs and lifting her little bottom trying to roll to her side, but hasn't quite made it. I think she will be there anyday!</li>
<li>Cooing is also a new favorite hobby! I love listening to them go on and on!</li>
<li>Still sleeping good, we put them down around 1030 and they are waking around 7. They eat and fall straight back to sleep for a little bit.</li>
<li>We are still swaddling and Morgan still seems to love it! Rarely trying to break free!</li>
<li>She is constantly sucking on her hands</li>
<li>Still wearing size 1 diapers and newborn clothes. The 0-3 months still tend to swallow this little lady. Its amazing what a few ounces can do when it comes to baby clothes fitting!</li>

Love these sweet girls with everything in me and cannot believe they are already 1/4 of a year old. Yes, I think about it like that and make myself even more depressed at how quickly the time goes!!</div>

Three weeks ago we decided it was time to try this whole potty training thing out. We have had a little potty for ever now and months back let him pick out a little cars seat to sit on top of our potty. Over the past few months we have asked him if we would like to try to potty. Sometimes we received a yes, most times a no and other times he would run in to the restroom just so he could flush! I mean that is the most exciting part, right!?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it came time to select our "method" I really did not have a clue what I was going to do. I had many people telling me to try this and to try that. For some reason one method that stuck in my head was the 3 Day Method that Katie over <a href="http://thehermannfam.blogspot.com/">Happenings of the Hermanns</a> used with her handsome little guy. She had great success and I loved the way they made it so fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went back and skimmed over her post, took the gist of it and went full force ahead!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday when the hubs got home we packed up our crew and headed to target. Mind you we had been talking to Parker all week about how this weekend he was going to become a big boy who only wore underwear and that we were going to say goodbye to his diapers. He would get really excited at times and other times tell me flat out NO! So we got to target and I sent the boys to the dollar section to find fun/random/cheap toys to fill our toy basket and to pick out LOTS of new big boy underwear. While they did that I picked up some party horns, poster board, stickers and candy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We headed home and continued to hype up to him how exciting potty training was going to be and that we would start it as soon as he woke up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That night I got everything prepped...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nothing my boy loves more than trucks and dinosaurs!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Saturday morning he woke up and we took him straight to the restroom put him on the toilet and threw his diaper away. He did not go that first time, but that was ok. He sat on the potty for a few minutes and that was just fine by us. So we put some underwear on him and let him put a star sticker on his chart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He got a star sticker each time he sat on the potty and a candy if he wanted one. He got a Cars sticker for the chart and a prize if he went to the restroom. We also went completely crazy everytime he went in the potty, screaming, clapping and blowing the party horns! We overloaded him with positive praise and you could see the pride in his sweet little face! We set an alarm for every 15 minutes to the tone of a motorcycle per Parks request. Each time it went off we would run to the rest room. We would make him sit on the toilet for as long as we could each time he went in there. We kept him entertained with potty apps and potty books!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be prepared...we had a TON of accidents that first day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to say by 1 or 2 we had been through 13 pairs of underwear. Each time he had an accident we told him it was okay and immediately put him on the potty. As the day went of I could notice a difference though. He was becoming more aware. I wont lie, that night I still felt a little defeated and had alot of wine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We put him in a pull-up for bed. When he got up the next morning he was dry. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Took him straight to the potty and guess what....he went! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Day two he didn't seem as into our alarm and when we told him to go get on the potty he was kind of fighting us. But we also noticed he wasn't have any accidents. As the day went on we noticed he would just walk off and take himself to the restroom and go on his own and then holler for us (of course we were peeking around the corner but he thought he was on his own...Mr. Independent) He also wanted nothing to do with the cars seat that sits ontop of the big toilet anymore...he just wanted to sit on the big toilet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That day we only had 3 accidents and he woke up with a dry pull-up after nap too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday the hubs went back to work and I was a little nervous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Park woke up dry again and was accident free all day. I constantly asked him throughout the day if he had to go and he would tell me no when he didn't and when he did he would just run in there when I asked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday was a big day because that was the first day that I heard "Mommy, I poopoo" I ran into the restroom(I had been in living room feeding girls) and sure enough he had...in the toilet! Thank goodness we never experienced any accidents with #2!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That day I decided to brave it and let him nap in his underwear...woke up dry!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We still put him in a pull-up that night but when he woke up Tuesday dry we said bye bye to those too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So since Tuesday, August 20th our little guy has been completely diaper free and in big boy underwear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has honestly amazed us! Besides making it fun and adding the little extra details here and there like stickers to the toilet seat, I really take no credit for this success. It was all him and him being ready!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do have to brag. The following weekend we did make the 4 hour road trip to Houston. Since there are many areas along the way where there are no places to stop and some areas where I wouldn't allow us to stop we did put him in a pull-up for the ride. At one stop the hubs took him to the restroom and he was DRY and used the potty there. Once we arrived to my parents we took him straight in and again DRY! He rocks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are so proud of him and SO excited that we got to cancel that monthly shipment of those size 6 diapers from Amazon!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My babies are TWO MONTHS old! I mean I was prepared that time flies by since it did with Parker, but I guess knowing these are my last it makes the time passing quickly even harder for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so in love with these sweet baby girls! <br />
They make our family so complete and we are all just smitten!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We do not go for their 2 month check up until this Wednesday and I cant wait to see how much they have grown! I see them all day everyday so I think its harder for me sometimes to realize how big they are getting but everyone else keeps commenting on how much they have grown!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their little personalities are showing more and more each day, the majority of the time they are all smiles!! They have becomes so alert over the past couple of weeks and its so fun to watch them soaking in everything around them. They love to watch the fan and most of all their big brother running around like a mad man!! He keeps them both pretty entertained. His favorite thing to do is to kiss them and sing them the ABC's!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls took their first road trip this past weekend to Houston to stay with my parents and to visit and meet all of my family/friends. I was a little nervous about the four hour drive with all three kids(Wayne too...I am not that insane to go at it alone). The girls did fantastic. We timed it to where they would eat right before we left and would be eating as soon as we arrived. Traffic had another plan, but we just stopped along the way and fed them in the car, no big deal! They slept the entire rest of the trip! We went down so that I could also host a baby shower for my cousin who is expecting twin boys in October...how fun is that?? Two sets of twins who will be less than 4 months apart!! Christmas this year will be so much fun!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few things about the girls this month...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Reese:</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<ul>
<li>You still have a pretty full head of dark hair, although I am noticing a little thinning and a little more blonde each day. Your brother lost all of his dark hair around 3 months so we will see if you follow in those footsteps</li>
<li>At first I will admit I called you my high maintenance twin, but honestly now it really couldn't be further from the truth. </li>
<li>Your little personality shines through more and more each day and you have a smile that melts our hearts!</li>
<li>You are a good little sleeper. You go down around 9/10 each night and wake around 5/6 for a bottle and then are back to sleep until around 8/9 depending on our morning and where we have to be. We are following the book "12 hours by 12 weeks" just like we did with your brother and we have been happy so far. Still sleeping in your rock n play in our room.</li>
<li>You are so alert and love looking all around. You love being on your play mat and grabbing at the giraffe, the monkey and the rings! Once you get one in your hands you don't let go!!</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<ul>
<li>You are cooing more and more each day. Sweetest sound in the world</li>
<li>Eating 5 4oz bottles a day. You love to eat!!</li>
<li>You love napping in the bouncer and in the table for two.</li>
<li>You are kicker. Those long little legs of yours never stop moving!</li>
<li>Still wearing newborn clothes. I have tried to get you into a few 0-3 month outfits and there have been one or two I have rigged to work.</li>
<li>We just put you in your first size 1 diaper today (ran out of Newborn). They are a little big, but not huge and I am sure you will be filling them out in no time!</li>
<li>You are going to see a Pediatric Physical Therapist next week for an evaluation. We have noticed you like to cock your little head to the left and your pedi noticed your neck muscles were a little tight so we are going to have you looked at for <span dir="auto">Torticollis. More updates on that next week.</span></li>
<li>Update: we had your 2 month appt and you are 9lbs 14oz and 22 inches long</li>

WOW! I cannot believe that it has already been a month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time sure does fly by when you are having fun!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Miss Reese didn't feel like waking for pics!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past month has been so incredible, so much fun and oh so tiring all at the same time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I honestly didn't know if I was going to be able to do it. You know, handling two newborns and a toddler every day alone. But I have done it and we are all still alive! I will admit when my hubby walks in the door he typically has at least one child being thrown in his direction while I spout out some excuse about wine or a target run that must happen at that exact moment. But at the end of the day he comes home to three happy, bathed and fed children and a clean house. I on the other hand am usually none of those things...except happy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reese and Morgan have made our family complete and I honestly feel like we have just slid into this new stage as a family of five pretty seamlessly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls are so sweet and are such good babies. Parker is the most amazing big brother and while we still experience bouts of what has to be the trying threes, he has done great with this huge transition!</div>

Here are some things about the girls at one month old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
REESE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
<ul>
<li>You are our feisty one. I like to refer to you as my high maintenance one! You know what you want and like and are not too shy to let us know.</li>
<li>When its time to eat, its time eat and you do not like anything to delay that. </li>
<li>you are still getting breast milk but we are supplementing with formula. You weight is finally moving in the right direction. We go Wednesday for your 1 month visit, but last week you weighed 6lbs 7oz! You eat every three hours through the day and go for a little bit longer stretches at night.</li>
<li>you love your sleep. you will pass out anywhere and you don't like to wake up until you are ready (case in point, your 1 month pics!!)</li>
<li>you love being held upright and resting your head and arm on our shoulders. I love this and would hold you like this all day if I could! Such a snuggler!</li>
<li>you are still wearing premie clothes. we have a few newborn outfits that we make work but for the most part they slide right off you.</li>
<li>you are starting to smile more and more everyday! nothing melts my heart more!</li>
<li>you are a pro a getting your arms out of your swaddle. </li>
<li>You have a head full of dark hair (for now) and it is crazy long in the back. You love to take your fingers and twirl your hair...its precious!</li>
<li>you LOVE bath time. as soon as you hit the water a complete sense of relaxation comes over you and you start to doze off by the end of it!!</li>
<li>you flip out every time I change your clothes. You do not like having things pulled over your face/head.</li>
<li>you love tummy time. we are doing it more and more trying to get your neck strength up. I have to fight to keep you up and going. Take my eyes off you for a second and you are snoozing on the mat!</li>
</ul>
<br>

<br>
<ul>
<li>You are my laid back baby girl! You are calm in almost all situations. I wish I could take credit, but you get this from your dad.</li>
<li>You are always just looking all around and taking it all in. Always so alert and never wanting to miss out what is going on around you.</li>
<li>you are still getting breast milk but we are supplementing with formula. You weight is finally moving in the right direction. We go Wednesday for your 1 month visit, but last week you were weighed 6lbs 1oz! You eat every three hours through the day and go for a little bit longer stretches at night.</li>
<li>you love being swaddled up. you seem completely content and never try to break free!</li>
<li>you are still wearing premie clothes. we have a few newborn outfits that we make work but for the most part they slide right off you.</li>
<li>you love the swing and despise the bounce chair (just like your big bro)</li>
<li>you do amazing with tummy time and are always moving all around and lifting your head up and turning it from side to side.</li>
<li>you are starting to smile more and more everyday! nothing melts my heart more!</li>
<li>you have a head full of thin brown hair and it is long in the back too.</li>
<li>you LOVE bath time. as soon as you hit the water a complete sense of relaxation comes over you and you start to doze off by the end of it!!</li>
<li>you almost seem relaxed when I change you and put bows on your head! I see lots of dress up in our future!</li>
</ul>
<br>
<div align="center">
You girls are such an amazing blessing and we are so in love with you!</div>

Hi, I'm Missy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03685596845522746731noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076772038334091973.post-39908825736010200182013-07-23T11:50:00.000-07:002013-07-23T11:50:19.878-07:00The Nursery<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited to decorate a nursery again. I had so many ideas going through my head and onto my pinterest boards as soon as we found out we were expecting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finding out we were blessed with twins slightly threw things for a loop. I know most people think, just add another crib...but it didn't prove to be that simple for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think mainly due to the fact that some of the looks I had in my head were a little bold in color or a little high in price. Both of which would cause them to be a little too much for the nursery!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the start I knew I wanted to use the white Jenny Lind spindle crib (exact crib I had as a baby!).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a great crib and the size and price made it even better when having to have two!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next came the bedding. I searched everywhere and ended up falling in love with a set from PBK. I did end up doing a little tweaking to it and I LOVE it! Fun patterns, but light enough in color that it doesn't make the room look too busy! It photographs much brighter than it is in person.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I purchased extra sheets and had the original ties removed from bumper and these added. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> Original ties were very thin and were in same material as bumper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the other pieces in the room were just fun finds along the way. I loved being able to create a lot of the room myself and loved refinishing a lot of the pieces for the room. I threw in my love for burlap here and there with the curtains and bows hanging the girls monograms.</div>

I am I really happy with how their nursery turned out. We still have a handful of little things to do in there to make it complete and I will share those as they happen!!</div>

I loved having monthly pictures documenting how Parker changed and grew over his first year, so of course I will be doing the same thing for the girls!!</div>

Now I just hope and pray that these months do not fly by too quickly!</div>

Very happy that delivery and hospital stay were both very uneventful. I prayed for this my entire pregnancy. So many things can occur with any baby, even more so with twins, so we are so thankful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls are now almost 2 weeks old and they have been doing wonderful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both have a little jaundice (currently sleeping infront of a window!) and we are going tomorrow for another weight check because both lost a little more weight since we left the hospital. I am supplementing with one ounce of formula with Reese after each feeding. Fingers crossed for a good visit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that we are just in a snuggling, swaddling, kissing, diaper changing mode around here!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could just stare at them all day! Still cannot believe that they are ours...God is so good!</div>

8 weeks or less until our baby girls make their debut!!!<br />
(tomorrow will make 7)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been so horrible about blogging about this pregnancy. Its just I cant seem to find the time and I also have had a hard time finding a good source as to what is really going on each with with multiple births. When I was preggo with Park, I got the weekly emails from babycenter and what to expect, but they dont give an option or send special info for twins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things have been going great and I am growing each day!! The girls are weighing upwards of 3 pounds each now and at my last appt, my belly was measuring 37 week (I was 29 weeks)! Wowza!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel good overall, just getting tired easy and find myself getting out of breath going up and down stairs 100 times a day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have yet to be put on any form of bedrest (knock on wood) and have just really tried to do my best at not overdoing it. My main issue is picking Parker up. I know they tell me not to, but I have to...he is my baby still and when he needs me, well he wins over stupid rules.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

We had such a wonderful Easter this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that we are home and our familes can be with us to share in these special days with us!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My parents came up from Houston for Easter and we had so much fun. We dyed and decorated Easter eggs, did eggs hunts with Park, attended an amazing Sunday service and had a wonderful brunch with family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Parker was so much fun this year. He really loved decorating his eggs and loved hunting for eggs. His favorite item had to be confetti eggs though...I am still finding confetti all over the place!</div>

Hi, I'm Missy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03685596845522746731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076772038334091973.post-39323063334157987252013-03-07T08:43:00.000-08:002013-03-07T08:43:34.453-08:00There names will be...<div align="center">
We are no longer refering to our sweet girls as Baby A and Baby B!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
We now call them by their names, Reese and Morgan!!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Reese (baby a) Morgan (baby b)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
It took us<em> </em>a little time to finalize on names, but I LOVE them!! </div>
<div align="center">
We always seem to have a little trouble when it comes to girl names. When we were pregnant with Parker we never came up or agreed on a girl name and this time around we had boy names set once again.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So we sat down made a list and started to narrow it down...we only had 4 names, so it didnt take too long. Reese had been a favorite of mine from the start and Morgan a favorite of Waynes. See aside from being a double blessing, twins allow each of us to get our favorite!! </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Diane is my sisters name and also the middle name of my sister in law, so I had always thought I would use it if we ever had a little girl. Kate was one of our favorite names, but we would have used the name Kathryn and called her Kate. Since I have a cousin on each side of my family named Kathryn and a great Aunt, we chose to just use Kate as a middle.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I love being able to refer to my sweet girls by their names now! </div>
<div align="center">
Let the monogramming begin!</div>

Today makes me 16 weeks preggo with these precious babies!! Three weeks and I will be half way! (19 weeks = halfway with twins!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the past week or so I can finally say that the <strike>morning </strike>all day sickness has passed, knock on wood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have remained tired. I do fine in the mornings and early afternoon, but as soon as 4 o'clock hits, I am USELESS!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far this pregnancy has been completely different than my pregnancy with Park</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With him I was sick all day, literally. This time I just felt sick all day, but only actually got sick once. Honestly, I would rather get sick than feel sick. At least there were moments of relief.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have already been dealing with heartburn, which was never an issue with P.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We go on Feb 11th for our big ultrasound. That weekend we are hosting a gender reveal party for our family and close friends! I am super excited to get to do this! We were in PA when I was preggo with Park, so almost all of our pregnancy news was told over the phone. So happy to be home and be able to share these special moments with those closest to us!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will definately keep you guys posted! We don't care either way when it comes to gender. Although I will have to say I adore being a "boy mom"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I keep feeling like they are boys, but not like I did when I KNEW Park was a boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My doctor keeps giving me this smirk and says he puts his money on girls!<br />
We will see soon enough!!</div>

Hi, I'm Missy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03685596845522746731noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076772038334091973.post-6342305571927185802013-01-03T19:13:00.002-08:002013-01-03T19:13:56.127-08:00Babies!<div style="text-align: center;">
It is still very weird to type babies, plural.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We saw our sweet little ones this morning and they were precious and more important...they were in 2 separate sacs!! Thank you for the prayers!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had our 2nd sono this morning and I went in a complete ball of nerves with my blood pressure through the roof. They started out doing a basic belly ultrasound and as soon as we saw our little ones the tech noted that they looked great and were moving all about. My first question..."are they in separate sacs?". She said she could not confirm or see a separation and that they were very close together which may be the cause of not being able to see. I of course broke into tears.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She continued to reassure me all was going to be okay and decided that we would switch to an internal ultrasound for a better picture and as soon as we got an image of my precious babies we clearly saw the wall between them. I honestly felt the weight lift right off my shoulders!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything else with the appointment went great. Babies are measuring right on track with baby B measuring slightly larger. Baby B also tends to be the show off of the two. He/She was moving all about and hogging the camera!! She was able to get one clear shot of the two of them.</div>

Our little guy now has a new title around here!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is going to be a BIG BROTHER this summer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were thrilled when we found out on Nov 1st that we were expecting baby #2!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xOygL5xSP1M/UOR2DazKYcI/AAAAAAAAB5g/Gl8lVEbQ5Vc/s1600/DSC_0631.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xOygL5xSP1M/UOR2DazKYcI/AAAAAAAAB5g/Gl8lVEbQ5Vc/s320/DSC_0631.jpg" width="198" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now to throw a little extra icing on top of our good news, at our first sonogram we found out that we were not only blessed with one sweet bundle of joy, but with TWO!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is correct, we are having TWINS!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although we were initially shocked, we could not be more thrilled or feel more blessed!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More details soon on my pregnancy and the day we found out there were two!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I just ask you send many prayers our way. We have another ultrasound tomorrow to determine if the babies are in one sac or two seperate. We are praying for two seperate as sharing one is very high risk and could result in many complications. So please send your prayers for our sweet babies!</div>

On Saturday, December 1st our sweet baby boy turned two years old. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still completely unsure how two years has flown by so quickly, but it has and it has been by far the best two years of my life!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still feel like it was just yesterday that I saw your beautiful face for the very first time. I was in love at the first sound of your heart beating, but the moment I heard your sweet cry and saw your beautiful face it was over, my heart belonged to you</div>

You have the most amazing little personality. We have seen it shine through since you were so tiny and today it remains the same! So laid back, calm and kind (like your daddy), although you for sure have your moments where you become tempermental and want things your way (that may be from me!). I love your sweet smile and how loving you are to those around you!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like just yesterday that I was carrying you everywhere and feeding you your first bites of food. You have grown to be so independent and trusting, which makes me so proud and so scared all at the same time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You entertain your daddy and I all day long (as well as anyone else around)! You have the best little sense of humor! Always trying to get others to laugh and always laughing at yourself! Your laughter is my favorite sound!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love watching you learn and grow, everyday you do something new and you always seem to amaze me.</div>

<br />Hi, I'm Missy!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03685596845522746731noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076772038334091973.post-62432628393204172782012-11-09T07:41:00.000-08:002012-11-09T07:41:44.614-08:00End tables + Annie Sloan Chalk Paint = LOVE<div style="text-align: center;">
So I had heard about <a href="http://www.anniesloan.com/">Annie Sloan chalk paint</a> through some DIY/home blogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always loved the end results I saw, but always figured that it had to be harder than they made it look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is until Brandi over at <a href="http://borchardtbirdies.blogspot.com/">Borchard Birdies</a> started posting on Instagram and her Blog about all of her projects with the Annie Sloan paint and she swore it was really that easy to use!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see her projects <a href="http://borchardtbirdies.blogspot.com/2012/10/another-awesome-weekend-painting.html">here.</a> She did her bathroom cabinets, kitchen island and a couple other little projects in her home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Grandmother has recently given me some old Ethan Allen end tables that had been sitting in her garage. I loved the tables, how sturdy they were, the quality and of course that they were hers. But I was not in love with the maple color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So of course I instantly think project. Maple tables need to meet chalk paint!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I ventured out to a little shop close by that happens to sell the paint, picked my color and by the next day I had two brand new (to me) end tables!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Believe me, the pictures do not do them justice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This chalk paint allows you to do as little or as much distressing as you choose, but I chose to go a little more subtle in that area for these tables.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No priming or sanding, just paint and wax!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My parents came in town a couple weekends ago and we actually had some fall weather here in TX, so we decided to make another visit to the pumpkin patch!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The slide was still the show stopper for Park! We had a great time and we even left with pumpkins this time (thanks, Dad!)!!</div>

While at the slide we saw this kid. Look at his eyes. If those are not creepy enough, I asked him where he got them and he said a gas station. Umm, hello parents...you do not allow your children to put items in their eyes especially items sold in convenient stores. Some ppl I will never understand!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I still had to get a pic!</div>

We had such a great Halloween! We have never really been big Halloween people, but it is so much more fun when you have a little one!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was not sure how Parker would do going door to door so I decided to invite some friends and family over for dinner, drinks and trick or treating. I thought it would be fun for Park to have some other kids to enjoy the festivities with and hopefully follow their lead going door to door!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He spent the majority of the night riding in his wagon, but did get out and trick or treat the last street of houses we visited. He was more into handing out his candy than collecting. Which was quite okay with his momma and her thighs!!</div>

My father in law recently retired as Captain of the Fort Worth Fire Department after 30 years of service.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This past weekend, my MIL hosted a suprise retirement party for him to celebrate!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He previously stated he did not want a party, but he ended up having a great time and loved getting to see many of his old friends, family and his firefighter family!!</div>
