4 months...

Maya at 4 months.

I love this little girl. So much.

She is getting so big. She now wears 6 month clothing, sometimes 9 months.
She is starting to drool a lot, and spit.
Starting to try and grab things and gets really excited when toys are in front of her face.
Loves her bouncer and bumbo.
Still no binki, but loves her fingers and sometimes mom's cheek.

Nicknames:
baby sister
Mymy
Missy Moo
Sissy
Sis

3 months.....

3 months have almost come and gone :)

Maya is now almost 4 months. Ugh. Sorry I'm so far behind.

Here are some pictures....

She loves to suck on her finger, especially the middle one.
She loves to 'sing' (video of that to come)
Is a huge momma's girl
Can soothe herself to sleep

She is bald.
She has blue eyes like her sister.
Is wearing 6 month clothing.
Still gets the Cradle Cap. Yuck.
Looks like my Grandpa Moore :)

This kid loves to smile and giggle. She's usually pretty happy (if mom's around).

We can't believe she's almost 4 months. She goes in to the doctor this week for her check-up so I will be posting her stats later.
Ooh, I love this kid.

preschool.....

Brenna started preschool on Tues Sept. 6th at Mrs. Debbie's. She was very excited to go and be a big girl. And mom was excited for her to go and be with other kids.
If you asked her what she was going to learn she would say "ABC's and counting'.
So far, she is loving it.


Brenna and Mrs. Debbie

Brenna and her friend Emery. So glad she has a friend that she already knows in her class!

Brenna, you're such a big girl now. We're so proud of you and love you very much!

labor day.....

Headed down to St. George for Labor Day.

We have sure missed that place.
We swam...

..played a little Playstation...

..and relaxed. (as much relaxing as you can do with 2 kids!) Seriously, this one didn't sleep very well at night down there.
Look at her. All innocent looking like she doesn't know what I'm talking about.
I'm onto you missy.

And swimming wouldn't be complete without Brenna's Lightning McQueen swimsuit.

Yes, we know that it's a boy's suit.

And yes, she LOVES it. (Good thing it's a 3T and getting too small :)
This kid knows what she likes and there's no telling her otherwise.

*sigh*

Miss Maya wanted in on the swimming action too. She loved the water and was smiling and giggling pretty much the whole time.
Which was 10 minutes.
Oh, I love that face.

We love you St. George. Hopefully we'll see you again real soon.

2 months.....

Maya is now 2 months. Each day just gets better and better with her. No more fussiness. Yay!
I love this stage, when she"ll recognize you and smile. She has the feeding part down (and so do I).
She's starting to 'talk' and giggle. She gets her excited face when I lay her on the Boppy, cause she knows what's coming :)
She is such a love. She'll burrow into my arm when I'm rocking her to sleep for cuddles. Mmm, how I love cuddle bunnies.
Overall, I am enjoying her. what a difference a month makes :)

She is sleeping really well at night. Sometimes it's only 4 hours, but most of the time she'll go 6-7 hours. I wish she'd take longer naps in the day, but I'd rather have a good night's sleep :)


Sitting in the Bumbo....

..look at this head.

And Maya with big sister. Brenna is always laying by her and talking to her. I think they'll be best buddies.

Stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 8 oz

Height: 23.75 inches

Love you baby sister!

summer in a nutshell.....

We've stayed busy this summer. My sister Lindsey came into town with her family, so we were always traveling out to Bountiful to soak up as much time with them as possible. It's always fun to have them here!

Every year we have Midvale Harvest Days. And they have a parade that goes right down our street. Brenna missed it last year cause she was sleeping over at my moms. So this year was her first year, and she loved it.
It's just a small, simple one. But we get tons of candy.

My mom rented a bounce/water house for the kids...actually we did it for Noah's birthday, but the kids loved it so much we did it again :) Even the adults got in on the action, but I'll spare you the pics.

..even Maya enjoyed it!

And we decided since Noah was going to be in town that we would have the kids take swim lessons together. But Noah was in the beginner class, and B and Coley were in the 2nd level class. But for sure next year they'll be together since B and Coley didn't pass their level. Ha!

Busy, busy summer. We're sad to see it go so soon!

blessing day.....

We blessed Maya on Sunday, August 7th. It was a hot day.

The blessing was beautiful. Ross did a great job.
I'm grateful for him and the priesthood he holds.
I'm grateful for the family and friends that came to support us. And those who brought food :)

And especially to Cammie who made her dress. Loved everything about it.

Look at these two. 

Love them.
