My loves...

I never imagined that I could have so much love for these 2 sweet little babies!! They are truly the light of my eyes!! I love the way they love each other.. I love the way that LA will take a toy to Cash if he is fussing or if he gets hurts she is the first one over saying "It's okay big boy!" I love the way his eyes light up when she decides that she wants to play with him. The twinkle in his eyes and the smile on his face are priceless!! I love the way Cash looks at LA and tries to talk and only jibberish comes out and LA will look at me and say "Mommy what's he saying?, He's being silly again!" I love the way that LA wants to feed Cash his bottle!! I Love how this little girl will look up at me when I'm putting her to bed and say"Good night Mommy...the end.. I love you!" Melts my heart every time. I love the way this little boy like to snuggle with me.. I especially love when he decides that he needs to take a nap with me! ;) I even love how busy they keep me running around after them! Have I told you how much I LOVE these 2!?!

My sweet sweet Lily Ann..

This picture says it ALL!!! This little girl also holds my heart in the palms of her little hands!! What can I say about this little firecracker!?! She is truly pure entertainment 24/7!! Or as Eddie calls her sweet&sour! She will be sweet one minute and then the next minute she is sour!! LOL!! I can't believe she will be 3 in a couple of months. It blows my mind! She is so smart and she knows it! She is our little actress! LA started speaking with a British accent about 6 months ago! And when I say a British accent I mean a British accent. We would have people stopping us just to hear her talk.. Of course I am her Mommy and am around her 24/7 so I never really heard it until I went back and was watching some of her videos.. Well now that sweet British accent has been replaced with a deep southern accent.. HAHAHA!! I am not kidding either! Like I said pure entertainment.. She is my little helper! Loves loves loves to help me clean and take care of Cash! She is such a help and truly keeps me laughing ALL day long!!

My little Cashman!!

This little man holds a huge piece of my heart in his tiny little hands!! He is honestly my sweet baby boy! He is still a Mommy's boy and I LOVE every minute of it! He is doing so much now. No don't worry he's not crawling (even though he will be 1 in less than 2 weeks!)he can roll and army crawl to get there faster! He is pulling up and cruising around his "cage"(play yard). He is starting to eat table food and loves it!! I have to really watch because LA is such a great big sis that she will take it upon herself to try and feed him her food! ;) He still takes 4 7oz bottles a day. We are working on the sippy cup but he really doesn't care too much for it. Lets face it! This little man just started holding his own bottle!! Yes, you read that right.. We(our family) have been trying to get him to hold it for months and he would refuse. I would even lay it on his belly and let him scream thinking that eventually he would grab it but no he wouldn't!! Wouldn't you know as soon as Jacob got home from his last deployment he says "I'll get him to hold his bottle!!" His Mom and I laughed saying yeah right... Good luck! Sure enough Jacob handed him the bottle and he took it no questions asked.. You should have seen the look on Jacob's face when he did this. I'm glad that at least Jacob got in one of Cash's first! ;) Although Cash looks big he's only 21 lbs. (40% for age)and 29 1/2 inches long (64% for his age) I was shocked when I took him in for his 9 month check up, 2 weeks ago! ;) In less than 2 weeks my baby is going to be a year old! I honestly can't believe it!! Where has the time gone!?!

Has it really been that long...

I got on here figuring I should update since it has been a while.. But now I am sad because my last post was in November of last year. To say the least we have been so busy since then.. Life with an almost 3 year old and an almost 1 year old is very hectic and honestly at the end of the day I am exhausted and posting a blog is the last thing on my mind.. But today that changes.. I will make at least 1 post a week from here on out. My babies are growing up so fast and are doing so many things that I easily forget. And I don't want to miss on second of these sweet babies lives.

Like I said the past 8 months have been very busy. The babies(Yes they are my babies, I refuse to believe that they are growing up! ;) )and I have been in Arkansas for about 7 of those months. Yes that is right.. We have actually been with Jacob maybe 6 weeks out of the past 8 months! We are enjoying this short time that we have with him now! (only 45 days)By the time that he gets back from this next deployment we will have seen him for a total of almost 3 months total in a year. And he is only scheduled to be home for a little less than 4 months over the next year. We are counting down the days til our time on this ship is up.. I am ready to have my husband home and so are the babies..Okay enough of my pity party. I'm going to update you on the 2 most precious babies in the world in the next two posts!!

Cash is 4 months old!!

It seems time has gotten away from me again! I just realized that I didn't get a post up of Cash at 3 months. I'm horrible I know but honestly by the time I get both babies in bed at night I am pooped! I am going to try and update at least once a week now that things are starting to settle down. (We will see how this works!) Now to the good stuff..

I can't believe my baby boy is now 4 months old. (Well almost 5 since I am so behind!) He has grown so much over the past few weeks it amazes me. He is such a happy baby and is always looking around smiling and talking. He has the cutest laugh but his Sissy is the only one that can get him to laugh and getting her to do that is like pulling teeth. HAHA! Here are some things that Cash is doing at 4 months:

*He weighs 14lbs 3oz. (I fed him a 5 ounce bottle right before we weighed him and the nurse laughed! So technically he weighs 5oz. less. LOL! but I'm sticking with the weight!)

*He is 24 inches long.

*He just moved up to size 2 diapers.

*He eats 5 5oz bottles a day and twice a day still gets his medicine for his reflux.

*He takes 3 naps a day 2 one hour naps and 1 two hour nap.

*He sleeps from 8ish-815. He's such a good sleeper like his Sissy.

*He is still rolling over from his tummy to his back and will get about half of a roll trying to roll back.

*He has found his voice and LOVES to talk. I think he is going to be like LA and talk every ones ears off.

*He is just now starting to wear 3-6 month clothing. (I was so sad when I had to pull those out and put up the NB clothes.)

*He loves his bath time!! Sometimes I will put him and LA in the bath with me (This is when he really laughs because he has Sissy's undivided attention)

*He no longer likes to be rocked. When he is ready for bed he is ready to be put down no questions asked.

*He is definitely a Momma's boy. He loves his Mommy and he lets it be known. (This makes me very happy!!) ;)

Cash you are growing up so fast it just amazes me and your Daddy! You are discovering something new everyday and we love to see you grow. Although, I wish you would stay small and be my sweet baby boy! We love you so much and are so happy that God has blessed us with you!

This little girl loves the HOGS!!

The video explains itself!! This little girl really thinks that the Hogs are going to get her out of trouble..(And they did!! LOL!!)

Guess who is in a big girl bed.....

The other day I had just got done feeding Cash a bottle and was Skyping with my GF Bonny. When I hear crying coming back from LA's room. I didn't think anything of it at first because sometimes she will cry just to get out of taking her nap. Well next thing you know I hear this knocking coming from her door and her yelling "I'm stuck I'm stuck!" I yelled at Jacob who was in the garage working on his motorcycle and put Cash down and ran back to her room. Sure enough there she was standing on the other side of her door crying. Somehow she managed to get out of her crib. How we still don't know! Her crib is big and the mattress is almost all the way to the floor! Any ways that was enough for me. I have always said as soon as she climbs out of it we are converting it to her toddler bed. I couldn't live with myself if she fell and broke and arm or really hurt herself!

(LA was out in the garage with her Daddy before bed w/out shoes on and I forgot to wash her feet! LOL!!)

LA has done so good with the transition to her "Big Girl Bed"! I thought for sure we would be up all night with her trying to get her to stay in bed. So far that has not been the case. The only problem is that now she is getting up so much earlier. Luckily she will get some books and toys and get back in bed for about half an hour. When she is ready to get up she will knock on her door and yell "Hewooo" until we get her! Silly Girl!!

I say that LA has been really good about sleeping in her bed and that was before this afternoon's nap! I put her down for her afternoon nap and I thought she was sleeping! About a hour later I hear her in her room and I go to get her up! As I open the door all I see is a wall covered in black crayon. As I continue to walk in and turn the corner I notice another wall that is covered in black crayon. So I turn around to tell LA that she is in trouble just in time to notice more black crayon on another wall and her closet doors! I about died and so did her Daddy. Luckily Nana is one smart woman and got rid of all of LA's crayons and bought her washable crayons.. THANK GOODNESS!! And you better believe that this little girl cleaned those walls and got a big talking to! I don't see her doing it again anytime soon! (Knock on wood) We searched up and down for the "black crayon" and guess where is was? Yes it was under her bed.. I think she was planning on redesigning her room some more!!
