Evie and Harrison

Before I forget all of these sweet moments I want to document as much as I can about my babies! They are growing up so fast and I just wish time would slow down! Watching them discover and learn new things is so much fun. I am so blessed to have a job that allows me the whole summer off with them.




Harrison is 16 months old and such a chunk! His "little" belly always pokes out and it's the cutest thing ever. He is still wearing 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers. Harrison loves his milk! His favorite foods are pizza, spaghetti, chicken, cheese, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, yogurt, green beans, and applesauce. If it is something he really likes he wants a lot of it, but if it something he doesn't like he starts throwing it on the floor. He will definitely let you know when it is something he doesn't want. 
Harrison is an awesome sleeper! He sleeps about 12 hours at night and takes 1-2 naps a day. If we are home he will take 2 naps and if he just has his afternoon nap he sleeps for up 3 hours! Baby boy loves his crib and his wubanub! The best part of summer is when I get to see him wake up. He is such a happy boy when we walk in his room in the mornings. I just kiss him all over his face!! 
Harrison loves to play and normally only wants Evie's toys(of course). Sharing toys is a major struggle in our house. If Harrison is playing with one of Evie's toys she immediately wants that toy even if she hasn't played with it in weeks! I love to watch Harrison play because he always finds something random and plays with it. He seems as if he is on a mission running from room to room. It's so funny to watch him! He is ALWAYS on the go!
He recently has discovered an obsession for the vacuum cleaner. Every morning he points to the door where the vacuum is and INSISTS that I vacuum. He gets Evie's minnie vacuum and follows me around. It's so funny because he seriously gets upset if I don't actually vacuum. At least he is helping me keep my floors clean!:) 
Harrison LOVES his sister. He lights up whenever he sees her. When they were still in school I would pick up Evie first and then we would go to Harrison's room and he would run to her first and give the biggest hug! He still does that with her now. He just recently started saying "E-E" for Evie. Gray and I about died when we heard him say it the first time.
He is "talking" all the time, but most of it you don't know what he is saying. Some of the words he says are Dada, Momma, E-E for Evie, nana, hey and hi, uh-oh, and ball. He points to things he wants and will shake his head at stuff he doesn't want. He loves Murray and always wants to love on him. 
Harrison is the SWEETEST, cutest little boy ever! I seriously kiss his face about 100 times a day. He is a Mommy's boy and he gives the best hugs and (slobbery) kisses. His face lights up when you walk in a room and anytime you look at him he smiles. His eyes...oh his eyes will MELT your heart! I absolutely love being a "boy" mommy! 



Evie just turned 3 years old and is full of personality! She is in the 99th percentile for height which we figured!:) We have one tall girl! Evie absolutely loves fruit. She eats bananas, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, honey dew melon, cantaloupe, grapes, and her favorite one, pineapple. We normally have to cut her off because she would keep eating it! Overall she is a really good eater which we are very thankful for. Evie's favorite sweet treat is a pink donut with sprinkles! Evie loves to go out to dinner so she can eat lemons. She loves lemons. We have to order her a water and a side of lemons. We allow her to eat 1-2 before her meal and maybe one after. 
Evie is an "okay" sleeper! She sleeps about 10 hours most nights and normally takes a short nap. Evie loves to stay up late at night. She stalls so bad at bedtime and it drives me crazy! She loves for her daddy to tell her stories so I let him stay in there with her. Most nights he has to lay on her floor until she falls asleep! (He's the best!!)
Evie loves playing with her baby dolls and barbies. Her new favorite thing is to go in her room, shut the door and play. She keeps her door shut for one reason only...to keep her brother out. She is extremely particular about how things are set up and not letting anyone mess with it. I love to just watch her play because her imagination is just so awesome. Evie also loves music, dancing, Peppa Pig, books, and playing outside. She LOVES swimming and asks if we can go to the pool just about everyday! We are planning to take swimming lessons in a few weeks. 
Evie will allow Harrison to play with her on occasions. Normally he takes what she is playing with and then she gets upset, takes it, which leads Harrison to get upset. It makes for some fun days!:) She does love her little brother though. She calls him "buddy" and it's just the cutest thing ever! She also likes to call him pookie-pie! She is a big helper when it comes to helping me when I have my hands full. She will help carry things to the car, help carry a grocery bag in, or go get something when I need it. 
It is so hard to believe Evie is already 3 years old. It feels like yesterday that I was spending my summer with a newborn. She has such a soft heart and just so incredibly sweet. She will tell me she loves me out of the blue and will give me a hug and a kiss. She is a mommy's girl especially with me being home for summer. I love my little girl so much and just feel so blessed that I get to be her mommy!

Father's Day

I am so blessed to have an awesome dad who has always been by my side no matter what and an awesome husband who is the best daddy to our babies! I love a day devoted to them because they 
deserve to feel extra special! 
There is nothing greater than watching your children interact with their daddy. Gray is such a devoted father and I couldn't ask for anyone better! He does so much for us and always makes us feel so loved! 
We had a great Father's Day! We had lunch with family and friends at Lexington Country Club and then visited with my dad later in the day! I love Sundays!!!
