This whole process has taken me forever...from finding the right theme/paint/layout and then the little projects in between the BIG project- a bunk bed! Charlotte was over the moon thrilled. I'll never forget the look on her face when we "revealed" it to her for the first time!<br>
<br>
So here's what everyone wants to see- pictures! As far as a theme, there really isn't one. I just collected some whimsy, feminine, soft things that I thought fit the girls' personalities. So there's watercolor floral, polka dots, paisleys, pom-poms, sparkles, and lots of mint and coral. Jonathan says I'm obsessed with mint and coral, and I laughed this off until I took a step back after it was all done and realized "yep, I am."<br>

<br>
First, the bed. This was the biggest change, obviously. It takes up half of their room- but it was worth it! Jonathan and I worked hard (mostly him) on this project...I learned how to drill and we both learned the kregg jig process (what was life before our kregg jig?). We picked out the color together- its the perfect shade of minty/aqua blue without being baby pastelish or in-your-face bold. (If anyone cares, the color is "Fish Pond" from Behr Ultra). So for weeks we had all the wood in the garage, sanding/measuring/cutting it when we had free time. Slowly it started to come together, but since the doorway is standard size we had to carry it into the house in pieces. We laid a new tarp down in the room and primed and painted it right there so speed up drying time. Also, apparently it is best for paint to cure indoors. We quarantined the girls from their room :) This was HARD- all their toys got moved into the hallway and they slept all over the place...on the couch, in our bed, under T's loft bed...I could tell it was difficult for Charlotte. Towards the end she had a few emotional breakdowns about not having her own space...it broke my heart, so I told Jonathan that we had 3 days to finish it and would reveal it a week prior to her birthday (which is in just two days now!).<br>
<br>
I feel like I went to Target or Joanns every day that week... getting all the supplies together was tedious. Initially only Charlotte was getting a comforter but Jonathan said it didn't look right and "They should both be pink". It's pink to him, of course...he's a guy. ;) I was like "Ummm are you sure? That's a LOT of coral...the same comforter comes in other colors..." But he stuck with his opinion and like always...he was right. Two pink/coral/whatever-color-you-wanna-call-it beds looked perfect in the space.<br>
<br>
And oh my heck, yall...when I thought up this idea of making them a bed I totally forgot about all that other stuff like sheets and pads and OH YEAH! Mattresses. Those are kind of important...thank goodness we found some for a decent price. (still...ouch to our wallets!)<br>

My favorite thing on their bunks are these pillows I made. I saw this fabric a few months ago and knew it would be perfection in their room. It's the inspiration for the entire room- those colors! The watercolor designs! I just die every time I look at it. I added the pom-pom trim for a little bit of spunk.<br>

Before the bunk bed, there was a crib and a toddler bed. We demolished the crib- it was falling apart. It did us well for three babies, but honestly Penelope hated that thing and there was no point in keeping it around. We repurposed the front of C's toddler bed into a cute little bench. I used the same lovely fabric to cover the foam seat.<br>

Above the bed are these three prints. Words to live by :)<br>
<br>
I want to add that the BEST picture frames for kids rooms are found at Ikea- they are super inexpensive and instead of glass, it's just plastic! So no worries about them getting knocked over or broken. Also easier to hang since they're so lightweight.<br>

The girls love their room! It's been five days now since we opened it up to them and Charlotte still whispers "thank you mommy for my bunk bed" every time we snuggle up. I love this about her. She is always so grateful and expresses her thanks often- she really does appreciate all the little things. I can't believe she will be 4 this week!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07756354369037757760noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141934846796097402.post-43468207328402975162015-11-10T18:35:00.000-07:002015-11-10T18:35:30.485-07:00Penelope- ONE year old!I've been putting off this post all day...because while I'm thrilled that my sweet baby has a birthday today, it is also sad. No explanation needed- am I right?!<br />
<br />
Anyway, we love her so much. She is such a joy to raise and watch as she grows. Happy birthday Penelope Lynne!<br />

I am beyond thrilled with how little Penelope's costume turned out. We weren't sure what to dress her up as but I had some leftover fabric from C's costume, and I really wanted to have the girls "match" somehow. One day we were reading my favorite childhood book, and suddenly I knew EXACTLY what P should be. It was too perfect!<br />

I will go into some details, but first...<br />
<br />
A Fisherman's Tale:<br />
(I am literally making this up as I write it, so it's not perfect poetry!)<br />
<br />
There once was a fisherman who lived by the sea.<br />
He was a happy lad, but also lonely.<br />
Until one fine day when he cast his line out,<br />
and out came a fish!! Salmon, or trout?<br />

She was neither of those- but a special little fishy.<br />
One who was sparkling, sweet, and squishy!<br />
Her scales boasted purples, blues, and pink-<br />
And in her tiny mouth, a drooly BINK BINK (that is what I sometimes call her binky..ha)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
She was better than anything the fisher could wish-<br />
because at his feet, sat the Rainbow Fish!<br />

haha! I coudn't resist. They are just so cute together.<br />
a few details about her costume: the scales are felt, and because I got lazy at this point in costume-making, I simply hot glued them onto the onesie (with cardboard in between the fabric layers). I sewed the scales to the back loosely by hand, and then the dorsal fin. The tail is scales glues onto more felt :) And those fish eyes! That is a styrofoam ball cut in half with black felt circles as eyeballs. Pretty easy!<br />
<br />
I had to get some shots of the girls together. Ocean buddies!<br />

Happy {early} Halloween!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07756354369037757760noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141934846796097402.post-83971508332711210902015-10-22T22:26:00.001-06:002015-10-22T22:26:16.512-06:00Mermaid CharlotteOver the summer, Charlotte fell in love with all things mermaid. So I knew that making her a mermaid costume for Halloween would just tickle her pink!<br />
<br />
She kept telling me "No, I want to be Ariel." I love Ariel, too, but I snagged some sparkly sequin and fish scale fabric from Joanns over the summer and I wanted to use it! She remained unconvinced...UNTIL she put it on. She couldn't stop smiling, giggling, and twirling her hair :)<br />
<br />

<br />
This costume was somewhat tricky. I had no idea how I would do the tail...so I just started cutting, stuffing, and sewing and this is what I came up with. It's basically an elastic-waist skirt that is shorter in the back (I wanted to be sure she could walk!). The tail hangs down in the front, and underneath she has fish scale pants. Her top was less complicated, I just sewed the sequin fabric to one of her tank tops, and then some fabric flower trim at the neckline. Her floral crown truly took about 3 minutes- it was so easy! Just measured her head with some thick floral wire, then wrapped the flowers and hot glued them in place. I really love blues, purples, and pinks together.<br />
<br />
Anyways, back to my cute mermaid!<br />
Here she is sitting alongside "the ocean", dreaming of what it must be like to have feet ;) (Ignore the very obvious feet sticking out from her tail, HAHA...)<br />

Our costume post is always my favorite. Jonathan and I aren't big on dressing up (okay, I admit I like to dress up Jonathan occasionally) but we get SUPER excited dreaming up costumes for the kiddos. And no, we don't always make them ourselves. But when we do it is extra fun! This year we decided to make costumes and they turned out pretty great, if I do say so myself ;)<br />
<br />
I'm breaking up all the costume pictures so that this post isn't forever long. First up is our little man! Talmage's Papa (my dad) got him the game of Minecraft last Christmas and since then he has become OBSESSED. Actually, our whole family is really into the Minecraft thing. What's not to love? It's basically a boy's virtual dreamworld where he can explore anywhere, build and create anything, and defend himself against the monsters! It is the perfect outlet for Talmage, and he just loves everything about it. So of course, he wanted to be only one thing for Halloween...Diamond Steve!<br />

If you aren't familiar with Minecraft, Steve is the main character and diamond armor is the best kind of armor for its rare quantity and durability. We were too lazy to make the whole suit of diamond armor, so we opted for a diamond blue t-shirt and a diamond sword. The only part of this costume that we had to make was the bucket (dollar store bucket spray painted silver) and Steve head. We covered the head in clear packing tape in case it rains while he goes trick-or-treating. I mean, we do live in Oregon. The tape made it feel sturdier, too. His eyes peek out from a hole where Steve's nose is supposed to be. haha...if you look closely you can see him looking out!<br />
<br />
Here he is doing the typical Steve thing- trekking through forest and gathering food, watching out for creepers and spiders lurking behind the trees, and chopping down trees!<br />

I think that month 11 is the one that really feels as if my baby is so much older. Not quite one year old yet, but I can sense it fast approaching.<br />
<br />
Plus, she is just SO different! She can shake/nod "no" and "yes", babble all day long, take one or two baby steps with assistance, drink whole milk cold, say HI and wave, clap her hands and give high-fives, plant slobbery open-mouth kisses, and sleep in her crib all night long! Yep, we've had quite a few of those nights- they are wonderful!<br />
<br />
I adore this cute little Halloween babe.<br />

See those teeth? She has four now! Two on bottom, one front tooth, and one canine :) Before her front tooth emerged, we chuckled at the fact that she had a "vampire tooth" on top :D<br />

It's not obvious in the pictures but she actually has tiny blonde curls in the back and sides of her head now, too! I love twisting my pinky finger around her locks.<br />

I know this is way late...P turned 10 months 15 days ago...but life is busy! Talmage started kindergarten, Charlotte started gymnastics, and Penelope keeps on growing! haha. She's so fun right now, and also very fussy. Thanks teething and cold sickness. :(<br />
<br />
Some fun things she does right now are: stands up for 2 seconds on her own, says HI and waves a little, chomps ALL food with her teeny toofers on the bottom, shakes her head NO at pretty much everything, and flips through books for gloriously long periods of time (giving me a break from holding/entertaining her constantly).<br />
<br />
She doesn't snort much anymore, which we miss. And she is doing better at sleeping in her crib, which we LOVE.<br />

Our sweet Poppy is 9 months! She's learning so much, growing so fast, and becoming her own little person. We love her more than our hearts can handle!<br />

She still crawls everywhere, but has also recently learned how to cruise along the couch and use the kid chairs as walkers. Can she truly be ready to walk? This can't be happening already.<br />

She has the sweetest, tiniest face. Her lips look like a duck's most of the time. She finally got two bottom teeth!! We thought they'd never come...poor thing had a TERRIBLE time teething.<br />
<br />
My most favorite thing is when she plants kisses directly on our lips. This baby age is so fun :)<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Last week Charlotte told me that she wished she was a mermaid. This was no surprise...everyone in our household is very much aware of how much Charlotte is completely obsessed with mermaids! I started thinking that it would be fun to make a paper doll mermaid that she could dress up. My grandma used to play paper dolls with me for hours when I was little...I still remember how special I felt that she took the time to do that with me. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since I have totes full of felt just gatherin dust in the garage, I decided to go the felt route. Plus felt is great because it doesn't rip as easily as paper and it naturally adheres to other felt surfaces. I began with a simple naked mermaid shape, then added some bead eyes and bellybutton and hand-stitched mouth. To enforce the doll I ironed some stiff interfacing on the back, which I also had laying around in my craft supply pile. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then the outfits! Charlotte insisted on an Ariel and Melody ensemble. If you haven't seen the second Little Mermaid movie, Melody is Eric & Ariel's half mermaid half human daughter. :) </div>

The treasure chest was fun to make. It opens and closes with a button enclosure, and when it's open the button looks like it's part of the treasure hoard. </div>

My favorite part about this craft is that I already had everything on hand, which is helpful since I have like zero desire to go to the craft store with 3 kids. Ha.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Another good thing about this project is that it's perfect for quiet play in Sacrament meeting. We always need more of those kinds of activities :) </span></div>
<div>

<div>
Charlotte loves it, too. She goes through all the outfits then mix-matches them up. She will always be my most favorite little mermaid! </div>

<br>
Our eight month old can be summed up in just a few words...<br>
<br>
drool, snot, and food.<br>
<br>
The drool and snot portions are mainly attributed to teething. She's been teething for months but it seems to have intensified, which hopefully means a toofer (or several!) is on its way.<br>
<br>
And FOOD because it's all she really cares about. Toys? No, gimme food. Naptime? Nope, more food please. Try to soothe my crying with hushes and lullabies? Food. Food is always the solution.<br>
<br>
Any kind of food, really. Cereal...pureed stuff...formula in her bottle...whatever mommy or daddy is eating...whatever lurks under the couch...dust balls...the bottoms of shoes...even sissy's poop clump on the bathroom floor (yes, this really happened.) If it fits in her mouth, it passes as food.<br>
<br>
In fact the only way I got her to cooperate for these pictures is by bribing her with puffs, as evidenced by the puff stuck in her leg rolls.<br>
<br>

I am sure that if she could talk, she'd be saying "PUFF POWER!" as she fist pounds her puff into the air.<br>

I just love this family of mine so much!<br />
<br />
I love celebrating the 4th. My heart swells with pride for our country and the freedoms we enjoy. It bursts with love for my family members, who all share different political views and still respect one another. And it breaks for the men & women who have given so much. We really are so blessed.<br />
<br />
I always like to take pictures of the kiddos on or around holidays. These ones were kinda fun, except the sun was so bright! You can tell by the squinty eyes ;)<br />

This is way late, but here it goes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
at 7 months:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*she wants to be held ALL the time, by me. Just me. The only break I get is when Jonathan comes home and suddenly she's content playing on the floor. (what the...?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*snorts like a little piglet (she's been doing this for a few months but it just gets cuter the more she does it). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*loves baby Einstein movies and will drop whatever she is doing to watch with her mouth gaping open.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*is super (and overly) brave in the water. Like when she's in the bath or kiddie pool she will try to crawl and even puts her face down into the water. I'm always right there to pull her out, of course- but its crazy! She never even cries when she goes under.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*crawls everywhere! And really fast, too. It's really funny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*pulls up on things to stand. Such a big girl!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*says "dada" "mama" & "baba"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*eats all kinds of canned baby food goodness. her favorite snacks are cheerios & mum-mums.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*still sleeps with us...but at least she sleeps!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*teething all the time but still no toofers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*loves sitting outside and watching nature. It is her happy place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*when I hold or rock her, she soothes herself by pinching my nose, putting her fingers in my mouth, and pulling my hair. She's actually mastered how to use both hands to do as many of those as possible at one time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*unlike our other babies, she actually chews on her chewy toys. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*makes the cutest little duck face you ever did see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*is still quite petite. At church she was playing with another baby 2 months younger than her, and that baby towered over her. I hadn't realized until then just how small she really is. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
love you, sweet P.</div>

Half a year already! This can't even be possible :) <div><br></div><div>On that day we were driving back from Utah after spending a week there with family. So this post is a few days late, but we are finally home getting back into the swing of things and laundry is DONE. Bam.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, I'm getting lazier and lazier with blog posts. This time I'm typing it on my phone and I decided to take pictures with my phone, too. They aren't edited and don't look as good probably- but hey, this is saving me tons of precious time ;) </div><div><br></div><div>A few things about our Penelope right now: </div><div>She gets on all fours and puts her bum in the air. We call it "downward baby." Sometimes she will scoot a little bit forwards, sometimes she lands on her face, and mostly she scoots backwards (not her intention, I'm sure). </div><div>She also likes rocking her bum back and forth while on her hands and knees. We call this "revving up". It is so stinking cute :)</div><div><br></div><div>Eats applesauce, pear sauce, bananas, and rice/oatmeal cereal. She's also on formula now. We won't go into all that- but I am sooo happy we made the switch. So happy. I miss breastfeeding only a teensy bit, but it was definitely time to stop. I'm thankful I could make it to 6 months- that is a huge personal accomplishment for me. And I will always hold out hope that I'll make it the full year someday with one of our babies. </div><div><br></div><div>She still only says "da da", but she will say it *constantly*. Sleeps through the night but likes to eat at least once and then again as soon as daddy's alarm goes off. And she sleeps mostly with us...still. We finally got a sound machine so I think that will help her sleep in her crib more soundly. How did we live without one for so long?! </div><div><br></div><div>Penelope is certainly growing like a weed, and it's bittersweet. We love her sweet little self. In Utah lots of family members commented that she looks more like me as a baby than our other two (who were carbon copies of Jonathan!). </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx3-QLhx5PhYh1GO3K5ZEtoex1cqGxL2RLGetNTlm-zx8F6qrvyCwkZgYVCRA73PQi7SOKBMdBiw-gfgS-xYsOQ7I2xwEUjfiqI4CzMWVwy8r3RRFf87qnFKZaEDn7XQW3enYKShtWBQ0s/s640/blogger-image--1478110668.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

<span style="text-align: center;">The next week I turned 26. I feel like birthdays for adults aren't very exciting so we will skip this part, but here are some pictures to prove that we did celebrate ;)</span><br />

We've also been busy going to the beach, smelling the flowers, going to soccer & ballet, riding bikes outside, and taking walks almost every day. This warm weather is the BEST. </div>

Oh, and I've started an obsession for perler beads. If you are familiar with them, you may cringe a little. If not, well...your mind will be blown looking at some perler creations on Pinterest. We found out they are PERFECT for Minecraft stuff, so Talmage and I kinda love it. I may have gone a little nuts and ordered thousands of beads in dozens of different colors...and then spent many hours sorting the beads by color. But hey, it's not an <i>unhealthy</i> hobby, my son thinks I'm much cooler now, and my OCD is thanking me. :D<br />

I'm excited for May!

At her doctor appointment yesterday, our doc said she was tall but her weight was almost under the curve. So we are going to brave the rice cereal soon :) Gotta chunk her up!<br />
<br />
She still isn't sitting up but loves being on her tummy looking at everyone and everything. When she got a cold a few weeks ago she stopped saying "dada" and "mama" and "nana". So I hope when she feels better she will start talking again! Because it was the cuuuutest.<br />

The kids have NOT stopped talking about it. That's probably my fault...I talk about the Easter Bunny maybe a little too much. It's so fun to lie to my kids and get them pumped up about mythological creatures....ha ha, but really, all kidding aside- I love this holiday and I love that its centered around the resurrection of Christ. This weekend we will be enjoying General Conference at home, and it's really the perfect timing. For one, even though the sickness in our household has far improved from last week, I now have the bug as well as my girls. So relaxing at home sounds reeeeally nice. Second, I am in dire need of some motivation and inspiration from the Church leaders right now. Lots of things weighing heavily on my heart and mind. I'm looking forward to listening to our prophet and apostles speak words of wisdom!<br />
<br />
Last week we were able to get out and take Easter pictures of the kids, even though Charlotte and Penelope have a constant stream of snot running out of their noses. I had to edit the boogers and redness out, but you can still tell from the pictures that they are feeling lousy. haha. Maybe I'm a mean mom for making them pose for pictures when they're sick, but....it's for the sake of our family journal! And they had fun, kinda. Afterwards we changed them into play clothes and they played at the park. I'm so glad we got out when we did, because every day thereafter has been rainy and cold!<br />
<br />
Once again, I got shutter happy and took way too many pictures. Ah well...enjoy!<br />

But today I am forcing myself to do it because we had such a wonderful day at the tulip fields and I really don't want to leave it out :)<br />
<br />
Every spring we look forward to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival thats about 30 minutes away. It never disappoints! The tulips were beautiful and the weather was satisfactory minus a bit of a windchill in those big, open fields. :)<br />

After exploring the tulip varieties the kids played on their giant playground. It was the perfect afternoon! I LOVE SPRING!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07756354369037757760noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141934846796097402.post-53939291691046510312015-03-26T14:02:00.002-06:002015-03-26T14:02:40.737-06:00bleh, blogging.It's pretty obvious that I just don't blog as much as I used to. There are a few reasons for this...<br />
<br />
1. My blog design. URG. I can never get it right. I change it like I change my clothes- over & over agin until it feels right...which takes a few dozen tries. I'm still working on it. I really want to get our family out into the mountains to take some fun pictures for the blog layout. We will see if this actually happens or not. Anyways...every time I login to blogger my stomach churns looking at my current "look". *sigh*<br />
I know it's a stupid reason to not blog, but there it is.<br />
<br />
2. Motherhood. Being a mom to three very demanding kiddos has taken most of my time & energy. Um, I mean ALL of my time & energy. I decided I needed to take time out for me for <i>at least </i>30 minutes a day, and is that thing blogging? Nope. Sorry, blog. It's usually working out or baking. And yes I realize those two things are contradictory...<br />
<br />
3. What to say, what to say...most of the time I just don't know WHAT to write about. It's not that we're boring. I mean- we DO go out and do stuff, but I often wonder who actually cares... I like to think of this blog as a sort of family journal, so in the past I've blogged about EVERYthing. From the adorable/funny things my kids would say to festive craft projects to what the weather was like. It was fun and all, but if I kept that up I would literally be at my computer blogging constantly. I'm realizing more now than ever just how precious my time is, and I'd rather be spending that time doing other things. I still like to put up a post every now and then, but certainly not as much as I used to.<br />
<br />
I greatly admire those mommas that can whip out a blog post like *that* and not have to neglect their kids doing it. But when I start to write a post, it takes me a long while to get it done. I put a lot of work into editing and re-sizing pictures and getting my words out in just the right way. It's difficult to find a time frame long enough for me to do this without ignoring the demands of a child (or all children!). Basically, blogging is exhausting.<br />
<br />
4. This last reason need only be explained in ONE word. CHATBOOKS.<br />
You guys, the Chatbooks app has transformed my life. I used to blog most of my Instagram pictures because I didn't want them on my phone only. I wanted to somehow document all those sweet memories onto a physical platform, and since I thought I'd be publishing my blog someday I would dump them into a blog post. Then I discovered Chatbooks and it has eliminated the need to for this because it makes books out of my pictures all by itself! I have to do nothing- it does it for me. One less reason to blog all the stinking time. :)<br />
<br />
So, I find myself in a blogging funk. Do I wish I did it more? Maybe. Do I feel guilty over not doing it as much? Not really. Will I keep my blog going? Absolutely...but don't expect frequent posts. This old thing is pretty low on my list of priorities these days. Maybe that will change, maybe not. All I know is- life is GOOD. Even with three sick kids at home right now, my heart is full of gratitude for my family. The Lord is GOOD, yall. My Savior knows me and hears me and loves me. What more could I want out of life?<br />
<br />
Happy blogging, friends! I still enjoy reading all your posts and keeping up with your families, I promise :)<br />

<br />
Penelope has a few new talents...she rolls over both ways (we work on this a LOT), can kinda sorta sit up on her own for about 5 seconds (we work on this almost never), laughs at the drop of a hat, actually enjoys her tubby time (meaning: she now smiles during her bath, ha), grabs her toes and holds on, squeezes her toys when you pull them away from her, and imitates our expressions with bubbles from her mouth. So yeah, she's pretty darn cute.<br />
<br />
A few not so fun things:<br />
She is a light sleeper during the day. Kids wake her up constantly. Those people that tell me that babies adjust to the noise and she'll be fine, blah blah blah...she hasn't adjusted and it's been FOUR months, people.<br />
<br />
Add to that the fact that she now gets "night terrors". They may not be terrors, exactly...but some unholy thing wakes her up from her DEEP sleep and out of nowhere she is screaming at us. Not fussing or whining, but screaming. She does this about 5 times each night before settling in completely...some nights her last round of screaming ends at 2 or 3. So we often get only a few hours of sleep.<br />
<br />
When I daydream about baby #4, I need only remember the exhaustion and frustration we feel when these screaming bouts occur. And just like that, I'm ready to have my tubes tied. Not really...but maybe...<br />
<br />
Because of those long nights, I tend to "sleep in" after Jonathan leaves for work. Well it's more like I lie in bed, eyes wide open, forcing myself to get more shut-eye before facing the day. We made a <b>Good Morning</b> chart for the two older kids. When they behave and don't destroy the house while I'm "sleeping", they get a smiley face for that day. Ten days of smileys means they draw a prize. And these prizes are legit. We're talking trips to the zoo, movies, new toys, etc. That's how desperate I am for a few hours of peace. This system is working nicely for now :)<br />
<br />
Anyways- back to baby! Last night I dug out all of Charlotte's 3-6 month size clothing for Penelope. Hand-me-downs from myself are the best. I love remembering all the fun outfits I bought for my first daughter.<br />

I was secretly really happy that P's four month sticker was green- perfect for March! And then I stole Charlotte's gold bow. I love having two girlies who can swap stuff.<br />

<br />
We were waiting to bless her until the right time came along for Jonathan's parents to visit...they told us they would come whenever, but it's always more fun when there's stuff going on. And with Valentines weekend including both a holiday and Charlotte's birthday, why not squeeze in a baby blessing, too?<br />
<br />
Earlier that morning I did a little blessing photo shoot with our babe. She wore the same blessing dress that Charlotte wore- the dress that my mom picked out.<br />

Baby blessing days are the BEST days! We really felt the love from family and friends. And as usual, I bawled a bit when Jonathan gave the blessing. We love you, Penelope!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07756354369037757760noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141934846796097402.post-28909666310688536902015-02-24T10:39:00.002-07:002015-02-24T10:48:01.737-07:00Valentines and Birthday weekendAs a general rule of thumb, life with three kids dictates that my blog posts will always be (at least) a week late. At least.<br />
<br />
In an attempt to get caught up, I'm dividing Valentine's Day weekend into TWO posts- because so much happened! We blessed P on that Sunday, but more on that later :)<br />
<br />
VALENTINES DAY.<br />
<br />
The kids got traditional jammies Valentine's day morning, and we had a yummy breakfast with Jonathan's parents- coconut pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. It was seriously so good.<br />

We don't normally go out for Valentine's OR give expensive gifts (usually we will give/do something cheesy). But this year was the exception, which after 6 years of marriage is OK I guess. We double dated with his parents. Jonathan and his dad surprised us with a showboat ride down the river. He totally got me, I wasn't expecting that at ALL.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Turns out- the boat ride was actually really cheesy anyway... haha! We got some good laughs later. I also made him a wedding album- a project that took me f-o-r-e-v-e-r to complete. First I had to round up all our engagement & wedding pictures, re-edit them ALL (I didn't care for our photographer's edits), and try to make a nice book out of them. And the price was tricky...fortunately I was able to round up about four different discounts to use on Shutterfly so it was an amazing deal! And Jonathan made me a beautiful casserole dish in pottery...which cracked. So- he's going to try again! (This was actually casserole dish #3. The first one was a flop right away and the second one that he gave me for Christmas cracked after I unwrapped it. ha ha.) I don't care that it cracked, I'm going to use it to plant some herbs :) I love that he tries so hard to surprise me. It's the thought that counts- truly!<br />
<br />
Kinda jokingly, I told Jonathan that next year I just want a pint of ice-cream. But I wasn't really joking.<br />
<br />
C TURNS 3!<br />
<br />
Charlotte's birthday was so much fun! It was surprise after surprise! Aunts and uncles and grandparents and brother made it such a special day for her.<br />
<br />
We sung "happy birthday" to her throughout the day, and she loved it every time. Her grammaw surprised her with a bunch of Disney princess barbies- I don't know if I've mentioned or not how much that girl loves her "bobbies". We went out to eat at Red Robin, where she got sung to again and was given an ice-cream sundae. Talmage had to get one, too, of course! We brought all of her presents to the restaurant to open, and she really freaked when she tore the paper off of her light-up Elsa doll :)<br />

Talmage was also really proud of the pink soccer ball he got her, so she can have something to kick around at his soccer practice. It was a perfect little birthday!<br />

Grammaw & Grampaw had to leave on Monday afternoon- so sad! We always miss them way too much!<br />
<br />
Tuesday was C's actual birthday. It felt weird not doing anything, even though we had already celebrated the day before... ha. So that morning we had a birthday tea party with her. Jonathan happened to be home that morning for other reasons- so it worked out great! We made orange juice and berry scones, and stayed in our pajamas. Simple and perfect :)<br />

Its getting increasingly harder to take pictures of all three kids. So when we did a little Valentine's Day shoot I just plopped them on the bed. ha ha.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, moderation in picture-taking is something I'm working on. As in, it's okay to take like five pictures instead of fifty. Until I get to that point of restraint, pardon my plethora of photos. :D At least they're cute, right?</div>

These were the outfits the kids wore on the Sunday after Valentines Day. But since we had family over that day, I took these like a week before. ha. Poor things having to dress up TWICE.</div>

I couldn't ask for sweeter valentines!<br />

We will skip all the "how did time fly by so fast" and "please stay my baby forever" crap. Although those are true statements, it starts to feel redundant. Truth is- I love watching my babies grow. I told this to a random lady at the beach the other week, and she sneered the evil sneer at me and said "Oh, if only you knew. This must be your first." <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Actually, lady...she is not. After three babies I've learned a thing or two. I've learned that growth is magical and miraculous and beautiful and amazing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course they are sweet when they're little. Of course it's sad to see them grow. But it is also SO wonderful to see them grow and be even more happy little human beings as they learn and discover the world. I'm finding myself less and less sad about this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So anyway. Three months! Here are some things I love about our three month old missy:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~she falls asleep when I sit her on my knee and bounce her. After ten minutes or so, her little chin falls to my arm and I know she's out. I love it when she does this!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~she has reached the DROOL stage, and this comes with bubbles :) Drool and bubbles is pretty much her life now. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~she eats every three hours on the dot, goes to bed at midnight on the dot, and wakes up anytime from 9-11 am the next morning. Girl can sleep. I do nurse her at night but always in the bed so we both sleep through it. Yes, she still sleeps with me. But I try to put her in the crib as much as I can when I'm not a zombie. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~still loves her swing and bouncer, but her new obsession is the PLAY MAT. She grabs the toys with those little chubby fingers and steals my heart.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~did I mention she loves toys? LOVES them. Especially if they hang close to her face or fingers and make noises.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~LAUGHS. It is the cutest. We love her sweet laugh.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~when she isn't happy she grunts. And she will grunt for a LONG time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~had her first ever sickness last week- a minor cold. She got through it like a champ.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~gets really excited when we turn on Baby Einstein. Her eyes widen and she furiously kicks her legs and punches the air. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
~can now "stand" holding our thumbs, roll over from tummy to back {sometimes}, sit comfortably in her bumbo, and she's even attempting to crawl! What the what?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
And by lots, I mean not very much except for the changing personalities of each of our three kids. Which is plenty enough for me... it's so incredibly sad how much my babies are growing...<br />
<br />
I've chosen to set aside my sadness and be excited for these changes. It makes life a lot more optimistic!<br />
<br />
I write about Penelope all the time so this post will be about our other two kiddos. We do actually have a life outside of loving on her 24/7 ;) Oh wait, I take that back! That's pretty much all we do.<br />
<br />
So, there's this little guy.<br />

My sweet, tenderhearted boy. He has really surprised me ever since P was born. He's completely adapted to the role of "protective brother" like I never imagined. He loves to "babysit" her while I take a shower. He sits in her crib and makes her happy by reading and talking to her, or sometimes she will lay on a blanket in his room while he plays Legos. He has helped me SO much and because of him, the transition from 2 to 3 kids has been incredibly easier. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without him! He's my little helper son :)<br />
<br />
He also likes helping unload the dishwasher, cleaning his mirror and window, vacuuming, picking up toys (sometimes). He has constant energy and a never-ending appetite. Often he'll ask for seconds or thirds even...it blows me away how much food he can put down!<br />
<br />
We taught him the other day how to draw stick people, and he likes to write his name with a huge M in the middle :) His favorite things to do are: play Ninjago on the ipod, build Legos, any kind of video game like Mario or Cars, and watching daddy play Minecraft (thanks Papa for making my boys obsessed!). He will do anything for chocolate or gum. He often pretends he is a superhero and stays in the hero role all day long. If I say, "Talmage, will you wipe the table?" he'll say "YES! Super Talmge will use his super hands to wipe the table!" Super super super ALL the time. He truly is all boy. I cannot get enough.<br />
<br />
And the curiousity- my goodness. He is going to love school in the fall because he has SO many questions about everything. However, I'm scared to death of sending him off for 8 hours Monday-Friday because he is still so sensitive. He cries a LOT- not in an annoying way but in a really sad, break-my-heart kind of way. He is still my baby boy, even if he is turning 5 in April!<br />

<br />
Charlotte is a little ham. I love her more than life, but she has really tested me lately. Let me put it simply:<br />
<br />
She doesn't eat, except cheese and oranges. In secret.<br />
She doesn't sleep, except for the wee hours of 12 am-5 am which is basically nothing.<br />
She doesn't want to potty train when she has underwear on; only if she wearing a diaper does she like peeing the potty and that's still only about 20% of the time.<br />
She lays on top of Penelope despite the <i>hundreds</i> of times I have told her not to.<br />
She is mean. She is sassy. She is a curly, adorable MESS.<br />
<br />
But we love her anyway. We discipline like crazy trying to get her to act normal but well, that just won't happen :) She is who she is, and she's not even 3 yet so we've still got a lot ahead of us. Some days I wonder HOW I'm going to raise two girls... but I'm so grateful to have daughters. I really do adore them completely. Some times these phases are just really trying on my patience, and this is one of those times.<br />
<br />
Other than being a total stinker, she has a lot going on in the cute department. She's totally in love with Frozen still, and Sophia the First and Doc McStuffins. She takes her "bobbies" everywhere (barbies. How did that happen?) She loves giving everyone "check-ups" and putting bandaids all over us. She adores Penelope and wants to (literally) smother her constantly. She has expressed a love of dancing lately so I looked into ballet classes. She starts next week! Can't wait to see her in action :)<br />
<br />
Her birthday is coming up SOON and we're already so excited. Not throwing a party this year but we've got a few fun things in store for her. One thing I love about this girl- she is easy to please!<br />
<br />
My two favorite things to do with Charlotte are bake and snuggle. She is a wonderful cuddler! It's basically the reason she gets away with so much crap, ha. And we love to make cookies in the kitchen. She is so enamored with mixing ingredients in the Kitchen-aid. :)<br />
<br />
I just love this sass-a-frass!<br />

Gosh I love them!<br />
<br />
P.S.- T's animal masks were handmade by his super awesome aunt Layla. She made some for Charlotte, too. They love them! And C's doll was handmade by a gal in Portland. You can check her out <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyGalPals?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">here</a>. Her dolls are beautiful!<br />

Since we have no major things going on, this is my weekend for blogging and getting all caught up!<br />
<br />
Amazingly, this post is actually RIGHT ON TIME. Say what? Yes, folks...it is possible to do something on time with three kids. Not common, but possible.<br />
<br />
Today marks Penelope being TWO months old! Gosh. Two whole months and she has grown and changed in volumes. It's really not fair. :P<br />
<br />
The very best thing about our sweet P being two months old is definitely the smiles. Oh, those smiles...they melt me. We're still working on getting her to laugh...we have done every trick in the book and still nothing! She's close, though- I just know it.<br />
<br />
For now, smiles are what get this momma through the long, exhausting, and difficult days! I WILL survive :D<br />

There isn't much else to say about a two month old. She does all the typical baby stuff...eat, sleep, poop, spit up, repeat. She loves hanging out in her bouncer and being held, rocked, or swung. She is beginning to sleep in 5-6 hour stretches, but there are nights when she just WON'T sleep unless right beside me. Those are kinda tough, cause I don't sleep well with her in the bed. However, there is nothing I love more than waking up to her squishy, peaceful, chubby-cheeked face all snuggled up in my armpit, ha ha.<br />
<br />
The kids totally adore her. Charlotte now changes her diapers (with assistance) and Talmage has really surprised me...but that's another post!<br />
<br />
Happy two months, Poppy Lynne!<br />
