15 months!

Around this exact time almost 17 months ago, Kacey came to my room to walk with me from my Mother/Baby room to my Labor and Delivery room so Dr. McCollum could break my water. Gosh how time flies. Seems like yesterday, but feel like forever ago! 

Yes, I'm behind, she will be 17 months old next week!

So here are some 15m stats!

Molly Caroline went to her first Georgia game! Go Dawgs! 

She met the Cfa cow for the first time and was not a fan! :)

She got her shots and flu shot...weighing in at just barely 23 pounds and 27 inches tall. 

She was a flower girl for the first time! She did great but I had to lure her with snacks...Cheerios to be exact!

Her one year molars came in on the bottom! Lots of drool!!

She started copying everything and anything that her friends at daycare do! She loves to run and slam into things, be chased, and jump in her crib now thanks to that! Haha! 

She saw me hold a little baby for the first time and it didn't phase her!

She is just easy, content, an awesome sleeper and eater, and plays so well!

She is just all over the place, so curious, and has no fear!

However, she is definitely getting sassy. Her favorite word seems to be no!

We love every single thing about our princess!!

The busy season!

Busy, busy, busy....that's how it will be for the next week or so until we have a few slow weeks of being thankful and rest. Then it's Christmas time! I can't believe it!

Monday we celebrated Blakely's 8th birthday. Our sweet pup is so precious to us. We surprised her with one gift that morning, then played outside and grilled her favorites...steak and shrimp for dinner. And are outside. Then opened presents and sang to her. I know sounds crazy, but she is part of our family. She might be semi spoiled. :) 

Tuesday night we attempted pumpkin painting. Molly Caroline wasn't feeling it. I might try again.

Wednesday we had life groups. We had lots of porch playting time before hand. Pumpkins and mums are her new favorite toys! 

Thursday I had my formal observation...went great! Although I was tired, I was just craving some fun family time. So we went to a little pumpkin patch where we used to live and went out to eat. So fun! 

Tonight we will be cheering on our yellow jackets! It's the last home game already! 

Saturday Stuff

October just makes me happy! Seeing my baby's costume hanging in the mud room is just beyond precious to me!

We tried our first real art project together this week! Molly Caroline loved collecting the leaves but just wanted to take everything we glued down off. :) 

Molly Caroline started painting on her own with a paint brush in Mississippi! Her first creation!

I love writing and sticking to our weekly meal plan!

Our go to stack these days.

Something about seeing Molly Caroline's stuffed animals on her chair this way makes me sad. It's like she's already all grown up. :(

This happy girl is my heart!! 

Happy Saturday! I'm up way before my fam to volunteer at Hands on Thomas County. Looking forward to a semi-restful weekend. :)

Fall crafts!

We had a busy, but fun fall break! I'm very sad that it's over already! We traveled to Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri visiting family so we only had a few days at home. However, I definitely did some crafting. 

I made this banner for our breakfast room. I hung it low so Molly Caroline can see it well.

I made her a little Halloween bucket. 

I made her a felt pumpkin with jack I lantern faces. :)

We made a candy corn footprint. It looks a little bigger than last years ghost!

I made her a flower pot and we planted her very own mums. She loves her flowers. However, she likes picking them! 

We also had our first annual pumpkin breakfast this morning! :) She loved her pumpkin muffin.

We also put together some care packages. More on the goodies inside those later! :)

It's been so fun being home with my baby. I cherish every second and break I get! Yay for a clean, organized, and decorated house too! 6 more weeks until my next break!

A whirlwind week and a wedding!

Last week was probably one of the busiest weeks ever for us. 

We took Molly Caroline to Sesame Street Live and had the best time! I cried driving up and seeing all the parents walking with their excited kids. And I cried when my baby heard Elmo's voice! She really loves Elmo! It brought back memories of me going to things like that as a kid. We loved getting to spoil her there! Such a perfect night!

I wrote on all kinda of chalkboards for my friend Holli's wedding. 

We attended a make-up Jackets game on a Thursday night.

Molly Caroline was also a flower girl in our friend, Holli's, wedding. It was one of the prettiest weddings I've been to. I'll admit, I was sick and nervous over it, but Molly Caroline did great. All while cutting her 1 year molars. Yikes! 

We has the baseball themed rehearsal dinner Friday night. So much fun!

The reception was a blast!

Sunday morning we drove to Jacksonville to meet our newest baby season, Lauren Elizabeth. She was born on Monday, September 22nd and is beautiful and perfect. 

We had fun shopping and eating at St. John's Town Center with the seasons, frusbands, and babies, and then just hanging with B and Lauren most of the day!

I think I'm still recouping. :)
