A few baby must haves

I thought I would make a list of a few of my favorite baby items that I couldn't live without!! Here are a list of my baby must haves!!

1. This Lorex video baby monitor is FABULOUS!! We bought an extra camera for Willa Kate so I can watch both of them at night!!

2. This Fisher price little lamp swing has been our saving grace!! Both of our kids have LOVED this swing!! It has been such a great one!!

3. Britax makes the BEST car seats!! We have the Britax Boulevard 65 CS for Willa Kate and the Fronteir 85 for Brady! And of course we have the Camooflage print!! sooooo cute!

4. The Bumbleride flyer stroller is great!! I researched strollers forever before I decided to purchase this one! I don't use it much anymore because I have to have a double stroller most of the time :) So now we have a BOB Revolution SE stroller and it pushes like a DREAM! If you like to walk on a daily basis or even run a Bob is a must!

5. A swaddle was a must for us with Willa Kate! We didn't use one with Brady, but I wish we would have!! She has slept like an angel since day 1!! We did have to ween her from it when she started to outgrow it, but it went much better than I thought!!

6. A My Blankee!!! Kasey my SIL gave Brady and Willa Kate a My Blankee blanket! They are so soft and they love them!!

7. I love Aiden + Anais!!!! We have the issie blankie, the swaddle blankets and the dream blanket!! They are definitely a must!!

4 months

Willa Kate is 4 months old!!! She is getting so big!! She loves to squeal and loves to watch her big brother. This month we weaned her from her swaddle and the transition went great!! Next month she will start sleeping in her bed!! Right now she is sleeping in the pack n play in our room. She sleeps about 12 hours a night without waking and takes about 3 naps a day. She is such a little blessing.

I never posted 3 month pictures so here is Willa Kate at 3 months old.

These are some random pics of Willa Kate over the past month.

All Moved in and Mohawks

We are all moved in and have been for a while!! I just haven't really felt like blogging! The move went great and the moving company was excellent!! Nothing got broken or damaged!!!! We are still hanging pictures in the house and there are a few things we need to get for the new house but other than that we are ready for visitors!! I love for friends and family to visit!!

On to the next subject which is mohawks!! Yes, you read that right!! When Brady was a baby he had a curly mohawk and now Willa Kate is following in his footsteps and she has a straight mohawk, but hers is much taller!! I think it between 3-4 inches tall!! It is so funny!! I just smile every time I look at her! Here are some pics of my sweet babies and their mohawks!!

This is Brady when he was 6 months old.

Here is Willa Kate at almost 4 months old.

Sweet Cousins

When we were in Mississippi we visited with my brother's family. Brady loves to go play with the boys!! When he tries to get their attention he always says boys, boys, boys!! It is so cute! He loves his cousins!! I stole these pics from Kasey because I didn't take any :(

All 6 cousins! Willa Kate (2 months), Cael (6), Connor (8),

Mary Clayton (8 months), Brady (2)and Collins (4).

Easter, Mississippi and year of the locust

We had a wonderful Easter with just the 4 of us. It was very relaxing and just what we needed!!

I could just eat these two little cutie patooties up!!

Monday after Easter me and the kids headed to Mississippi for a week and a half!! It was the last time I will be making a trip to Mississippi with just myself and the kids!! Right now it is only a 6 hour drive but as of next week it will be a 10 hour drive!! We had such a great visit with family and friends and of course I had to hit up all of the cute children's boutiques to get the kids some clothes (like they needed any). When we were in Mississippi all of those terrible storms came through that produced tons of tornados! I have a good friend that lost her house, a friend that had a tree fall on her house and their two cars and a girl that I went to high school with lost her dad. It is devastating where those tornados came through. Tuscaloosa, AL and Smithville, MS got hit really bad. Smithville which is a very small town is basically gone. Please pray for all those who were affected by these devastating storms!

So it is the year of the locusts! These type of locust come out every 13 years! While we were in Mississippi they started coming out of the ground. There were tons and Brady loved them! We went around my parents house picking up the shells and the live locusts. They were everywhere! If you were outside you could just hear the roaring noise they make, it got louder everyday and now my mom says that you can hear it in the house!!

All over plants.

Brady having fun playing with them.

These are the ones we picked up and put in a bucket.

All over the tree!

This pic is for you mom!! LOL

Oh and we are moving a week from today!!!!!!!!! I wish I could snap my fingers and already be moved in and unpacked and everything hung on the walls!! If only it was that easy!!

Newborn photo session

Here are some of the pics from Willa Kate's newborn photo shoot when she was 6 days old. Thanks to Cassie Spalding Photography for coming to the house and taking these amazing pics.
