Eight Months - Olivia, Emma & Sloan

Sloan - Eight Months

Sleep: Still sleeping through the night. 1.5-2 hour nap in the afternoons.

Eating: Still 5 bottles a day, plus 3solids. This girl loves to eat!

Milestones: She started rolling over! Finally! This chunky monkey thinks she super cool with her rolling skills. She also likes to stand and play with toys while we make sure she doesn't fall. She actually seems ready to be on the move. If only her chunky self would catch up with her mind.

Clothes / Diapers: 12-18 months. Which is crazy. She's a chunker for sure. But I do think she is evening out and not quite as large for her age. 

Best Moment of the Month: Definitely rolling over. She's so proud of herself. And she just loves to be on the move. We also wondered if she would ever roll over - and are glad she's just a little lazier than her sisters - rather than anything bigger.

Parent of the Month: This one goes to me because I can't think of anything!

Favorites: Happiest baby! She just lights up when she sees Olivia. These two have such a special bond - and I love watching it unfold. Neither Dan nor I can make Sloan light up like Olivia can. 

Emma's third birthday party!

Emma wanted a Peppa Pig party and she wanted it to be at the same place as Olivia's party - the bouncy house place. I found her sweet dress on Amazon. After I ordered, I realized that it wouldn't be here until after her party - so I ordered another that would be here on time. Planning to return the original, they both arrived on time, and Olivia insisted on matching. So here they both are in their 3T peppa pig dresses :)

Another super easy party in a room full of bouncy houses. The kids played, the adults drank beer, and then pizza and cake and someone else cleaned up. Not exactly Pinterest worthy, but super easy!

Our local balloon place was out of both Peppa Pig and all number 3 balloons. So Gigi convinced Emma this was such a cool balloon. It actually lasted over a week and Emma was thrilled. 

We had such a fun day celebrating Emma. And she told us that she was planning to have her 4th birthday very soon, and then her 5th just a few days after. ;) Love this spicy little girl. 

Seven Months - Olivia, Sloan, & Emma

Amazing how similar they look as babies. 

Sloan - Seven Months

Sleep: Still sleeping through the night. 1.5-2 hour nap in the afternoons.

Eating: Still 5 bottles a day, plus 2 solids. This girl loves to eat!

Milestones: No real milestones here. She loves to scrunch her nose and sniff and laugh and she thinks she's being so funny. Her sisters love it too!

Clothes / Diapers: 9-12 month clothes and size 4 diapers. We have got to get down the bin of Emma's clothes when she was a year old - they would definitely fit Sloan and would be the right season.

Best Moment of the Month: She started sitting by herself! This makes pictures so much easier! Haha. But she loves to sit and play with toys. We put a pillow behind her in case she falls backward. 

Parent of the Month: This one goes to me. I was talking and feeding Sloan and we were at a Mexican restaurant and instead of giving her a scoop of her baby food, I gave her a scoop of salsa. Poor girl. She rallied well. But I don't think she likes spicy food. 

Favorites: Still such a happy baby. It has been so fun giving her solids because she just loves to eat. She likes to sit at the table with her sisters and feel like she is one of the big kids!

Emma is three!

Emma is three! Part of me can't believe it's been three years. The other part of me has been holding her to higher expectations since Sloan was born, and can't believe she was only two. Three is stubborn and sweet. Three yells "I do it myself" and "hold me please" in the same few seconds. Three loves her baby sister but is way too rough with her. Three ends every argument with "cuz that's why!" Three will only wear a tutu dress, even if the only one clean is sleeveless and it's freezing out. Three loves makeup and nail polish and jewelry and woke me up in the middle of the night bc she needed lipstick. Three looks out for her friends. Three has a heart of gold. And three ends cupcakes in her class with a speech, thanking her friends for their time together, telling them she's on to bigger and better things, the 3s class, and that she'll always remember their time together. (She doesn't move up until August - with the rest of her class). This girl makes us laugh (and cry) daily and we wouldn't change her for the world!

Confetti Hearts Wall

We took the girls on the light rail - and they had so much fun riding the "train." We first made them take some pictures at the confetti hearts wall - and I'm so glad we did! Then we met friends for lunch at superica - which had the best margarita I've ever had - and I consider myself a connoisseur. Then we had Jeni's ice cream for lunch and rode the train back home. Such a fun afternoon in our little city.
