Scarf Swap!

I participated in the second annual scarf swap held here! My swap partner, Roxanne, did an AWESOME job at picking out the perfect scarf for me! Turns out, I had previously seen this exact scarf and almost bought it for myself! Way to go Roxanne! Also turns out, I had put the same scarf in my cart to get her and then last minute changed my mind! Haha, how funny would that have been! I forgot to take a picture of the one I got her, but it was blue with green flowery things on it!

I was so excited to see that Roxanne was my scarf swap partner, I had started reading her blog not that long ago and think she seems super sweet and funny! She has two precious little girls, about the same age apart as my girls (a yearish!)! Turns out, we live pretty close to each other and have talked about maybe having lunch somewhere soon! How fun would that be to turn a blog friend into a real friend! Let's definitely get together soon, Roxanne...hint, hint!

Anyways, here is a picture of the scarf I received in the mail! Love it so much! I wore it on a date with my husband the day I got it!



Thanks, Roxanne!

Zeke at 7 months!

Zeke is 7 months old today! He has slowed down on his weight...praise Jesus, I was starting to think I was going to be carrying around a 30 lb 1 year old! Haha! He is 20 lbs, his height and weight have finally caught up to each other! He is wearing 12 month clothes. He can give kisses, wave, sit up, he gets on his hands and knees, he rolls over a lot now (he had only rolled over twice at his 6 month birthday...lazy boy!). He still loves his mama, definitely has an attachment to me! He still won't take a bottle and is not too interested in foods...more on that below! He loves to play with toys, especially if his sisters will play with him! He LOVES his sisters! He gets so excited when he sees them! He does not like to be left in the nursery...he freaks out. Last week, I left him in there and heard him screaming all the way in the auditorium...he seriously freaks out! He is crazy, but we love him so much!

I took these pictures of Zeke to document his 6 month birthday!






Pretty much, the only way to get Zeke to eat something, is to just give it to him and let him go for it. He Hates baby food, he will only eat something if it is either in the form it comes in, or in small chunks! Crazy man! Here is a picture of him eating avocado's...of course, all by himself!


We got to watch our friends girls a few weeks ago so they could go out for their anniversary! Zeke is in love with little Bailey B! I think she is pretty fond of him too! They always get so excited when they see each other, it is really cute! Her mom and I went to Target the other day, and actually got asked if they were twins! Hehe!





How cute is she!

Responsibility!

We want to teach our girls responsibility. We thought that a good way to do this was to get them their own pet that they were in charge of taking care of. We decided that fish were a pretty safe way to go! We took them to Pets Mart, let them pick out a plant and one more thing to put in the bowl for their fish, then they got to pick out their own fish! Riley named hers Josie and Aydia named hers Chloe! Did I mention they are MALE beta fish, haha! They didn't want to name them boy names! So far, our fish have remained fed and loved...as much as you can show love to a fish in a fish bowl!








All finished!
