Valentine's Day!

We had a fun Valentine's Day! Ellie was super excited about the pink sparkly sunglasses she got for our beach trip and little Mayes loved his ball :) And the best part for Ellie was her daddy surprising her at lunch with her very own box of chocolates! This girl loves chocolate and was sooo excited! We just stayed in that night and Nana came over and we had a nice, family dinner :)


























"Woo hooo! Myown box of chocolate!"


















Now the hard part...which one to choose first!









One happy little girl, with lots of chocolate on her face!




Grandad Buck sent Ellie some very pretty roses too!




This was my attempt to make a cute Pinterest inspired lollipop Valentine...didn't quite turn out how I had planned, so we opted for skittles and stickers to take to MDO.










8 Months Old!

Mayes turned 8 months old this month! I feel like he has changed so much this month and is doing so many new things! He can crawl and pull up to his knees, he got in his bottom teeth and then I noticed that his 4 top front teeth were coming in too (so, 6 total), and he can feed himself finger foods. He keeps us very busy these days and is still a little spoiled to being held/entertained all the time :)









Love those big, brown eyes!







Playing with his best buddy, Wells!






Big sis getting in on the photo shoot!



8 Months Old!




Harper loves him too!

7 Months!

I'm a little behind on posting but wanted to share some cute pics of our little 7 month old! He is growing way too fast! He can sit up all by himself now and has started rocking on his hands and knees so crawling is really close!





Trying carrots for the first time...we have been a little behind on starting baby food but so far he has had sweet potatoes, carrots and banana. He's not to crazy about the food but seems to like oatmeal.















Heading out to watch the Cotton Bown at a friend's house...first time in big boy tennis shoes and he looked like such a big boy!











He's my little helper and like to be right beside me all the time.








First day of MDO!

Ellie wouldn't sit with Santa but baby brother didn't mind :)





Christmas Eve at Nana's house!











Mayes' First Christmas!



Nana brought Ellie some goodies back from New Orleans!






























Setting out cookies for Santa! Ellie thought the reindeer would like some cheerios too :)








Santa came!















Poor little man wasn't feeling good all weekend :(
