September 2015

Most of our fun in September was documented in Taylor's 5 month blog and Labor Day weekend, but I ran across a few more pictures that I wanted to include for September.

There is not much sweeter than watching your little hugging their great grandparent. It's hard to fathom how much life has been lived in the 85 years between Maw Maw and Jordan and then think about how much life Jordan has ahead of her. Maybe I'm getting a little sentimental, this picture just hit me. 

  

We took the girls with us when we went shopping at the outlet mall and to say that Jordan was a mess, is an understatement. By "mess" I do not mean that she was crying and screaming, no she was so hyper and was having the time of her life! She was climbing up on the window displays, trying on shoes by herself, running up and down the stores touching EVERYTHING she could reach. She was hilarious...just a little hard to shop with!

    

Just a few more pictures from our first Aggie football weekend of the year. Jordan heard the Aggie Band playing from Gamma and Poppy's house and also remembered the Aggie Band rhyme in her Aggie Goose. From this day on she asks me every day: "Mommy. Take Jo-dan see Aaaee Bnd?" Every. Day. Gosh I love this girl.

   

Look, I can wink!

    

 

Just a few sweet pictures of Jordan since Taylor gets her own blog! Such a big girl!

   

Making cupcakes!

        

Sister Love!

     

     

Sometimes you want to remember the times you just got to sit and snuggle for a second.

Sweet friends at the Sam Houston football game. Jordan was so excited to see Hollis again. These two ran around and played the whole night.

    

Playing with mommy and daddy while sister sleeps!

Taylor: 5 months

Taylor has gotten so big so fast! She weighs 18 lbs 13 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. She is already into her 6-9 month clothes and is following her sister's footsteps in growing way too big, way too fast! Taylor is sitting up full time now and is really starting to figure out how to move across the room. She's starting to get up on her knees and rock back and forth, but is mostly just army scooting around the house. Sometimes we look over at her and she is just smiling her big gummy smile, just waiting for someone to look her direction. Her giggles are so infectious and we are getting more every day.

Big sister wanted in on the photo shoot too. These girls sure can wear me out, but man I love them so much! They make every day something new. I love being their mommy so much!

Taylor just scooting her way around already getting into anything she can chew on!

   

 

A little mommy time:

 

  

And Daddy too! 

      

 

Can't forget a little sister love.

           

 

 

 Jordan has figured out how to tickle Taylor and it is hilarious watching her try to make her baby sister laugh. I cannot wait to watch this little friendship develop.

Then there's this..."Mom - she woke me up and you're stopping to take a picture" 

 We're clearly in the middle of football season and fighting over what color our kids will wear.

     

    

  

  

We took Taylor on her first Aggie football weekend trip where she got to meet Maw Maw and play with Poppy and Gamma
   

   

This girl is so strong and sitting up so well this month. Love her sweet little face and how excited she gets when we just talk to her! The picture on the right is kind of dark, but I was just reading her a bedtime story and she would not stop giggling and smiling at me.

   

 

I love getting pictures from this happy girl at school.

   

 

 

First time trying her rice cereal

    

Things we don't want to forget:

- The way she "kisses" your face...It's more like trying to eat your face, but we think it's sweet

- Starting to babble and find her little voice

- Lights up when you walk in the room. Knows her Mommy, Daddy and sister

- Scooting around to find new toys to play with.

- She HATES the car seat. Only lasts about an hour and then screams the rest of the trip

-  Can always make her smile by making funny noises

- Outside of the car, very little phases her. She just goes with the flow

 - Her big gorgeous blue eyes
