Blog Book

Our blog book came in the mail today from Blog2Print! This was the whole reason why I started this blog. I wanted to be able to document our lives and have it published so I could give it to our kids one day. I only ordered one book but I want to order a duplicate one so both kids will have one when they're grown up! I plan to have one made every year, this first one was for the year 2010 and I love it! (All 194 pages!)

Avaree's Biggest Fan

Avaree loves to sing and dance, especially to Taylor Swift. I got the karaoke machine out for her tonight and she had to dress up and perform for Jace. He loved it!

Project 365

I discovered this last year and knew I wanted to do it but I wanted to wait until January 1st to start it-Project 365. I started a new blog and will [try to] post a photo a day, just a random photo of something that happened that day. Go check it out and follow us! There's also a link on the right of the page to go to the Project 365 blog.

2 Years

Two years ago today I married the most wonderful man. He's a great husband and daddy and I'm so happy to share my life (and babies) with him! Happy Anniversary James! We've come a long way in two years!
 We didn't really do much to celebrate, we're planning on going out to dinner next weekend. We did enjoy cupcakes from Bliss Cupcakery, courtesy of his Mom.

7 Months

Happy 7 Months Little Man!

Our little guy is growing up too fast! He's the sweetest boy ever and he makes us all so happy. He weighs a little over 19 pounds and fits in 9 months and 6-12 months clothes. He's in the medium setting in his cloth diapers.
 Jace is still taking 6 ounces of formula (with added rice cereal) about every 3 hours. I just started working on decreasing the rice cereal in his bottles to see if we can eventually not have to add any. His spitting up has drastically decreased. He very rarely does it anymore and it is so nice! He eats stage 2 baby foods and we let him try some of our food also. He has a jar for breakfast and dinner, we haven't started lunch yet but we will soon. He has also started drinking apple juice (half juice/half water) and he loves it!

He has 2 teeth on the bottom and he loves to bite and hold onto the spoon when he is eating. He thinks it's funny! He sleeps all night still, except for the past couple of nights he's woken up during the night. I think it's because of him teething.

Jace is such a happy baby and is always smiling and laughing. He loves to play and he will sit by himself and play for a little while. He LOVES his big sister! No matter how upset he is, she can always put a smile on his face. He is trying so hard to crawl, he'll get up on all fours and rock. He is all over the place, he rolls everywhere and army crawls! He loves to talk and he says several letter sounds. He can say Mama and Dada, but I don't think he relates that to us. He is so loving. He loves to snuggle and give hugs and kisses. I'll tell him to give me sugars and he leans into me with his mouth open. Sometimes we don't even have to ask and he'll lean in for kisses! I love it!
Diaper changes nowadays are nearly impossible. As soon as I lay him on the changing table, he flips over. He's so fast! I have to try to hold him down to change him, he doesn't want to lay down and be still. It's so much harder to take his pictures too!

Happy New Year

It's so hard to believe that 2011 is here. We were so blessed in 2010 and I can't wait to see what the New Year has to bring!
