Well, technically she turned 5 months 10 days ago but you know how this blogging business can be for me.
Hey, I'm just proud of myself for even posting the third child's month by month pictures. It's crazy around these parts I tell ya. Crazy.
Our little Lillian is a growing girl.
She is definitely bigger than Savannah was at this age.
Her rolls are plumping up ever so nicely.
And she has the the cutest, fatest, and juiciest wrist and kankles that you ever did see.
She may not be as small as Savannah was at this age but she definitely smiles just as much as she did.
Who knew such a colicky, difficult newborn would produce such a happy little baby?
Thank goodness for my sanity's sake.
She is slowly becoming a better sleeper. I feed her around 7 at night and on a bad night she'll wake around 12:30 a.m. for another feeding, and on a good night she'll wake closer to 3 or 4 in the morning. Thankfully after I feed her at any hour during the night she usually goes right back to sleep. I realize she's more than likely waking at night out of habit but for some reason I always have a hard time letting them "cry it out." I'm determined to let her cry it out at 6 months. I know my life would be much much easier if I did.
Plus it doesn't really look like this chunk is hurting for food.
Her older siblings adore her and Savannah thinks she's her baby doll.
And she's not the sweetest with her baby dolls. She's known to hit, scratch, and smother them from time to time.
Savannah was not happy that big brother was chosen to hold her baby doll.
Isaac lives for making goofy faces these days. He was in full fledged goofy mode for every picture.
But he knows how to get baby laughing.
These three little ones keep me busy my friends.
Honestly, THIS one feels like three kids combined sometimes.
She's a mess.
She is EVERYWHERE these days. Climbing into Lillian's crib without me looking, playing in toilets, drinking from toilets, breaking into the pantry for fruit snacks, coloring the walls with crayons, stuffing DVD's into any small space she can find, climbing onto counter tops, opening cabinets, taking out every content in the cabinet,....and the list goes on and on and on.
But as crazy as this wild girl is she steals our heart every single second.
She's just so cuddly and loves to be held and lay her head on one's shoulder to her daddy's delight.
And THIS boy...
Isaac can easily be described in one word.
Hilarious.
He keeps us laughing constantly.
He can make you die laughing one second and then the next second, you want to beat his little bottom raw. ;) He's a mess too, just in different ways.
I tried to get a decent picture of him but these beauties were all I could get...
But honestly, they all display his personality perfectly.
We love this little stinker.
Clearly his sister isn't phased by the silliness. :)
So, we are gearing up for our big move in about 9 days! Have I started packing? Funny you should ask. I haven't done a thing! Oh but no worries folks, I'm much better under pressure.
Plus, the house is just a few minutes down the road so I'm planning to literally throw stuff in boxes and just skip all the bubble wrap and newspaper.
We closed on the house today. It was a surreal experience for me. I think because I know that this house will be a place we stay in for a long time I'm sure...a place that we are going to raise our kids in and make forever memories. We may not live in this house forever but one thing is for sure. We are sick of moving!! This will be our 6th move in 8 years. Whew, just saying that makes me tired. I can finally, finally get my china out of Tupperware. Maybe I'll use it now.
Alright, it's late and I need to get to bed. Hopefully this will be a good sleep night for one little 5 month old.
One can hope, right?
