Our family in NYC

I've been practicing for my vocal team try-outs lately. I guess Amaya is really catching on to songs now. She loves singing along with mommy and I love hearing her pretty little voice!

Our trip to New York went better than expected. The girls were very good and our old Tahoe made the trip to New York and back to Kansas! (It took us 2 1/2 days of driving to get there). Needless to say we are happy to be back home and not ready to travel again any time soon. See more pictures on my facebook profile.

Selah and Amaya had their check-ups this past Friday. They are growing up so fast! Both girls had to get shots this time. Amaya did surprisingly well with her shot but not so well when she had to get a little blood drawn. Luckily she recovered quickly thanks to a little mermaid sticker. Selah also did fairly well but has been pretty cranky for the past couple days.

Selah is now eating rice cereal and just started Veggies. I hate feeding babies! It's such a messy job and Selah seems to throw up everything she eats. I am constantly cleaning the carpet and doing laundry. She has also started to sit up for a brief period of time and is rolling like crazy! She is changing more and more each day.

Selah's Stats:

15 pounds 2 ounces 75%

Height 26inches 97%

Amaya's Stats: 4 months

11 pounds 8 oz. 10%

24 1/2 inches 50%

Amaya's Stats: 2 years
25 pounds 2 ounces 10-25%

33 1/2 inches 10-25%

Have you seen this "gummy bear" commercial?

As you can tell, Amaya loves it!

Selah just started going to bed at 8pm, so now both kids are in bed by 8:30! She is also eating cereal twice a day and loves it. She has such a sweet personality, always laughing and smiling. She is a real joy to be around. I'm really starting to get used to being a mom of two and I love it. Sure there are really hard days but over all it's good. I feel so blessed to have two beautiful, and healthy girls.

Amaya is getting so big. She went to her first princess birthday party this weekend. She had fun putting on makeup and glitter, painting her nails, and playing with other little princesses! I had a great time watching her, she is so much fun!


Our next adventure will be our trip to NYC for Melissa's graduation. We are being very brave and driving the entire 20 hour trip with both girls! We are leaving on Tuesday and taking our time getting there...no rushing. Please say a prayer for us.

My girls are becoming friends!

Rolling over!

Selah 14 1/2 weeks

Tonight I went to get Selah's 3 month pictures taken. She did such a great job and smiled so big for the camera. Enjoy the pictures!

The girls

Finally finding some time to blog again! It seems like I am always rushing around doing something with or for the girls:).



Selah is getting so big! She is three months old now and such a happy baby. Selah is always smiling and rarely cries. She recently started laughing! The only thing that's been harder this time around is the sleep. I am told that most babies wake up once or twice a night for the first year but Amaya was never like that, she was and is a great sleeper. Selah has been going to bed around 10pm and waking up around 6am, I am trying to get her to sleep until 8am. So far...no success:(.






Amaya is also growing up fast. She is extremely talkative these days and can even carry on a decent conversation! She loves to color and is doing a good job at knowing her colors. Yesterday I took Amaya to her first movie, "Elmo in grouchland". She loved it and stayed entertained the entire time.

Amaya finally likes tummy time:)

Happy 4th of July!
