2 months

9 weeks!!

Well, we are finally turning a corner with this whole sleeping in the day and partying at night thing with Ms. Britann. I admit it has been a long process with many sleepless nights but she seems to be coming around. Last night she actually went 9 hours without a bottle!!! yeah!! The only problem is that she sleeps best when right next to mommy. I said I wouldn't do that but as all my plans usually go, I caved in!! She loves to snuggle, I actually think that she is going to be a great snuggle bunny for years to come because she is happiest all bundled up and right next to me. I didn't think I would be able to sleep this way but I guess I underestimated how tired I was because I snooze right along with her now. She is becoming such a happy baby now that some of the gas issues are behind us. I am actually getting her to coo now and she smiles like crazy at all of us crazy folks. She is also putting on the lbs! For a small gal she is gaining like crazy, she was up to 10 1/2 lbs at her appointment this week. She is in the 50th percentile for weight and height. She was 23 inches long. She is now taking at least 4 to 5 ounces of milk every 3 hours except at night where she is going about 8 or 9 hours. I am so glad to see her gaining weight finally.
As for Ms. Addie Blaire she is a big help and loves her baby sister! She kisses on her all the time and told me the other day that I was being mean to baby sister because she was crying. She is taking up for her already!!She is full of funny sayings these days to. She told my mom the other day that "she was giving her a headache" and that "she was hurting her ears!" when my mom was telling her something to do. She even walked out of the house the other day when it was raining and she said "I've got a bad feeling about this!" I love how her personality is developing more and more each day. She is using vocabulary that I have never heard before. She told me the other day that I was "making her nervous, and that I was making her jealous" not sure that she used them in the correct sense of the word but still impressed! She is still loving her school, she even got all the Disney princess dolls from dad the other day because she had gone all night without peeing in her diaper!! Hey that is a big deal around our house. We actually had forgotten to put a diaper on her that night, oops. She is trained but the night time is still a work in progress. Well anyway dad bought her these dolls and she has now named them all after the kids in her class. Even the boys! She plays with them all the time and we have school. She is the sweetest little thing and she just makes me smile all the time. I have not been so good at taking pictures here recently but here are a few I manged to take of the girls. I start back to work in pharmaceuticals next week so I am enjoying as much time with the girls this week. Luckily it will be flex time work so I can still get those days at home to hang out with them!

These are a few pictures that I bought the rights to from the girls first photo session with a photographer. She got some really great pictures I may have to go back and order a few more of them, it is always so hard to decide. I love that she was able to get a few of them together because it is way to hard to do by myself, a baby would end up on the floor if I did!

Addie Blaire had just been crying about getting her pictures taken and the baby had pooped and pee pee on me, oh about 3 times before this session was over. Oh the memories we will have!

I love this sweet picture of her sleeping even though I used one like this with her eyes open for the birth announcement this is still my favorite picture of her so far. My house is going to look like a shrine to my kiddos!

Just hanging out with my girls, Addie loves for baby sister to get her big girl bed.
One way to get baby sister to look at the camera...

I got this outfit from my friend Jennifer and it was so cute, I had to take some pictures in it. At least the girl has got some bling for now!
I took a few pictures of the girls in holiday gear for what I thought would be a Christmas card picture but it didn't quite work out. However, it was pretty comical and Addie was pretty full of Smarties when it was over so I guess she won't be disappointed!






Well I didn't do such a good job taking pictures at Thanksgiving this year. We spent the holidays with my family this year. However, G was in town earlier in the week and we met her for steaks one night. It was Mitch's idea of a perfect Thanksgiving meal.
This is my only Thanksgiving picture. I had intentions of taking pictures with my parents and I never seemed to get around to doing so. I guess we were too busy taking care of the kiddos to take any pictures. I'll have to do better at Christmas.
Aunt T and Nana watched the kids on Saturday so Mitch and I could go watch the Hogs beat LSU!! She said after spending the day with the kiddos she understands why I seem so crazy everytime she calls. I think the word she used was "constant" that would be a pretty good description! We even had a girls night on Friday night while the guys were hunting, (yes, Mitch went) but I don't think he did much time on the stand for those that know him well! We had a mani pedi night and I wish I had taken a picture of my toes, I let Addie do the painting and well I think I got my money's worth with her in charge.

Fall Fun!

The girls and I had our first girls weekend since Britann was born. We spent Thursday night with dad in Hot Springs, which was Britann's first time to the condo. Addie was so excited to show her the place. Addie just loves getting to go there as much as we do I guess. On Friday, we headed out to Little Rock. We met up with Aunt Brandee and Addie stayed with Mason that night while Brandee, Britann, and I met up with my sister and mom for Holiday House. It was alot of fun, I always enjoying going just to get into the spirit of things. Britann was a trooper she slept through the whole ordeal which was good and bad considering I knew I would pay for it later!! I didn't even buy a thing, which is a first for me, but I did lots of sampling goodies and making a wish list for next year!! That night the girls and I stayed with Aunt T and the next morning we all went to help her register for baby Lila!! It was exciting to be there but I am afraid I was not too much help to her considering I had one baby taking a bottle and the other one climbing the wall of the store. I headed back after that and Addie had 2 birthday parties that afternoon. I made it a little late to the first and when we headed home to change up from the horse party to the princess party I realized I was locked out of the house!!! Needless to say a few hours later and a locksmith paid we were safe and sound inside!! I truly am losing my mind these days, I would love to blame it on pregnancy but I can't anymore!! We had a great time and Nana even stayed the night with us that night, thank goodness cause mommy was pooped!

Britann on the hay at the horse party.

Amy brought her awesome horse who was so gentle with the kids and Addie saddled up right away.



Addie Blaire and the birthday girl, Peyton.

Next it was on to Katie Ella's party. Addie loved this dress. She wanted all the makeup I would put on her and as you can tell in the picture her fake earrings were a necessity!

Addie and Lydia finding treasures and jewels.

Addie and the birthday girl, Katie

All the beautiful princesses!

These are a few pictures from a few weeks back when Addie Blaire's school had the fire fighters come give a talk. She got to try it all out and the whole class was in awe of the fire truck of course.



Britann wasn't as interested...

Hosing down the neighborhood.





Halloween 2010!

Halloween 2010 started out with a bang!! It was our first time out of the house practically so mom and dad were pretty excited about it too!! I had ordered little Brit a costume but she was just a wee bit too small for it so we kinda winged it on her costume this year. Addie Blaire had decided to be supergirl several months ago. But lately when I had asked after purchasing the costume she had changed her mind to batgirl or something like that so we just made it a generic "girl" costume to save the argument when anyone asked this year. We meet up with their cousins at mamaw's house for some pictures and candy before the church. This year we did it on Saturday night in town so that was nice for all of us. I can't wait til next year when both my girls will be all dressed up and ready to go.

Supergirl and supergirl's baby sister as Addie put it!

We had to loss the tutu it was a little overpowering for the wee one. As you can tell this wasn't the second picture I took so Addie looks a little too happy to be posing by this point.

Her shirt read "Daddy's under my spell" Mitch says that is very true but it is more like a trance considering the lack of sleep we have around our house these days!!



The girls all trying to pose according to costume for us. They might need a little work on that one if you ask me.


That is more like it, now you are looking like you are ready to get um' supergirl!

Thanks to Aunt T for mom's supercool tights!

All the little girl's in this family. It is so funny how this generation is being overpowered by girls!! How fun this will be for them all in year's to come and now with Aunt T's baby my girls will have girls on both sides!!


Well, at least one of them was still awake by the time we made it to our church for Trunk or Treat!

The preacher and his wife handing out candy.

These two went all out this year. How cute is that car!

Grif and Addie Blaire went around their neighborhood for a little more treating that night, mommy needed a few more candy bars to be complete!!

I think this might be the coolest blow up I have seen, not only did the eyes light up but the head moved back and forth, pretty scary!



After the treating we went over to the Whitlock's for chili and it sure was good. At last dad was glad to be done, something about a Razorback game he was wanting to watch!!

Halloween day on the way to church.

Happy Halloween to all from the Bobo's!

1 month

My bright eyed angel is 1 month today!! I am so proud of this sweet little girl. She has added so much to our family. I am so glad to see her growing and showing more personality each day. She smiles now!! She is weighing around 7 lbs. right now. She is still sleeping most of the night. She is just really late to go to bed. She goes to sleep at about 11 pm and then wakes at 3 and 6 for feeding. She is taking a good 3 or 4 ounces every bottle now. Such a big girl!!

I got sick last weekend and was running a fever so my mom came down on Saturday and took Addie to a birthday party for me. They had a great time at Jumpin Apes from what I hear.

She was doing her newest song, 5 little pumpkins. It is so cute she knows it word for word. I am so excited to talk with her each day I pick her up because it seems she is learning something new everyday. She now knows her days of the week too.


Got hogs? We have plenty of hog gear so be prepared each week to see some!


Addie helped me give Britann her first bath in a real bath tub. She had such a good time and let me tell you that baby was clean when she was done with her!


Big sister, little sister!

I can't wait to take another picture of these two and watch them grow up.

Finally i am catching some pictures of those big eyes, still yet to be determined what color??



1 month. This was the only big stuffed animal we had so she will have plenty of time to outgrow this guy!
