Jonquil Festival and Groovin' good times!

Britann is 6 months now!! She is getting so big and on her 6 month birthday we celebrated by taking the girls to the Jonquil festival. We also hit a major milestone she is sitting all by herself now!!! I am so proud of her because she has just really gotten so good at keeping her balance all on her own. She is still a little small she is 14 lbs and 9 ounces and 25 inches, which the doctor says is in the 25% for her age. It is hard to believe because she eats all the time and we are just now at (61/2 months) eating at breakfast, lunch and dinner. She is also taking about 25 ounces to 30 ounces of milk a day. Hard to believe she is in the 25% percentile after all that huh! The girls had both been pretty sick the past week before with Addie Blaire having strep throat and Britann a double ear infection so it was so nice to get out of the house for all of us. Who couldn't resist posting this smiling little face!! Sitting up all by herself for the first time!! She has really got it down now she doesn't wipe out nearly as much these days! Just look at those sweet little toes, definitely not her mother's daughter...
And now she can actually reach them!



These pictures are from Addie Blaire's field trip a couple of weeks ago. We went with her class and all the mom's to hear this guy (sorry i forgot his name) in Texarkana. Addie and her class had been practicing all the songs for a few weeks that he sings (all to Beatles music) and Mrs. Michelle said that Addie by far has the loudest voice in the class when she sings she gives it all she has, once again not her mother's daughter! She had been singing for me the "bumpin up and down in the yellow Volkswagen" for a few weeks but it wasn't til I was there that I really appreciated it! She knew all those songs by heart, I was so impressed. I really think she gets her memory from her dad because he can remember songs I never even heard before. It was so cute to see firsthand though. These are the days I am so thankful for a flexible job!

The whole gang Livi, Saylor, Addie, Peyton, Griffin, Jarrett, and Aubrey.
Addie talked me into this headband to match hers. Kinda fun already sharing some style tips for ole mom, they grow up so fast.
Addie Blaire, Mrs. Michelle and Grif
So excited, she just loves doing everything, I wish we could all be that way she truly is the happiest kid no matter whether we are at home hanging out or on the go. It is really one of the things I love most about that kid!

The field trip wasn't complete without a stop by Chucky Cheese for lunch. Although I must admit I was so disappointed that the characters don't still put on a show, I guess I am showing my age but that is how I remember it. And there weren't as many cool games, but no worries I still have my skeet ball skills!
Just isn't the same without that big bear and crew!
I had to show a picture of my latest design for Brit!! I thought it turned out pretty cool, probably would never get her to wear it if she had a say so, but at least we tried it once!
Happy St. Patricks day. I had bought this at Target several weeks ago and even though she was running a fever I made the poor thing wear it on the big day. I guess I am a terrible mom for taking a picture of her when she was feeling so bad but I couldn't resist. She ended up having a double ear infection which was a first for her. But it made her a very sick little girl for a couple of days. Thanks to Dr. Douglas for even meeting us on a Saturday just to get her feeling better. We love some Dr. D!
Addie didn't really understand the whole green thing, but once I told her she might get pinched we couldn't find enough green to put on her!
The jonquil festival was our first day out of the house and we made the most of it!! Addie loved getting her face painted and her little headpiece with streamers. It was so hot that day that maybe it made the strawberry lemonade taste better but it was some of the best I ever had.
Little Brit Brit (as we call her) was feeling much better too. We just had to keep that bald head out of the sun, not used to seeing that yet.
If you ask me this guy looked pretty scary but Addie climbed right up there and pretty soon as I anxiously awaited to see what she thought of it I saw this.....
She is really not scared of any of these things, too bad mom sorta is... what fun the festival turned out to be. Even daddy said he had fun.

Lovin some festival food.
We actually had to turn the stroller around to push just to keep those sweet cheeks out of the sun.
If anyone has any ideas of how to do it better than this pose just let me know!! good thing i have paint shop..

Wishing everyone a bright and beautiful spring!
