Adelyn - 8 months

Adelyn is 8 months old. She is such a little cutie. She loves her brother and sister and laughs and squeals with joy when they play with her. She is very happy and smiles a lot. She lights up when Markham gets home. She waits for him to greet her and loves it when he carries her around. She loves to roll and does so all over the house. We have to watch out for those stairs...she is quick. She is such a joy to have and we couldn't imagine our lives without her. She sleeps like a dream at night and takes 2! naps during the day. I feel so blessed!! I am getting my sleep at night which makes me a much better and happier mommy.

I always hoped I could give Kaitlyn a sister. What a blessing.

Down Time

We enjoyed some down time in California

Markham loves his baby girl and ALL dachshunds. It doesn't even matter who it belongs to.

Jackson is 4!!

According to Jackson's wish, he blew out 4 candles atop a giant web. He had been reminding me he wanted such a cake for the last 6 months, with Spider-man plates, cups and balloons. We had to go to several stores to find all of it, but we made it happen. Happy Bday Jackson!! We love you!

He is never short on character - always hamming it up.

It was fun to be in California and celebrate with Markham's family.

Watch out Spider-man! The TMNTs have arrived!

Aunt Jen made him a Turtle pillowcase!!

Gotta love Duck Dynasty!!

Jackson will be starting preschool soon. I honestly can't believe he is that old. He is my little man. I will miss his humor and company around the house. He is chock full of personality and cracks me up daily. I love his big smile and belly laugh. He is an awesome big brother to Addie and absolutely adores Kaitlyn. He loves playing Batman Lego on the Wii and preschool games on NickJr. He has a very active imagination. I often find him laying on his tummy playing with his turtles, guys or monster trucks. He always has an interesting dialogue going on. It makes me giggle. He loves playing with cousins and friends and going to Primary. He is all about Spider-man, but is way into the Turtles now too. I guess time will tell what birthday cake he will want next year...or probably in 6 months, lol.
