He's NINE!!

Happy 9th Birthday, Trey J!!!! 

I cannot believe that my baby boy turned NINE today!!! Donuts for breakfast & presents before school...what could be better than that?!?

Birthdays are the BEST. 

Decorating time!!! There's something I love about decorating a little space for the birthday boy...wonder how long it'll be until he thinks it's corny...ha! Hopefully  not until he's at least 20!!! ❤️

My kinda card...nothing my heartfelt handwritten messages!!! ❤️

Which is ALWAYS the first thing he reads!! He knows his momma is going to write something sappy!!! 

Helpers & the best sisters ever!! 

His favorite!! Catching bugs goodies from MawMaw Cindy!! 

And a pogo stick!! He's been asking for one... Can't stop, won't stop pogo-ing!!

Birthday Song Smiles!!!

Make a wish!!!

Who wants donuts for breakfast when you just a new pogo stick?!?

Birthday Boy and his Daddy!! ❤️

Happy Birthday, Buddy!! 

Trey Man...you're an amazing boy who's full of a zest for life & has the kindest heart ever. You're a rule follower & movie watcher. Catching bugs is your hobby, but touching those little crawlers is not your jam. (Hence the bug vacuum from MawMaw! Ha!) your into having buddies over to play b-ball and trade sports cards with. Baseball's your thing now & you've really started getting into it! (Which this ball playin' momma is living!) The rules are making sense & you're getting the hang of it all. Shortstop & pitcher are your favorite. You still love chocolate milk & egg & cheese roll-ups. You're smile lights up our lives & your sense of humor is downright comical. School's your thing, but you sure are ready for summer!!! Always know how proud I am to be your Mom & that I'm always in your corner, cheering for you all of the way! Dream big and never forget to believe in yourself!!! 

Lots of Love, 

Mom

It's a HALF birthday PARTY!!!

Little Miss Taylen Jae celebrated her 6 month birthday yesterday by laughing, rolling over, drooling, drinking babas, sitting up with support, smiling, smiling, and more smiling!!! What a fun day!!

What a SWEET HEART you are, Taylen Jae!! I cannot believe you, my baby girl, are already SIX months old! You're weighing in at 18 lbs, 27 1/2 inches long, and are obviously growing like a weed. You are still as happy as ever and still don't quite know what to do with rice cereal. It doesn't matter if it thicker, thinner, or flavored with yummy bananas...you just don't want anything to do with it. You continue to crack up at your brother and sister...and ALWAYS are sooooo stinkin' laid back! You have your first tooth coming in...it's a pokin' through!! You're movin' and groovin' and LOVING your stroller rides and Mommy's silly babble talk. You are even starting to make a few sounds that definitely sound like, "Da-Da!" I think I totally know what your first word is going to be....So. Cute.

I LOVE you to pieces and pieces!!!

Happy 6 Month, Sweet Baby Girl!!!

My baby is officially....

ONE MONTH old!!! Today marks Taylen Jae's one month birthday!! It's crazy to think that my little peanut is already a whole month old. I feel like just yesterday we saw those two positive lines on that pregnancy test and look where we are now....

So Big and posing on the chair with her cute little jogging outfit, big alert eyes, and cute little toes.... 

Lounging and trying to suck on that hand...always!!!

Here's a shot from two days ago!! Daddy thinks your bow looks silly! Yes, it is practically bigger than your little head, but I think it looks adorable!!! (And, it totally reminds me of those old Aunt Jemima commercials...just sayin')  

Happy One Month, Miss Taylen....you are weighing in at 9 1/2 pounds and measuring 23 inches now and are so much more alert! Yesterday you even started making those cute, cute "coo-ing" sounds!!! Wish you could tell me what you think of this big old world, but I know that milestone will be here before we know, so for now, I'll keep taking in all those funny grunts and toots....love you, baby girl!!!
