Eliana six months

Six months. This makes me excited and sad at the same time. Why you might ask?

I am excited because in six short months she has turned from a eating, pooping, sleeping machine into

a smiling, cooing, giggling little girl that is starting to get her own personality.

It makes me sad because as fast as these six months came so will another, and another and another.

Before I know it I will be watching her first dance at her wedding. I'm going to

stop there before I have a nervous breakdown. Eliana has been such a joy to our family and I can not imagine life before her little smile. It is so funny how after you have children it is hard to imagine not ever having them.

Eliana is not a fan of bath time yet. But we have found that having distraction of big brother helps.

Eliana and her bestie Sailor. This was taking during the Saints game. Love these little WHO DATS!

Six months and has found her toes. I love this. She is now forever grabbing and playing with her feet.

We got out Sebastian's high chair and strapped it to one of the dining room chairs this month.

It is so funny seeing this thing. Now while mommy cooks or does some light (key word light) cleaning she can see all the action.

Oatmeal was a hit! I didn't even try the rice ceral this time around. Bash had a reaction and didnt want to chance it. She loves it thick. If it is too watery she will not have that!

So far the veggies go as follows: peas, green beans, squash, carrots

fruit: bananas

She is such a good eater. She hasnt given me a hard time with anything yet and it looks like peas and carrots may be her favorites.

keep growing my little sweet potato. I cant wait to see what kind of joy you bring to this world.

in search of the great pumpkin

So every year I drag, yes drag, my beloved family to Hammond, la to Mrs. Heathers pumpkin patch.

They have everything. pumpkins, corn feild maze, zip lines, giant air jump, etc etc etc. We really

had a great time except one thing it was HOT. I am talking hot as hell. I mean who wears a tank top to pick up fall pumpkins? This Louisiana girl.

It was so hard to get both of my littles to both smile and look at the camera. My motto for the day for my pictures was "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit." I will say I think I got some cute ones that represent my little family well.

the Bash is FOUR!

I seriously can not believe that my firstborn baby boy is four! WTH?!?!?!?! Where does the time go really?

this year we wanted to keep it fun and colorful. So we came up with monsters! I got tons of ideas from pinterest and web searches so dont think I'm that creative.

Dessert Table:

adorable cake pops from Queen of pops, cupcakes from sams club, and I made the pretzels.

monster apple and apple "crack" dip.
