Happy New Year!

I don't know how 2017 can top 2015 or 2016 but here's to hoping! The girls are growing so fast I need to write down a few things just so I don't forget. I haven't been updating as often, everyone talks about "pregnancy brain" but in true Cory fashion I am opposite. I was pretty clear headed while pregnant, breastfeeding on the other hand, I'm totally fuzzy. So here we go while my brain is working..

Hailey- Sister Friend is growing up so fast. She is getting so smart and learning so much. We're still working hard on her talking, she has several words, but we're trying to get her off of "ugh ugh ugh" and pointing to get what she wants. She has also started to pee pee in the potty! Which is very exciting, we don't want to rush her, I'm thinking we'll give her at least month or two before we do any sort of potty training. She is such a good big sister. She tries to play with Jailynn, bring her toys, dance with her and give her kisses. It makes my heart so happy to see the two of them loving each other. Hailey also has at least 10 teeth now! Poor girl, they all came at once, but at least she has some now! Her favorite things are her baby dolls, cleaning supplies, Aaaamma and reading.

Jailynn- Sister Pie is the sweetest smiley girl. She is such a trooper, she loves her sister so much. Even when sister tries to "give her her medicine", put hats on her head or kiss her just a little bit too hard. She chews on everything! She is going to be our baby lead weaning girl, she is ready to eat everything we are. She is also On. The. Move. You lay her down on her back on her play mat, come back in two minutes and she is on her belly, facing the other way, with one of Hailey's toys in her mouth. Buckle down, with two mobile babies under two, stuffs gonna get cray.

I'm sure there is more I am missing. These girls do something new and amazing everyday. We love them so much we can't even stand it.

4 Months, Shots, and Earrings

Sweet baby J turned 4 months old! She is on the move lately rolling and scooting all over the place. She loves watching her sister run around and gets so upset that she can't do the same. She's turning into such a sweet, gentle little cuddle bug. We all love her so much and are loving watching her grow!  Also this week Jailynn got her ears pierced and 4 months shots. She handled both like a champion and her earrings look adorable.

Favorite things: Her teethers, fingers and watching her sister.

Christmas Day

Today was a busy day. Santa came to our house, Hailey was very excited about the pouch he put in her stocking and Jailynn loved her new teether. Then we headed up to Nonie and Papa's house, everyone looked so cute in their matching "Santa jammies". Jailynn napped and hung out like a champ and Hailey had so much fun opening presents and eating Aunt Heather's special cinnamon rolls. It was such a great day, we are so lucky to have all that we do in our life.

Christmas Eve

Tonight we celebrated Christmas at Amma and Papa's house. The girls had so much fun, Hailey really enjoyed having chocolate milk for dinner, she thinks we should have that ALL the time.

 

Makeup

One of Hailey's favorite things to do is help me put on makeup in the morning. We put Baby J down for her morning nap, I bring my makeup bag downstairs and we sit on the floor and do make up, or Ah Mama as she calls it. She likes to take all the stuff out of the bag, she holds the mascara bottle up to her eye and brushes her face with the brushes. The whole time I'm saying no we don't take the lid off, no mouth, no eyes. I underestimated how much she pays attention to what I'm doing during our makeup sessions because I looked up from my mascara this morning to find this staring back at me. Guess I'll have to pay a little extra special attention during our makeup time from now on.

Saaaaanta!

We took the girls to visit Santa twice this year. I would call both times a success. We totally thought Hailey was going to "pull a Cory" and scream cry, but she ended up just being her normal judgy looking self. Baby J was easy as always and just hung out in Santa's arms.
