We have a new cousin! Natalie Dawn was born November 8. She is adorable and so tiny. Madi and I went to visit her at the hospital. Bella had a cough & had to stay home, but I can't wait for Christmas when we will all be together. Sofia and Natalie are only 5 months apart, can't wait for them to be playmates when they get older!
Sweet Sofia was 5 months old on November 6th. She is getting so big. She is rolling around like a maniac on the floor with her toys. Also, we are starting some rice cereal and so far so good. She is such a happy smiley baby and we are so blessed to have her! She has started making more noises and offer babbles "dadadada". Billy loves it. It is gonna be so fun to watch this little stinker grow!
I'm a little behind. What's new. Its been busy. Anyway, Halloween was pretty mellow. We didn't hit any pumpkin patches this year. I feel a little guilty but the kids don't seem traumatized so I guess its OK. We trick-or-treated in our neighborhood which is pretty fun. I helped at Madi's school lime always. Madi was a witch, Bella was Mulan (random right) and Sofia was Snow White. A few pic collages below. :)
Bella loves to play with my makeup. She is always asking what stuff is and what I'm doing when I'm putting it on. She always wants some too and is obsessed with lip gloss. I ran to Walgreens the other day to grab some of the makeup they needed for dance, and I swear I was only talking to the sales girl for like 2 minutes! We looked over and were cracking up. My Bella girl is so silly! (She looks like the Joker)

The girls had their dance performance at the fair this past Friday. It was Bella's 1st time performing and she was so excited. She was soo cute! Just love that little face! She was excited to have her first dance bag and jacket. Madi did awesome too. She is such a performer. She sometimes goofs around in class, but when it is time to perform, she always has her game face on! She is very excited to be in Hot Shots this year and go to a few dance competitions, she is even gonna do a solo :) Everything was so busy and hectic that I did not get any pictures of them with their classmates. Bummer, they had a great time. Here are a few of those goofballs hamming it up!

Our sweet girl is 4 months old! She is getting so big and her little personality is shining through. She is so good, she mostly goes with the flow (thank goodness because we are always on the go). She is so smiley and talkative now. She loves to chew on her teethers or her hands, which ever she can find easiest. She has started reaching for toys and rolls from her back to her tummy!! She weighs 14 lbs 13.5 oz. That is a few oz more than Bella at 4 months and the same weight as Madi at 6 months!! She even had her first rice cereal yesterday. Look out everyone, this chunky baby loves food! She could not get enough and let's you know if you are too slow with the next bite. Bella and Madi love to feed her and are such good big sisters. We just love our Sweet Sofia sooooo much!

Billy took Madi to her first sun devils game over fall break. They had a great time and she can't wait to go back.

My sweet girl is getting so big!! She makes the cutest faces and is always smiling. Just a few cute pics of her and some cute pics of us at kids club.

Right before fall break there was crazy hair day. Madi was so excited and though she looked crazy I wish we had went with a wig!! I teased the heck out of it and it was really hard to comb out (lots of tears). At least she had a good crazy hair day!

We had a pretty low key fall break. We met friends at the park one day and we went to the zoo one day. Other than that we mostly hung out. The girls did some crafts at home and we relaxed. Miss Sofia did get her 1st zoo trip though and that was a fun day. :)

I am going be an auntie again!! My little brother Sean and his wife Amber are expecting a baby, a girl (yeah girls!). Miss Natalie is due right before Thanksgiving. We went to Kingman at the end of September for Ambers baby shower and had a fun weekend with just the girls. Sofia did not cooperate on the drive home though and cried most of the way. Poor Madi was in tears too. She was so frustrated trying to calm her down. She is such a good big sissy!

Things are pretty good here. We are getting back into a routine since I started back to work. A crazy hectic routine, but it works for us. The girls are still obsessed with Sofia and are pretty good helpers. I am of course sleep deprived and over caffeinated. Billy does great with the girls when I am at work, even when Sofia wakes him at 2am just to talk! Here are a few cute pics of the last couple of months.

My sweet baby is 3 months old!! She is such a good baby. She is so smiley and only really cries when she needs something. Still a ton of spit up but hoping that will get better in the next few months. She has discovered her hands and sucks on them constantly. She is getting a lot better with her head too and can sit in her bumbo seat now. We are working on tummy time and the girls are always shaking toys in her face, LOL. Pretty soon she will be able to push them out of her way. Poor thing, they love her so much and just want to be around her and help out, but sometimes the don't give her a moments peace! We love our sweet Sofia!

My sweet Bella fractured her collar bone! Poor thing was napping on the couch and rolled off. I was feeding the baby and heard a crash. I looked back and she was on the floor crying. At first I thought it was fine, but every time she moved her left arm she would scream bloody murder. It was scary, I'd never seen her like that. Then I noticed it was swollen so we loaded up and went to the ER. Billy met us there and was sure her shoulder was dislocated but xrays showed a clavicle fracture. The first couple of days were rough, but she is doing much better now! It has been about 4 weeks and she has returned to dance class but needs to wait a full 8 weeks to return to tumbling. She definitely misses it. That was an ordeal and I hope it never happens again. I'm glad my girl is OK!
