Thanksgiving 2012

We have so much to be thankful for these days. This was our first Thanksgiving with our new angel Lillian. It was a really busy holiday for us this year. We ended up having to make a trip down south for a funeral for our Mabel so I spent most of the morning packing and cooking for our lunch. We loaded up and headed over to The Hill's for lunch and it was wonderful. Oh my, we know how to do it right in this family. The entire kitchen was full , I am pretty sure we could have fed an army . We had 8 adults and 4 kids and I can tell you we had  7 desserts. HAHA!! But it was so fun to spend time with The Warren family before heading out to Houston. Here are some pictures from the day. The girls looked adorable. Mom and I made their tutu's this year and it turned out to be really pretty easy. Except I used glitter tulle and note to self never do that again it was everywhere... We will be finding it for months. A few things we are thankful for this year:

1: Adding Lillian to the family.

2: For our Health and Happiness.

3: For our amazing family that is always there for us.

4. For Palmtree Resort Properties and the great year we are having.

5. For our Home.

6. For our sweet Harper that always keeps us laughing. 

7.Adding Mimi to our household.

8. And grateful for another year of blessings from GOD.

What I am so thankful for everyday.

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Love , The Warren Family

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas.

Harper and I pulled out the decorations before Thanksgiving and started putting it all up. Harper is so much fun this year with the holidays because she understands more. So we started with the big tree and my big girl decorated away! I have such a good helper.b Who says you should wait until Thanksgiving to put up the tree!!!

I also ordered Lillian's stocking for the mantle. Another stocking added to our mantel. Wow our family keeps growing. 

Happy Holidays from The Warren's

Lillian 4 Months Old

My precious little angel I cannot believe you are already 4 months old. When I think back 4 months it's hard to remember life without you . Yes being a mother to two kids is harder and yes I am so exhausted and yes I am never caught up on the house work but I could not be happier than I am right in this moment. Brad and I are so honored to be your parents. Your smile melts our hearts. 

4 New Things:

1. You crack up when Harper talks to you. I think this is my favorite thing you do. It makes me unbelievably happy to see you guys interact and love each other. I hope you always love your sister the way that you do right now. It is so adorable.

2. Rice Cereal. I was planning on not doing any food until after 6 months like I did with Harper but the pediatrician said it could help your reflux. We are hoping it helps to weigh the food in your tummy down and help you to be more comfortable. I tried the last 3 nights and you love it. Harper never loved this stuff and it is so fun to watch you enjoy it. Right now you suck on the spoon. Maybe you will love baby food. 

3. Rolling all over the place. Before you would roll over but now you are everywhere. I have to watch you . After your bath every night I look up and you are in a new place quickly. Slow down baby girl , mommy isn't ready for you to be a big girl.

4. Becoming more clingy. As you get older you have officially figured out that you love to be held. I guess it was about time anyways! Haha! Who could blame you. It is always better to be in mommies arms.

Lately sleeping is 3-4 hours at a time. Dr. B said he would like to see you go at least 5 at this point but with your reflux it doesn't surprise him you aren't quite there. Once we started giving you bottles we quickly realized you do not take much at one time. We call you the snacker and the cat napper. Your eyes are starting to look more green like your daddies and you are wearing 3 / 3-6 month clothes. You are still in size 1 diapers but starting to get little rolls on your legs so it won't be long. I love watching you play now. You love your play mat and you love to play with all the baby toys. You even started using the bouncer and even though your little legs do not touch the floor you play with all the toys on it.

Stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 13 oz     ( 10%)

Height: 24 inches           ( 45%)

Head: 15 1/2 inches      (10%)

You are so beautiful Lillian. My favorite time of the day is when you nap and I get to cuddle with you. I love to rock you in our chair and snuggle. You have such a sweet personality and I cannot wait to watch you grow. We love you angel and here are a few fun 4 month pictures.

And here is an adorable video of you laughing at mommy! 

November 14, 2008

This was the day we celebrated our marriage with a wedding! HA!

So as you all know Brad and I were married in October but we had our wedding in Mexico on November 14. We didn't have the chance to celebrate on our real anniversary so we called both grandmothers in to help out so that we could go out on our wedding date instead. Or actually the next night because we couldn't get it together on the 14th and had to change our reservations. Ha ha , isn't that the story of our lives.. But we wouldn't have it any other way!

Brad found a  really nice restaurant on Travelzoo and we headed out for our first night alone in over 5 months. I cannot lie it was so hard to leave the girls and Lillian was screaming her head off when we left but it all settled down quickly and we ended up having a great night out. I am still giggling thinking about that night though, because the place we went to was really nice but we were the youngest by 30 years at least. When Brad and I left we both we thinking that it was the strangest dinner we had ever had. But the food was good and I had the best company ever... I am so lucky to be married to my best friend and we always enjoy our time together.

Happy Anniversary Angel !! Looking forward to many more anniversary dinners to come.

Listen to me !

Someone has a lot to say!
