Lincoln 4 months - Addie 19 months

I can't believe how fast they both are growing! Lincoln's personality is starting to come out and Addie is this little person now! 

 four months

19 months & 4 months

These pictures with both kids are getting harder and harder to take! They just want to play! Maybe next month will be different, but this was the best picture I could get!

Fun at Aunt Heidi & Uncle Bob's

Since I am staying home with the kiddos, my schedule allows me to stay up at Heidi's for a couple nights every now and then. Addie loves getting to play with the boys so I plan to stay a couple days every time we head up there. Heidi and Bob are now back in Cleveland which is about an hour closer for us to travel! 

Here are some pictures of the kids and the fun activities we were able to do!

 We visited the Vermillion beach one day! Loved seeing the kids play in the sand!

Boys being boys :)

 MawMaw loving on Addie and Nolan

We headed to a wildlife exhibit in Bay Village for a small activity. I wish we had a place like this close to us! It was so cool!

Which Fish are you???

We also just loved hanging out at the house. Their backyard is a huge play place!

One last picture...we hit up the library for story time! The lady who read the story had the coolest slippers on! They were rabbits and every time she took a step, the ears perked up!

Her attention span is very small right now :)

Yogi Bear Camping Weekend

Bob rented a cabin up in Indiana for a weekend at a Yogi Bear camp ground. The weekend we chose to go actually conflicted with Edd's Browns game weekend, so I decided to take the kids with me to go camping. Mawmaw would be there with us to help out with all the kids. We drove up Friday night and arrived at the cabin around 9p which is 2 hours already past Addie's bedtime...all sleep routines were thrown out the window for this weekend! Once Addie saw the boys there, she went crazy! She loves her cousins and is always so excited to play with them!

The camp ground had tons of activities for the kiddos to do! A water park, lake, swing sets, playgrounds, a jump pad, swimming pools, hay rides, train rides, bingo, etc.!

Addie loved swimming in the lake! She did not want to get out and go back to the cabin! She would squeal at the top of her lungs every time I would twirl her around in the water. :)

After eating breakfast on Saturday morning at the camp ground store we headed out to check the little paddle boats out and we fed the fish some bread. The boys of course were jumping across some rocks that were in a little gully area with some water (boys being boys) and of course Addie wanted to be with them! She started running right towards them and didn't realize there was a little drop off to where the boys were. Yep, you guessed it! She slipped right down into the mud and water! She was so shocked and confused! We all had a great laugh after we knew she was okay!

The trip was definitely crazy with 5 kids out numbering the adults! I wouldn't have traded it for anything though. We had so much fun!

 

 

 

 

 one of my all time favorite pictures of the boys and Addie

 

We had an amazing time and I will never forget this trip! I can't wait for our next one!

Lincoln 3 months - Addie 18 months

 three months

18 months - 3 months

Addie is absolutely loving her role as big sister. She hops up on the couch to help me burp Lincoln when I am feeding him and always is giving him kisses. She started saying his name but pronounces it as "Gink-in". It is so stinking cute and I hope she always calls him that!

Addie is saying so many words now! We really have to watch what we say because she is repeating a lot of things we say. I said Geez the other day and she repeated it right after me! Ha! I laughed out loud at her. 

Lincoln is definitely a mama's boy! Which I am loving, don't get me wrong, but he loves to be held! He is also crying really hard right before he is about to fall asleep. I'm not sure why babies fight sleep! I love to sleep! Once he is sleeping, he is out and that is when all the snuggles happen!

sleep :)

Lincoln is sleeping through the night (7 weeks)! I tried to stick to the same schedule with Linc as I did with Addie to ensure he would be sleeping through the night...needless to say, my kids love to sleep as much as I do!

Here are some sleepy pics of the kiddos :)

so stinkin cute!

 Addie is fearless! She thinks everything is funny and is a game. When I start to discipline her, she just laughs at me!

 We had a fun day at Innis Woods

 Ashley got Addie this gift when Linc was born. The best gift ever for a little girl who just had her world rocked by a baby brother. She feeds this baby when I feed Lincoln and she will burp the baby too! It is so cute! She is going to be a great mom one day!

 Addie's silly face! Ha!

Aunt Heidi and the boys came down to Cbus for a couple days! We had a blast! We met our cousins and aunt and uncles at the Cheesecake factory for Aunt Sharon's bday!

Going out to eat with two little ones is a feat! I struggle with meeting people out because it is very hard to carry on a conversation with them while I am tending to a toddler who is trying to eat and stay occupied and a baby that is either hungry, or on a good day, sleeping! I have been really trying to stay calm in these situations because I have found myself having anxiety as soon as we walk into a restaurant. My nerves take over and I am very grouchy and not myself. I literally have to tell myself to calm down and relax! It sounds crazy but it is a struggle for me!

Crazy life :)

I am loving this crazy life! As hectic and stressful it gets at some points, it is totally worth it. Here are some pictures of Lincoln! He has completely stolen my heart. His smile lights up my days :)

I love this little dude! He is a growing maniac though! I wish time would stand still or at least slow down!
