Heehaw Farms

My Mom took all the grandkids (minus my sister Kari and kids who are in TX) to Heehaw Farms a few days ago.  At Heehaw you can pet all the farm animals you want, ride on a hay ride, pick pumpkins, shoot corn cannons, slide down a gigantic slide etc.  This was our second year going and it was awesome.  Carly was in heaven being able to touch all the farm animals!  It was a really nice day out and Holland loved it too!

I can’t EVER get both kiddos to look at me at the same time! 

Holland’s 2 month stats

I love my little chunk!

2 months!

Holland is the sweetest, chill baby.  She just hangs out and goes with the flow.  She has been a great sleeper and goes to sleep almost every night at 9:30 and sleeps until 9 the next morning with 2-3 wake ups during those 12 hours.  She doesn’t like to be held when she’s trying to go to sleep. I just feed her and lay her down and she’ll fall asleep on her own.  She almost never falls asleep while she’s nursing. I had to hold Carly ALL the time when she was this age, but Holland would rather just hang out in her swing or bouncer by herself. 

She loves loves her pacifier, car seat, and “talking” to us - especially talking to Carly.  I’m taking her in for her checkup on Friday so I’ll post her stats then!

First time…

…going peep on the pot! 

I haven’t been too fond of the idea of potty training Carly.  Diapers are convenient right?  Really I’ve just been lazy and done ZERO potty training with Carly.  This morning she came up to me and said, “mommy I think I have to go potty.”  So I put her on the pot and she peed!  I guess I need to quit being lazy and just potty train her now.   Isn’t she so cute???

Holland’s Blessing

We blessed Holland last Sunday.  It was our last Sunday in our ward and it was so nice to have as many family and friends as we did participate in it!  Holland was awesome during the blessing and slept during the get-together afterwards.  Casey gave a very sweet blessing and I felt like the luckiest girl and mom in the world to have such an amazing husband and wonderful girls!

This is what Holland did pretty much the entire day!  I love those chubby cheeks!

I thought it was fun to see this picture of Carly’s bessing.  Carly and Holland look pretty similar to me!

My mom always knows how to get Holland to stop fussing.  Holland LOVES grandma!

We love you so much sweet Holland!

1 month!

 

My sweet Holland girl is 1 month old today!  She is the sweetest baby in the world.  I really couldn’t ask for a better baby! She loves to just hang out and look around, and when she’s tired I’ll just put her down on the bed and she’ll fall asleep! She has been an amazing sleeper (for a newborn). She usually only wakes up 1 time to eat at night which has been a dream come true. 

   She has been smiling for a few weeks and it melts my heart when she smiles back at me.  She has the most kissable cheeks, and I kiss them all the time. 

She loves her pacifier, and I love that she loves it. It helps her go to sleep and we don’t need to rock her for hours like we had to do with Carly every night. 

We are so grateful for Holland and her sweet spirit.  She really is an angel sent from heaven.  We love her so much!
