Last post Jan 11th... ? WHAT?

I've been seriously neglecting this blog. Don't worry it isn't dead I am still here and it's often on my mind, but while I was swamped with life (loads and loads of laundry, one after the other and the other.....) and my other "job" (photography) I decided to just let this one "rest". I also felt like I didn't have much to say here. I have LOADS of photos to post, but it just felt all overwhelming to think of going through them and choosing ones! Sad. But the lack of something to write has been a pain. I think it has been the weather or something, but I've been super low on energy and creativity lately so I kept putting off updating my poor old blog! :)

So to sum up the past month or so, I'll start with Madison:

- She is now 6 months
- She weighs a whopping 19 lbs 6 oz
- She has two teeth on the bottom
- She is just starting to sit up
- She is the most even tempered child we have, and it's just wonderful!!!
- She has reddish hair and a very light complexion
- She is now bottle fed, I just didn't have enough milk for her and the blocked ducts were just getting me down!
- She likes to eat, but not a lot.
- She sucks two fingers (index and middle) and falls asleep on her own
- I think she is friggin' cute!! ♡ ♡ ♡
- and growing too fast!

Her sisters LOVE her!!

Gillian:
- she is now 2 1/2
- just like Abby, she is very agile, and athletic. We put skates on her and she was practically skating on her own after two tries!
- her smile lights up the room
- She isn't speaking as well as she should be for her age, so I'm going to look into speech therapy
- She LOVES to get dressed, and does it multiple times in the day so there are little socks all over the place because she changes them about 4 times a day!
- Is pretty much toilet trained during the day - haven't even tried at night!
- She still wakes up early - 5:00 am early, but is better at just lying quietly in our bed

I wonder where she learned this???

And finally a little update on Abigail:

- she is now 4 1/2
- She will start school in September, and is pretty excited about it, especially taking a school bus
- She learned how to skate this year
- She loves to talk
- She loves her baby sister Madison, won't leave her alone really... !
- She whines - A LOT, but then when she chooses to be nice, she is beyond nice!
- She can make her bed neater than I can, I'm not sure how she does it... maybe she can teach me!
- She LOVES to wear dresses, the flowery the better!
- She loves to wear jewelery and have her nails painted

Her first "real" haircut!


Loves to paint!






Here she is saying what I say to them when I try to take a photo - it was priceless!


Gillian getting right into it!


Fell asleep watching the Olympics!


Can't get enough of Madison!

So that is my quick update, thing happen so fast and the girls change so much from day to day it's hard to keep track!! Hope to update more often, but we'll see - no promises. Bye for now!
