So Much to Catch Up On!

We...are....still....here! Yep, my last post was Halloween, whoops! The days just don't seem long enough! As much as I love seeing everyone else's posts, those of you who seem to have found that extra hidden hour in the day, blogging has not made it to the top of my list in a while, beat out by dishes, laundry, "hold me's", feeding, cooking, working, sleeping (sporadic as it may be)...the norm. But every little task comes with an adorable little face I'm doing it for, so I can't complain;) Right now all of my loves are asleep so I can try to catch up on the last 3 months or so;)

Jack is growing so fast, changing more everyday! I gave him cereal for the first time at 5 months and he loved it! Shortly after he got baby food and he loves that even more!! I just recently made some homemade food for Jack and so far so good. Amelia would never eat baby food so I didn't have a chance to consider it, but I think we like it;)

We celebrated Thanksgiving with all of our family, here and in KY. Seems kind of a blur now ha ha!

All the great-grand babies (so far) on the Hughes side;)
getting into the Christmas spirit;)
cousin Alli had a Fancy Nancy birthday party-Amelia LOVED dressing up-no surprise!
Our big girl is so stinkin cute, alot of times sassy, and always entertaining! She loves to sing, never stops talking, hardly ever gets out of jammies, sometimes going through multiple pairs in a day, likes to make up stories for mommy and daddy, and most days wears atleast one if not multiple lip glosses. Somehow she started believing that there are "green monsters" in her bedroom, and only Daddy can get rid of them-no idea where that came from! She wants absolutely nothing to do with the potty, and even though I hear from everyone "don't rush her, she'll do it when she's ready", I am a little impatient. I can see that it's only for attention, she pretends to be a baby, asks for a diaper change when Jack gets one, wants me to feed her when I'm feeding Jack, and so on and so on! But I know that she knows how to do it! It will happen soon, I know!

Christmas with the Hughes family:)

Christmas at the Wolsiefer's
Jack is soooo precious! He is a snuggle-bug, is almost always smiling, and has the most contagious sweet laugh! He is super ticklish, which I abuse ALL THE TIME! He is really starting to play with toys, LOVES his sister, is trying to scoot, and loves splashing in the bathtub! I can already tell that he is going to keep us much more busy than Amelia did-she never splashed in the tub, she never threw toys or food off her high chair/walker, and he doesn't keep anything on there for 2 minutes! He drools constantly and just got his first two teeth a couple weeks ago! This little guy has his mommy wrapped around his finger, but with that face, come on!!

they love each other!
supporting the Colts!

getting a little time outside with her baby;)
big guy sitting up!
snow days;)
Amelia had gone to play at gymnastics a couple times now and loves it! It's not a class, but a few days where they can go and play on everything. I see some gymnastics classes in her future:)
That just about sums up what we've been doing. Throw in ALOT of hugs, kisses, snuggles, cartoons, fits, spit up, giggles, and you've got our crazy family on any normal day;) Everyone have a Happy Valentine's Day!
