This could be the cutest chicken I have ever seen! Whitley always laughs when she sees the mirror reflection of herself in a hooded towel.

Imposter!

I turned around to pick up something Whitley dropped on the floor and wondered to myself...Who is this imposter in my baby's car seat??? She suddenly looked so much longer and older to me!

First Family Road Trip

We finally took a family road trip! I have traveled with Whitley to visit my sister in Central Arkansas, but we have never been on the road as a family until our trip to Kansas City. We had a great time!


We introduced Whitley to major league baseball. She received a certificate for attending her very first Royals game...can't you just see the excitement on her face?!

Whitley and daddy watching the game. She is rarely seen without her thumb in her mouth these days. That is going to be one tough habit to break!

Taking a break from the sun. It was 90+ degrees that day...pretty hard on a baby and pregnant momma!

Whitley was pretty wiped out after the trip! She rarely sleeps in the car.

Favorite foods

Whitley has definitely developed some food preferences in the recent days. She could pretty much live off crackers and fruit. Her favorite foods are...

• Blueberries (she consumes 2-3 crates a week by herself) and any other fruit
• Raisins
• Triscuits (although any cracker will work for her)
• Peas
• Larabars
• Kashi fruit bars
• Strawberry banana smoothies

A few new words...

Whitley has started saying some new words (other than momma and dadda):

• Baby (her favorite)
• Cracker AKA Cacker
• Three...only one time, but we still count it
• Hi, hey, and hello

Whitley is cutting more teeth!

Whitley has been walking around the house with empty sippy cups clamped between her teeth and no hands for support.

Practice with two kids

I watched Hudson for a full day. It was good practice for me trying to keep track of two kids. Putting Hudson down for a nap was a bit of a challenge at first. He was a bit fussy and kept looking at the door (waiting for Tara to come to his rescure, I'm sure). In the end, I was successful and he looked so adorable sleeping. I must say keeping Hudson for a day made me excited about having a boy.




Can I say again how much I love the alphabet train?! It made baby sitting so easy. They played and all I had to do was keep an eye on them.

The kids were good to this pregnant momma...they climbed the stairs so I didn't have to carry them.
