FINALLY I Got A Chance To Meet The Baby Babies

And what a pleasure it was! I couldn't be happier to be holding and loving these 2 adorably perfect Baby babies!
2 babies = 2 swings
Meet Sienna Elizabeth
& Sullivan Ford
2 carseats, coordinating bundle-me's and hats
Double stroller comin' thru
Double the bottle feeding which mother-of-the-year Alexis certainly has down...check out those mad skills!
Double the fun, happiness and bliss seeing one of your best friend's in such a great place in life!

Mealtime Milestone

Lane came over yesterday to play with Kellan and she kept asking, "Does Kellan know how to use a fork?" I said no, but realized i've really never given him the opportunity so this morning for breakfast I gave him a baby fork to eat BB's delic pancakes with and he DID IT! So Laney, I stand corrected, Kellan DOES know how to use a fork. What a big boy milestone. I will post a video as soon as i can grab the magic on film!

Miami Phi Delt Cleveland Party At Vaughan's

Stacey & Erik so generously opened up their gorgeous home for a little PDT family gathering. I think all in all there was an impressive tally of 12 kiddos at 4 and under!
They were all surprisingly well behaved and had a blast playing together.
As luck would have it, for us Cali folks that is, the skies opened up and painted a winter wonderland.
Kellan was enthralled by the flakes and continually asked to go back outside to take it all in and catch snowflakes on his tongue with daddy! Guess you can take the boy out of the midwest but not the midwest out of the boy :)

Cutest Ever Bath Shots

Cutest baby bath pix for now = great blackmail pix in the future!



Cousin Lily Bean

I mean is she cute or what?!
Lily Bean finally has enough hair to rock a bow! Too cute!

Pap Pap's Retirement Dinner

The whole family went out to dinner to celebrate Pap Pap's retirement. What a special evening. We're all so proud of him!
Pap Pap blowing out the candles with the help of Lily & Kellan
The whole crew - what a cute shot!
Cake time.....after what turned into a lovely but long, albeit perfectly retirement speed, 4 hour dinner it was time for cake and the kiddos were a tad delirious at this point...
as the slice of cake turned from a finishing sweet into a master art project and a royal mess! ha!

Over The River & Through The Woods....

to Grammy's and Pap Pap's we go!
Lily watching Super Why on her trusty steed
Everyone wakes up to Pap Pap's famous waffles!
YUMMY!!!! Even Maxi wanted IN on the action incase Kellan dropped a crumb.
non? I have a reliable backup in Lily-Bean!
Hilarious - apparently the waffles were temperate by the time Lily sat down so she took matters into her own hands and recrisped the belgian delicatessan herself!
Must round out the meal with a mimosa, ok fine, just OJ!

And top it all off with story time with Aunt Lauren. What a great morning!
