Tie-Die Scrunchie
Addison had a bottle yesterday around 5pm. We tried to feed her again around 8pm, but she didn’t really want to eat. We got her to sleep around 9:30-ish, and then she slept all through the night, and didn’t eat again until 5:30am! I was shocked! And then she ate 4oz when she typically eats only 3oz, so she did great! Then both girls cuddled up under one blanket this morning before getting ready for school.

Filet Mignon & Rooftop Views
It’s almost 10pm now, and we’ve had a big, long, great, busy day. But since it’s late, I’m gonna push this out as quickly as possible. For most of the day, we just stayed home doing chores, and playing, and mowing the yard, and so forth and so on…

Baby’s First Bathtub Bath
The color of the week at school this week was orange, so today was “wear orange” day. They put up the signs about it last week, so Emmie and I started talking about it last Friday. I told her I knew Addison didn’t have an orange shirt, and I was pretty sure that she didn’t either, but that we could look. But then she was like, “Mommy, we have those pink shirts with oranges on them!” She remembered them from when we bought them a month or so ago, but hadn’t worn them yet. And of course that was a great idea, and I was so proud of her for coming up with that idea all on her own. It was perfect, and they looked absolutely adorable today!

Peanuts & Praise Team
My two beautiful, blue-eyed girls, both wide-eyed and ready for another day at school! Emerson was actually dying to go to school this morning. We had gotten ready a little bit early today, and were just killing time before we had to leave home, and she was whining like, “Can we pleeeeease go to school now?!” I love that she loves her school! Today was Junior Gym day though, so I’m sure that had something to do with it!

A Full Night of Sleep
Y’all, we had such a great night last night! Addie finished her last bottle around 7pm, Jeff held her for a long time, and then I swaddled her and laid her in the Boppy at 8pm. I washed dishes while she just stared around the room, and she fell asleep at 8:30pm. I relocated her to her bassinet in our bedroom around 10:30, and girlfriend slept allllll through the night, until I finally got her up at 6:15am. And even then she was just lightly stirring and not even fully awake yet. That’s the longest she’s gone between bottles and her first true overnight sleep, and I was SO PROUD of her! She ate really well, and then fell back asleep again, until we got to her classroom.
So we were all up and at ’em happily and easily this morning!

Cash Register
Another Monday, another day back at school. You can’t tell because Addie is all covered up, but both girls wore lemon outfits today. I can’t wait to dress my girls in matching clothes all the time now!!

Church, Bike Rides & Tacos
Today was my first day back at church since Addison was born, and Addie’s first day at church ever! Emerson wore a new birthday dress from Grammy, and insisted on wearing her unicorn headband again, and why not!?

Emerson’s 4th Birthday Pool Party
Today was a great, but exhausting day, and this Mama is tired. We had Emerson’s 4th birthday party out at my parents’ house, because Emmie wanted a pool party! A unicorn-themed birthday party! And have you ever seen a more excited and adorable four-year-old unicorn birthday girl!?

Four Years Old
My best big girl Emerson is four years old today! It really doesn’t feel possible, and these past four years have flown by way too fast. I can’t believe it!

Fruits & Veggies
Emerson loves picking these flower-weeds to bring to her teachers every morning, like the sweetheart she is.

Little Sweetheart
Emerson is just the proudest big sister you’ve ever seen, to take her baby sister to school in the mornings. It’s so sweet and precious!

Addie Starts School
After the shortest eight weeks of my life, Addison started school today, and I had to go back to work. Honestly, my two months of maternity leave flew by way too fast, and I was of course not ready to go back to work. But is any new mom ever really ready for that?! Emerson was super excited to have Addison join her at school today, and was making up cute little songs and singing to her on the couch before we left for school. Even though I’ll be doing all the drop-off’s, I made Jeff follow us to school today so we could all go as a family on Addie’s first day. I thought it would be tough (on me!), but I did great, and didn’t even cry! And Addie also did great!

July 4th Pullen Vacay in PCB
Hi friends, I’m back after a few days of vacation at the beach with the family. And of course it was super fun, but I’m exhausted! I have tons of photos to share (obviously), and it’s late I have some stuff to do tonight still, so this is mostly a photo dump post, with little writing…
SATURDAY
Got up and dressed and loaded the car, and hit the road. We had to stop halfway to feed Addie a bottle, but the drive was easy and relatively quick.

Shots & Ringlets
I love when she first gets released from her swaddle early in the morning, but then she falls back to sleep with her arms up in the air like this.

Postpartum Glucose Test
My big girl was in a good mod as usual, but tried to tell me she couldn’t wear her little biker shorts under her dress today because they were “too snug.” I told her that’s how they were supposed to be, and although she still wasn’t thrilled with it, she did keep them on 🙂

Cold Brew
Early yesterday morning, I set up our carafe to have cold brew today, since it takes 24 hours to “brew.” We did this a lot last summer when we were both working from home, but it takes planning ahead an entire day, and we often forget, so this is the first time we’ve done it in quite a long time. But since we remembered to do it yesterday, today, we added the Splenda and hazelnut creamer directly to the carafe, and it was delicious!
