Perry is 5 months!

Happy 5 months to our sweet baby girl!

How is it possible that Perry is already 5 months old?!  I cannot even remember our life before her.  She is the best!



Perry's feet are constantly kicking (if they aren't in her hands or mouth)!  She is definitely a mover and a shaker, our little wiggle worm.

When rocking her to sleep, Perry's little top arm just flails all about!  I know when she is asleep when her arm stops moving.  It is so cute.  We have been scratched and slapped in the face so many times - totally worth it. :)



She started blowing raspberries, and it is just about the cutest thing ever.  She focuses so hard, furrowing her brows, and sometimes her face turns red because she is blowing so hard.  I love watching her discover new tricks!

She has become a side sleeper, and sometimes a tummy sleeper.  She immediately rolls to her side when we lay her in her crib.  It's adorable!

We love her little smile when we get her after she wakes up in the mornings or from a nap.  She is SO happy to see us!


Perry likes to grab our faces and hands.  She is fascinated by them.  She is rolling over both ways, and now we cannot leave her alone for more than 5 seconds or she will be on the other side of the room!

Perry is, and always has been, extremely observant of her surroundings, and I love watching her take it all in!



Eating and sleeping:  Perry is still on her reflux medicine and eats about every 3-3.5 hours.  Her day starts between 6:30 and 7, and she goes to bed around 7:30 most nights.  She is taking much shorter naps lately (unless we hold her to "finish" her nap), and her nighttime sleep is all over the place.  Some nights she sleeps all the way through the night for 11 hours straight, and other nights she wakes up 10 times.  We have decided to embrace the rough nights because she is only little once.  John said he likes going in there in the middle of the night because then he knows she is ok - and it melted my heart. :)



It is an absolute JOY to be your parents, Perry Frances!  We love you!

Thanksgiving break picture post

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week!  John's family came to stay with us for the week, and we had such a great time.  We celebrated a baptism (see previous post), we went to Zoo Lights, some of us went to College Station for the LSU/A&M football game, some of us celebrated Thanksgiving at Mumsie and Popsie's, we celebrated John's 31st birthday, and we did a lot of lounging around.  Here are some photos from our fun week!

Every year, we take a picture of the LSU boys with their Aggie girls at the rivalry game.  They still took the pic this year even though I couldn't make it. :)

We went to Karbach Brewery for John's birthday with both sides of the family:

Nothing beats spending time with family!!

Baptism

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

Perry Frances was baptized on November 20th, 2016 at The Journey, Memorial Drive United Methodist Church.  It was an incredibly special day as we dedicated our baby girl to the Lord and ourselves to raise her in the Church.  It is overwhelming to think that God trusted us to be her parents!  We are so thankful for her!

Both sides of Perry's family were there, which made the day extra special!  John's parents and Peter, my mom and dad, Brittany, Chris, Reid, Georgia Kate, and Rhett were all in attendance (Joe and Thomas weren't able to make it).






Rev. Daniel Irving
 








My mom made her beautiful dress.  I love my baby girl in blue!  Here is a closer look.


God bless you, Perry Frances!!!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween has never been our favorite holiday around here, but having Perry makes everything more fun!!  Perry dressed up as a bunny rabbit, thanks to her cousin Georgia Kate.  I love having all of Peach's cute hand-me-downs.  That is definitely a perk of being the second child to have kids. :)

We went to the Sciba's house for a little while on Halloween night.  Reid, Georgia Kate, Rhett, and their friends went trick-or-treating, while we stayed back at the house and passed out candy with the grandparents, Sharon, and Tiffany.  It was a wonderful first Halloween for Pear Bear!!
 




This picture makes me laugh because GK is like, "I'm over this, so I'm going to close my eyes so people will stop looking at me."


Here is Perry in her Halloween jammies and bib from Grandma and Grandpa!


 We love our sweet little bunny!
