Elise Claire- 4 Months

June 26, 2019

Elise, either I am getting better at this Mom of 2 thing or it’s just a fluke, but I am officially less than a week late on your 4 month update, so I am calling that a win!

  • Age- 4 months
  • Weight- 9 lb 13.5 oz, still itty bitty and pretty, but you fell off the weight curve. Hal was 10lb 2 oz.
  • Length- 23 in long.  Same as sister at this age
  • Size- We are doing a mix of newborns and 3 mo clothes. Most 3 month is still big other than pajamas.  We are moving to size 1 diapers out of convenience because we had some from the baby shower, though you still fit well in the Newborn diapers.  Our plan is to start diaper delivery once we run out of the ones we have.  Anyone try Hello Bello diapers? That’s what our plan is.
  • Eyes- The jury is still out! They appear a gray blue, though I am not holding my breath for a blue eyed girl. Hallie’s stayed blue for so long and they eventually turned dark. Though her Memi thinks they might be green, which I would love!
  • Hair- Light brown, and getting lighter.  Especially her eyebrows.  Much lighter than sisters at this age.  She also has much less of it.  She still has a huge bald spot. Enter bows!
  • Sleeping- She is still sleeping great this month. Usually 9pm-7-7:30 am.
  • Eating- We started supplementing with formula this week per the doctors request.  We are hoping to bulk her up some.  She usually takes about 4-5 oz every 3 hours.
  • Milestones- Rolls both directions this month and is a supported sitter.  She loves playing with and chewing on toys.
  • Memorable outings- Sister’s 5th birthday celebrations! Karley’s engagement party.  Father’s day.
  • Favorite toys/activities- She enjoys tummy time, ceiling fans, mirrors, playing with sister, her turtle toy and pulling hair, people’s clothes and mommy’s necklace. She is also going to be a blankie kid.  She loves snuggling her blankets.  I have to be so careful to remove them when she falls asleep! She also loves being snuggled, hugged and kissed! She loves reading and when anyone sings to her too!

Elise you are so cuddly and sweet! Your love for your family and close friends makes your momma swoon! You have the best giggles and give the best snuggles.  We are so thankful for you!

Hallie’s Birthday Wish List

June 14, 2019

I can’t believe we are a week away from our first baby turning the big 5! Hallie is so excited to celebrate her birthday! I thought it would be fun to share our big 5 year old girl’s wish list.

The big thing she asked for was a backpack and lunchbox for kindergarten, which I know her grandparents already snagged! Here’s the one she had her eye on.  Of course, purple! Its on a super sale right now, so definitely worth a looksy!

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9

It’s funny to me that Hallie asks for clothes! She is a total girl! She especially loves clothes that she can match Elise in! The sweet PJs and ice cream dress for instance!

Hallie also loves building, dressing up and creating art! She is at such a fun age!  Her biggest interest by far however is animals! Her amazing Godfather snagged her this Wild Kratts game and she is going to go BANANAS!  Because as she says, “I am into Zoology!”

The rest of her wish list is on Amazon. Check it out here!

Add-A-Pearl

June 11, 2019

This post is sponsored by: Add-A-Pearl.  We were given a free product in exchange for an honest review.  All Thoughts are our own.

Hallie’s birthday is approaching FAST! My sweet girl was born almost 5 years ago, and this Momma is dumbfounded with how quickly time has passed! Being a June birthday, Hallie’s birthstone is a pearl.  We were so thrilled when Add-A-Pearl sent us a little early birthday present for Hallie.

Add-A-Pearl is a company that offers a tradition in the making.  To start the process, you can choose either a 14K yellow Gold, 14K White Gold or Sterling Silver Chain, and choose the number of pearls you wish to begin with. 

I love how customizable these products are. You can personalize them by adding a name or special date on a charm, which is a perfect option for engraving wedding dates or baby names. Another option for creating an elegant look is to add a fancy clasp. There are some really beautiful options that will enhance the look of your pearls. Your necklace can be sent back at any time to add more pearls or any of these improvements, just by following these easy steps.

We received a White Gold necklace and it is stunning.  The quality is impeccable and will be the perfect necklace to collect special memories with that will last forever.  Hallie was so happy to receive such a special gift and wants to wear her necklace every day!

Add-A-Pearl is the perfect gift for so many occasions. I can just see us adding pearls to Hallie’s necklace on various special moments such as her First Communion, Graduations, Recitals, etc.  Then Hallie can wear that same sweet necklace full of memories on her Wedding Day, and even possibly pass it on to her daughter one day. (Cue the tears!)

The occasions to add pearls are endless.  It would be a sweet baby gift as well, adding pearls for each year until the child has a beautiful string of pearls.  I am looking forward to making more memories with Hallie and continuing the tradition by adding a pearl to her necklace for each one.

Elise Claire- 3 Months

June 5, 2019

Elise Claire, you poor second child you. Yes it’s been about 2 weeks since you turned 3 months and I am just now writing your update. The end of preschool, beginning of Summer, etc has kept me on my toes!

For fun here’s a little comparison from 1-3 months.

And now without further ado, here’s a little about our smallest girl:

  • Age- 3 months…and then some
  • Weight- 9 lb even. She is officially tinier than big sister was!
  • Length- We didn’t check height at the last apt.
  • Size- We are still in newborn diapers and mostly newborn onesies.  Though we have graduated to 3 month pajamas and some onesies/pants though they are still a bit big we need them for length.
  • Eyes- The jury is still out! They appear a gray blue, though I am not holding my breath for a blue eyed girl. Hallie’s stayed blue for so long and they eventually turned dark.
  • Hair- Light brown.  Much lighter than sisters at this age.  She also has much less of it.  It’s even starting to rub off in the back giving her a huge bald spot. Enter bows!
  • Sleeping- This month was a nice turn in the sleep department.  I usually put her down around 9 and she will sleep until about 7! 10 hours! Wahoo!!
  • Eating- She is eating every 3 hours except in the night. I am trying to push 4 at each feeding to help her gain some weight.  I am still exclusively pumping which is a labor of love my friends!
  • Milestones- Batting at toys. Giving the sweetest giggles and smiles.   She holds her head up for a long time during tummy time and still rolling belly to back and can almost roll back to front.  Recognizes Mommy, Daddy and Sister.  Definitely has her preferences.
  • Memorable outings- No special outings this month.
  • Favorite toys/activities- She enjoys tummy time, ceiling fans, mirrors, playing with sister, her turtle toy and pulling hair, people’s clothes and mommy’s necklace. She is also going to be a blankie kid.  She loves snuggling her blankets.  I have to be so careful to remove them when she falls asleep! She also loves being snuggled, hugged and kissed!

Elise you have the sweetest demeanor! You are a happy girl who loves being cuddled and kissed! You love your family and are definitely a Mommy’s girl. We love you so and are sure enjoying watching you grow…just slow it down okay?
