Living, Laughing, and Loving LIFE!
Brecken loves her little sister...especially when she is naked. She loves the feel of her soft skin and of course Baylen loves the attention.
Well I can't believe that it has already been a month and time for me to update the blog again. Time is just flying by and as you can see the girls are growing so fast. We have had some beautiful weather here lately and we are enjoying that. We took the girls to the pumpkin patch and to a local church to for "Trunk or Treat." There were a bunch of games and lots of candy. Brecken got to enjoy an oversized sucker...oh yeah! Stained the lips cherry red and she loved it!! I didn't get any pics of the girls in their costumes, but will be sure to post them when I do. The girls will be going to a Halloween party this weekend...Brecken is a biker babe and Baylen is a bumble bee! I will post the pics as soon as I get them cause they're just too cute!
John is approaching the end of his training and will be flying his cross country this coming weekend. We were hoping that he was going to be able to go to Iowa and do landings in Boone, but it turns out that it will not work. What a bummer! We are not sure where he will get to go...we will wait and see. He should complete his training in about three weeks. He will graduate in December and we will wait around here until we get our official orders to Oklahoma, which should be the beginning of January. When he is not busy flying he is busy loving on his little girls and me of course. What an amazing daddy he is and it is a joy for me to watch those three together. YHWH gave those girls the perfect daddy...and the girls agree.
I just began to celebrate the beginning of my 29th year of life and I must say it is the best year...so far! John got me a MacBook Pro laptop for my birthday and I love it!! He got it all set up for me and left for work and when I sat down to play with it a blank page was opened up and said "Tami's Story." So yes I have begun writing my first children's story and I am about 1/4 of the way done with it. It is really exciting and I am thankful that I have a husband that pushes me to use my gifts. So aside from writing, meeting with the mom's group, cooking, cleaning, book club, and of course taking care of my girls, I am one busy lady. I love every minute of it!!!!
Brecken is turning into such a big girl. She loves to do "fist explosions" and while Grandpa Marv was down here he taught her how to do "chest bumps." So needless to say every once in a while she gives "chest bumps" to our sofa, rocking chair, and coffee table. She has learned how to say, "You are beautiful," in sign language, which always melts my heart. She is learning more and more words everyday and loves to be outside. Her favorite toys are still rocks and sticks. She is so athletic and strong and definitely part fish like most of the Wittrock family. She is a great big sister and is constantly entertaining Baylen! I am working with her to teach her "diaper" and "bottle." She usually just gives me a funny look...ha!
Baylen Grace has changed so much that she doesn't even seem like them same little girl that was born five months ago. She is now sitting up by herself and grabs anything and everything within an arms reach. Yes, my eyes have even watered a few times as she loves to grab the hair at the top of my neck. She has started eating cereal and she loves it. Sometimes I can't get it in her mouth fast enough and boy let me tell you, she will let me know! She is so facinated with Brecken as you can guess and has one eye on her every chance she gets. Sometimes it is a challenge to feed her a bottle when Brecken is around. She takes two sips then spring up to check on Brecken. Two sips, springs, two sips, springs...I think you get the picture. She is a great joy to us and always makes us smile!!
John and I are still planning on taking a trip to Oklahoma in three week to go house hunting...very exciting! We have been looking on the internet the last couple of months and now have about 20 properties to view. Needless to say we will be busy. The girls will be busy also with Grandma Barbie and Aunt Julie! We will keep you informed with how the trip goes. Hope everyone is well...we miss you all!!!
Pictures of the sweet girls...
What a trio...all bundled up to go outside and see the first big puddles we have had here in Texas. We all love sweatshirt weather!!
Here is a great example of what most of my pictures look like. Baylen is always moving so most of my pictures of her are blurry. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Miss Brecken loves to play with play-doh. Oh you mean you don't see any on her tray. That is cause her idea of playing is "throw it on the ground and have someone else pick it up."
Baylen has just started eating cereal and loves it. Her second time eating cereal she was slirpping it off the spoon.
Grandma Barbie is so much fun...and I think Brecken tends to egg her on a little bit too!
Yummy, yum, yum. It seems like most pictures I take of her she is eating. I love my little "Tatonka." For those of you who have not watched "Dances with Wolves," it means buffalo.
Loving he Texas fall weather. Just catching some air and a few rays with Grandpa and Grandma while they were here visiting.
Brecken is not the only one who likes babies. Baylen plays with anything she can get her hands on. That is why I have not opened my jewelry box in a month :(
Brecken got a new ball pit for her playroom and loves it. I was so excited to get it for her until I came home from the gym one day to see all 175 balls no longer in the ball pit...ha!
Baylen is pretty hot stuff sitting in her sister's seat. She is growing up soooo fast!
Little Brecken playing with her play-doh before she figured out how much fun throwing it on the floor can be.
Laughter is the best medicine...be careful you just might overdose!!
Brecken never ceases to make us laugh...here she thought it would be fun to sit in Baylen's jumper and by the looks of it, it was!!
Just a little sneak peek of daddy playing "Who's got the Play-doh?" with Brecken. Would you believe her hair was in perfect little pig tails only minutes ago?
Miss Baylen is such a happy little girl and makes my cheeks hurt all the time from smiling. Here she is sitting up and just waking up from a nap...she is so sweet!
