Remi Coon!

Oh Remi! Where do I ever being with you? ;)
This little girl has me and Eli laughing so hard that our stomachs hurt...every single day!
Here are some of her funnies of the month ;)

We were on our way into town when Remington saw a cop.
She said "Mom, cops will take you to jail, put you in the oven, and eat you all up! Daddy told me that!" 
She has also become quite the back seat driver, and she tells me to slow down and be careful the entire time we are in the car, ha ha!



When I am cooking and go to put something in the oven, she warns me to be careful because the oven is hot and it will burn me. She is so sweet :) 
She also said this the other day when I got her up in the morning...
"Mommy, you are the best mom in the whole world forever. And I love dad and I love Brixton."
I love these special moments so much. She is constantly telling me that she misses me and loves me. I am so lucky! 



We had a fun FHE lesson last week. I printed out pictures of eyes, mouth, hands, ears, etc. 
I had her pull one out of the bag and point to that body part. Then I held up a picture of Jesus and had her point it out on him. We explained to her that Jesus is a real person that is always there for us.
She grabbed the picture of Christ and hugged it so tight. She said "Mommy, can I hold him for a really long time? Can I take it to my bed?"

I got so teary eyed, and feel like I actually learned more that FHE than Remi did. She continually teaches me everyday!
Another thing with the picture of Jesus....We were having one of those hard days where there are endless tantrums and cries. She refused to dance at her dance class and just screamed for an hour straight. We came home from dance and I laid her down for a nap. I went up to check on her and saw her out of her bed. I was a little upset, but before I could say anything, I saw the picture of Jesus and then another one( a little girl praying) laid out on her pillow. She also had the picture frame of the temple sitting on her bedside stool. 
My heart just melted. I could not be upset at this sweet little girl. She doesn't mean to have bad days and the lord has trusted me with her. I should always remember him and have him close to me, just like Remi has been doing. 







Remi is an amazing big sister. She wants to hold her all the time. 
If I have to run out of the room for a second, Remi says "I will babysitt her mommy!" haha!
The other day, I had just got out of the shower. Brixton had woken up from her nap, and so while I was getting dressed, I heard Remi
"Brixton, sh sh sh....I am right here, you don't need to be sad."
I looked in and she was holding Brixton's hand and had given her her binky.
<3


She is so silly and full of life! I love her funny sense of humor and little giggle! 
She loves to make up songs on her play guitar and she has quite the voice for a 2 year old!



She absolutely loves her puppy, Milly, and had been learning to feed her and brush her hair.
She also loves to dress up! Notice the tiara in this picture!



Remi helps me all the time. Dishes, sweeping, wiping the table, you name it!
She also loves to help me cook and bake still.
Her favorite toys right now would have to be her barbies and purses.
She is very into putting things in purses or backpacks, and hauling them around where ever she goes.
She has also loved coloring more than ever and can draw circles very well! 

She can now count to 10...but misses the 4! We are working on that one ;)
We are officially potty trained during the day. We go to dance, run errands, church, and she has only had a couple of accidents!
We are working on night time. :)

Did some dishes by herself!

She sure loves her sister! They will be the best of friends, I just know it!


 I love my little sidekick!! Remi is so sweet sensitive, smart, caring, funny, and beautiful!
I am so blessed to be her mom. I have had so much fun watching her grow. I love this stage we are in right now (Isay that with each stage!) She has one of the best memories I ahve ever seen. If you tell her something, she won't let you forget it!

It is really so good to have someone to talk to all day. She talks so well, I feel like I am having some adult convo sometimes! ;)

Love you bug!!!

Brixton is 5 MONTHS OLD

This little sweetie turned 5 months old on November 9th!


She is such a joy to our family. I don't even know what we would all 
do without her sweet personality! 

Lately she has become quite the mama's girl. I can't complain!
She loves to take her naps in my arms most of the time, and wants to be held constantly. 
I love it because Remi didn't love to be cuddled this much when she was this age, so I am soaking it all in as much as I can.

This past month, Brixton has learned a ton of new things!
She is getting really good at sitting up by herself for short periods of time. She doesn't need my help much! She rolled over for the first time just a couple of days from being 5 months. Eli had her on her tummy on our bed and she rolled right over! 
She has been doing this squeal type of cry, almost a shriek lol. Especially when I say the word "ba ba" and show her her bottle.

She freaks out and starts crying and starts reaching for the bottle. She puts her arms and legs out straight and grabs it. She can pull it to her mouth and hold it for a little bit by herself!
She is still really good at grabbing toys, my hair, pretty much anything she sees and putting it straight in her mouth!

She still loves to lay under her toys and sit in her excer saucer!
She loves to play toys and read books with me and Remington as well.
She is starting to jabber a lot now. She sits and blows bubbles for long periods of time, it's so cute.
When ever Remi walks up to her, she gets happy immediately! Or when Eli gets home from work she gets excited when she hears his voice. Yesterday, he sat down by her and she reached both hands and touched his face and smiled. Ahh it melted my heart! ( my girls have the BEST dad BTW...:))

She is laughing so much lately as well! She laughs hard when Remi dances in front of her or jumps around. She finds it quite hilarious! 
Yesterday, Barney our dog, was licking her hands and face and she was laughing a hard little belly laugh! So cute. 
She is still eating every 2 hours. About 4 ounces. Sometimes she only goes 1 1/2 hours, and we are really pushing it if she goes 2 1/2 or 3 ha, ha! 
She eats rice cereal twice a day as well. 
She sleeps from about 7:30- 6:30. She hardly wakes up to eat anymore.

Brixton is such a sweet little spirit. I love seeing her experience new things each day. She is growing and learning so fast, I am not ready for it! I want her to stay my baby...
But as I have seen with Remi, it goes by WAY too fast and before you know it they are almost 3.
I am soaking up each and every moment, every cuddle, giggle, cry, and smile that I can.

Love you Miss Brixton! So thankful you are in my life and I can be your mommy!

This was my sweater when I was a baby :)
