I hereby interrupt

My Christmas blogging to bring you and myself something other than Christmas blogging...because I want to and that.is.all. This is a serious hodgepodge of pics and videos, but I'm kinda OCD (shocking to those of you who know me) and I want things in chronological order so just go with me.

I haven't posted any videos in a while and I've got some good ones to share (or so says the Mom).

Here's my big girl riding her bike without training wheels for the first time on December 1st - oh how proud we are! She has been working on this for SO LONG and truthfully the key to success for her was simply watching the other kids in our neighborhood. Apparently a little peer pressure goes a LONG way which is good when we're talking about riding bikes and not so good when talking about pretty much anything else :/.


This video is hysterical...this was my Grandmama's popcorn popper and I got it out here recently after purchasing some popping corn at Trader Joes. My girls thought it was the best thing EVER! Seriously...just watch!

Every time I pop popcorn this way (which is most of the time lately) they want to watch - they LOVE it. To buy popcorn to pop is way cheaper and it's honestly way better popped this way (in my opinion) so we do this for snack a good bit.

 

Kennedy is such an amazing big sister. I can literally ask her for help 10 or more times a day and she never complains, she just says "sure Momma" and does what I've asked of her. I'm so thankful for her and all her help. As of late she will independently entertain Grey without me asking her to do so. The other night I was cooking dinner and he was fussing so she decided to put on a little show for him. So stinkin' cute. Avery decided she'd join in mid-way and even try to copy her big sister...so funny!

As much as I want to do for Grey what I've done for Kennedy and Avery, I feel myself failing at that daily. I just feel like every day is flying by at warp speed. I can't believe he'll be 5 months old tomorrow. I have yet to have professional pictures made of this poor little handsome one but I do take pics of him whenever I can! 

 Thank goodness we keep the camera nearby so we can capture moments like these:

 I'm not sure what these two are up to here but it's funny regardless.

They are forever making up games or random ways to play with things like their step stool for example:

 

or the cat bed...sigh

This sweet little handsome fella just watches them run around and he just grins and laughs.

Thank the good Lord above, we are getting a little more sleep around here...emphasis on the word little. We are trying really hard to create a predictable routine for Greyson so he knows when bedtime is coming. Here is Daddy reading his bedtime story to him:

This little peanut LOVES all things baby lately and here she is rocking hers to sleep:

These are just some random pics I took of my little man one night after thinking he looked mighty adorable in his cloth diaper.

 

My pet whisperer and two of her biggest fans:

 

Sweet little boy:

 

 

 

Mr. Potato head has been quite popular around here lately. Avery puts the pieces on herself about as much as she does the potato, but whatever...as long as she's happy, I'm happy.

and clearly - she's happy:
