Day 6 of clothes and chatter

Today was a girl's day out/boy's day in Saturday for us!
Ava and I went to the mall and to target to pick up last minute items for Disney World.
I needed some sunglasses and shoes while Ava "needed" the Rapunzel wedding dress.
Ava had so much fun trying on sunglasses with me in Claire's.



We left Claire's and went to Sunglass Hut and Ava thought she could handle the Prada and Tory Burch sunglasses just as she was with the Claire's glasses. Cue anxiety attack! I did find some Tory Burch ones I LOVED but opted for some DG's.
Ava wore her cute Target tulle dresses shirt with her Gap grey leopard skinnies. She is SO not liking the skinnies bc it gives her a serious case of the plumber's crack.
I feel your pain, Ava. You are my child!
Judd was dressed by Daddy today and check him out...



Super stud! Daddy did well. He is wearing his Baby Boden plaid flannel pants and mustard striped tee. How Aaron knew they went together is beyond me!



It was super cold today! He was checking out the pumpkins Ava brought home for the both of them.

And here is my sweet boy right before bed.




Hope you all had a nice Saturday!

Clothes and Chatter Day 5

Today we were looking pretty festive in our fall SheShe Made!



I know, right? They are way too close to each other!
What can I say? Judd prefer's his personal space.
Exhibit A....


They got tons of compliments on their clothes today and like always, I just said "thanks" and never elaborated on where I "got" them. I just can't go there. It's too embarrassing for me. I would be a HORRIBLE sales person!



Judd was watching a car come down the street. The sound kind of makes him anxious. He is such a cautious little guy!

And here they are right before bedtime in their "bones" pajamas from The Gap.



I wish they made these for adults as well! Would be fun to wear as a family.

As for a funny line from Miss Ava today...I have several. She was in typical Ava form for sure! But the thing that stands out the most is on our drive home from school she said "Mom I cannot WAIT until I'm 45 and you are a little girl. It's gonna be cool. But I will be a little sad because you won't be my big mom any more."
She was turning around my line I use on her very often of "I'm so sad because you aren't my little baby any more." Ahhhh that girl thinks up some funny things in her little mind!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

31 days Day 4 of clothes & chatter

Ava had school again today so we decided to wear Halloween colors.



Black gingham ruffle shorts, her "inmate orange" uniform shirt, Halloween bow and black sparkly Mary Jane TOMS.
I took this picture after school so she was a little roughed up by that time.
Judd wore his SheShe pumpkin bloomer set. His mom has an addiction to bloomer sets. We are wearing them as long as possible, much like bubbles.



He is such a smoochy little pumpkin too! Those leg creases? I could eat them up!



I'm too tired to recall any funny chatter today. Judd has been regressing with his naps which means I get to work longer at night. Ahhhh!

Ava has picture day tomorrow at museum school and I know exactly what I want her to wear. Stay tuned!

Clothes and Chatter Day 3

Today was a fairly low key day, as most Wednesdays are. It's typically our one day of the week that we have no place to be. I decided to take the kids to see Aaron's parents after Judd woke up at 9:30 from his morning nap. Am I the only one who escapes the house if I know it's going to be a long wakeful period??
On our way to Pappy and May's house Ava asked if I was going to drop her off and go bye-bye. I informed her that would not be happening as May had a dr appt so we could only visit for an hour. Without missing a beat she let's me know that she is unhappy with this plan and she "does not want to go see Pappy and May because visiting for just an hour will just make me miss them way too much!" Little smarty pants was trying really hard to get to stay the night with them.

I picked out a cute Matilda Jane set for Ava to wear but she wasn't having it today.
Her pick?



This bugly Target dress. Why is it that she always likes the one piece of clothing that I dislike the most? Anyway, I had her wear the ruffled tights to try and make it as cute as it possibly could be. Ha! She was rocking the outfit with that side pony and those sunglasses though, wasn't she? Oh! And I just realized homegirl is wearing my bracelet. Nice.

As for Judd, luckily he has no choice for his attire. And today he was looking pretty sweet in his Zackali hand knit sweater romper.



He has three of these rompers and I absolutely am obsessed with them! Perfect for the weather we are having lately, too!

This afternoon Ava had her friend Lily come over and it was all about the princess wear.



I will most likely cry my eyes out the day she decides she is too big to play dress up and have tea parties.

Day 2 of Clothes and Chatter

Today was a school day for Ava. She has to wear the heinous tshirts y'all, and it's always a challenge for me to dress them up cute. But a challenge I am all over! Here she is today as we were about to walk out the door.




And Judd is dressed up today to go to....wait for it...Hobby Lobby! Ha! I totally should've waited to bust out this pumpkin bubble but I couldn't stand it. He will be wearing this as many days as possible this month bc I'm afraid this will be his last month of bubbles. Tragedy!




Funny chatter from today: We finished this 300 piece puzzle that we've been working on every night since Saturday. But while we were working it, I told Ava to scoot over because she was on top of me. She says "You scoot over, you nerd!"
Ok. Nerd? That's a new one. And isn't she supposed to wait until at least 3rd grade to call her mom a nerd?!

31 days of Clothes and Chatter

So all across my parts of the internets my "friends" are linking up and doing this cool thing where they blog about a specific topic for the entire 31 days of October. As much as I'd love to participate in the link up and actually blog about something of real substance that's deep or heartfelt, October is just a crazy month for my family. And let's face it, blogging is not something I do on a weekly basis even as it is.
With that said, I thought it would be a fun month to *try* and blog daily snip its of our life, even if it's a rather shallow topic I choose. So, I'm going to attempt to log in once a day and share.....
"clothes and chatter" from the little people I love the most.

Our month is full of fall festivities, Disney World, and Judd's first birthday so I know there will be at least a few days of fun outfits I'd love to keep record of. And Ava and Judd are at such a fun and unique stage that I'd also like to jot down anything funny/interesting I hear/see them do for the day.
So that's that.
Now, you guys just have to keep me motivated to blog daily. If it happens and I'm successful, we just may see the heavens part on day 32. You never know!

Day One: Frankie Guy and Frankie Girl. (sorry they are such bad quality pics)












Posting these pictures reminded me to go Shout the bad boys because we ate spaghetti and pizza for lunch. Momma's shallow heart can't handle stained Halloween clothing this early in the game.

Funny chatter: Ava tells me "Mom, I really like to tell you when I toot." Me: "Ava that is very strange." Ava: "But it makes me laugh when you always say 'Thanks for sharing, Ava.' "

Yes, we are in the lovely stage of being obsessed with bodily functions and toot noises. It's driving me nuts.

Ahhh. So there is day one down. Happy October 1st!!

Judd {10 months}

 

 

double digits!

I want to curl up in the fetal position and cry, Juddskey.

You are pretty much grown. And it's breaking my heart.

 

STATS

Weight: 26 lbs

Height: 31 inches

(98% for both)

Wears 18 months clothes

Size 4 diaper

Takes 4 bottles a day, 8 ounces at a time

Eats 3 meals a day and an afternoon snack after nap

Sleeps from 7pm-7am

Naps 2 times a day for two hours or more

 

 

You have 5 teeth and are cutting your 6th tooth. It makes for one FUSSY BABY especially in the afternoon/evenings for some reason.

 

What are you up to this tenth month?

This month has been my absolute favorite so far. Do I say that every month? I'm pretty sure I do. Each month just gets better and better with you! You got tubes in your ears a few weeks ago and the difference we see in you is remarkable, buddy!

You are now saying the following words:

bye bye

yay

mama

da da

ya ya (Ava)

ball

shoo eee (when I change your diaper)

"unt unt" (my version of no no)

Let me explain the last word. Whenever you are doing something naughty I say "unt unt" in a growling voice to you. One day I caught you taking all the fabric scraps off the shelves in my work room and I said "unt unt" and you proceeded to pull them down while saying "unt unt" with each handful. Little stinker!! So now you will say "unt unt" when I say it first.

 

You are stanging up and getting to a standing position from sitting. You want to walk but you aren't quite sure how to put one foot in front of the other. Today I saw you stand up and then do some sort of gallop before falling. I am SO GLAD I got to witness that sight because it was the most hilarious thing I've ever seen you do. You were so proud of your move too. Or maybe you were just laughing with me?

You absolutely love being outside. As soon as anyone opens the frotn door you make a mad dash for it.

 

You started music together at TCU this month and you LOVE it! Your favorite song is "Where is the Beehive?" and if I need you to be still for a few seconds this is always my go-to song. I can sing it 10 times in a row and you never get tired of hearing it. The end of the song I tickle you while making the "buzzzzzzz" noise and you get SO excited when you know that part is coming.

This month you also had your baby dedication at church. Mommy and Daddy were so proud to show you off to the congregation and to make a public commitment to raise you up in a God fearing home that loves the Lord and puts Him first.

Your stranger anxiety is getting a tad better and you are getting more attached to other people besides just mommy. You get SO SO excited when daddy gets home from work and you want him to drop everything that minute and hold you. I love it because I know that it's such a hard thing for daddy to let go of his OCD, creature of habit ways such as check the mail and take out the trash as soon as he steps foot into the house. Haha!!

You have become super attached to your money lovey. I'm so happy about that! You love to eat his head and put the blankey part over your head while you go to sleep.

You have some sort of ball in your hand at all times. You LOVE balls and to throw them or bounce them. We can already tell that you are most definitely a right handed thrower. This shatters daddy's dreams of having a left handed pitcher but that's okay with mommy. She doesn't want you to get hurt and play ball. Ever! You are too sweet to play sports.

 

Strangers still mistake you for a girl 90% of the time but it's only because of your breathtaking eyes! The other day we were at the park and you were wearing a onesie with robots on it (clearly boyish attire) and someone asked me "how old is she?" right on cue. I told her you were a boy and she mentioned the eyes threw her off. That's the same conversation I have with strangers AT LEAST twice a week. Once you get more hair it will be easier to tell you are a boy, but right now...you are still a beautiful baby!

 

Look how much you have changed since birth. This collage straight up gives me goose bumps.

 

We love you to the moon and back Judd-Bud!
