Julia | VPK Graduate | FCBC Weekday Preschool | April 2018

I cannot believe that my oldest, my first born, my baby girl is going to be graduating VPK in just one week! She has been looking forward to this day for a long time because that means she is finally Kindergarten ready! I'm just not so sure this Mama is ready because that means my girl is growing up! I know she is going to do great though. I have no fear of her starting "big girl school." She loves to learn. She loves making friends. And, she loves to be challenged. 

I am so grateful to FCBC Weekday Preschool for teaching her to love Jesus. I am amazed how much she has learned about various bible stories, and the way she is able memorize Scripture. She loves to talk about Jesus, and there is nothing in this world that gives me greater joy than that. I pray, goodness, I pray that little heart of her's only longs to know Him more! Thank you to each teacher/staff that has had an impact on my sweet girl. I am so incredibly thankful for your obedience to be with these children day in and day out teaching them the Word of God first then academics. Our family is blessed because of your love for Jesus! Thank you!

It's crazy to think that I will do photos like this again in 13 years, but I would be totally okay with taking our time! You are a beautiful little girl. As much as I wish you could stay little forever, I know God has a wonderful plan for your life, and He is going to grow you in a beautiful young woman.

Happy VPK graduation our precious Julia Bug! We love you oh so much!

Meredith Anne | Two Months Old

I cannot believe my baby girl turned two months old this past Sunday! Time is just flying by, and she is growing so fast! It is so fun to watch her learn new things and reach new milestones. There is definitely no shortage of kisses for her either. She is so loved.

What's new?

• Weight: 
• She attended nursery for the first time (both Wednesday night & Sunday morning).
• She is smiling big. The most beautiful, heart gushing smile I've ever seen! 
• She went from being the best sleeper to the worst sleeper, especially during the day.
• She is a bit on the "high maintenance" side...
• She loves to be cuddled/carried everywhere and in constant motion.
• She doesn't like it when you leave the room if she is awake.
• She finally decided the swing is not so bad after all.
• She hates the crib with a passion.
• She still takes a bottle every 2-3 hours, and demands it when she is hungry.
• She will sleep anywhere from 6-8 hours at night, but getting her to sleep is the difficult part. (Colic is the worst...)
• She loves, loves, loves bath time. It is her favorite part of the day, and her little internal baby alarm clock nows around the time she should be getting her bath. When it is time, she demands "I want bath time now!" Put her in the tub, there is immediate smiling and happiness.
• She doesn't like it if her diaper is wet and poopy. Understandable, lol. She does enjoy getting her diaper changed.
• She has a love/hate for tummy time. It just depends on her mood. She can lift her head off the ground a little, but if you put her on your chest or shoulder she can lift her head all the way. She tries to scoot when on the floor though. Once she gets this down, she may just skip rolling and go straight to crawling!
• She prefers to be sitting up when you hold her. She wants to see what is going on.

We love you sweet girl! We can't wait to see what month three will be like!
