Practice with two

Last week I got to keep this sweet little 2 year old for a day. It was so much fun! She and Lily played together so well and I got so much accomplished. I didn't think I would have such a productive day, but it turned out that I got more done while taking care of two babies than I normally do just caring for Lily. I hope this is a trend that will continue after December! Ha!

Kaitlyn was such a little mommy to Lily. She shared the toys and made sure Lily was having fun too. It really was adorable! I got brave and went to walmart and a thrift store with both girls. It was an adventure, but we had no fussing or meltdowns.

It was definitely great practice for me - although our kids will be closer together in age.

I have my ultrasound on Monday and we're having a Gender Reveal Party on Monday night (as long as the little one cooperates!) I'll post a video of the cake cutting so ya'll can see too!

Head over to Andrea's for more Caffeinated Randomness. Hope ya'll have a great weekend!

Need A Laugh Today??

The other day when I kept my nephew, I heard giggling and walked in the living room to see this craziness!

Yes, my dear husband is truly a child at heart! Ha!

He loves playing with kids and doing crazy things to make them laugh! 

They had lots of fun playing together even in the slightly cramped quarters! ha!

just for the JOY of it - A Little Girl and Puppies

This little girl brought me so much joy yesterday! I got to keep her all day. We played a lot, then we went to the grocery store, several actually, and she behaved so well. When we got home, she wanted to play outside with the puppies even though it was freezing cold!

My Sweet Girl

Last week Jacob and I kept Kaitlyn again for a few days. We had such fun taking pictures!

Me & my girl

I love her like my own.

She's finally walking!

Go Auburn! It's my little brother's cap. Btw, he took all the pictures of me and Kaitlyn! He did a great job.

Eating chips...

Chillin' with Uncle Jacob. She loves him.

Better Than Toys

I get to keep my darling nephew a lot so my sister can go to the grocery store or go workout. The other day I had him sitting on a blanket playing with toys in the kitchen while I washed dishes.

Well, it was Jacob's birthday and there was a leftover gift bag and tissue paper sitting on the floor a few feet away from Ridley. He had absolutely no interest in the toys, all he wanted was that bag. It took him probably 10 minutes to actually get off the blanket and roll/scoot over to the bag, but he didn't give up!

"Hmm, what is this thing that I worked so hard to get?"

"Aunt Kelly, you'd better not tell Mom on me."

"I like my new toy!"

"Yum, tags are good..."

"Let's see what this thingy is"

"I don't know what this crunchy stuff is, but it sure makes cool noises when I move it really fast!"

"Woo, I love this stuff! I could play with it for hours!"

Happy Friday ya'll!

Pure Joy

Can you guess who my nephew is looking at in these pictures?

His MOMMY! He absolutely adores her!

Caffeinated Randomness: Life of Late

As I mentioned earlier in the week, we have been keeping a 15 month old little girl. She has been keeping me so busy, but we've been having tons of fun! In the beginning I was only supposed to keep her Tuesday and Wednesday, but it's turned out that I'm keeping her until tomorrow night! I don't mind at all. I love the opportunity!

Here's a recap of what we've done the last few days. Of course there are bunches of pictures. ha!

We've played outside a ton since the weather has been so nice!

She loves snack time...chocolate chip cookies are the best messy-face makers!

I've enjoyed naptime. ha! I seriously found her asleep like this one day. My sister tells me this is the way I used to sleep.

We went to Walmart and got some magnetic letters. She loves playing with them!

We also got sidewalk chalk and drew pictures for "Uncle Jacob" to see when he got home from teaching.

We ran a bunch of errands and she got worn out! Do you like her hairbow? You should have seen all the attention she got because of it. ha!

We've gone for lots of walks around the neighborhood

Such a fun and happy little girl!

It's bath time now, so I'd better go. Hope y'all have a Happy Friday!!! For more Caffeinated Randomness visit Under Grace and Over Coffee.

Peacefully Sleeping

I love taking pictures of sleeping babies. They are just so peaceful.

This is my adorable nephew when he was about 1 month old.

This is a little girl that I take care of a lot.

Sweetly sleeping babies always remind me of this verse:

Proverbs 3:24

"When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet."

Little Sweetie!

This past weekend Jacob and I got to keep Kaitlyn, who is almost 1! She was so good and we got some good practice being parents. Ha!

She was getting sleepy after playing in the johnny-jump-up

She loved playing with those blocks

Happy girl!

So cute!
