October

October was such a fun month! Bentley made some pumpkins for our wall!
 Novie Lou got a taste of rice cereal!
 I made some Halloween treats for a party!
 We've been enjoying walks in this nice weather!
 She is growing so fast! She started scooting around at 4.5 months. If she see's something she likes she will get there!
We went to the Christmas tree farm for a train ride and to see all the pumpkins! 
 Big spider
 Train ride
 Cheers! Her new favorite thing...
 It amazes me how different these two girls are! Novie does not like to cuddle since day one...Bentley would let me hold her all day long if I could... she loves to be the baby, and not just because we have Novie but because she's Bentley!
 She played in the hay while we waited for the train!
 Poor Novie was sick but she was a trooper!
 We had a ward trunk or treat. Bentley loved saying trick or treat and getting candy! I just love these two cheetahs!
 Just when you think your child has had too much candy....give them cotton candy!
On Halloween we headed to my sisters so Bentley could go around with her cousins. She was so cute, she would run up to the door and knock and sometimes forget about the candy and go to the next house!
 Found this cute strawberry on the porch handing out candy...or eating it all :)
It was so fun for me as a parent to see her excitement! Best holiday yet!
Sent this cute video to dad at work...

4 months & more

Where has the time gone, seriously?! My Novie Lou is growing so fast. She just had her four month check up, which by the way was completely exhausting....Yes it was Novie's appointment but Bentley's purse fell on the floor and all heck broke loose...
Shout out to Auntie Lo
Bentley really is sweet some days :) She loves to ask if we are happy. So in return we ask her and she says "no, me sad." ah why are you sad? "NO ME HAPPY!" It's a fun game played daily! 
She thinks its so fun to play in the back of Dad's truck!
She is always so happy!
Twinners!
 My sister did this for me...I love it!
 Bentley wouldn't take her medicine so I wouldn't give her her dinner. She would get really close to me and ask if it was yummy. She would try and steal a piece of my chicken or dip her finger in my ranch. My favorite part was when she got super close to me pretending she was chewing! I couldn't keep from laughing.
She likes to discover herself in the mirror haha
 She always asks if she can check on Novie right after I do...
 Yep still asleep.
 I have (had) a dish of candy corn and Bentley will come up to me with her finger and say one more mamma?!
 Home Depot Kids Corner, Petting Zoo day!
 She looks forward to these days with her Dad!
Doesn't get any cuter than this! Being away and coming back I realized how big Novie is getting. I didn't recognize her cry. She is now a baby and not a newborn. She now weighs 13 lbs! She is so fun. She loves to talk and laugh! She rolls over like no ones business, wants to sit up so bad, grabs her toes, constantly has those hands in her mouth and is starting to hold on to objects! Pretty sure she is keeping her baby blues. Novie has acid reflux and we went through a phase where she wouldn't sleep or eat. Those dark days are finally behind us :) She is now on a great schedule, eats like a champ, and enjoys sleeping! She makes us so happy and we love having her around! 

Girls Trip!

I went on a girls trip with all my sisters and mom to New York City! Here is a picture over load.

AND shout out to this mom who made it all possible!
I was so nervous to leave my girls. I have never spent a night away from either of them! Joe was amazing. He really is a great dad. He took them to the pet store, McDonald's, swimming and painted BOTH their nails! I was excited to come back and see them and it was even better coming home to these cute signs...
Can't wait until next year :)
