I can't believe it's been over a month since our last post! We have had a very busy August since our Vegas trip! Presley has been pretty sick too! She had roseola virus, a secondary bacterial infection, a urinary tract infection and thrush the week of my birthday...she does like to get sick on holidays so I guess she thought my birthday counted! Anyway, it took a full week to get her back to normal! It was definitely worse than the swine flu and I hope she never gets anything close to that again.
We celebrated Liam's birthday in mid-August, took a trip to Fort Hood to visit Libby and John on Labor Day weekend, went to the Acquarium, gone to many playdates, had a cookout at the pool with our playgroup friends and just enjoyed the end of the summer. The weather is still so hot, so we haven't gotten to play outside as much as I would like. Our computer also crashed so I've been busy trying to regain all the pictures that we lost. Thankfully, it wasn't too bad since I got an external hardrive for Christmas and have transferred most of my pictures to that already.
Anyway, sorry these pictures aren't in order or facing the right direction. It has taken forever to upload them already so I'm just going to post. Lea is coming tomorrow to visit for the weekend and we cannot wait to see her! When I ask Presley who's coming to see her, she screams "G!"
Her purse makes an appearance in almost all these pictures. It was a gift from Mallie for the horrible week she had when she was so sick! It is definitely her new favorite accessory!
Here we are at the aquarium. Check out this humongous turtle above our heads. Presley did not like this area. It was a tunnel you walked through with water and animals all around us- including lots of sharks!
We still LOVE our tutus from Rere.
Celebrating the first gameday this fall with daddy!
Hanging out with Parker in the pool!
We tried out pigtails for the first time. I cannot believe her hair is so straight! They were precious, though!!
Watching football with Uncle Nick one night.
Our little cheerleader!
She LOVES the bounce house and literally, walks around like she owns the place when we arrive. This was the slide at Liam's birthday party.
Presley is up to so many new things:
-recognizes 5 letters G, D, P, S and M... we're now working on Z
-points to things while I'm driving and says "Look Mama, birds" or horses, trees, school bus... whatever she sees. It's the most precious thing to hear!! She gets so excited
-She absolutely LOVES horses right now. She looks for them whenever we pass a field.
-She also loves playing dress up. Aunt Rere made her 2 tutus that she loves to wear. She also loves the bumblebee wings she got from Cousin Caden's birthday party.
-She's still a GREAT eater! Her favorite is Amelia's homemade guacamole. She also loves ham, cinnamon rolls, cheese, any fruit particularly blackberries and blueberries.
-She recognizes so many animals and all their noises: rooster and chicken are my favorite that she says
-she can count but she says 1 and 3 (doesn't like 2 right now)
-loves to help mommy and daddy. She gets so excited to help with anything: moving laundry from washer to dryer, handing water bottles to mommy to re-stock the refrigerator. She also now pretends to vaccuum and even has pushed our vaccuum once or twice... she LOVES it!
-She loves the cats. She calls them both Marge... poor Phil.
-Still sleeps great, in pack and play or at home. She's sleeping a solid 12-13 hours a night and takes a 1.5-2 hour afternoon nap- I couldn't ask for more!
She is such a blessing to us! I absolutely cannot imagine my life without getting to spend every day with her. She is so much fun and such a happy little girl.
