Always behind on the blog!

Our little family is in a routine and able to spend sweet time with each other. Liam and Penelope are totally bonding! He has started calling her "her", he tickles her, hugs her, kisses her, holds her hands and feet while in the stroller, he wants her by his side, he has started trying to pick her up which is really funny/dangerous! She smiles so big while watching him play and he gladly hands over his toys and beloved blankie to her. Liam is saying too many words to count- outside, snack, hot, down, bird, ball, balloon, nose, toes, eyes, bubble, cheese, the numbers 2, 9 and 11, etc really random stuff. Yesterday we went to chick fil a after a target run and he happily exclaimed PLAY PLACE.

Penelope will be 3 months on September 5th and she is sleeping 9pm to 3 or 4am, it still kind of varies. I would love her to make it until the morning ie 7 or 8, but I really really don't mind getting up with her. Sometimes she wants to eat at like 12, 2, 4, 6: now those nights I am not so happy ;) she smiles and coos but hasn't given us an official laugh yet. She is so happy though, often times I'll be feeding her and she just grins at me so big it's hard to get her to eat because she just wants to look at me and smile! She is a great eater which is awesome! She rolls from belly to back but only 4 or 5 times and never back to belly. She really enjoys tummy time but starts to cry when she gets tired. The girl loves her playmat and bumbo. And enjoys her bouncer too. She plays with her owl and zebra on her carseat. We really rely on mylicon and her paci as she has some stinky little gas (sorry p for telling on you). 

Liam is learning and growing at a tremendous rate. He was really struggling with going to sleep for a couple of weeks and I feel like we are coming out of that. We are starting to introduce potty training. His new ability to communicate has made parenting him 100 times easier. 

We had a few minor issues post labor and delivery but saw my doctor Thursday and I have the official okay to run. I ran 1 mile Friday and 1.5 miles Saturday, boy am I out of shape.  It is so good for my soul to run, I can't wait too get back in the groove and build up my endurance. 

The complications throughout the pregnancy left us with a huge bill! But we trust the lord to provide and can take all the time we need to pay it off. 

The summer is over and will had a great time/ did a wonderful job leading at the camps and me and the kids were able to visit Louisville. The kids great aunts, uncles, and great grandparents, friends, etc were able to meet and love on Penelope. 

We have a new interm pastor at our church and will was able to baptize a precious little girl at church this morning.  Praise the lord for saving her soul! 

We were planning on feeling some strong effects of hurricane Isaac today but it ended up not being too bad for our area just wind and rain.

Will turned 31 on the 11th! I am so blessed to call him mine. I love him on a whole new level parenting our children together and living away from other family. 

Im sure I am leaving plenty out but I want to remember as much of this stage as I can but don't know where to start!
