you've got a friend.

june has found herself a cute little friend in the mirror and it's the most entertaining part of her day.

i will prop her up and immediately she finds herself and locks in and starts babbling. 

 the conversation is short and sweet but it's like she's really gabbing with her first little girlfriend.

it's the best!

for the record, these pictures were taken right before bed.

tosseled hair from the day, spit up on her jammies and just plain ready for our beauty rest.

cutest girl on the planet!

two months!

dear june,

you are now two months old and i cannot believe you are getting so big!

your dad and i have forgotten what life was like without you and we absolutely could not possibly live one second without you here.

you are smiling at us all of the time, like seriously all of the time and it is the best.

your smile is so sweet and cute and you do this thing where you throw your head to the side while you are smiling and it makes me think that you really enjoy your little life.

you talk all of the time too, this is your newest trick.

you and daddy have a special little language that ya'll communicate with and i have to admit i'm a bit jealous of it.

it's the sweetest thing to watch and it makes him feel so special that you have so much to say to him.

 you had your two month appointment this month and it was awful.

you did fantastic and are a growing girl but when it came time for your shots mama lost it, so much so that she had to step out of the room.

i admit that i am pathetic but i just couldn't bare to watch the poke.

so daddy stayed in there with you and helped you be brave.

i could hear you screaming all the way down the hall and i just hated it so much.

next time though i promise to be brave with you.

i love you so much!

the doctor said you are just perfect. . . a perfect little 9 pound 9 ounce bundle of joy.

you are long and lean baby girl, 22 1/2 inches long.

so sweet the way you are growing!

you are still loving to eat and are like clockwork.

every three hours we are sitting down to nurse, you never let me forget it's time to feed you.

my little hollow leg girl.

you have been sleeping anywhere from five to seven hours at night, daddy and i couldn't be prouder or feel more rested.

let's keep that up!

you usually take about four or five naps a day and at least one of those is usually in your carseat which you have kinda started to not like as much lately.

the other day you screamed and screamed until we got home and i totally don't blame you. . . i wouldn't want to be in that seat either.

 we think you are the most beauitful baby out there, rightfully so.

but lately strangers have been stopping us during our shopping and just gushing over your sweet face. 

i hope and pray that as you get older you will be even prettier on the inside.

you are the best thing that ever was baby girl.

you make our days great, eventful and just so so sweet.

i could hold you for hours on end for you are the best little cuddle bug.

oh goodness, i hope that never changes.

daddy and i fight over who gets to hold you or sit by you at dinner, you're just our most favorite little thing.

we love you so much!

just love.

june loves her "shakey" chair, we really aren't sure what it's called but goodness she loves it. 

if we would let her she would stay sitting in there for hours on end.

she has started "talking" to her little owl friend and it is just so cute.

everytime she moves her little arms about, it shakes and rattles and she just smiles and coos.

does this chair count as a toy?

if so, it's your first toy that you love baby girl.

sweet thing.

 i know i'm biased but we think she is just so pretty.

 we had dinner friday night with the newhouse clan, sure love them!

and would you look at baby jackson. . . such a sweet kiddo and mark my words that we will be cheering him on in the nfl someday.

 it was a great weekend at home with our little familiy of three. 

andy was feeling a little bit sicky so we mainly relaxed and relaxed and relaxed some more.

and it was perfect.

saturday we were certifiable and headed to northpark to do some birthday shopping for yours truly and we should have just turned straight home when we pulled into park and had to resort to parking in the grass along with every other crazy in the dfw area.

it was nuts.

pure nuts.

june isn't quite used to the rebels' flash so i think that any picture that makes her eyes get so huge is hysterical and just oh so cute.

how could you not agree!

happy monday!

so thankful.

happy thanksgiving from the jeffrey family a few days late!

we spent thanksgiving at the ranch with all of the 'jeffrey'family this year.

a great time was had by all and a very relaxing time was had by me if i do say so myself.

i wasn't feeling my very best and got to sleep in the most comfortable bed ever and left the ranch feeling much better.

shout out to lullabylubbock, i am absolutely loving my new scarf.

me and emille in our matching yarn, so fun.

june finally got to meet our nika, they were fast friends.

my dad and christopher came out for many hunts and one evening all christopher found was a bunch of kiddos that absolutely love him.
so fun for a big sister to watch.

just love that little smooshed face..

we are overwhelemed with how incredibly blessed we are year after year.

give thanks to the Lord for He is good!

turkey lurkey.

so three hours before june and i were to be reunited with andy at the ranch i got the big idea to copy kristen and allison at lullabylubbock and whip up a little turkey shirt for june's first thanksgiving.

so off to get supplies we went, so glad tootie has a sewing bone in her body because she did it all.

i had plans to be a mother daughter matching duo but had been feeling sick all day and finally just gave up.

so maybe next year. . .

it was super easy and super cheap.

how great is hobby lobby for selling their felt for four sheets for one buck.

practically free!

we grabbed some white tees at target and used embroidary thread that my mom already had and here you go. . . our little turkey in her turkey attire.

so maybe it looks a little like the nbc peacock but oh well.

love her so much!

already working on her shirt for christmas!

three years later.

three years ago last night andy and i fell in love.

we were laughing about our first date to the parade last night and just sitting with our jaws dropped at how drastically different our lives are just three years later.

we love our life but i guarantee you that neither of us left that parade three years ago thinking that we would be where we are today. . . and i'm so glad we're here.

the big bad abilene christmas parade was last night and i must admit i was heartbrooken that we missed it.

i think it would have been so fun to take our little bug to the downtown festival of lights in my sweet little hometown.

so instead i twisted everyone's arm to send me a pic of their fun so my heart would feel a part of the action.

here's my gf's enjoying themselves at cypress street.

miss them all!

sydney and pearce did a spectacular job cheering.

go cubs!

my favorite little nutcracer mice.

love you mo and lily.

but just look at this face.

don't you know i'd miss any parade to love on this thing.

she's just the greatest and just so worth it.

so nice to meet you.

june got to meet her three sweet cousins from virginia and it was such a sweet time.

i love these pictures, they're just the sweetest.

love this, all hands on deck for a blowout.

nothing better.

cutest brylee. june just adores her.

and look at this little mommy. . . she's learned from the best!

we love all of our cousins and can't wait for june to run and play with them so very soon.
