Adalyn is 2.5

Today is Adalyn's half birthday! I know it's kind of cheesy to do a post about it, but I just can't believe how quickly my girl is growing up. In 6 more months she will be 3! Wow. She is definitely a handful, but so much fun too. I'm so lucky to be her mom. I thought this would be a great time to post some pics of Adalyn around the same age Kora is now.



These are Adalyn 

 And these are Kora

Beach Day!

Today we were lucky enough to be able to spend some time at Mission Bay with family! The Moss', Schiess', and my mom and dad. Adalyn loved playing in the sand and water, and Kora loved Grandma cuddles. Kora was having a rough day so my mom  held her and watched the rest of  us from the car to protect her from the sun and wind.What a great Grandma.

 Adalyn took her first ride in a canoe with her cousin Mikayla. She did so well! We wished we could have stayed longer!

To parents of toddler aged kids....So it is 9:45 at night and Adalyn is not asleep. I started her bedtime routine at 7:30. I tucked her in by 8:30. Then she has every reason she can think of to get out of bed. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get her to stay in bed, or get to bed earlier?..

Our Sweet Baby Kora

Kora Jean Munyer has arrived!

She was born on March 7, 2012 at 9:23 a.m. She weighed 6lbs. 3 oz and was 19.5 inches long. We are so thrilled to have her here with us. Adalyn is loving being a big sister. It is probably my favorite part of being a mom of two; seeing the relationship that they are creating. Adalyn loves to take care of Kora and make her smile. She gets concerned when Kora is crying or upset, and always tells me what she thinks that she needs. "She's hungry, She needs more mommy's milk" or "She's really, really tired" or "AWW man, where's her binky?" 

Kora is 3 months old today and getting a lot of personality! She loves to smile now, especially at her sister and daddy.  I think she just gets enough of her mom all day, so her sister and dad are a happy change. :)  She is starting to look even more like her sister now. We love it! I can't get enough of those sweet faces.

There is not much that Adalyn talks about more than Birthday parties. She loves everything about them. So when we decided it was time to get rid of the binky, we knew we should bribe her with her very own party! So we told her that after she went a week with no binky, she would get a party!  She was so happy when Daddy brought home these balloons and a special cupcake for her! We are so proud of this (not so little anymore) girl!
