Fun and Laughter with Liv

Annabelle was so excited to have her cute cousin Liv over to play during "Date Nights!" Nikki and Eric, and Josh and I decided it would be fun to alternate Saturday nights and go on more dates. When Nikki and Eric went out, we took Liv, and when Josh and I went out, they took Annabelle and Stocky. It was always nice to go out kid-free, yet we found ourselves looking forward to our visits from Liv as well!

She and Annabelle would oftentimes make each other laugh SO hard they'd go crazy! It makes me happy to see them smiling and making each other laugh. Of course they get frustrated with each other at times, but I think it's great they are learning to get along with others, to work through differences, and to appreciate each other's sense of humor :) At times we'd go out swimming, or to the bounce house, or to get ice cream, but we also had just as much fun staying home, letting the girls dress up...or down (in PJ's), building little movie forts and playing princesses. Can't wait until we can resume this fun little "tradition" when little Brody gets a little older! Here's some cute shots I took when they were laughing hysterically...over absolutely NOTHING :)

Stockton 4 Months!

Look out ladies! I'm sending a heartbreaker your way. Stocky is growing up to be one handsome little dude. We tease Josh that Stockton is going to give him a run for his money in the looks department :) Ha ha. What can I say...he's a sweetie pie, a lovey boy, and a wiggle worm to boot! This guy can't sit still and LOVES to be in the middle of the action. And if he's not, you're gonna hear about it! The consolation? Once he is in the middle of the action, he'll plaster on a smile, some serious charm, and as many slobbery open-mouth kisses as you ask for (although beware: Due to the wiggle worm-type tendencies aforementioned, kisses may come with the force of a head butt)! Don't be too concerned though; he's worth it and he'll even say "Ohhhhhhhh" as he's planting one on your cheek. But yes...he'll still be wiggling.

We LOVE watching our little-big Baby Stock grow! Happy 4 months little guy!
