Happy Father's Day!

To my wonderful Hubby!
The girls and I are heading to IN tomorrow and leaving daddy behind to work, so we did father's day today!  Wren put on her new t-shirt to surprise Daddy, Gabby made him a card, and I took D-A-D pics for him.

Dad always has my back.

I am having these framed

We all set around and laughed at the outtakes from our photo shoot to get those pictures.  Here is my favorite.

But I don't want to make Daddy a present unless it is in my diaper!

Turning my love of Cloth Diapers into a living!

I am so excited!  My mother and I are going into business together.  Using my love for cloth diapering and her seamstress know how, we are creating Gabby Wren Cloth Diapers!   My older sister has joined in the fun and is helping to financially back our endeavours.  We are currently working on our design for our diaper.  We will be sending out testers soon, and after that hopefully will be opening up shop!

Gabby girl helped design the logo!  I only had the words and the bird, and couldn't decide where to place the bird.  She comes up and goes "turn the n into a branch for the bird to sit on, and presto we have our logo.  

There isn't much yet but check out our facebook page if you want.

The teething monster

Wren has a tooth!

This is what she has to say about it.

Temporary stay at home mom

I am currently getting a taste of what it is like to be a stay at home mom.  I have to say that I freaking love it!  I almost want my job offer to fall through.  (Don't tell Nathan I said that)

I love being with Wren all day.

I love being here for everything she does and learns.

I love being home when Gabby gets off the bus.

I love that I am not so stressed out that I can enjoy my family.

I love having a clean house because I am not worn out from work.

I love cooking dinner because I am not worn out form work.

I don't even mind not having extra spending money.

Being a stay at home mom is in no way easy.  When Wren hasn't napped all day and is glued to my side it is hard to get anything done and I get stressed.  With everything that goes into being a stay at home mom the good far out weighs the bad. 

When/if I go back to work I will be devastated.

And now for a picture of my cute babies because that is all anyone cares about anyway!

Happy 1/2 birthday Wren!

Wren is 6 months old now!  I can't believe it has been 1/2 a year since she was born.  She is growing way too fast!  I know that it happens in a blink of an eye, just look at Gabby, but I wish I could slow down time or stop it all together.  At least for a little while.  I try to remember what Gabby was like when she was 6 months old and I just remember small snap shots. I know that I did it but, I can't remember exactly how it felt to just sit and stare at Gabby, like I do with Wren.  I am so afraid that in 9 years I won't remember this time either.  Knowing how fast it goes makes me hold on to every second I have that much more. 

Now that I am done being all sappy.  The fun stuff you have come to see!

A few hours old

6 months old

See the cute pic of her with her sock monkey?  Well I decided to take a picture with her monkey every month.  This months she decided to show her monkey who is the boss by using her awesome wrestling skills!

You want me to take a picture with him?

I don't know if I really want to

WACK!

POW!

NOM NOM NOM

She also tried to get up on all fours during her "photo shoot."  It was so awesome because she has never tried this before! Her poor foot kept getting stuck though so it didn't work.

Gabby trying to get her back on the blanket

Stupid foot why won't you move!

Went to Indiana for the weekend

We went to Indiana for my FIL's birthday.  It was great to see the family.  We stayed at a hotel and got to take the girls swimming.  Wren loved slashing and trying to drink the water.  We met a baby 3 days younger then Wren and they played together in the water.  Wren would splash him and he would laugh and laugh at her. Gabby had a blast with her and would have stayed in the pool the entire weekend if we let her.

Wren has severe stranger anxiety and would not let anyone hold besides Nathan's brother and her great grandpa.  I think it really up set MIL and I felt bad that she wouldn't go to them without screaming.  Gabby was such a Papa's girl when she was a baby.  O well we will be back in IN soon enough.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

FIL - it was a surprise party : )

Wren being a cutie pie as always!

My parents, FIL, Gabby and cousin Brayden.  Did I mention FIL is an Elvis impersonator?

Daddy and Wren!

Party girl!

Ready to swim

 

This is why there aren't many pictures of little miss attitude

A beautiful day

We had beautiful weather yesterday.  We took the opportunity to walk to the park.  In true Gabby fashion she would not let me get a good picture of her, but I did manage to get her in the background of a few of these.

Wren didn't know what to think about the grass and would not stop looking at it.

First time swinging.

She loved it!

Loved scooting on the slide.
