Life Lately








So this has been the longest I've ever gone since I did an update on here. I never even updated about Jonah's 2nd birthday and that was already nearly 6 months ago!! I'll give a quick summary of life since then.

Jonah turned 2 on April 28th. We skipped a big party this year and just went to dinner with my in-laws and had Cookie Monster and Elmo cupcakes at home afterward. He loved it!! The next day we got him his first big boy haircut, and he looks like a whole new (way too big) kid! He's at the most fun and adorable age! He is the cutest and sweetest thing, but also so mischievous!  He loves big trucks, chugga choo choos, and airplanes like most boys do. Trolls, Sing and Snow White are his favorite movies, and Mickey, PJ Masks and Daniel Tiger are his favorite shows. He copies every single thing Avery does and he treats Dada like a rockstar when he comes home. He's getting more and more independent and wants to do everything himself. He totally failed the three day potty training method and is perfectly content in diapers for now. Jonah is totally Momma's boy and gives the best snuggles. He wants so badly to have sleepovers in everyone else's bed, but gets way too distracted to actually sleep. Jonah is really developing a passion for music and shows some real talent on the drums! He makes us laugh all day and he brings so much joy to our lives! We love you, big guy! 
Those sweet curls!!


























Here's some of my favorite pictures from the summer!

Avery is counting down the days till she turns 5, because she just wants to be big so badly! Plus we will get to celebrate her birthday at The Happiest Place on Earth, DISNEYLAND!! Ave is still our sweet, sensitive girl and is as funny as ever! After soccer ended, she did a summer hip hop dance class, which she loved, and now is doing cheerleading for flag football and taking a theater class. She wants to try everything, so we are trying to just support her in finding what she is really passionate about! I have actually ended up coaching her cheer team, and have had way more fun than I anticipated and it has made it an even more special experience for her. Avery is reading more and more and is starting to get interested in writing. She leaves us little notes all the time and I want to keep them ALL! It's so precious. I can't believe she'll go to kindergarten next year and I get teary every time I think about our slow days at home coming to a close, but I'm also SO thankful we still have a year of hanging out doing fun stuff first!! 

Our little monster's 1st birthday

Avery's last first day of Preschool!

The last picture I got of her smile with all her teeth!

Right now I am just so in love with both of their ages! At nearly 2.5 and 5, they are absolute best friends, and always ask about and miss the other one when they are separated.  They are both so witty and sweet and talented and make us so proud to be their parents. I just can't stand the thought of them not being these tiny people forever!!!







Enjoying Cooler weather this week!

Meanwhile I just turned 30, and celebrated my big milestone birthday with a trip to NYC with Jon as we visited my best friend from high school, Steph! It was a big bucketlist trip for me, and I already want to go back!! Right now, we are 9 days out from our LA/Disney trip and we cannot wait to see their faces light up as they meet all their favorite characters!! I will definitely post an update sooner than later!

The amazing view of Central Park from our room!
