First Christmas!

We're starting to get ready for the holidays! The house is decorated, some presents have been purchased, the Christmas series at church has started and we've already been to two Christmas parties!! Tis the season! Amid all the hustle and bustle, I hope we all strive to always remember what the season is really about... The birth of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.

Forget the parties & presents and always remember the miraculous story of Mary, Joseph and Jesus!

Our Rock

I can't say enough about this sweet little girl. She's our rock. Yes, we have our moments, but I tell you what, she's the one person in this house that has held it together the past two months! ;-) She's her consistent little self and nothing seems to phase her! She's so resilient...it's amazing. The Lord has blessed me immensely and I'm so proud to call her my daughter. I couldn't be more proud of her with how she's transitioned into be a 'big sis' and having to share the spotlight. Gosh, I just love her to pieces. Thank you Miss Cyd for always being there for mommy! ;-)

Lately: It's like she has grown up overnight...I can't believe I'm planning her second birthday party!!!

~She's been saying 'hon' all the time! 'It's alright, hon.' 'Thanks, hon'... hon...hon... hon... Almost every sentence ends with it! ;-)

~Loves drawing

~Mommy's helper! She imitates everything I do with her babies. Diaper, powder, sucking the nose, you name it...your baby gets it!

~Loves reading

~She's been annunciating (sp?) words so well and speaking in complete sentences.

~She counts to 10 now....when she wants. However, lately, she's been skipping 2 & 3 for some reason.

~Every shape is a diamond and every color is pink! haha Some days are better than others in this department! ;-)

She loves wearing her daddy's Colts hat!
What are those eyes saying!?

'Feeding' her baby! haha! I crack up at this! She feeds her doggy too!

So proud of our tour!

She loves her some t.v.

Happy Wednesday! Much Love!

quality time.

This past week brought a few visitors to the Naville Household! We are so blessed with such great family and friends and their visits were nice, relaxing and good for the soul!

First up: Poppy!

Cydni adores my dad. They don't get to see each other as much as my dad wants, but I swear, when Cydni sees him, it's like they haven't skipped a beat! It's sweet and warms my heart.

My daughter refuses to take pictures anymore. ugh.

She woke up from her nap and laid on dad for an hour! aaahhh...
********************************



Next up: The Jones'!



Sadly, yet happily, our dear, dear friends are moving to Hotlanta.. So they ventured over our way to get all of our boxes on Saturday. It was so good to see them one last time before they are off! Matt just informed me that he may have to go to Atlanta for work in January, so they may have a few visitors! ;-) hehe.

Cyd loves Ty!

Is this not a freak-of-nature child! She's bridging on her head and scoots all over the floor like that! Her huge bald spot on the back of her head is cute and hilarious!
Can you believe they are 5 months apart!? Dakota, Mimi and Jax

***********************************

And Finally: Chad, Jen, Ayela & Makenna
They came down to stock up on some Pops Reserve Wine! I still chuckle when I think of Mr. Busch Light being a Wino! ;-) haha! We loved having you all!

Seriously, how do you twin momma's (and daddy's ;-)) do it!?

He really can read! ;-) haha

Aeyla, Amelia and Makenna ~ About a month apart.

Makenna, Amelia & Ayela

Thanks everyone for making the trip! It was great to see you all!! Love you guys!

2 months ~ Updated with Stats.

STATS!

Chunker she is!

Weight: 13 lbs 10.1 oz ~ 95%

Height: 23.5 in ~ 95%

Head Circumference: 75%

Holy Moly! ;-) haha

Our little chunker!

Moved up to size 2 diapers!

Wow.. Two months.. It's kinda weird, b/c it seems like we just welcomed Amelia into our family and then again it seems like she's been with us for so long! I said this with Cydni too, but I don't really know what we did with all of our time before Amelia! It's definitely a crazy ride, but so worth it. The last month has been so hard on me. Being sleep-deprived, not knowing what was going on with Amelia, feeling like I was 'cheating' Cydni... Just finding our groove in general. But, in the last 4-5 days, things have really taken a turn! Praise God! I told Matt that when she started pooping with ease, things are going to change and man, they have! She's been a whole new baby! The last few days I have really been able to enjoy the kiddo's. Does that sound bad? I mean, I enjoyed them, but it was tough getting threw the days. They truly are my little blessings and I can't thank the Lord enough for putting them in my life.

You can really tell how big she's getting when you lay her on the changing table.

So, lately, she's been sleeping fabulously (I'm not saying how well, b/c everytime I do, things change!). But, in turn, her naps are all screwed up, so hopefully we'll get those figured out eventually.

She's been sucking on her fists'... I'm going to assume she's going to be a thumb-sucker. She won't have anything to do with a paci.

She's talking & smiling all the time! It's so, so sweet! As all you mothers out there know!

Finally catching a smile! I've got a few, but this is today, on her actual 2 month b-day. She does a little elvis lip curl, but I know I'll never catch that.

And she just loves bath time!

She goes on Tuesday for her check-up, so I'll update this post on her stats!

Much Love!

up and up

Things are hopefully taking a turn for the better.. Looking back on it, not that they were terrible in the first place, just the normal, hard, sleep-deprived roller-coaster that I'm sure alot of you have went through. I'm just not finding the time to blog right now. When one goes down for a nap, the other is up to eat! And, when I do have down-time, I want to brush my teeth or shower or just lay around and do nothing! I've got photos uploaded, so when I get an inkling to blog, I won't have to upload or edit anything!

Amelia is getting so big!

Happy Friday! Much Love and I hopefully promise to do better! ;-)

tired and printing

Weird title, I know, but I'm tired. Amelia has had a rough couple days and this momma hasn't gotten much sleep! It's so frustrating b/c I get her down and then it takes me forever to wind down! I just keep telling myself it's short-lived! Just deal with it! But, it's just so hard sometimes. I feel like such a failure most of the time and that other 10%, I feel like I have it together! ;-) haha. I'm hoping that we're on the upward swing of things now though, so we'll see. If you don't hear from me for awhile again, you know it's I'm deep in the trenches! ;-)

Now, onto my printing side of the title... Do any of you know of or have you ever gotten your blog 'printed' on paper? I think it would be neat to have it in a book form and the girls could look back on it that way too... I'm still a picture printer too. I know I have them all on my computer and in snapfish, but I love them in physical form too... Let me know if you've heard of a good place to have it done!

Much love! Hope all is going well your ways!

Outside Fun!

Walks like this take forever.... and we only get a few houses down... She has fun though! ;-)

Amelia slept the whole time. Miss chunker is now upwards of over 12 lbs! She has found her hand and is cooing and smiling so much! Melts our hearts!

Cyd's new thing now is saying 'hon'... all.the.time. She ends almost every sentence with it and it's so darn cute! Obvioulsy, Matt and I must say it way too much! ;-)

Pushing our 'babies'!
Cyd loved playing in the leaves!
