Busy days...but very happy days :)

The past week or so has been pretty busy (shocker, I know). Allie has kept me running :) Me and Allie Kate went to see the new baby last Wednesday and as I held baby Brynnen I realized I am SO not ready to have another baby and a 1 yr old...the truth is Allie Kate is my baby and I feel so horrible even thinking about having another baby...like I am trying to replace her or something! Then Heath will tell me things like "Well, you want our kids to be close" and "Allie will love having a brother or sister around" and I know it is so true but I just want to soak up every single moment with the little angel God gave me...just her :) Now that being said I definately want many more babies...and I would love to be pregnant soon but it made me realize how sweet me and Allie's alone time is! The truth is I just can't imagine it right now, anytime I think of having a baby the baby in my mind is always Allie Kate! While I was holding Brynnen Allie couldn't have cared less...she was running around the house finding anything she could get her little hands on! She does not get jealous as of right now...that could change, and I am sure it will at some point. I just couldn't give her my undevided attention while holding a newborn baby on my shoulder...I couldn't help her up on the couch, I couldn't get her "bite bite", and I just felt horrible! Goofy, I know! So this is Allie Kate going through Brynnen's closet haha!

Allie would "love" Brynnen but we could never seem to catch it on camera!

On Friday we went to the Kiddy park and it was a blast! We met Nana and Jake up there and played for a while and if I've said it once I've said it a thousand times...my girl LOVES being outside!!

On Sunday it was just beautiful outside so we were out in the warm sunshine ALL DAY! I thought my little doll just looked so sweet and grown up in her sweet little skort and polo :) We played in the backyard, the front yard, the driveway, pulled her in the wagon...and then did it all again :) We have the sweetest little boy and girl that live across the street and they came to play with us...and Allie will just stare at them!

she has started sitting down outside so she can get to the dirt....geez here we go :)

Her little booty was covered in dirt and leaves!

I could have sounded an air horn and she still would not have looked..haha she loves "babies"

Me and Allie Kate went to a craft show at the g-dale civic center and she walked around to every booth waving and saying "hey" to everyone :) And I am pretty sure the Easter bunny was at that same craft show picking up some things for her Easter basket :) I love all my time I get to spend with my little love and I hope she can feel how loved she is by everyone around her!

My whole ♥

What's been going on :)

The past few days have been pretty busy...I feel like we have been on the run! Saturday we went to Red Lobster just me, Heath, and sweet Allie Kate. Allie Kate loved looking at the lobsters in the tank when you first walk in...and I think all the people waiting on tables loved watching her :)

She tore up some garlic cheese biscuits and so did her mommy and daddy! After we got done eating we took a family trip to Sam's club...Heath is like a kid in a candy shop in that store, he loves it and "needs" everything! ha! It is pretty sad but dinner and Sams wore me out...by the time I showered (with Allie Kate in there with me) got me and her both ready and made it over to the resteraunt and ate and drove over to Sams and shopped and got home past Allie's bedtime I was exausted! I can't imagine people that have 3 or 4 kids and just go,go,go...I am not saying I don't want more babies (because I actually want 3 or 4 myself) but to drag them all over the place takes a lot of energy! I guess that is why I am kind of a homebody!

Lately, Allie likes to watch me brush my teeth and always says "bite bite" and points at my tooth brush, so I finally let her see it and she was obsessed with it :) I guess she is going to have great oral hygiene like her mom!!

And this is her what she did when I asked for it back...

Sunday we went to some friends house for their open house party...they have a beautiful house and we are very proud of them :) Heath has been friends with Brandon since they were little bitty (maybe around 5 yrs old) and I love to hear all their funny stories. And I actually graduated high school with Brandon's wife Ashley! We love them, they are a sweet couple! Allie is not too fond of many men, but she took a liking to Brandon :) They sat outside by themselves in a chair and watched his dog...that was probably one of the longest times I have ever seen Allie sit still (besides when she is strapped in her carseat and is forced to be still). She had a great time at the little get together and was the center of attention, of course, she wouldn't have it any other way :)

little miss loves to drag everything out of her bag!

Lately Allie Kate has had a few little strands of hair that are just a little longer than the rest of her hair and everyone has been pestering me to cut it....well I finally did it tonight! She was playing in my cabinets and I just went over there spur of the moment and snipped those little stray hairs off! I couldn't believe it myself! It had been looking kind of crazy though and I couldn't figure out how to fix it so I just snipped it off...sad I know, but I am not considering this her first hair cut since I just barely cut like 10 hairs ha!
This is before the haircut...

You cant really see the little stragglers in this pic!

Allie has also recently developed a true love for powdered doughnuts :)

My girl is the sweetest in the world!

♥Good night♥

New baby cousin!

Allie Kate is officially a big cousin! Great news! And I have major baby fever! Being in the same place I had my sweet girl just 14 short months ago made me so emotional...I almost cried several times! It made me realize just how fast time flys!!! Candace had her healthy baby girl (7 lbs 3 oz and 20.5 inches long) last night at about 6:30pm.

Me and Allie got to Brookwood hospital at about 4pm and waited, and waited, and waited......you get the point :) Allie had a BLAST! This was like the highlight of her month! I worried that she would get ill or bored but she had an audience and she was running up and down the halls jibber jabbering or in the waiting room playing with people's cell phones or climbing in chairs or talking to strangers haha! It also didn't hurt that Candace's little brother, Chase, was there...Allie loved him and kept saying his name and pointing to him and saying "bee'bey" ha!

this was her texting :)

Heath met us over there after he got off work and we took turns chasing after our sweet girl! We went around 6pm to the cafeteria because I thought she might be getting hungry (and I was kinda bored just sitting there) and during our less than tasty dinner she pooped... A LOT! So after searching 2 different bathrooms for a changing table and no such luck, we had to resort to a booth in the cafeteria. I realize that is disguisting and I would have flipped out if I was trying to eat and someone was changing a poopy diaper...but I had to do what I had to do...I mean I couldn't lay her on the cold, hard hospital floor (that  was my only other option). So after changing her I picked her up and realized it was ALL over her sweet dress....and of course JUST before we left for the hospital I had taken all her spare clothes out of my diaper bag because I thought "I always lug all these clothes around and she never needs them." So we hit the gift shop (with my child in a diaper ha!) and come to find out they don't really sell 12-18 month clothing. Imagine that everything was newborn size! Well that is except for one thing :) Allie Kate her very first pair of scrubs last night! ha! And might I add they were crazy expensive scrubs! It was so funny we left for dinner with my little doll looking so sweet in her little dress, leggings, and boots and when we came back she was wearing green scrubs that said "Doctor in training" on the back! Everyone obviously thought we just did it because we liked the scrubs...not so much, I was actually pretty embarassed about them, but my husband informed me we had more compliments on those goofy scrubs than some of her cutest outfits :) People thought it was cute?

Of course I think she can rock anything making it adorable but she is mine, I am supposed to think that!

Anyways back to the baby...we couldn't actually see the baby (or her mommy and daddy) until about 9:30pm! So at about 9pm Heath offered to take Allie home and bathe her and put her down if I wasn't home yet. Trust me, I tried so hard to get home...thinking "she needs me, she misses me, she wonders where her mommy is" because I ALWAYS put her to bed. The only time anyone else has ever done it was when I had a Christmas party to go to that I couldn't be home. So when I got home I was pleasantly surprised that she was fast asleep :) I went in to check on her (like I always do) before going to bed and she even smelled good :) Of course Heath was so happy to do it and went over exactly what he had done 20 times! So thankful that he wants to help me out and be hands-on! 

 Allie never got to meet the "bee-bey" she waited so long to see, so me and her went today after her nap to meet her new cousin!
Today when I pulled out my camera (of course while she was strapped in her carseat...it is the only time she is still) she actually looked at me and smiled!

We got to the hospital and got to meet baby Brynnen! She had a tummy ache and was crying and Allie Kate didn't know what to think! She acted scared! Bless her heart she was worried about her she would point and say "bey-bee" with a worried look on her face.

I know I look drunk but it was my only picture with her!

She liked the rocking chair :)

She kept touching Candace's boob ha! Which I am sure Candace really appreciated :)

Sweet Brynnen Taylor

Sweet Allie Kate :)

After visiting with Candace and Jacob for a little bit we headed over to see "Nana" and Jake since they are leaving for the beach tomorrow. And Allie Kate decided that she wanted to climb on the counters and the table...she loves to climb!

then she found a random pair of glasses and thought it was SOOO funny :) and it was!!

I love this sweet baby more and more everyday...seeing Jake and Candace with their new baby girl remonds me of when I first had Allie Kate and she was great then but she is soo funny and has the sweetest little personality now. Me and Heath were talking earlier and it is so hard to believe they go from so little and fragile not even able to hold their head up to running around talking and exploring!
