October Already??

Hard to believe...she is 3 weeks old today! She grew an inch, but she needs to gain some weight. We go back next week for a weight check. Noelliah is enamored with her sisters. In fact, Aliyah plays a little game with her where she sticks out her tongue and Noelliah often does it back. Keirah also had her smiling (with those dimples).

The weather has chilled (a lot) today and it is quite breezy. I'm not quite ready for that weather yet. What we had been having was perfect to me. I like fall, I just don't like what comes behind it. We "slept in" this morning for us. After Josh went to work we (Noelliah and I) had some snuggle time. I then followed that advice of sleeping when baby does and took a nap. It's a rare event that I get a nap as usually we have schoolwork going on and things that need done around the house. When daddy isn't home, I'm the go-to lol! So, we took it easy this Saturday.

Grandma called and invited us over for fried chicken. The girls love her fried chicken. We got ready and ate the healthiest meal...she fries in olive oil and everything else was vegetables and fruit. The girls ate up and got ice cream for dessert. It was good. Grandma was back in her element of cooking/serving food, waiting on everyone, and begging you to eat more. They don't like to have leftovers. She wasn't using her walker or cane or anything. It was funny, every time anything got low on anyone's plate she was ready to go get more or serve up more. Keirah was Miss Healthy Eater downing two servings of beets and a large serving of peas. Oh yeah, speaking of eating...we all weighed ourselves after lunch. I had no idea how much the girls weighed. Aliyah is 43.5 and Keirah 29.5...after full lunch and dessert. I won't tell you what I was, but I've lost 16 lbs. since Noelliah was born...maybe more considering we weighed right after lunch lol.

Aliyah has improved so much in just a few days on the bike riding. She doesn't need any help anymore and she starts and does everything on her own. She asks to ride daily now. The girls have been playing with their Playmobil toys, reading, and playing with their horses. This keeps them entertained for hours! They are great helpers with Noelliah as well. I'm so thankful for them. Each and every day, I realize how blessed we are to have the family that we do. I can't imagine life without my lovely girls and my husband.

Well, this week starts our flurry of October birthdays. It seems each family has "birthday months". Ours would be probably August and October and September is quickly catching right up =).

Have a great weekend and cover or bring in your plants as it may frost.
