Emmaline spent most of this past month sick with bronchiolitis, but once she recovered, she was her happy little self again. Likes: putting everything in her mouth playing with Rylie's wooden kitchen talking (cooing, yelling, saying "da-da-da-da") rolling over Dislikes: not having someone right next to her at all times baby food being set in… Continue reading emmaline – 8 months old
Rylie turned 2, and then was sick for 2 weeks and now I feel like I have a grown up toddler. She is saying more and more words (we’re working on stringing the words together instead of her just saying one word and implying we know the rest of her sentence), learning like crazy and… Continue reading being shaver kids || November 2018
There are fewer "random photos" than normal - partially because most of the photos fit inside of a post I shared, but also because the girls being sick took up half the month and how many pictures can you take of sick babies!? 
So here are the random photos I got of the girls… Continue reading random photos of rylie + emmaline – november 2018
Aaron made plans to work at Shaver Farms Friday night into Saturday, so that left the girls and I to ourselves for a “Girl Gang Weekend.” I may have made up a little jingle to go along with it 😝 Our evening started with a trip to Target. I don’t go there often, but I… Continue reading girl gang weekend
I feel like Emmaline is a completely different baby - she met so many milestones this month + her personality continues to shine. Likes: seeing her bottle sleeping in her own crib (YES!!! More on that below) playing with her cloth book seeing Daddy watching Rylie play looking at books watching us eat Dislikes: being… Continue reading emmaline – 7 months old
I didn’t want girls. Before kids, I told people I wanted four kids – boy, boy, girl, boy. The only reason the girl was even in the mix was because I thought I would want a little buddy. Otherwise, I was perfectly content being a “boy mom.” Everyone else thought this as well – Aaron,… Continue reading i’m a girl mom, and this is my girl gang
I can’t believe this was the last month of Rylie being a 1 year old. It flew by! Our almost 2 year old is all kinds of fun. She loves playing, laughing, and making Emmaline happy. She is so sweet and loves giving kisses to family members and big hugs to friends! Emmaline has really… Continue reading being shaver kids || 23 months old & 6 months old
Keeping with this year's tradition, here are October's random photos of the girls. || Emmaline's First Time Sitting in the Cart: The next 4 photos are of Rylie's realization that Emmaline is now sitting next to her in the grocery store cart... 😛 Playing at the Park: Fall is in full swing here… Continue reading random photos of rylie + emmaline – october 2018
“Rylie, can you pick out a book?” is a question Aaron and I ask about half an hour before we need to put Rylie down for bed every night. It’s our opportunity to not only get her brain and body into slow down mode, but it also gives us a chance to snuggle, learn, and… Continue reading i’m an usborne books & more consultant because…
How is this little love already 1/2 a year old? I mean seriously, where did the last 6 months go? Likes: standing her bouncer sitting in the bumbo being carried around growling chomping on things (your hand, fingers, teethers, etc.) practicing sitting on her own grabbing toys playing with Rylie Dislikes: not standing being on… Continue reading emmaline – 6 months old
