Wow! I've been busy

Unfortunately, I have been neglecting my blog for a while now and I hate it. I've been super busy with converting our guest room into a playroom, meeting with families about child care and starting my Willow House business. I'm super excited about all three things!! 

First off, we finally took our guest room furniture back to my parents house and bought colorful foam floor tiles and a toy shelf for the playroom. There is still a lot of work to do in there but for now, it's a place for all of BR's toys that isn't in our living room. ha!

Second, I now have two babies that I will be keeping this coming school year. A little girl starting in September and a little boy starting in March. I'm so glad that this finally worked out. God is so good and really came through with two great families! I can't wait to start keeping these babies. It's going to be challenging but also very rewarding. :o)

Lastly, Willow House!! Wow!! I am so pumped up about Willow House that I can hardly stand it. I now have my own Design Consultant page. Please feel free to click on the link below and check out my page. Allison Williamson - Willow House Design Consultant

I have scheduled my launch party for August 19th and I'm already working on hosting a party for Chase's aunt in Prattville. It's great!! I'm hoping to book a few more parties this month since it's Double Host Dollars month. Willow House is number one is host rewards of all the party plan companies so DOUBLE the rewards is super awesome. If you're interested in hosting a party, attending a party or would like to learn more about starting your own business with Willow House, contact me at willowhouse.allison@gmail.com

I do have some things I need to blog about so hopefully I'll get around to that tomorrow but for now I need to go to bed. Night Night!

BR at 6 Months Old

It's hard to believe she's 6 months old already.

On Tuesday, we went for Brantley Rae's 6 month check up. She was so active that it was crazy. I couldn't keep her from wiggling all over the table. I should have taken a picture of the piece of paper that they had covering the table. She totally crumpled it all up. It was pretty funny. Dr. S even chuckled a little when he walked in.

Dr. S said that she looks great. She's still small but she very healthy.

Weight: 13 lbs 10.5oz (15th percentile)

Length: 26.5 inches (90th percentile)

Diapers: size 2

Clothes: 3-6 months

Naps 3-4 times a day

Eats a lot more solids now. At least 2 solid meals a day. 

She's still drinking at least 5 bottles a day.

At 6 months Brantley:

-Still takes a pacy

-Sleeps from 8:30pm-7:00am and only wakes up once around 3:30am

-Is up on all fours and rocking back and forth. She isn't crawling yet but I think she will be by 7 months for sure.

-Loves her Johnny Jump Up

-Giggles and smiles ALL the time

-Is such a happy baby

-Loves watching Marley. She looks at her and laughs. When I get her up from her naps she looks down at the floor to see if Marley has come into her bedroom. It's so cute!!

-She still falls asleep on her own, which is wonderful!

These turned out really cute. I'm so happy with them.

We tried to take some pictures of her in her baby dedication dress this afternoon and this is my favorite one. I'll share the others later.

She is such a sweet baby and we love her so so much!

Kiki's 4th Birthday!!

On Monday, Kearstyn turned 4 years old. I can hardly believe it!! It seems like just the other day I was going over to Ashley's house to meet her for the first time. Kearstyn is full of personality and totally adorable. Monday night, a few of us went to dinner at Mariachi to celebrate her birthday. She was so excited and knew that it was her day. She couldn't wait to get her ice cream and for us to sing Happy Birthday to her. So cute! Unfortunately, they don't give the birthday person a sombrero to wear and they don't sing, so that was a bummer, but we still sang and it was great. 

Happy 4th Birthday, Kiki!!

House Project - Number 2

A few weeks ago we finally had our new septic tank and field lines put in. This is a weird thing to blog about but I want to document it anyways. We didn't take any pictures of them laying the field lines but here are a few of the new tank. 

Next on the list is to get our plans drawn up by an architect.

She's Up and Rockin'

This is Brantley's new trick. She is now pulling her knees up under her and rocking back and forth. She's gonna be crawling so soon!! Chase and I have got to start baby proofing the house now.

I hope you enjoy her video and that you're having a good day!!

Number 5...Check

Number 5 on my list of 101 things to do it 1001 days was to grow my hair out as long as I could. I don't have a very good picture of my hair long and I forgot to take one before I went to get my hair cut. Oops! You can tell it's pretty long even though it's curly from the picture on the left. It was taken on Father's Day. The picture on the right was taken yesterday but it's not a great picture of my hair cut either. Still you get the jist and I'm checking it off my list.

Cornhole Tournament

Yesterday afternoon, Chase, BR and I went out to Shadowlake Driving Range to meet up with some friends so the guys could play in a Cornhole tournament. We had a really great time and the guys are already talking about going back. There was also talk about making their own cornhole boards and corn bags (that's my job).

Chase and Sam were a team, Rob and Morris were a team and Trevor and Chad were a team. Trevor and Chad went out early, then Chase and Sam lost to Rob and Morris. We had to leave so I'm not sure who ended up winning the tournament. Maybe Marcie can comment and let me know. 

It was extremely HOT out there but we survived. BR was loving her sippy cup with water in it. Thank goodness because she was sweating like a little piglet. ha! Marcie was very sweet with BR and loved holding and playing with her. Thanks for loving on her Marcie!

She the picture on the bottom where she's on all fours. Yep, she's really starting to get the hang of it. She even rocks back and fourth when she's up like that. So cute!! Devin was there playing music outside the restaurant and Tiffany came by for about 30 minutes but then had to get back to studying.

We really had a great time and can't wait to do it again!
