Haircut & WWIW

I haven't had a haircut since May! I had crazy pregnancy hormone hair and it was so dry. I was so ready to sit in a chair and let someone else deal with that mess. Normally after I grow my hair out I instruct my hairdresser to chop it off! usually I am so over that I just don't want to deal with it. But, I feel in love with this cut: 

It was probably my addiction to White Collar. But I loved the long layers and the bangs. I know what new mom wants bangs (another thing to take care of)! But they really haven't been that bad and when I washed my hair they didn't get all crazy on me :) So here is my version of this cut:

I am pretty much in love with it and Jesse thinks he got a new wife!

So I haven't been very good about doing this next section which is What I Wore Wednesdays but here it is. Only one outfit this week mostly because I am too busy to take more pictures and my kids are cuter than I am.

Shirt: H&M (Trip to NYC)
Tank: Target Nursing (if you are nursing and you don't have one of these you are missing out.)
Scarf: Express - ancient
Jeans: Old Navy
Boots: Target - been hunting a pair and fell in love with these.

Happy Halloween! Wait till you see my cute kids!

Three Months

Our little princess is 3 months old today. She is getting so big and such a happy baby. 

Weight: Guessing around 13 lbs.

Height: ?

Growing like a weed
Clothes: 3-6 months
Diapers: moving to size 2 :(

What she is up to this month: 

Sleeping through the night 

(been doing this since 2 months but forgot to put it in the post)

talking up a storm

bellying laughing
rolling from her belly to her back
grabbing on to anything she can get her hands on! 

What she loves:
tummy time and her floor mat
she is great at shopping
going to work with mommy
her swing
cute hairbows

What she doesn't love:
Aiden beating her in the head with toys! (not a fun night)
Stuffy nose

We are still doing daily steroid breathing treatments. Her nose gets stuffy if the weather changes just a little bit so I am constantly making sure to get the snot out before it gets to her chest.  Sounds lovely I know.


One Month
Two Months

Currently

Cheering on the Tide!

Loving: Being closer to work. Cutting my drive time from an hour to 35-40 minutes has allowed me to accomplish so much. I am happier when I get home and not exhausted from driving.

Reading: The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf I love how you get the story from each characters perspective.

Watching:  Since we now live with Jesse’s Dad and his fiancé we have been watching a lot move NASCAR and football then normal but it’s pretty exciting. Aiden loves the racecar show – he thinks the replays of the wrecks are new wrecks and it’s so cute to see him get into. Grey’s of coarse with a little Big Bang Theory and HGTV sprinkled in.

Listening to: The new Matchbox Twenty cd, North and my Pandora station is constantly on Lady Antebellum radio.

Thinking about: What I can bless my children with  - What does God want me to teach them? Patience, kindness, gentleness, to love each other. The sermon on Sunday morning got me thinking about this. We can teach them so many things good and bad. I want to make sure that I focus on teaching them the good things – what are my actions, behavior, and words saying to them?

Looking forward to: A haircut!  Very excited to get my hair cut on Wednesday. It’s so long and out of control right now. I would show a picture of the cut I am hoping for but you will just have to wait and see J

Making me happy: My kiddos. We just got Aiden’s first school pictures back and they are so stinking cute.  I just love the little man that he has turned into (most of the time). Felicity is changing daily and her little personality is starting to come out. I love her sweet smiles and happy giggles.

 Thanks Kara for the idea. 

Two Months

* a few days late! 

Weight: 12 lbs 12 oz!

Height: 23 1/2 inches

Our girl is in the 88% for both but she is evenly proportioned!

What she is up to this month: 

Talking and cooing
Sweet little smiles and laughs
Tracking with her ears, eyes, and head
Holding her head up and having control over it's movement.
Trying to roll over! 

What she loves: 

   Anyone talking to her, she really likes if they talk about her hair or eyes! 

This little guy

I never thought my kids would do the pacifier thing - Aiden didn't care for them. But Felicity loves this thing. She isn't dependent on it right now and I am hopeful it will stay that way. It's also helping with her tied tongue. She just loves to cuddle with it and hold it's little legs.

Swinging and being rocked 

She is just such a happy baby - she really loves mostly everything. 

What she doesn't love:

   Being in the carseat and it not moving

 Her vaccines - her little leg was sore most of the day (I know there are people who say don't get them but I am not willing to risk that after what we have been through) 

Her chest is clear and no ear infections!
She will continue daily steroid treatments through the winter months to help prevent another trip to the hospital. We have to be careful with other who are sick since she can catch it and it will go straight to her chest thus leading us back to the hospital.

I can't believe it has been two months. The days have just flown by. 

Here and There

I haven't blogged in a few weeks because I just haven't had the time to be honest. I spent one week making sure Felicity and Aiden got over the horrible infections that were ruling our lives. They are both doing so much better - thank you antibiotics!  Then another week getting back into the swing of things at work and packing for our move which happened this weekend. That's right the Rudolph's are back in Oviedo!! The drive to work took me 40 minutes yesterday morning - it was awesome and put me in the best mood. Driving an hour is just depressing. I realize that it's only 20 minutes less but believe me when I say it makes a HUGE difference. It also only took me 30ish minutes to get home. Getting home before 7, just makes you happy - I even got a load of laundry done.

But with all the moving I've done in my life I know there are things here that I love and things there that I love!

Here:

• Being closer to work, move family time
• There is a POOL in my back yard
• We have great friends and family here
• We are closer to the theme parks again (Yay for SeaWorld passes) 
• The best hair dresser ever! No one else can tame this crazy hair like Todd

There:

• My best friend just had a baby and I wanted to love on him and have play dates. (We will still do this we just don't live around the corner from each other anymore)   

Sweet Little Josiah

• My dad and brother 



Uncle Nae-Nae will even dress up like a pirate for free doughnuts!

•  
• The Target with my favorite Starbucks - they know my order. 
• Our church family
•  Being 5 minutes from the beach

We are excited for this new adventure!
