my little man

poor josiah is SURROUNDED by girls:) between me, my sisters, my mom, my grandma, ella kate, miley and his cousin eve, the little guy doesn't stand a chance!! luckily, the 3 men in his life, bill, my daddy and his uncle eric, all have very strong and dominant personalities and a huge power of influence!! i like to think though, that having all these girls around will help him be an amazing husband and daddy one day!! he will know what girls like and what they don't like:) it makes me smile to think about him growing up one day! he is gonna be a little heartbreaker with those big ,blue eyes and dimples:) i love that boy!

anyways, here is a picture of him and baby eve riding together in a single stroller at my mom's house! eve was sitting in his lap, and he liked kissing her head and touching her sweet face... it was precious!!

(sorry that the picture quality is a little bad, it is from the camera on my cell phone.)

we miss daddy..

daddy left super early saturday morning for mexico and wont get home until super late next saturday night. we all miss him terribly! anytime josiah hears the front door open, he runs to it and says, "daddy! daddy!" but gets disappointed to see that it is someone else...ella kate loves when daddy reads to her and tucks her in at night, and i simply just don't do it right! she cried for him the very first night, and i thought to myself... 'this is going to be a loooooong week'. but, however... things are not that bad! ella kate woke up this morning around 1am and came upstairs to my room. she looked and saw that daddy was not in the bed and asked, "momma... where's daddy?" half asleep and dead tired, i told her that he was still in mexico, and she said, "oh, ok..... well then, i'ma need some cheese!!" dear lord... this kid ALWAYS wants cheese! so i got up and walked her back downstairs to her room and told her we could have some cheese in the morning, but right now it was time to go night-night. :)

everyday attire..

so josiah still loves the bucket! it is almost a guarantee that he will 'wear' it everyday:) just like we put on his pants and his socks.... he puts on his bucket!! he actually can wear it and maneuver very well now! he can go up and downstairs, drink his cup, read his books and do puzzles ALL while wearing his new hat:) here are some pics of this morning while we were outside playing! we love our bubba!!

stepping on frogs..

ok, who is surprised that i have another funny bathtub story?!?! well, if any of you know the davis'.... we are sort of a gassy family! (we, meaning, bill and the babies!!) my sister lauren, was telling me of some friends who have taught their little girl a cute phrase to say when she passes gas, and i thought that we could try it with our babies!! so tonight, all wet and lathered up, ella kate passes some pretty loud and humorous gas in the tub. i thought that now was a great time to introduce the new 'saying'!! so i asked, "uh-oh ella kate, did you step on a frog??" (i am laughing as i type this!!) she looks at me like i have completely lost my mind and says, "momma... there are no aminals in da baff tub!! that was just my hiney talkin'!!" and she goes on about her business!!
she is so stinkin' cute!!

5 months old!!

wow!! miley noel is 5 months old today! where does the time go?? she is still just as sweet and precious as she was the day we 'met' her! ella kate and josiah are still in love with her and surprisingly, extremely sweet and gentle with her!! ella kate loves talking to her and making her smile, josiah loves kissing her and poking her in the eyes. he is learning where is eyes, nose, mouth, etc. are and tonight, he found mileys mouth and apparently her hangy-ball thing too!! his chubby little finger was in her throat gagging her!!! oh, brothers!! i am sure he will do worse, one of these days! but we are thankful for our smiley - sunshiney- baby!!! happy 5 month birthday!!

here she is and an outfit that her great grandma nonny gave her.... :)

she was all cute and posing, then she toppled over!! it made me laugh... :)

songs of truth

this week while i was feeding the babies supper, i went upstairs and started their bath. they were both eating yogurt in their seats, and ella kate started singing, "oh, be careful yittle eyes whatchu see, oh be careful yittle eyes whatchu see! for da fodder up-a-bub, uh umm... well, be careful yittle eyes whatchu see" :) it was so cute and we are just learning the song, so i surprised that she new as much as she did! i ran back upstairs and turned the water off, and what i heard next really stopped me in my tracks, "oh be careful yittle heart whatchu trust...." and she kept singing. my eyes weld up with tears! it was the absolute sweetest thing to hear, yet it is so TRUE!! our children these days are bombarded and overwhelmed with secular/sinful influences and they need to gaurd their little hearts and be careful who they trust!! little kids are like sponges, soaking everything in and what better way, then to fill them with the TRUTH... even in songs!! so that was a sweet moment that i wanted to share.... oh, and just a side note... josiah is not quite ready to handle yogurt by himself! however, who is surprised that ella kate " was 'all cream' and did not make a mess:) "

big girl

the other night i was changing into my pj's. ella kate was my little shadow and was hanging out in my room with me. as i put on my comfy pants, she looked at me and said, "momma..... you got big girl panties on?!?! ohhh, GOOD GIRL!!!"
she can always make me smile:)
