Christmas with the Case's

I can't believe Christmas 2011 is over.
We had a great Christmas filled with lots of family and laughter. Santa came and blessed the kids with way more than they ever need. They are loving everything they have :)
We spent Christmas eve morning with my family. Christmas eve night with Julian's family. Then Christmas day we did our own Christmas at our house and my parents came over. We then went to church and over to my grandma's for the rest of the day. My husband and I both have big families so both days were filled with lots of people and fun.

Cooper is just so sweet. He says the most hilarious things. He always has us laughing. Just a few weeks ago my brother was here eating dinner and Cooper was so excited and hyped up that he was here with us that he threw his food. He of course got into trouble. He cried because he was embarrassed. So after talking to him about it I said "I'm sorry I got mad at you, but you need to listen to mommy. I love you".... He says nothing back. I say "can you say I love you back"? So he leans in as if he's going to give me a kiss and says to me in whisper "no I can't". HAHAAA, I seriously cracked up. It was so funny.
He thinks he's monster and he says "I'm a monster" and he growls at whoever is nearby. Even if we are out in public. I do laugh but at the same time I'm like "Stop it Cooper, please don't growl at those people".
Blakely started to full on crawl and is even pulling up into the standing position all by herself. She isn't cruising yet but she is pulling up on furniture and standing there. I always stand there really close by just in case she is about to topple over.
What a big girl she is. She is sleeping better, still having issues sleeping through the night though. She still laughs out loud at her big brother. They are like best buds.

I hope you all had a great Christmas as well and a very happy new year!

Christmas with the Case

Picture post. From November to December.

Here are some pictures from the past month or so. Watch as the kids grow. :)






















That's all the way from a week before Thanksgiving to now. Whew. I really have got to post more often. That was a lot of pictures.

December 15th 2011, Blakely is 7 months old today!

Happy 7 months sweet girl!!!

Time is flying but when do I not say that, Isn't it always passing by to quickly?

You are such a light in our life. What a happy smiley lovable cuddly baby love you are.
I love you more and more every day and I don't even know how its possible to love you more. Just when I think I'm more in love than a mommy can be I fall more in love with you.
Your bright blue sparkly eyes, Your big huge dimples :) Your humongously adorable cheeks, your sweet voice when you talk to us, Your smiley happy personality that is so often surrounding us. You are by far the most cuddly baby I've ever known. You will lay your head down on our chest or neck at any chance you get and you leave it there to cuddle with us for as long as we need you to. Truly such a sweetie!
You have started to get a tiny bit of a diva attitude. You prefer to be in a room where everyone is. You want to go wherever mommy, daddy and brother go. You are a people person. You love to play in the bath, you love toys and chewing on anything you can get your hands on. Still no teeth though.
Your trying to crawl. You can rock like your going to do it but you only crawl backwards for now. You just started to eat baby food and you LOVE it. Why am I not surprised. You have always been a really good eater :)
You weigh around 20 lbs and you are very tall. You wear 9-12 month shirts and some of them are a little snug so you might actually really be in 12 month shirts. You wear 12-18 month pants. You are in a size 3 shoe as of this week.
You sit up like a champ and go from sitting to crawl position and back to sitting. You want to pull up on furniture so bad, just this week you have been trying to pull on anything you can but your little feet just aren't sturdy enough yet to hold you straight up and you usually end up toppling over before you even get close to standing :(. Sad but cute.
You absolutely ADORE your big brother Cooper. He is your best friend and you smile and laugh at him anytime he's near you. You love him so much and you light up at the sight of him.
He love you so much back, always going to check on you or making you laugh by leaning over you and blowing on your tummy. What sweeties you guys are.
Next week we will celebrate your very first Christmas. We are so blessed and happy to have you in our lives Blakely. Mommy and daddy and Cooper and all of our family loves you more than words.

God: Thank you for the beautiful blessings you give to me and my family. Our beautiful children! They are such a wonderful gift to our lives. Sweet Blakely turns 7 months old today and we are so happy to have her happy smiling face gracing our every day. God please watch over our sweet children keeping them safe from harm alive and well, and again thank you so much for them :)
Please help Julian and I to be the wonderful parents that our babies deserve to have.
AMEN!

Lastly, I will be posting pics of both kids very very soon. I have so many new ones I'm just going to do a giant picture post :)
