Thanksgiving 2012

The Wolfe family spent a wonderful Thanksgiving in Norristown with Jimmy's family. Thanksgiving day was spent with Mackenzie and Isla's Nana, PopPop, Great Gran, and Cousins Michelle, Matt, and Gavin! Gavin will be two in January so needless to say Mackenzie had a blast with him! They ran around outside, pushed each other in the toy car, and at the end of a very messy turkey dinner took a much needed bath together! Isla also enjoyed meeting all of her family! The next day we had another great visit from Aunt Nancy, two Uncle Jeff's, Aunt Bon, Uncle Rick, Great Granma, and cousins Josh, Danielle, and their two little boys Quinton and Collin. Once again Mackenzie had a blast with her cousins who played a game of catch with one another and had a little pajama party when the night was coming to an end! Isla once again enjoyed the loving arms of her family and was a perfect angel showing off her big smile! The most fun they had was spent with their Nana and PopPop who smothered them with hugs, kisses, and the occasional tickle! We have so much to be thankful for this year, but the one that tops the list is our two beautiful daughters and the families who love them as much as we do! Happy Thanksgiving!

Fun times in the Burg!

It seems like we have been all over the map these past couple of weeks and I finally found some time to write a post! We recently went down to Blacksburg for Miss Bellamy's 2nd birthday and Mr. Beck's beautiful baptism. We were so lucky to get to spend an entire week at MomMom and PopPop's where the girls got to play with their two favorite cousins! Mackenzie and Bellamy were like two peas in a pod, chasing after one another and screaming with delight at the fact of just being together. Isla and Beckham were equally adorable as they took lots of snoozes together on their blankets. The girls played on Bellamy and Beckham's swing set, turned PopPop's bar room into their own personal playroom, and became their mommies little models for Christmas pictures! The topping on the cake was getting to spend some time with their Great Aunt Anita! It was so nice having my aunt there and introducing her to the newest grand niece and nephew. Isla especially loved her as she got the gold medal for rocking her back to sleep during the church service for Beckham's baptism! We all cherished the time we spent with one another and can't wait for even more excitement come Christmas time! Happy 2nd Birthday Bellamy and God bless Beckham Matthew! :-)

18 Months & 2 Months

Mackenzie Amelia- 18 months

I have heard parents say over and over again, how fast "time flies" when you have children. I never really grasped that concept until now. Mackenzie is now a year and a half old and all I can say is time is flying by! In such a short amount of time she has gone from an newborn, to a baby, to now a full of life little toddler. She is changing so quickly, that I have to remind myself to stop and take in all the beautiful innocence that surrounds me daily. She has become more imaginative with her play, more expressive with her likes and dislikes, and is more active then ever! She is picking up words left and right and still has a love for books, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and of course Ducky! With each passing day you see the love she has for her sister grow stronger and stronger which is truly an amazing site to witness. She wakes up in the morning asking for "baby" and repeatedly says "Hi, Isla" while she gently rubs her head. We could not be more proud or more in awe of this sweet, bright, and lively little girl.

Weight: 20 lbs. 9 oz (5th percentile)

Height: 30" (25th percentile)

Favorite Food: Chicken nuggets & yogurt (because there is a baby on the container!)

Favorite Toy: Ducky

Favorite Book: Where's Mickey?

Favorite Activity: Chasing Lupa, Reading, and kissing baby Isla

Fun Fact: Mackenzie has found a new love for swinging on the swing set! She wasn't to sure about them a couple months ago, but at her cousins house last week she became obsessed with swining! She loves it so much we literally had to tear her away from it after over an hour of straight swinging!

 

 

Isla Marie- 2 months

Again, time is flying by! Two months old already, really?! Miss Isla is doing incredibly well. She is growing like a weed and is still the most content peaceful little girl. She barely makes a peep and just loves to cuddle up next to you. She is smiling up a storm which we absolutely love. The minute she hears one of our voices the biggest grin falls upon her face and your heart can't help but melt! You can tell she gets a kick out of her big sister too who loves to to keep her company while she does tummy time. Miss Isla brings so much joy into this house, it truly is amazing. We feel much more complete as a family now that she is here and are just so proud of the two little beauties we are raising! Happy 2 months, Ladybug!

Weight: 10 lbs. 12 oz. (50th percentile)

Height:  21" (25th percentile)

 

Favorite Food: Milk!

Favorite Toy: Her big sister

Favorite Activity: Smiling

Milestones: Smiles, can bear some weight on legs, starting to vocalize by cooing, holds head up for short amount of time.

Fun Fact: She has taken on the nickname of Smiley Isely (courtesy of Momma) as she literally never stops smiling!

 

 

 

 

We have been so busy these past few days that I have yet to take her 2 month picture. I will post it once we catch our breath! :-)
