Yet another monthly update

These once a month updates I promise will be more frequent when things slow down (which hopefully will be soon) but here's an update from the last month or so!

Chris and I left the kiddos for 4 whole days and went to Las Vegas with Chris's family for a little vaycay! It was so relaxing and so incredibly hot there! Besides the fantastic company and the hilarious Terry Fator show was my OMG moment when I met Giada!
Yes, I am that annoying fan who wanted to take a selfie. Chris and I were sitting in the lobby of the Aria waiting for Chris's brother and dad, talking with my mom on the phone getting an update on the kids when in walks Giada. I said to my mom, "OH MY GOSH GIADA JUST WALKED IN!" I promptly hung up and made Chris go do a walk by to make sure it was her. I know...I am that girl and not ashamed to admit it. Once it was confirmed, I made my way over, professed my love for her, and asked to take a picture. She could NOT have been nicer, more gracious, or more humble. I'm such a dork (does anyone even say dork anymore?), I know. Celebrity sightings aside, we had a great trip :)

Camden is almost 8 months old and has officially become the busiest baby on the planet. He is almost just as fast as Laila in his walker, and can literally run all over the house. He rolls up to whatever Laila is playing with to torment her and take her toys, run down the hall to take the nightlight out of the outlets, opens the kitchen cabinets, tries to chew on the garbage can, and chases the dog. I am so in for it when he's officially mobile and am savoring these last few weeks where he's not crawling. 

 That being said, Cam is such a sweetheart, loves his sissy and his doggy, and is humongous. He weighs 23 lbs and wears size 18-24 month clothes.
Laila turned two on August 4th. How in the world do I have a two year old already?
We celebrated the evening of her birthday just our little family, and will have a little lunch party on Saturday with our families. Laila is talking so much! She says 3-4 word sentences, and the things she comes up with is pure comedy. She is silly, sweet, kind, and nurturing. Even when she randomly sticks her feet in her brothers face and says, "Stinky toes!" or has a complete meltdown because Camden is too close to whatever precious toy she is playing with. She insists on "One more kiss" at least 3 times before anyone leaves or goes to bed. She loves minions, anything Toy Story related, playing mommy, and hats. The girls loves her accessories ;)

In the last month we also celebrated our dear friend Allyson at her baby shower (can't wait for baby Rose!) and are getting all the loose ends of moving tied up. We move a week from Sunday. Which means I will once again be buried in boxes, but this time while chasing a crazy driver and laughing at the antics of my big TWO year old baby girl. Even though it'll be crazy, we are beyond excited and are counting down the days like a kid counts down Christmas!

Thanks for being patient for posts and for coming back to check up on our crazy little life!
