Baby Moore # 2 | week 14

14 weeks, already?! Baby Moore #2 is the size of a lemon & growing by the day! 

I am thankful the second trimester is here! 
Nausea & extreme exhaustion have finally passed! Thank you, Jesus! It sure is tough not feeling 100% & having to keep up with 7 month old who has learned how to crawl! I'm not even ashamed to say I napped with Avery A LOT the last couple of months! ;)

 So far, this pregnancy has been very similar to my pregnancy with Avery! I have had the exact same symptoms. Of course, most everyone I've talked to thinks I'm having a boy! Funny story...I was really good at putt-putt this year at the beach (I actually won a round against my entire family which I have never done!) which convinced my mom I am pregnant with a boy. Haha! I'm honestly not feeling one way or the other & I honestly don't care what this precious baby is! Being a mom is my most favorite thing & I am so blessed that I get to be a mom to another little one! :)

Happy July, everyone!

a letter to avery | seven months old

Well, little bird, you are officially seven months old!



 This post is a little late because we ventured off to Myrtle Beach last week for our family vacation, but better late than never. :)
You loved it, just like I thought you would! Of course, you napped and ate more than usual (which is about right for vacation) and you loved the water and you especially liked the lazy river. Your cousins loved on you all week. I think they really enjoyed getting to spend 24/7 with you. You were our little 7:00 am alarm clock all week and loved to wake us up by saying "ahh" over and over until we woke up, too. You, my little one, are the most precious thing in this world. Vacation with you was a little challenging, but so much fun! We can say that you have officially put your little feet in the Atlantic ocean now! 
We took you to Family Kingdom and you rode the train with your cousins and daddy. You saw fireworks for the first time and you actually didn't cry! We were super surprised about that because loud noises really seem to scare you! You went to Medieval times and really seemed to like it, for the most part.



I signed you up for a class at The Little Gym for the summer and you absolutely love it! You get to play on balance beams and crawl around on mats. You see bubbles every time we go and those are your favorite thing ever! You get to play with balls and do fun flips. You smile so much when we go! And, you get to do it with some cute baby friends who you love to smile at!

You are starting to crawl and pull up by yourself. You are seriously on the move! You are everywhere now and into everything. You are starting to lean/reach for people when you want them to pick you up or hold you and oh my goodness, it is the cutest thing! You still don't have any teeth, but I think they will be coming soon. < I think I say that every month. :) Your eyes are still blue and your hair is still dirty blonde. You are still in 6 months clothes, but can wear a few 9 month outfits and you are in size 3 diapers. You are taking about 2-3 naps a day and you are sleeping about 9-10 hours at night now! Yay! You are still loving your baby food and you are finally starting to hold your own bottles...well halfway through haha and you love your sippy cups!

You are so full of life! Your smile literally lights up a room. There is absolutely no way to not smile back at you when you get a glimpse of your smile. Your Papa says that even when it is 6:00 in the morning, (which is when I drop you off with Ashton before daycare) you still can make him smile!

We announced to the world that you are going to be a BIG SISTER! I know you have no idea what is in store for you and our little family yet, but I am so excited to see you as a big sister! You will never know life without this new little one and I hope that y'all are the best buddies!



Oh, sweet thing you are the light of our lives. I give you so many kisses and tell you I love you multiple times a day because I want you to know just how loved you are. Some days I still can't believe that I get to be your mom! You are such a joy to us and I have loved every single second of the last 7 months and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you! 
Keep growing big and strong precious girl!

Mommy and Daddy love you so much!
