(Backup) Edisto Beach 2017

We had another wonderful trip to Edisto last week. We stayed at Take Five, the beach house. Perfectly placed in the sound for all to enjoy the calm waters and frequent dolphins. We had a great week. All family members made it this year, even daddy who is only about 2 months post op from his hip replacement. I am so proud of the work he put in to be able to come to the beach. He mastered those stairs quickly! The cousins are fun to watch develop and strengthen their friendships.

Good Morning

They love their sister. When she wakes up in the morning they all say, "Can I go get Lola?!" So we share getting Lola, because momma wants to get her too. And she looks at each one of them as if they hung the moon. So I'd say, she loves them too. 💙

15 months

And she's 15 months. I decided to do the months headband this month because I haven't  done it since 12m. She such a cutie. Seems to enjoy the camera. :) 
Dr. Nelson said she looks great at her appointment. She's grown 1 1/4 inches since her 12 months apt. And she has actually lost a few ounces. But only a few ounces and the doctor isn't concerned.  She still eats like a bird. And actually has decided to be a picky eater. So now its harder to feed everyone. Yes 
Lola is still in the size 5 diaper and 18/24 months clothing. She still gets up about once a night for water and some cuddling. We are enjoying our summer together and I'm afraid august will be a hard transition for both of us. 
She likes to climb on top of things and yell for "daaaa" to come rescue her off. Like the step still in the vstheriomnn. 
Her favorite foods are taco meat, watermelon, shredded cheese, and snack foods. 
She loves to play outside and continues to pick up sticks and rocks. 
She says: bye, momma, dadda, look, hot, out, shakes her head no, signs "all done", 
Her eyes light up and sparkle whenever the boys speak to her. 


(Backup) (Backup) 12 months

Lola Cate is ONE! Fastest year ever. Sweetest thing ever. This past year I have so much enjoyed discovering all the ways Lola is different then boy babies. It's been fun to see how she does things/acts in comparison to the boys.  She comes to me often to just to squeeze  my leg and give me a quick snuggle, the boys never did that! 😊
Lola has been walking for atleast a month. 
She just moved to size 5 diapers
She's wearing size 18-24 months cloths but can still wear a 12m dress. Actually sometimes a 9 months dress too. I've learned girls clothing is sized differently then boys. 
Her shoes size is a 4
She still eats like a bird. She prefers breast milk over anything, I feel like, but my body isn't cooperating well anymore. Soon my milk will be gone, unfortunately. I will continue to feed her as long as my body holds out. 
She has whole milk with each meal and drinks water throughout the day. She loves water. 
Sleeping isn't great. She wakes atleast once a night but occasionally surprises me and sleeps through the night. She does nap well.  No more 13 hour straight nights though. 
Lola says a few words; dadda, momma, no, that, out, hot. 
She points at things and loves to play chase or peepeye still. Picking up rocks and sticks in the yard seem to be fun too. 
She loves those brothers of hers and has them wrapped around her fingers. Well, she has us all wrapped. 
We are so thankful we were chosen to be her parents. She is the perfect ending to our beautiful family.

Soccer season

Luke's soccer season was successful. He became a more skilled athlete, learned more about the game and met some new ppl. He seemed to like his coach. We hope to be able to sign him up for a new season soon. 

Luke played for Furman United - Legends. His team was the wolves. 

Luke is number 10. 
 
Papa came to everyone if Luke's games. Thanks for the support. Papa! Anny made it to his games too. 

 
Throwing the ball in. (I'm sure there is a special word for that)

 


 

(Backup) Lola Cate's birthday party

I cannot believe I forgot to make a post on Lola Cate's first birthday party!
She had an adorable bunny themed birthday party that I had so much fun decorating for. I have a love of bunny rabbits so this was perfect for me. Also, her birthday was a week before Easter this year so she didn't have her first Easter until after her birthday. 
 
She is so girly and we love it!

  
Almost all of the children. 
 
Sweet Maxie Cate Laskis!

 
A little pin the tail on the bunny.

Cupcakes for the kiddos and homemade coconut cake for the adults (it was so good!)
 

 

 
She loved the icing!

Maggie's Cabin

We splurged and rented a cabin for the first family vacation with just us Osborne's. It was fun. The boys definatley enjoyed it. I'm glad we made those memories.  I hope we will be able to do it again next year, but at a new place. I think the boys favorite part was the hot tub. They asked all day long to get in so we had to set limits. And anyone who knows my husband well knows he loves a hot tub at night. Me, I hate them. 😜
Enjoy some pictures from our first family vacation.
