8 months


8 months! And still not crawling. :) Baby girl can get around by rolling and scooting backwards. She is still so happy and is starting to love the bottle more than nursing. She's still obsessed with food and putting everything in her mouth. She's the least whiny person in our house at any given time and we just love seeing her personality as it starts to manifest itself. :) Can't believe how big she's getting.






No idea what these sibling photos are going to turn out like anymore. With 3 personalities showing through I have a hard time choosing just a few favorites now...











3 times blessed 🧡

Thanksgiving 2018


We had a nice simple Thanksgiving with Travis' mom and grandparents. It was great to spend time with them. We bought a turkey from Popeyes, which is apparently the only way to go if you're going to eat a turkey. They deep fry it and freeze it so you can take it home and cook it... It was quite good.





The few Stradley siblings who were in town went on a sibling date. Out to dinner and then we had a graham cracker house decorating contest. Some creative results below.


We wore baby out at IKEA the next day.


This is how Tyler likes to do my hair...


Still not crawling forward, but she can certainly back herself up.


Baby girl watching the boys do Yoga. Also, when they do the cool down at the end, Sam always has to hold Travis' hand and it's the cutest.


She's the cutest little sleeper.

Leaf Piles and a Snowman


The boys begged to play in some leaves, but we didn't have any. Thankfully, one of our friends down the street has a ton from their neighbor's huge tree. Sam had a blast and didn't want to leave. Tyler had fun for a few minutes, but wasn't amused after that. Baby just wanted to eat all the leaves.











Tyler got a haircut at the salon and did great. He looks a bit older and I'm not sure I love it, but he's cute no matter what. I went to another Mary Kay party thing and they have a new mask.


We've found there are LOTS of different ways to ride in the grocery carts.


They really are good big brothers.



They have also been so great at playing together lately. It's crazy how grown up they can seem.


Baby girl is all ready for Christmas :)


She is just so content and happy. She doesn't have a great nap schedule due to Sam's preschool and other things that get in the way with 2 older brothers, but even when she's tired, she rarely throws a fit. We couldn't have asked for a better, more chill, cheerful 3rd child.


I was a driver for Sam's preschool field trip to the grocery store. Tyler was thrilled that he got to come along. They got cookies and hot chocolate at the end (which Tyler of course spilled all over himself...) It was fun to go and watch Sam interact with the other kids.



Date night with the baby.



We had our first official snow of the season and it was perfect for making a snowman.
It fell over a few hours later, but it was fun while it lasted.



Saturday afternoon project building shelves in the boy's bedroom so we can put the other ones in baby's room.


I got to take this little girl down to Utah Valley with me while I photographed a wedding.
Grandma and Grandpa got to spend most of the day with her. But man, she is cute.
