Hair cut

Yesterday I went to my good friend Valerie to get my hair done. I decided to bring Gracie with me to get her hair cut too. I want to grow her hair long, but it just needed some cleaning up. This is her 2nd hair cut, but first time in a salon, and she loved it. She was really good while I got mine done and was even better getting her's done. She sat really still, and was just such a big girl. It makes me sad that she is getting so big, but I have to admit, it is lots of fun doing girls stuff together.

The End

My sleepy family

This morning I came home from work (8AM) and found my entire family in my bed! I assumed that meant Dan had a rough night with the girls, but he said they both slept great, just wanted to cuddle. I didn't want to wake anyone, so I went to Gracie's bed to sleep. =)


The End

Rice Cereal

Well Hannah has been showing lots of interest in us eating, so today I decided to start solid foods. I started with rice cereal and I let Gracie give the first spoonful so I could get a picture. As expected most of the cereal was everywhere but inside Hannah's mouth. She didn't quite know what to do with it, but will get it with practice. Even with the sweetness of breast milk, rice cereal is still nasty, so I think I might start some veggies soon. Enjoy the pics.

Such a good big sissy!

The End

5 Months

Well Hannah is now 5 months and is starting to get very busy. She rolls all over the place, and never stays in one spot. She is sitting up for a few short moments and then falls over, but is practicing. She also found her feet this month. If her feet aren't in her mouth, then her socks are after she pulls them off with her mouth. It's so cute! She is still our VERY happy little girl, smiling and giggiling at everything. Gracie enjoy's making her crack up, and its so nice to see them developing a close relationship already.

The End

2.5

This month Gracie turned 2 1/2!! Where is the time going??? Miss Gracie.....where do I begin! She is a typical 2 year old, starting to talk back, becoming sneaky, and figuring out how to work us. She cracks us up everyday. Her vocabulary amazes us everyday, she just knows so much, its crazy. We really have to be careful what we say. The other day, Hannah was crying and she yelled in the car, "Hannah SHUT UP!" YIKES!!!! It was a wake up call for me. I felt horrible.
She is so girly. Se loves nail polish, jewelry and wearing shoes, and taking 3 pairs of shoes with her everywhere she goes in a little bag. She also tells me what shoes to wear almost everyday. She is also quite the tomboy. (YES! Thats my girl!!) She loves baseball, basketball and soccer, and is a STUD!
She is addicted to Sesame Street and loves all the characters. She has all the characters as stuffed animals, and a few weeks ago she was loving band-aids, and put band aids all over them, and then last week she was putting cookie monster and Elmo and her Nemo in Time Out! It was hilarious!
She is starting to open up and becoming less shy. She loves to sing and dance, she knows a ton of songs that she can sing by herself, and she loves to watch Dancing with the Stars, and dances the entire time its on. Its quite tiring. I could really go on and on about her. She brings us so much joy. She is becoming such a beautiful little girl! Thank you God!

I almost forgot to say that SHE's POTTY TRAINED!!! WOO HOO!!!!!! buying only one size diapers is very nice on our wallets. =)

THE END

4 months

So this month Hannah turned 4 months old!! She has done so much within the last 2 months. At 10 weeks she started rolling over and scooting. YIKES! (Way too early if you ask me) She is just always moving and wiggiling. She is ALL smiles and giggles, not a serious bone in that girl's body. If you look at her, and give her a little attention, she is all yours, and will give you the BIGGEST smile. She is such a joy in my life. She absolutley loves her big sister. Graice is the only one that can make her crack up at any given moment. Gracie finds it funny to make Hannah laugh, and it is so cute to watch them interact with eachother. I feel sometimes they have their own language. Hannah had her 4 month Dr. visit and she is doing just great! She weighs 12lbs 4 ounces, and is 23.5 inches long. She is growing pretty much at the same pace as Gracie, except she is about an inch shorter. The Dr. says she looks like a 6 month old, because she is almost sitting up, following objects well, grasping objects with a purpose and so on. The Dr. diagnosed Hannah with excema on her back and legs. =( This puts her at risk for develping allergies later on, which is a bummer. I pray that she doesn't, I know how tough allergies can be. Otherwise Hannah is doing great.

We busted out Gracie's excersaucer for Hannah and she loves it. She just cant touch the bottom, which frustrates her, so I put a pillow under her, so she can stand. I think that wraps up Hannah's 4th month. She is so happy and healthy! Praise God! Enjoy the pics of our baby girl.



Exersaucer time!
