Hannah Kate 3 Months

Hannah turned 3 months old a couple of days ago and I can't believe it. She is still a very good baby. She hardly ever cries, but today when I was trying to get a good picture she was not having it. I had to go ahead and post them, because no one ever gets to see this side of her. Ha!!

This picture really makes me laugh because, Addie looks scared to death. She hates for Hannah to cry. She usually tries to soothe her by giving her paci or telling her it's otay!!! We have recently noticed that when Addie is singing Hannah will stop crying or whatever and watch Addie, it's so cute. I hope these 2 are very close growing up.

Hannah updates:

• Sleeping all night most of the time.
• Nursing about every 3 hrs during the day. Usually take a bottle on the weekends while I'm at work 3-4 ounces every 3 hrs.
• Wear size 1 diaper and 3 month clothes.
• You look so little, but have the chunkiest legs!
• You are always in a good mood. You only fuss when your hungry or want to be rocked to sleep.

I started back to work this past month, so on Friday nights you and Addie usually spend the night with Granna and P-paw.. I know that you will love them as much as Addie does. I'm trying to enjoy every minute with you, because you are growing and changing so fast. Your dad and I love you so much!!

I got a new video camera for Christmas and I'm trying to post the cutest video of Hannah. So, as soon as I can figure it out I will put it on here!!

Christmas Weekend Recap 2010

We had a very busy Christmas. I had to work all weekend so that made things a little hectic. Addie is exhausted and it is probably going to take her a few days to recuperate. We went several different places over the weekend and I tried to take a few pictures at each stop.

We started our weekend Friday afternoon at Mark's grandparents. Addie loves playing with their dogs and Savannah.

After that we headed to my grandmother's house. She had gotten a play together telling the Christmas story. Addie liked the puppets and listened better than I thought she would.

Mark set Santa presents up while I was at work. When I got home Saturday morning I got everyone out of bed. At first Addie wasn't sure what to think and then I think she realized that all this stuff in our living room was for her to play with. We also got Hannah a few things even though she didn't have a clue what was going on.

After Santa at our house Mark took the girls to his moms for breakfast. I stayed at home so that I could get a couple of hours of sleep. I'm hoping Granny JuJu took pictures for me. She got the girls a Barbie Jeep and Addie is dying to get to ride it.

For lunch we headed to my parents house. We opened presents and then ate a late lunch. Addie was a little ill by this point and didn't even want to open her gifts. Mark had to drive me to work last night because of the weather/road conditions, so they all spent the night at mom and dads.

We all got a lot of great stuff this weekend. I can't wait to go through all of it again (it is all still piled in my living room) and see everything.

Also while we where at Granna and Ppaw's house this weekend Addie played in the snow a little bit. Petee aka Josh took her riding on the 4-wheeler and Ppaw taught her how to make and throw snowballs. Ha!!

Also here is a picture of some cute Rudolph cupcake that I made one night last week. I love the way they turned out and they where a hit at the family get-together.

Merry Christmas

We have had a great Christmas, but a very busy one. I have lots to share. Hope to get everything loaded soon. We are truly blessed.

Hope everyone has enjoyed their holiday!!!!

Sants's Helper

Addie had been helping me wrap presents!!!!!!!

Daddy and Daughters

This past Saturday Mark and the girls had a date, well kinda. Mark's cousin Amanda got married and Mark took the girls. I had to wotk and didn't get to go with them. (see the phone in Addie's hand?) It's and old cell phone and she carries it everywhere!

Christmas Card Photos

Here are a few of the pictures that I took for our christmas card.

This is the one I ended up using!!!

Potty Trained

I think I can safely say Addie is potty trained. She still has an occasional accident, but other than that is doing great. She is still sleeping in a diaper at night and will continue to do so for a while. Potty training her has been quite an experience. She would do great for a few days and then would regress for a day. I know she is still young so I try to be patient when she has an accident, but sometimes I think her accidents are to get a little attention. HA!

I'm so glad we went ahead and tackled this. I don't know how much longer I could have afforded diapers for 2!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Hannah's 2 Month Check-Up

Hannah went to the Dr. yesterday and he said she looked great. She weighs 10lbs. 13oz. (50th percentile) and is 22.5 ins (75th percentile).

She had to get 3 shots and 1 oral vaccine. She did pretty good.

Mark came with us since I had to work the night before. He didn't want me to drive after being up all night.


P.S. Addie went to MDO yesterday and when I picked her up they told me that she didn't nap, instead she was turning flips on her mat! I was so embarrassed!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Addie Grace!!!!

I don't know where the past 2 years have went. Addie has changed our lives so much.

We had her a small family party thurs. night. She loved all the attention and gifts.

I got her cake from Baskin Robbins and it was sooo good. I served BBQ with fixings for supper, so I didn't have to do a lot of cooking.

She was really excited about blowing out the candles and everyone singing to her.

Mark helped her open her presents, so I could take pictures. My dad aka P-paw videoed the party for us.

She loved all of her prizes!!

Addie where are you:

• You weigh 26 lbs. You wear 18-24 month or 2t clothes. and size 6 or 7 shoe.
• You are potty training, but still sleep in a diaper (size 3)
• Your favorite drink is chocolate milk and your favorite food is chicken
• You love Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora, and Diego
• Most of the time you sleep all night in your bed.

Your dad and I love you so much. You bring us so much joy. We have a hard time disciplining you with a straight face. HA! You love your little sister so much it melts my heart. I can't imagine my life without you!!!

Hannah Kate 2 months old

I can't believe it has been 2 months already. Hannah is the best baby. She is so laid back and calm. She hardly ever cries, only when she wants to snuggle or eat.

I started back to work this weekend and I missed her so much, and Addie too!(of course) I think Hannah was pretty good for Mark and Addie gave him a run for his money. HA!!!

Hannah where are you:

• You weigh around 10lbs. We go for your 2month check-up next week, so we'll find out for sure then.
• Your wear size 1 diapers and are starting to fit really good in o-3 month clothes.
• You usually on get up once a night to nurse and nurse every 3 hrs during the day. You will take a bottle but prefer to nurse.
• The past couple of weeks you have started smiling when someone talks to you.

Your sister adores you. We can't leave you where she can get to you. She constantly wants to kiss (tiss) you and love (wuv) you. I know this want last forever so we are enjoying now.

Hannah you are such a blessing to our family. Your dad and I love you so much!!

SCBC Women's Retreat

This weekend my church had a women's retreat on pray. It was such a blessing to be able to go because this is my last weekend off before I start back to work. We had 32 women there and I believe God blessed everyone that came. We have so much sickness and other things going on inside our church family and to be able to spend time in prayer together was so awesome. The presence of God was definitely there.

All of these women are so much fun. I love that even though there is a variety in age we can all laugh and worship together. I wish I had taken more pictures, but I kept forgetting to take them.

Hannah tagged along this year. I just wasn't quiet ready to be away from, especially since this is my last weekend with her. Big Nana got to go, so we ended with four generations there. Hannah was so good, you hardly even knew she was there.

I grew closer to God and learned so much this weekend. These ladies blessed my heart with some of the things they shared.

P.S. Addie stayed with her Granny Ju-Ju and I'm sure she didn't miss us!! Ha!

Makeover

A special thanks to Candace over at http://ourloveremainsthesame.blogspot.com/ for the blog makover. I love it and really appreciate her doing this for me. I don't think I would have ever figured it out. Thanks Candace!!!

Yo Gabba Gabba

Addie absolutely loves Yo Gabba Gabba. We have recorded several shows and we watch them daily. We also watch it in the car and at Granna and Ppaws house. She knows the words to almost every episode. I now it's a little much, but it is the only thing she ever wants to watch. Ha!

About a month ago Granny JuJu bought tickets for us to go see Gabba live. Addie was in Gabba heaven!

She had so much fun singing and dancing.

I think DJ Lance is her favorite.

Host of Christmas Past

Today mom and I took the girls to the Host of Christmas Past in town. They where both so good. Addie had a lot of fun and Hannah didn't mind just hanging out in the stroller or being carried.

Addie wasn't to sure about this elf! Ha!

Hannah was so content.

Addie loved the reindeer, but hated waiting in line.

And then there was the blow up things. She absolutely loved this slide. They also had a bounce house and she liked it until they let the bigger kids in there with her.

Her face was so funny the first time she went down.

She looks so tired in this picture and she was. We left not long after I took this and she was asleep as soon as we got in the car.

We had so much fun! Thanks Granna for all your help!!!

Changes

I'm currently trying to make changes with my blog. It's definitely a working progress. Ha!

Back

After many months and a lot of changes I'm going to give blogging another shot. Since my last post Hannah Kate has been born and Addie Grace has entered the terrible two's. My life has become very busy, but I'm going to try to get back to blogging so family and friends can keep up with our crazy life. No doubt I have lots to blog about.

Addie has grown and changed so much in the past 6 months. She is a very active, stubborn toddler. We are currenlty trying to potty train her and she is doing pretty good.

Our newest addition Hannah Kate, born 9-29-20 @ 10:00. She weighed 7lbs 3oz and 18.5 ins long. Hannah is such a joy in our lives, she is always so content. She is starting to smile back at us and respond to our voices. She only gets up once a nght and sleeps well during the day also.

She is 6 wks old and I can't believe how fast time has flown by. She is growing so fast and fitting in her 0-3 month clothes much better.


I still can't believe that this is my life.

Addie is so in love with Hannah and drives us crazy trying to love on her. I know this phase won't last long.

I am just trying to enjoy every moment with these two. I know that it won't be long and Hannah will be Addie's age and things will be even more cazy then.

It's a

GIRL!!!!!!

15 Month Check-Up

Last week Addie went to the Dr. for a well baby visit. she weighs 21lbs and is 31ins. He said everything thing looked great and she was right on track, except she needs to loose the PACI!!! She nor I where excited to hear that, but next week we may work on trying to get rid of it.

Addie is developing her own little personality. She plays well by herself and would probably prefer to play by herself. Her favorite toys are her bath toys. She loves lining them up and taking them from one person to the next. She has a pretty good appetite, but it changes from day to day.

We went Tuesday to get a haircut ( I will post pics later). She hated it, but we where glad to get rid of her mullet. She now has a little bob and it's more curly.

I can't believe how much she has grown and changed in the past year. She is at such a fun age so I'm just trying to enjoy every minute that I get to spend with her.

1st Prenatal Visit

Last week I had my first prenatal Dr. visit. They estimated by due date to be Oct. 6. They did an ultrasound and the baby's heart rate was 166/min. Everything looked good!! We are looking forward to finding out what the baby is. Sometimes I think it is a girl because I feel the same way I did with Addie and other times I'm positive it's a boy cause things are different than with Addie.

Addie is continuing to learn new things everyday. Mark and I love to sit and watch her at night, she is so busy. We are ready for spring. She loves to be outside, so hopefully after this cold front moves through we can start spending our afternoons outside. She has no idea that in about 8 months her world is going to change (for the better)!

Busy Week, Busy Addie

I'm finally catching my breath from the past week. We went/had to go somewhere everyday. Valentine's Day was so much fun!!! Addie loved all of her presents! Wed. we went and had lunch with Rikki, Randa, Riley, Layne, and Luke. The babies where all very good. Thursday we went to Huntsville to the hospital to meet Baby Noah (Margaret and Jake's new addition). He is such a precious little boy. I forgot my camera, so I didn't get a pic, but I promise to post one soon.

Here is Addie hoping her Valentine gift. We got her a few things and so did her grandparents.

She was so excited!!

Addie plays very well by herself. She keeps herself entertained with her things and mine.

She loves opening the mail.

Helping out in the kitchen.

And taking care of her babies!

Monday we got to play outside in the snow a little bit, and she had a blast.
