Look at those feet!

One of the first things the nurse said when Hannah was born was "Wow she's got some long feet" and since then many people have commented the same.
She hasn't but her feet have already outgrown her 3 month footed PJ's, looks like she's going to have Woolridge feet!

I don't think they look much alike but some do, here is a picture of Gabe when he was about the same age.

Back from NY

We are back in Tally after 3 weeks in NY, we had a great time and I'm happy to report that the kids did GREAT on the drive back. We drove about 9 hours one day and 12 the next, I honestly thought it was going to take us forever with me having to stop and feed little miss Hannah every couple hours but luckily she is a very sufficient eater so we still made great time!!
A couple days before we left the Fall weather was starting to set in (low 70's) and I'm hoping it won't be too long before the same happens here!!! I'm definitely a T-shirt and jeans kinda girl so summertime in FL is not for me :-)

I haven't had a chance to go through all the pics yet but here is one I took yesterday that I think is too cute! Hannah just loves to smile so it's not hard to get her to smile for the camera and Gabe loves an opportunity to say cheese!

This is for the Johnsons....

Well it's no secret that I'm a Yankees fan but my dear dear friends the Johnsons are Red Sox fans so these next two pics are for you guys Go Yankees....love ya!!!

And I couldn't resist adding this pic because I thought she looked adorable!!

Sooo Big!

It's amazing how quickly they grow, I remember feeling like Gabe was getting big fast but it somehow feels even quicker with Hannah. I'm sure the fact that she's the second child could have a lot to do with it, with Gabe I could spend all day holding him if I wanted (which I often did) but it's not as easy to do that the second time around, however we still make sure we get our snuggle time in!! She is a great baby, the poor girl does have some stomach issues which can cause her to get fussy but who can blame her I would be too.

We have been in NY for a week and a half now and Gabe has really enjoyed being able to spend as much time as he wants outside (since I hibernate in the summer in FL LOL) He even went to work with Papa for a couple hours one day..he's all about trucks right now so the fact that Papa has access to all the big tractors and bulldozers is very exciting for him!

Getting ready for bath time...which she loves!!

Long story, let's just say it took longer to calm mommy down than Gabe! but with a butterfly and scooby doo band-aid everything is OK!

This girl does not like her tummy time...this seems to be the only way I can sneak it in

Our "new normal"

We are adjusting pretty well as a family of four! Gabe has definitely had his moments, mostly with being defiant which is probably a combination of the transition and the terrible 2's but I feel as each day goes by that he's getting used to the "new normal" and I'm so proud of him. Hannah loves to sleep (a girl after my own heart!) but she is awake more and more each day so I guess my true test of how I'm handling two kids will start when she spends most of her day awake! The good news is that I don't feel too sleep deprived, don't get me wrong I'm definitely tired but she's doing great at night so I'm only waking up a few times.

It's funny how different Hannah already is from Gabe:

• she likes to sleep, Gabe not so much!
• she's content (for the most part) being held while I'm sitting on the couch, with Gabe you had to be moving while you were holding him - which is so funny because even to this day he hates to sit still :-)

Although he can be rough, I can tell that Gabe is going to be a very protective and loving big brother. He loves to hold her hand and wants to give her a kiss first thing in the morning!



I realize I'm missing a picture of Hannah and Daddy (except for Daddy's hands in the second picture), as soon as I upload them I'll post one!

Hannah Grace!

This beautiful baby girl made her grand entrance into the world on 7/7 weighing in at 7lbs7oz and ironically enough her hospital ID # was 707!


She came just a few days early, at my Dr appt that day they did a non-stress test and decided that she was showing some signs of distress during contractions so since I was already 4cm they wanted to go ahead and admit me and break my water. Thankfully the labor was 12 hours shorter than Gabe's, after 3.5 hours of labor she was here!


We are so thankful to Ashley, Kai, Mark and Karen for helping out with Gabe while we were in the hospital, we could never have done it without you guys (well I guess we wouldn't have had a choice because she was coming one way or another :-) but it definitely put our mind at ease knowing he was in good hands)

Gabe meeting Hannah for the first time!




My Lauren gave birth to her little Blakey the day before Hannah arrived so we were in the hospital together! Here the two are meeting for the first time :-)

Happy Fathers Day!!!!

Your such a wonderful father to Gabe and I know you will be just as wonderful with Hannah! Thank You for being such a great husband...We Love You!
