Just some pics!

I don't have too much time to write but I wanted to at least put up some pics!

Gabe on the carousel in Myrtle Beach

Hannah napping with her dolly

Gabe and Hannah in their matching PJ's....whenever I get Gabe's out he runs to get Hannah's and he won't wear his unless she's wearing hers!! She really likes her big brother, she's pulling him to come back to her in the picture above

Hannah is 5 months now!

• Loves big brother and nobody can make her laugh like him
• I would almost say she's down to 1 nap a day but she occasionally takes one in the am for about 30min
• weighs about 14lbs
• Is well aware that she doesn't have to be left alone now so Mommy wears her during the day
• Does not want to miss out on anything, is easily distracted while eating and has a hard time sleeping anywhere but home (and it has to be pretty quiet..which can be tough with Gabe) she didn't even nap in Myrtle Beach, luckily she was still as happy as could be!

Gabe found the baby powder and decided to shake it all over the living room

Gabe at 2.5 yrs

• Still doesn't talk a whole lot but has made progress! Has speech once a week and she says he's just going to be a late talker
• Loves his sister and has become pretty gentle with her
  
• Loves trains and cars!!
• His favorite thing to eat (actually drink) right now is his morning smoothie and I've been sneaking veggies into it and he still likes them
• Loves to play outside with Kai and Daddy
  

4 months...

Hannah at 4 months.....

• Dr's appt isn't until next week so I'm not sure of her current weight but I would guess around 14lbs (she's long and petite..although she does have some rolls in the thigh area!)
• I could listen to her coo all day...such a sweet sound!
• Has a "real" laugh now and is pretty ticklish under her arm ( I was taking off her onesie one day when she started cracking up everytime I touched under her arm)
• Loves to stare at her daddy!
• She slept better a month ago LOL....she only eats once from 7pm -630am but she does wake up an additional one or two times not sure why but honestly it doesn't bother me too much because I know this time will not last forever and I want to take advantage of the snuggle time even if it leaves me a little sleep deprived!
• Due to her length wears mostly 6 months clothes
• Doesn't like the car (which should make for an interesting trip to SC in a couple weeks)
• Rolls from tummy to back
• Has beautiful blue eyes
• likes to play with her feet
  
• is growing up too fast
•

And what's a post without a picture of Gabe (and his new haircut courtesy of Daddy)

Mommy and her Sous Chefs

I decided to make more pumpkin cookies the other day since I can't have dairy products, these delicious little treats help with the sweet tooth (although they are more like a bread)










Gabe was very excited about helping, he took his job very seriously!






This little girl just supervised and chatted up a storm, it won't be long before she's trying to boss her big brother around.






























Finished product....DELICIOUS..and yes they are already gone but in my defense I did send a good amount to the office with EJ

The Lamb and the Soldier!

Here are our little munchkins in their costumes! Gabe was a little soldier boy, however it was 85 degrees out so we didn't put him in the fleece lined shirt regardless he was a cutie!















I swear this child is always smiling, and yet I still can't get enough! She's laughing now, especially when we play peek-a-boo!

Pumpkin Patch

Playgroup met at the pumpkin patch and I was able to get a couple cute shots of Hannah and Gabe!

Time sure does fly!

Hannah is 3 months today, today also happens to be my mom's birthday....Happy Birthday Mom/Nana!!
It seemed like only yesterday I gave birth to this precious little girl.

• She loves to talk/coo especially when she's getting her diaper changed
• Today is her first full day in cloth diapers...so far we love them
• Poor thing is also struggling with her first cold :-(
• I've discovered over the past few days, at the courtesy of the pumpkin bars I made, that although not nearly as bad as her brother she does have a little issue w/dairy
• She is trying so hard to laugh, and the sound that comes out instead is adorable
• Smiles at everyone and everything
  
• She is grasping at her toys
• She finds her brother very entertaining
• She has narrowed her naps down to 3x a day
  

Gabe is also sick, which is probably how Hannah got sick, he does like to share with his sister :-)
Last week Gabe had his first official appointment with his speech therapist, he has had several tests and most say he's just a late talker but they recommend speech to help get him started so we'll see :-) The good thing is that he has scored above average on his auditory comprehension so they think once he starts really talking he'll pick it up quickly. She comes to the house once a week for an hour and he seems to enjoy it especially since she brings new games for him to play

My two little sicklings

Hannah in her cute little diaper!

Gabe hanging out with his sister in her bumbo

Gabe and Daddy!

I was just looking at my last post and Gabe was sick then too...poor thing :-(

Poor little man is not feeling too good today

and little miss Hannah is having a fussy day

probably due to what is under this pink camo band-aid

Yesterday was Hannah's two month check up and the doc said she looks great and is beautiful! She was 12lbs even and has grown 3.5 inches already!
