Fathers Day 28/29 weeks

2009-06-21T17:10:00.000-07:00

Nick just took a couple random pics from Fathers day.. Hailey is getting bigger and bigger. She weighs over 2 pounds now and is moving like crazy. We are getting more and more excited for her to come. Hannah is getting a little more clingy to me; I think she knows something is different. She has a hard time laying on my stomach now and turns around and hits my stomach like she can hit it away!:)

I havent been very good about taking pictures of Hailey... I am 26 weeks and this picture was taken at 25 weeks! i am sooo much bigger this time around than with hannah. Hailey is a lot nicer to me than hannah was though. She doesnt kick me ALL THE TIME like hannah did. She also is sitting a lot higher which is so much more comfortable. We are so excited for Hailey to get here! It will be so fun to have two little girls. They will be 18 months apart which will be challenging at first but will be awesome in the long run. i will try and be better about posting pictures but can't promise anything. The life with a one year old and being pregnant is a very tiring one but I wouldn't want it any other way!

Hannah is already 15 months old. I cant figure out how to do this blog and update it more. It takes 15 minute to load one picture so.... Here is the one i decided to load and it will probably last for 3 months!:) She is walking and talking like crazy. hannah is not afraid of anything (well except being away from her mommy) but she is fearless when it comes to walking, running, the water, eating, animals, etc. Thank goodness she has tough skin or else she would be crying every other minute. Hannah loves to talk and will repeat anything you say to her and ask her to say. My favorite words of hers is pretty and peach. She is so much fun and a bundle of energy. She still does not like staying on a schedule. Yesterday she took a one hour nap in the morning and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon and today she is deciding to sleep almost 3 hours for one nap, and will probably want to go to sleep for a half an hour this afternoon. no matter how hard i try it just doesnt seem to work to keep her on a schedule. She is our sweet and crazy little girl

Hannah walking!

2009-04-17T20:19:00.000-07:00

Hannah is starting to walk but thinks it is funny to fall on her face. She is doing really well though trying to walk on her own.

Some of Christmas!

2009-01-14T16:38:00.000-08:00

These are some pictures from Christmas. I still have to get some of them off of my camera from Wenatchee and from oregon so I will update this again.

Hannah with Grandma Holly So sweet. They loved to give each other hugs and kisses. They did it so much that Emma gave hannah her cold! It was worth it though.
They loved these singing snowmen. hannah was a little obsessed though. But, Hannah has no rythm at all and when a song comes on she just gets sooo excited and makes weird sounds because she doesn't release her excitement by dancing. Emma on the other hand dances all the time and is a pretty good dancer. I think Uncle John has something to do with it. hannah just watches Emma with a confused look on her face. She is just now starting to clap when she hears music!! So, there is hope that she will have some rythm.
If you look at the picture closely, emmas face is not too happy. She is mad that hannah has one of the "her" dolls, even though she gave them to hannah for Christmas. Hannah held her own though when emma would take them away. It was funny to watch.

Hannah loves the snow. She loved being in this box and it was nice to have her stuck in one place. She is crawling everywhere now and getting really fast
Picking up Auntie Sarah Uncle John and Emma at the airport! WE were soo excited to see them
Christmas Eve night in their new pajamas.
Some of Hannah's friends from Wenatchee Mya and Noah, playing with the singing snowman..
Those were hannah's toys that emma gave her but I think she wanted them back. Emma grabbed them from Hannah as soon as I got them out of the package for Hannah... but Hannah held her own and followed Emma around trying to get them back. She is eight months younger but definately holds her own with Emma.

Christmas Time

2008-12-14T21:41:00.000-08:00

Poor Hannah. She was sooo scared. Every time we go into the mall and she sees Santa she just stares at him. Then we get a little closer..... and .... she starts to cling on really tight and gets really scared. She didnt know she was sitting on his lap!

This was actually the first time. The time up above is the second time we put her on his lap for a picture.

This poor little girl. Hannah got her mommies hair... hopefully sometime it will fill in!

Hannah with her Uncle Justy

Hannah loved the tree. We went to a christmas party for Pappy's work and it was all decorated. She loved it. She is sooo sweet.

Her sweet little outfit!!

Dinner time/ kinda

2008-11-01T11:12:00.000-07:00

Hannah was doing this weird thing when she gets really excited so I brought out the camera and tried to get it on camera but all she wanted to do was smile for the camera.

Hannah and her trick or treating friends
Hannah, Maia, and Noah went to a trunk or treat together. First Pastor John and Amy and the kids along with Nick, Hannah and I went to Red Robin to take our kids out somewhere in their costumes. Then we went to the trunk or treat in a church parking lot. There was a lot of candy but Hannah couldn't have any of that:) She loved being in her stroller going around to everyone smiling as they said "What a cute little dragon. HE is soo cute" and then her daddy would say "SHE is a cute dragon huh?" Thats what we get for not dressing her up as a princess:)

Hannah and her grandma holly.
Her cute little tail!

Hannah loved being a dragon... though most people thought she was a boy, we still loved our little dragon and her sweet smile! She was laughing and loving her outfit. She crawled all around in that thing.

We had a Thrift Party for Real Time our college ministry. So... we got my grandmas old clothes and wore those. It was a lot of fun. There was a box maze, a fun game of price is right and a lot more fun! Hannah loved seeing everyone dressed up but was a little nervous about her dad and his glasses. We looked a little hideous.

A group of our interns and her Uncle Justy
Her first trick or treat on grandma and pappy's front door. She loved it.

Hannah and her bear

2008-11-01T01:20:00.000-07:00

She is soooo sweet

Hannah loves her bear. It is her favorite thing and now that she is getting older she loves to talk to it and just look at it for long periods of time. She has always loved the blanket to go to sleep with but now she loves the bear. It has a little rattle in it and she thinks it is so funny. She sits in her car seat and laughs and laughs at the bear. Grandma Holly sat and just took these pictures of her just staring at her bear.

Family pictures!!

2008-11-01T01:12:00.000-07:00

Some family pics!! Hannah loves taking pictures
She is already 8 months old! We cannot believe it. She is so much fun and is always such a happy baby. She is now eating cheerios and army crawling. She is getting pretty fast too. She moves pretty quick. She is still pretty petite and hasnt really grown too much. We think she is just so incredibly active that anything she eats she burns off right away. She is a really good eater and not picky at all. We think she is about 15 pounds or so.

Hannah going swimming:)

2008-11-01T00:58:00.000-07:00

Grandma Holly was in charge of getting hannah ready for the hot tub. I came out and found hannah with the diaper on her head. She loved it!

Harvest time! Hannah with her pumpkins

2008-10-18T11:04:00.000-07:00

Grandma was taking the picture but this is us up at Smallwoods harvest picking out pumpkins. We had a lot of fun and as you can see hannah loves her pumpkin. Maybe a little too much. I will post more soon but have to get going. She is waking up from her LONG nap!!! YAHH HOOO

Smiling and loving being outside

2008-10-18T10:41:00.000-07:00

This is Hannah in Leavenworth. She loves her stroller but wants to pull herself up all the time and stand at the very end. I have to make sure those straps are tight or else she would try and pull herself out of there. She is so incredibly strong and now pulls herself up in her crib and looks at the ground like she is going to climb over the railing. She had quite the time in leavenworth and loved all the people that paid attention to her

Hannah's 6 months old!

2008-09-26T14:31:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures Grandma Holly took of Hannah. She did very well on her photo shoot. As soon as the camera comes out she starts smiling and laughing. She is so much fun!

At Hannah's 6 month appointment she weighed 14 lbs 14 oz. and was 27 1/4 inches tall. She was in the 20% for weight and 50% for height. She is still so sweet and little, but hasnt really grown much hair as you can tell.

Aunt Porky, Lianne and Emily's Visit

2008-08-16T22:51:00.000-07:00

We went up to a petting zoo near leavenworth. All the girls had fun. This is hannah's first time on a swing. She wasn't quite sure about it. It is fun now that she is getting a little bigger and stronger to do these fun things with her. She is such a happy baby!

Aren't they soo incredibly cute!!! I love these girls!

Hannah is starting to love water and always wants her own cup of water everywhere we go. This is her first starbucks that she has had yet. She loves it!! They love Hannah and Hannah definately loves to be a part of the girls.
Hannah loved watching the animals and the girls feeding the animals.

Sleeping through the night

2008-08-06T08:37:00.000-07:00

I decided after looking at everyones blogs that I will write more than just post pictures, so i hope you enjoy the stuff on here....
I am soo excited. Hannah is finally sleeping through the night. Nick had to go to oregon for work and so I spent the night with Grandma Holly and Pappy.. I was exhausted because hannah has been waking up every 3 hours to eat!!! It has been soo exhausting and I am not one to be able to function on little sleep. Anyway we went over there and grandma holly offered to stay up with hannah and try and help me through the night not have to get up as much. i wanted help also with trying to get her to sleep through the night but wanted one night of good sleep before trying it. I thought there would be a lot of crying and up and down. That night I went to sleep expecting to be woken up to feed her. The next morning I woke up at 8 and got really scared something had happened. i went out into the living room and Pappy was playing with hannah. i asked my mom how it went and she said she had slept until 7:45... Not eating at all throughout the night. I realized that I was the one keeping hannah from sleeping through the night because i would respond to her every time she would wake up.. it has been 5 nights now and she is still sleeping really well at night. I am sooo proud of her!!! I pray this will continue. It is so nice to finally get a good nights sleep. Good job grandma holly

We headed up to chelan for our family vacation. Hannah loves water and her and emma spent time in this little pool and loved it!!She is so much fun and is starting to sit up quite a bit on her own.
We tried really hard for them both to smile at the same time but it never happened.

We took them out on the boat but had to bring the umbrella because Hannah has such light skin
Hannah's first time on the boat.. Hannah didn't like the life jacket so she just fell asleep so she didnt have to think about it.
