Hannah CRAWLED

Really...5 months old and she's crawling (and cut her first tooth!!!). Not even kidding. We knew she was close, but sure enough - Sunday she's up on all fours and away she goes. She's a determined little bugger, and Kayden, two words for you..."WATCH OUT!" Here are a couple videos, not the best quality - as our video camera battery was dead. At least I got it, right?? :)

Hannah...what are you doing?



"Hannah watch Kayden, I do it!" He was even doing the ahhh trying to make all the Hannah noises as you can see. lol



Checking on her progress

She's UP!

She's wondering what all the camera snapping is for!

Finished product...the crawler!! :)

A Bit of an Update, LOTS of Pictures!

I admit as I was searching through our pictures on here - its been a long time since a good blog of pictures, so this one is a long one, make sure to check them all out!! Our babes are getting so big!! I started coaching dance again last week so its hard, I miss my babies. And this week was a crazy lots of hours week at work, so today it was just me and Kayden and Hannah (and about 8 inches of rain outside - yikes!). It was awesome, they both slept in...I EVEN GOT TO EAT BREAKFAST! Here are some pictures from the last month!

Big Brother Little Sister!



Hey Kayden...that's not your chair.


You talking to me?
PS - she is SOOO close to crawling, even got up on all 4's yesterday! AHHH
Kayden, hide your choo choo's and monster trucks!


"I hold my Hannah!"
she looks a little nervous...


"I got your nose!"

Hannah was only in there a couple minutes before she freaked out...she doesn't like the bath chair!

I am Going to Hell

So Eric and I were watching America's Got Talent the other night and I wanted the bike guy to win...I MAY HAVE said, (just before they walked out) "I don't like these kids, I hope they fall." My favorite quote from a bumper sticker..."Its all fun and games until someones gets hurt, then its frickin' hilarious."

I am so going to hell.

Hannah 5 Months Old

Hannah is 5 months old already!! Can't believe it! Here are some recent pictures. She has started eating. LOVES sweet potatoes, hates green beans, and has since stopped sleeping all through the night. She gets close. As you can see in the last picture, she has outgrown her swaddle blanket / wrap so she's all on her own - and lasts until about 4:00am. She's a growing girl, I mean come on - give her another bottle already!! She can push herself up, and holds herself up really good. Is constantly running whether she's in your lap, standing w/ you, or laying on the floor. She's going to be a mover and a shaker. Kayden has also started to call her "my little peanut." I'll have to get a video - cutest thing EVER! Here are some pics of our little 5 month old. I'll post some more pics of both kiddos in the next couple days to update everyone!


There's my precious girl!!! :) 5 months old!!


Giving Daddy some big smiles!


SOOO close to sitting up all by herself

Aren't you supposed to be napping??

She can push herself up all the way now.

Just catching some rays

Am I the cutest little 5 month old you've ever seen or what?? :)

This is how Eric found Hannah one morning. She was put in her crib the night before, on her back, facing the other way, and in her full swaddle blanket. Needless to say the little moose has since graduated from her swaddle blanket!

Sesame Street Live

Last Saturday we took Kayden to Sesame Street Live at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. I was pretty excited b/c it was a 10:30 show. I thought - perfect, get home grab lunch and a nap and a productive day. It did work fairly well, but really - an intermission at an event for toddlers / preschoolers?? K did really really good in the beginning, and for most of it. But about half way through the 2nd half we hit shut down mode. The reason..."I JUST WANT TO SIT BY ELLMMMOOOO!!!!" Sob Sob. "I JUST WANT ELMO." Sob Sob. Not going to happen. He didn't quite understand that Elmo wasn't going to sit by him. But I thought it was funny, there was of course the adult humor, see the hair pics and the Footloose video. I think Eric even had fun!! I took a video of K's face when all the characters made their big entrance. CLASSIC (and too big to upload). So glad we took him!!


Hi Elmo!


BERT & ERNIE!


Listening patiently to Bert & Ernie introduce everyone

COOOOOKIE!!!

Some of the gang

K's two favorite people, Cookie & Elmo

Being a stinker during intermission...really, an intermission at a kids event, was this a smart idea??? The answer to follow in the next pictures.

Check out the hair - forget what song it was, but I was rolling on the floor when they came out.

Mid 2nd half....trying to walk off a tantrum

And Daddy settled him down long enough to watch the finale from the back!

Awesom show!!

The Sesame Gang jamming to their version of the classic Footloose song, I loved it!! :)
