March Update

 Daddy was out West on a work trip for a few weeks in February and March.  Thankfully grandma came to  save the day and help with the crazy kids.

Unfortunately, this is the only picture I got while she was here.  Can you see where Timmy gets his hair from?

Playdate with Sonya!  Dressing up...again!

One of Timmy's favorite toys right now!!  He has gone from taking a few steps to Mr. Speedy Gonzalez.  Pretty soon, I'm sure he'll be running!

Timmy thinks the cat de-hairer is a hairbrush.  What a nice little brother to brush his sister's hair.  Hannah's such a good sport!

We had a few beautiful days in the upper 70s/lower 80s and took full advantage of it!  We spent loads of time outside and the kids loved it!









Shopping with Hannah!  Someone had a growth spurt!


Timmy getting into trouble again!  Good thing he's cute or his middle name would be "Mud"!


Disney on Ice with Sarah and her family.  It was the first time we had ever been and it was so much fun!

Daddy was cooking in the kitchen one day and he turned around to find Hannah aiming a frying pan at him saying, "I'm going to get you Flynn Rider."  It was hilarious!

Goofy girl!  So not ready for her to go off to kindergarten next year!

February Update

 Wacky Day at preschool!

Timmy being wacky in his own way.

Timmy's first steps!  Hooray!

Hannah loves to play dress ups with her friends.  Here she is with Addison.  Look at those cute divas!

A special dinner and a movie.

Last snowman of the season?  Caleb was out of town on a business trip for work for a few weeks and Hannah and I had some fun outside while Timmy was napping.

January Update

Hannah and Timmy are starting to interact a little more.  Big sister loves to help Timmy and had a blast riding in this cart car with him while we went grocery shopping.  It took us a little longer to get our shopping done but the giggles were so worth it!


Hannah spent some special time decorating the shirts that Uncle Aaron and Aunt Lisa gave her for Christmas.

Timmy has learned where to find the yummy snacks!  He loves to get into his diaper bag to find treats when mommy's busy in the kitchen.
 
  

Timmy loves to be doing whatever big sister is doing.  Thankfully, they play together so nicely.  The giggles are priceless!  Music to a momma's ears!
 


We spent a rainy weekend constructing this flower shop for the kids out of an old cardboard box.  Hannah has played with it for hours!

Hannah and her friend Addison at Castaway Cafe.  They had so much fun running their hearts out!

Timmy's 12 Months

Oh, my sweet boy.  I simply cannot believe that it has already been a year since we welcomed you into our family.  What a challenge and a joy it's been! We had a rough start with the reflux/colic, but you'd never know it now!  You have such an easy-going personality and we just adore you to pieces!
 12 Month Stats:
Weight:  21 lbs, 14 oz (35th percentile)
Height:  29.5 in (39th percentile)
Head Circumference:  18.5 in (68th percentile)
Mommy cut off your curly locks in the back this month!  I had been in the process of trimming up your bangs and then moved on to the wings above your ears.  This month I decided it was time to take care of the "mullet" in the back, but it was so hard to cut those beautiful blond curls!   I think you look so handsome with your haircut though (and now you are not being mistaken for a girl so often!)
You learned how to clap this month!  You love the responses you get from your new trick and it encourages you to do it even more!  Another trick you've learned this month is giving high fives.  You also got your 8th tooth!  You now have 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom!
We finally found a food that you cannot refuse!  You are a picky eater, my boy, but you double fist the macaroni and cheese!  You have even learned to say, "Yum!"
Happy 1st Birthday, Timmy!
We took you to Olive Garden for your birthday since you love their macaroni and cheese.  Unfortunately, you weren't that in to the dining out experience.


Hannah picked out this Cars water bottle for Timmy, wrapped it herself, and waited with anticipation to give it to him.  I think it was his favorite gift!

Happy New Year

Our friends, the Kerns, invited us for their annual kid-friendly New Year's Party again.  We had a blast and so did the kids!  She prepared 3 crafts (hats, snowmen candle holder, and noise makers) so Hannah was in heaven!  At 8pm the kids scrambled out to the deck to pop bubble wrap and scream at the top of their lungs.  An extra little touch this year was the balloon drop (rigged in the trees by Justin and Melissa).  Thanks guys!  It was wonderful as always!

Uncle Aaron's Doppelganger

 Hannah just loved Uncle Aaron.  She had really warmed up to him by the last day!  She thought he looked just like Flynn Rider from the Disney movie Tangled.  They do have a striking resemblance!
