Avery's 1st Dentist Appointment

Avery had her first trip to the dentist today. Kurt took her and said she did great! I'm sure in large part that was due to the awesome abilities of Dr. Oakley and his staff:)

Easter

On this Easter, I'm so thankful for my great husband, dear daughters, and wonderful family & friends. But most thankful for the joy that lives in my heart everyday. Grateful that Jesus saved me from myself.

Christmas Family Pictures

Again, so pleased with Steph's pictures. The girls were not on best behavior that day, so I was just happy that we found ONE to use for Christmas cards! She is a miracle worker.

It was cold, no one was enthused, for some reason Kurt does not find it "fun" to take family pictures??....so we had a little bit of this.
And this.
And this.....This is after I asked Kurt if he was smiling with his teeth. Shouldn't have asked.

But these make it all worth it.

Hannah is 6 months

Here's what she's been up to:
Started belly laughing (4 1/2 mo.)
1st time in crib w/out the snuggler (5 mo.)
1st time in Jumperoo (5 mo.)
1st time to eat cereal (5 1/2 mo.)
1st time in booster to eat (6 mo.)


Not crawling yet and we are fine with that!! She is still mostly a happy baby, though will let you when she's upset....like when she can't see anyone to give her attention. Doing great with cereal - cried a lot during the 1st few feedings because she wasn't getting it fast enough. LOVES Avery, and Avery is finally getting used to having her around:) Avery still doesn't pay her much attention, but is actually most sweet to her when no one else is around. If I step out of the room, I'll come back to hear Avery having a nice little conversation with her....makes me laugh, and smile.

Likes to listen to Daddy play the guitar - just like Avery did.

"What do I do in here?"

If it was always this easy...

Happy Halloween
