Fancy Pants...

Saturday night a girl that I work with got married, so the babies and I got all dressed up in our best duds and went to the wedding. It was a lot of fun and the babies did great.

I can't decide what makes me laugh more in this picture...her screaming her head off or his facial expression. She was mad b/c I took her binkie out of her mouth to try and get one picture without it in her mouth.

One Month

So I am late getting this post up, but I was waiting on our monthly stickers to get here and take their pictures for this post.

Hannah

-Weight-8 lb even
-Length-I didn't measure their length this month. Have to remember to do that next month.
-You are starting to like bath time more. I think if we did it every night you would like it more.
-You still have your curls on top of your head and that we can tell you haven't lost any hair yet.
-You are starting to have more awake time during the day.
-You still love to be snuggled up in a ball in anybody's arms.
-You were the first to stay with a baby-sitter besides family. (You stayed with Emily while I took Brady to the chiropractor.)
-From 6-8pm is your fussy time and some days no matter what we do, you just cry and after 20 minutes or so you are okay.
-You finally got your pooping issues figured out.
-You religiously eat every 3 hours during the day (2 oz.) and are sleeping from 11pm to around 3:30 and then from 3:30 to 8:00 or so in the morning. It's SO nice.
-You love the swing and you like the bouncy seat as long as someone is bouncing you in it.
-You tolerate tummy time. It's not your favorite, but you are getting better about it.
-You love your pacifier, but you don't absolutely have to have it all the time.
-You are still wearing newborn diapers, but we are going to graduate to size 1 this week and you are in newborn and 0-3 mos. clothes. We have already had to retire some of your newborn stuff b/c it is too short for you. (Mostly the footie jammers)
-You are definitely a diva, but an absolutely precious diva! :)
-You sleep great in your crib with the positioning wedge.

Brady

-Weight- 8lb 1/2 oz. You have now officially surpassed your sister and your daddy couldn't be more excited!!
-Length-???
-You are definitely a fan of bathtime. Although you hate getting your lotion on and your jammers afterwards.
-Your best time of day is normally about 6:00-8:00pm. You lay on your back on your daddy's chest and are totally content for the most part. It's so fun to watch you lay there and look around.
-You love the swing and you like the bouncy seat okay.
-You are ADDICTED to your paci already. I have a feeling we could be in trouble with you when it comes to that thing. You blow your top when it falls out.
-You will lay in your crib during the day and just chill while I take care of sister.
-Your hair is falling out all over the place. You are pretty much bald on top now except for some peach fuzz.
-You have some of the funniest facial expressions.
-You eat every 3 hours during the day and like your sister are starting to sleep longer @ night, however, you are usually the first to wake up @ night.
-You are in mostly 0-3 months clothes now b/c we either can't get the newborn stuff over your head, or it is too short.
-You are in NB diapers, but will be graduating this week as soon as we finish off this last box of NB.
-Your first non-family baby-sitter was Amy. She kept you and Hannah while I ran to the post office and to Thompson's one afternoon.
-You have the longest feet and toes. Everybody comments on them. Uncle David calls them your tree climbing toes.
-You are not a big fan of tummy time, but you are starting to tolerate it a little better every day.

And now for the part you've all been waiting for...more pictures! :)

Right now this is probably my favorite picture of Brady!! I love it :)

All of these pictures were taken on their actual one month birthday. We did a little photo shoot in their room that morning after we changed out of our jammers and got ready for the day.
The last two pictures are from when we went to Hereford one weekend in May while Billy was out of town and spent the afternoon with my grandparents.

A Visit from the Bells

I have truly missed seeing my kiddos that I picked up from school this year. Their mom had her baby 2 weeks to the day before Hannah and Brady were born, so she's been home to pick them up from school and I've not seen them since they came to visit us in the hospital...that is until last Friday. Amy had a luncheon to go to and Lauren got out of school @ noon since it was the last day of school, so I went and picked Lauren up from school and brought her home with me. She is a pro @ holding babies and I'm pretty sure was in hog heaven holding Hannah. (She REALLY wanted a baby sister.) Once Amy got through with her lunch she went and got Jace and she and the boys came over and we all hung out for a little bit. Jace was so big and did such a good job holding the babies. We've been teasing him about holding Hannah b/c for forever he said he was only holding the boy babies and Lauren could hold the girl baby. He ended up holding Hannah though and we got some really cute pictures. Amy and I laugh everytime we get together and she holds Hannah and Brady or I hold Rylan b/c there is such a size difference in the 3 of them. She is going to bring him over to weigh him this week, and I'm curious to see what he weighs. He is a CHUNK! :) He was 8 lb 10 oz when he was born and I bet he weighs every bit of 10 if not 11 lb by now. They are such a sweet family and I have loved getting to be a part of their lives this last year and am so glad that we continue to hang out and be a part of each others lives.

Lauren and Miss Priss

The three amigos!! (Hannah, Brady and Rylan 5/17/11)

Jace and Little Man

Hannah and Jace

I don't have a picture of Lauren holding Brady b/c until today she hadn't, but they got lots of good snuggle time in today.
