I do like it!!!

Hannah is just too cute. We get videos of her all the time saying the cutest stuff. So, I haven't posted a video since we moved here because I couldn't get them to upload. I just decided to try again and it worked, so I may be posting some older video clips. I'm sure you don't mind.

Daniel with his new toy.

This is what we got Daniel for his Christmas present this year. It is a 5 in 1 gym for ages newborn to 5 years old. It turns into a table and easel for when he is older.
Can you believe that I am finally caught up on my pictures!!! I do have some in the camera, but I will get those later.

The night before leaving:o(

Grandpa, Grandma & Uncle Pat with the kids.

Our final attempt at a picture of Grandma & Grandpa with the kids.
As you can see it didn't go to well, the girls were tired and Daniel was irritated.

Grandpa and Grandma with Daniel. This picture turned out great.
We just wanted to thank you for coming to visit us. We really enjoyed our time with all of you.

More Family Time!!!

Grandma reading the girls a bedtime story.

Do you notice what Hannah is wearing?
We are trying to introduce her to potty training a little. She already poops and pees in the potty chair almost everyday. Alyssa potty trained around 2 years 4 months and Hannah is not even two yet, so she is doing great. She also has a big sister to look up to.

Grandma calming Daniel down a little.

Alyssa, Mommy & Uncle Pat playing a game of UNO. Alyssa's new favorite game to play and Mommy's too!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

The day after Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Pat got here we celebrated both Grandma and Grandpa's birthdays. We had plans for the day they got here, but other things happened. Alyssa ended up going into the ER to find out that she had strep throat, then they had to find a pharmacy to get the prescription filled as it was a Sunday evening. Hannah never did end up getting it, surprisingly.

Doctor Evil

You gotta love this one.

Our two babies...

Hannah & Daniel: just look at the size difference.

Thanks for the new dress Auntie and Uncle Pete!!!

More pj pictures

We have had some growing children lately.
Hannah is growing out of a lot of her 24 month & 2T clothing, so I had to take out the 3T pj's, which of course are big. I am going to have to start putting her in 3T shirts as most of the 24m & 2T are to short for her.
Alyssa is just getting low on pj's that she likes. 4T clothing seems to fit her pretty well still, except pants are starting to get a little short. Both girls have decided that they only like to wear nightgowns.
And of course Daniel is still wearing 0-3 month, but some are getting to small. So, it won't be long and he will be in 3-6 month clothing. Can you believe he is already six weeks old yesterday? Last time he was weighed was last week at 11 lbs. 13 oz., around the 75th percentile for weight, height & head. He is growing like a weed. He had his heart rechecked and the hole hasn't gotten any bigger or smaller. He will have another ultrasound in six months and if it is the same or smaller he will only need to be seen once a year until the hole closes up. We also had to switch Daniel's formula as he may have a milk allergy, his formula is now very expensive $24.50 a can. Thank goodness for WIC. He had some blood in his stool and a milk allergy can cause that. We have had to take stool samples this week and he will go back in either today or tomorrow for a follow up and hopefully the formula switch fixed it. Our little guy has had quite a few issues since he was born compared to the girls, but we are working through it.
