Who's who????

National Gymnastics Day

Alyssa with her very first gymnastics teacher "Carrie". Alyssa looked forward to seeing Carrie every week. We were very disappointed when we heard she wouldn't be teaching classes in the Fall.

Alyssa's first tatto.

Sitting on the beam.

Hannah sitting in Alyssa's spot in the stroller. She likes it a whole lot better because she can see more things.

Alyssa jumping on the trampoline. That was the highlight of her day.

Alyssa sliding into the foam pit.

Alyssa swinging on the rings.

Hannah resting after a long morning.

Alyssa, Hannah and I spent the morning at Red River Valley Gymnastics for National Gymnastics Day. Alyssa had a blast and Hannah enjoyed watching everyone play.

Playing with PaPa

Alyssa & PaPa playing with Alyssa's tool set.

NaNa & PaPa had to come out to our house, so PaPa could lower Hannah's crib for me.

Hannah Ellen...

Playing in her crib.

Sitting up with a little support from the boppy.

All snuggled up.
Big yawn!!!

Wearing her new hat.

I didn't think my driving was that bad. Hannah fell asleep holding on to her car seat handle.

Hannah had her 6 month well-baby check-up on the 9th of August, which was a little early. She now weighs 17 lbs. 13 oz. and measures 27 inches long. She is in the 95th percentile for both height and weight and the 75th percentile for her head. She is growing like a weed. Bill is not going to recognize her when he gets home. Did I mention that Bill is now going to be home in about 60 days, instead of 120 days. As long as everything goes as planned. We are very excited about that!!!

Alyssa Nikay...

Alyssa in her car.
We have been looking for one of these cars all summer at garage sales and finally found one at the thrift store on base. Every morning after breakfast Alyssa asks to go outside and ride her car. She just loves it.

With her new patio set from LaVonne, Bruce, Marissa & MarJenna.
Thank you, I love it!!!

Cutie Pie

Wearing Mommy's glasses.

Quite the outfit.

Playing with her puppets.

Alyssa started potty training last Monday the 6th of August. She has done a great job with it, we are very proud of her. Way to go Alyssa!!!!

Hannah...

Wearing her new sunglasses!!!

Playing in her highchair.

Sucking on her toes!!!

Just woke up.

Hannah got her second tooth on the 31st of July, so now she has both of her bottom teeth and she is only 5 1/2 months old. A lot of people are surprised that she already has two teeth. Alyssa got her first tooth around 8 months old. Hannah is going to be sitting up on her own in no time and crawling isn't far away either. They grow up way to fast.

Visitors

7/23/07
MarJenna & Marissa came to Grand Forks to go to the Martina McBride concert with Nichole and I. Then they spent the next day at my house hanging out with the girls. It was nice to have visitors at our house.

Alyssa & Hannah

Ever since I got the girls pictures done together Alyssa seems to think that she should hold Hannah like this all the time. She even pulled Hannah from her tummy up like this when I had my back turned to her and she got her all the way up too. And Hannah is only about 9 pounds lighter than Alyssa.

Feeding sis.

Hannah practicing sitting up. Alyssa thinks it is great when Hannah is sitting.
