Princess Paige!

It is a frozen princess just about every day - in light of the movie Frozen.  She loves to dress up and twirl her blanket around the ground.  My favorite frozen conversation with her is about a song that says "he is a bit of a fixer-upper".  I told her daddy was a bit of a "fixer-upper".  I asked her what mommy was, "a fixer upper", what is Paige, "a frozen princess", what is Hannah, "a spitter-upper"!  Couldn't be more truth spoken from the mouth of a 2 year old!

7 Months Old!

Hannah is growing so fast.  She is full of laughter and smiles!  My favorite is when she laughs and giggles at Paige.  They are interacting so much and they both seem to be the best of friends.  They laugh, touch, talk, and occasionally give kisses to each other - so sweet!

A little tear, but still a smile.

There's that sweet smile and bright blue eyes!

So much to say!

Happy Easter!

We had a fun-filled Easter with lots of family and friends to celebrate along with!  The girls had a great day finding eggs and discovering treasures inside.  Here are some pictures and highlights from the day.

Paige followed a trail of skittles to her basket!

We love to find new things to put in our mouth!

Look Daddy!  Look, look!

Hunting for eggs at Grandma's house.

Got to love the accessories - 2 necklaces - why not?

All smiles!

Look at me - did I mention I can sit up now?

BFFs

The start of the great egg hunt!  Go girls, go!

So many eggs!  Can you spot them all?

I'll take that one - share eggs?  Not so much.

The basket was getting pretty full.  What a fun day!

6 Months!

Time goes by so fast!  Hannah is growing and changing so quickly.  She is not quite sitting up, but she is eating tons of solids and loves to watch all of her little friends play.  Tonight she desperately wanted to play Minnie Mouse dominoes with Paige.  She is grabbing for everything and enjoys putting things in her mouth.  I can never pick which picture I like best so here are a few of my favorites.  I just love her little cheeks - makes you want to kiss and squeeze them!  She has such a delightful personality.  Just loves to be held, cuddled, and transitions to others with a big smile.

First Bites!

Hannah finally reached the first bites milestone.  It is a little bittersweet for me knowing that she is already big enough to be starting "real" food.  She has had oatmeal the past three days and eats more and more each day.  I think we will start on sweet potatoes tomorrow.  I love watching their little tongues work overtime to get the food to move in the right direction.  As you can see in some pictures, Hannah's little tongue often makes the food come back out her little mouth!  Ahhh ... the fun of first bites!

Evie's B-day!

Paige's cousin Evelyn celebrated her 2nd birthday.  This was the first time Paige was really excited about going to a birthday party.  They had a great beach themed party!  So fun to celebrate with all of our "cousins", "aunites and uncles", and "grandmas and grandpas"!!!

Good morning raga-muffins!

"So sparkly"

Birthday Star

Fishing for snacks - yumm!

Cardboard boxes are the best!

Sand and shells

Just like the beach!

5 Months Old!

Hannah has reached the 5 month mark!  She is such a happy, content baby.  She loves to be held and likes to watch Paige.  She has started to interact with her and will laugh when Paige plays peek-a-boo with her.  It is wonderful to watch!  She is growing and changing everyday.  She is starting to play with toys.  Paige and I cheer for her in the car when we hear her ducky toy move up and down.  Hannah just rolled over from her tummy to her back the other day.  It continues to happen, but it surprises her as much as it surprises us.
