Friday iPhone Dump #11

"Look Momma, I'm a Lego!"



She is getting SO much better at tummy time...finally!



Just a man and his kiddos.



We had dinner at El Jarrito and Jacob HAD to see the (fake) donkeys and wagon. They probably frown upon kids getting in the wagon, oh well.






"Look Momma, it's a hat!" By the way, Randy sometimes calls Jacob 'Carrot Top' because he'll do things like this, a lot.



She is learning to sit up so well. She may or may not have crashed shortly after this picture.



We braved Toddler Story Time at the library again. Jacob was SO good and Hannah enjoyed it too. You may remember that we went when he was about 18 months old and he was terrible!!!






Just watching Momma and Brother eat lunch.



More sitting up (and blowing slobber bubbles, again).



That's all for this week!

Friday iPhone Dump #10

We went to the mall to get Randy's Father's Day present. After Jacob helped me pick it out, we saw a princess/clown (yep) making balloon animals. He just had to have the Elmo one, so he got it.



By the way, Randy was in the door 2.3 seconds before he told him what we bought him. Your secrets aren't safe with Jacob!

We went ahead and got Hannah a walker so she can hang out with us in the playroom without laying down and being bored. We spend a lot of time in there and she prefers to sit up and watch Jacob. Most days I'm too lazy to pull her big jumperoo in there. I never thought she could use the walker yet, but I was wrong. She can move, backwards, and kept disappearing down the hall.



And, of course, any time I take her picture, he wants me to take his picture. However, he can't hold a smile very long and looks very silly here.



She has never been a big pacifier baby but does still use it some to fall asleep. I'm not sure she is using it correctly. (Notice how much more hair she has now! It's finally coming back.)



Saturday night, Randy and I went to a wedding and had fun in the photo booth. We showed these pictures to Jacob and he thinks they are HILARIOUS!!



Sunday morning, we went swimming with M and Pa. M and Hannah weren't going to get in, but Hannah wanted in the water so badly! So, we put her in. Of course, meal time rolled around and she ate in her float (again).















After swimming, she was exhausted so I thought it would be a good time to try her napping in her room in her crib. She did great and has slept in there for naps and at night ever since. She looks so small and silly in her sleep suit.



That night, we took Randy out for a Father's Day dinner. We took about 50 pictures and this one was the best. Like I said, Jacob can't hold a smile for long and Hannah is easily distracted!



Jacob is getting much better at drawings on the magna doodle. This was something he drew the other day. It is NOT me, but when he does draw me, he says he's not finished until he adds my beard and mustache. :0(



When big brother wants you to be a pirate, you be a pirate.



Hannah's new trick of the week is rolling from her back to her belly...many, many times. And, although she did belly to back a few random times last week, she had completely forgotten how. And she still hates tummy time. So, I lay her down on her back and within 2 seconds she flips to her belly. Then screams until I roll her onto her back again. Which lasts about 2 seconds and the whole thing repeats. Do this about 1,000 times a day and you'll know what has kept me busy this week. (Actually, as the week has progressed, she hasn't learned to roll to her back but she isn't hating tummy time quite as much!)

Here she is right before rolling and also modeling a dress my Aunt Barbara and Uncle Dick got her. I love yellow on her!



M and Pa were back for the night so M was down there with her trying to teach her to roll to her back. Hannah wasn't into learning and completely gave up and fell asleep.



Randy brought Jacob for another haircut on Wednesday. This is the 'after' picture (he looks SO grown up with every new haircut).



Then we needed to rinse the little hairs off somehow, so we went for a swim. I just love this swimsuit on Hannah. I bought it way before she was born on clearance for about $2. I think it's so cute!


Her hat doesn't really match but its a necessity.



Her and I drying off after the swim.



The water slide.



Hannah's first time to swing at the park. I think she liked it!!

Friday iPhone Dump #9

One morning, Jacob asked for "Lucky Charms, please. But not the stale ones like Memaw had." I laughed so hard and had to take a picture of him with the "good" Lucky Charms.


Hannah has become a HUGE fan of the jumperoo this week. She stays in there for quite a while. But she's not a crazy jumper (yet) like Jacob was. She prefers to sway back and forth and watch Jacob.





Many if you know that Jill's son Luke (Jill is a friend I met while teaching at Taylor and Luke is 3 years old, in case you didn't know) was diagnosed back in March with Leukemia. Some of her friends had these bracelets made and lots of us are taking pictures like this to remind her that we are praying for them. I put it on Facebook and said "We love you, Luke! You know you're a special boy when you get this Aggie family to wear orange. Praying for you daily." I hope it brought a smile to their faces. :0)



M and Pa bought this shirt for Jacob. I love it!



And, now, a gray mustache.



The big event of the weekend was Hannah's baptism. All of our family came in (on both sides) and we are so thankful that everyone made the trip. Unfortunately, I didnt get many pictures. These are mostly from Randy's phone or were sent to me.

Logan and Brynna got up early with us on Sunday morning and loved holding Hannah.






It was her baptism day AND her 5 month old birthday!



Cousins before church.



Hannah with Uncle Beebo and Aunt Danielle.



With Uncle Nick and Aunt Carrie.



With Memaw.



Her cake.


Brynna was reading this book last week and her and Carrie both decided she was too old for it. So, they brought it to Jacob and he loves it. It's colors and numbers and random objects. He just stares at it a lot.


Pa brought us some home grown yellow squash. Randy won't eat it so I made a pot of it for me, and before I added seasoning, I took out some for Hannah. I puréed it and she LOVED it! I'm happy to have another squash eater in the house.


Warning: chubby baby picture ahead. I know she looks huge here, but I loved how she was just 'hanging out' in her bath!


Yet another picture from Jacob's monitor. It's been a while since I've had one. He got a puppy pillow lights from one of Randy's clients last year for Christmas. He loved it for about a month and seriously has not touched it since. It was just sitting in his room until he got out of bed the other night (luckily a rare thing for him) to get it. And he has slept with it every night and nap since then. Randy and I just watched him for a while because he was petting it and talking to it.


One night when I was finished feeding Hannah, Jacob climbed up in my chair to give her a drink of water from her sippy cup. So sweet.


Practicing sitting up.


Hannah has a rash on each side of her forehead. I have no idea what it is. Any ideas?





Jacob also gets red splotches around his mouth after he eats. We assume it's some sort of food allergy. So, while you are diagnosing Hannah, what's this? And, yes, I plan to ask a real doctor soon.


Playing last night with a toy that, according to him, Uncle Scotty bought him. He's halfway right, but Aunt Laura gets no credit.
