Hannah is Daddy's girl these days! I love seeing them interact. Scott is fantastic with her! It is hard these days for to get Daddy time because Scott is in heavy crunch at work. When we can't see him all day we are able to talk to him on the computer and on the phone. She makes sure to tell him, "I love you, Daddy, and I miss you, Daddy". However, When he gets home, she loves her special daddy time. Bath time has become her new favorite thing to do. She is now in the big girl tub without the insert and she loves washing her newest waterproof Aya doll.

Hannah also loves playing "hiding" with us. Her favorite hiding spot is in the nook near our new bathroom and pantry. Scott and I love the addition for other reasons but for Hannah it is a new play area. She is talking more and more every day. She is speaking in simple sentences and cracks us up with her expression and tones. She has a new monster voice that she uses that is hysterical. She has also been putting on concerts for us by singing and playing the piano. She is so full of personality, mostly all fun and amazing, but at times challenging.

She is definitely a 2 year old! She is full of spunk and mischief. We are working on using manners rather than making demands of us and we are working on gentle touching and playing all around (with friends, Lilah, and pets). We know we will work through the present challenges so we are ready for new ones:) I keep reminding myself that we can handle anything as long as we are all healthy!

Such big girls

Ayla and Hannah have their first dinner together with out parents-such big girls!

Those silly girls! These days whatever one is doing the other follows, so if one is having a snack so is the other.

Inauguration Day!

"Yeah Obama"

Lilee in The Spotlight!

Lilah is amazing! She issuch a comfortable baby, and generally pretty happy. She is growing so fast. She is 9 weeks old and has become so much more alert. She is around 10 pounds now. She smiles all the time and coos. She definitely likes to be around people and is aware when you leave the room. Her sleeping so far is similar to Hannah at this age-no complaints. She cat naps during the day-30 min. unless we are on the go and then she sleeps longer. This week she has started sleeeping for 8 hours straight, Yeah Lilah!
Hannah for the most part is doing great with her, she shows some interest in holding her and is mostly very sweet to her. However, there have definitely been some jealous moments that we have worked through and we are practicing "gentle" touching.
