Two under two for two weeks...

074


When I was pregnant with Andrew, we realized that we would have a short time with two kids under two. It turned out to be 15 days exactly. She is doing a really great with her new baby brother and calls him "Candy" and "baby". She loves to "help" with a blanket or pacifier, and is pretty good with being gentle.

This week we had a joint appointment at the pediatrician's office - one for a two-week-old, and one for a two-year-old. Both received great reviews from the doctor, both are fine and healthy, which we couldn't be more happy and grateful for.

Little buddy likes to sleep and eat, and is the easiest, most laid-back little guy. He has started opening his eyes more and looking around. He is such a little sweetie and reminds me so much of Alex as a newborn.Image

Ah, this one. She is such a little firecracker. She is in the crazy toddler phase where she gets into everything and has to see/do/touch/ all the things! She is so, so sweet, smart and doesn't miss a thing. I still can't believe this kid is two years old now, it has flown by so quickly!

This past weekend, Grandma and Grandpa Hennig came to see baby Andrew and also help Greer celebrate her birthday. We had a cake, ice cream and some presents. She ended up getting two parties for two years.Image

Birthday Greer!

031


Our little sweetheart turned two yesterday, and we wanted to make sure she had a little party of her own. It's been a little tricky, having just brought home her new baby brother. On Saturday, she got to celebrate with Grandma and Grandpa Hennig with cake and presents. Last night, we had cupcakes, glow sticks, presents and punch balloons.

Welcome, Andrew James!

020


Our family is now a party of five with the addition of our son, Andrew James. He arrived on April 3rd at 5:17 p.m. He's about a pound smaller than his two siblings, at 8 lbs., 6 oz., 20.5 inches long, but he was induced at 39 weeks and one day so that I wouldn't have another extra-big baby. We are absolutely thrilled and grateful to have him here healthy, safe and sound!

Happy St. Pinterest (Patrick's) Day!

St. Pat's Day is one of our favorite holidays around here, so we like to have fun and celebrate on the 17th. Pinterest is awesome for finding lots of great ideas for the kids.

First things first, the leprechaun trap, because we really want to see if we can get that gold. It was set and we found this in the morning...

Nuts. Those little buggers are hard to catch. This particular leprechaun was named Larry, and he left the kids a note with some fun little surprises...

And one in our bathroom too.

We still had a nice breakfast, with rainbow fruit salad and Lucky Charms pancakes!

Finally, February!

041


Is January not the worst month of the year? After New Year's, it's basically downhill. Cold weather, short days, flu/cold season, ugh. We've managed to avoid the flu here, but did fall victim to some nasty winter colds. Everyone is on the mend, and with February here, it's time to start looking forward to spring! It's a little bit closer now!
