Happy Birthday Lily!

We had fun at Lily's birthday party at Buld a Bear.



Katie with her new bear, "Wilbur Clifford".

And a little bear for Hannah too.


We love the carousel!



We are so thankful for our playgroup and the friends we have both made through the group.  Thanks Lily for inviting us.  We had fun!

A Love of Learning

Katie loves books, loves school, and loves learning her letters and numbers.  As a teacher this makes my heart smile.  I hope she always loves learning and school.  Teaching kindergarten this year with a 3 year old has been a lot of fun.  She's getting close enough to the grade I'm teaching that I'm able to do some of my school stuff with her. 

Here are some letter matching cards I ordered from Scholastic for her.
She also has some pattern blocks Mimi got her for her birthday.  I guess they're learning patterns at school because she likes counting and making patterns now. 
She always wants to sleep with all of her books in bed with her.  We try to take them out, but every night when we go to tuck her back in after going to bed, she has them all back in bed with her.  We can pick her up, move her, change her clothes and she has no idea we're even in her room, but if we try to move a book, she will wake up and immediately know we've taken a book out of her bed.

Fall Festival

Katie (and Hannah's) daycare has a Fall Festival every year.  This year Katie was finally old enough to really have a lot of fun!

They had crafts...

face painting...

and games.


But her favorite was the bounce house.  I didn't think I was going to get her out of there.  :)

Fall Sewing

Once school starts I don't have a whole lot of time to sew, but I did manage to sew these matching outfits for the girls for their fall school pictures.  :)

And... Hannah started sitting up with little help!

Hannah's 1st Foods

I'm WAY behind on my blog but since this is the girls' baby book, I don't want to skip anything.  So this was actually 3 months back when Hannah tried rice cereal for the 1st time.  She was 6 months old when she started on rice cereal then moved to purees about 2-3 weeks later. 

Katie wanted to help too but Hannah was not interested in this new food so she didn't eat much at all.

Hannah's 6 Month Update

What's Hannah up to at 6 months (mid-October)?
14lbs lloz (25-50%)
25.3" long (50-75%)
116.3" head (25-50%)

Here is where the fun begins.  Hannah's starting to play with toys and definitely has a preference for some things over others. 

She's starting to roll over from her back to her tummy (not always consistentlly).
Her favorite toy is her jumparoo. 
She loves playing with Daddy.

She loves her sister too.  Katie is having lots of fun with Hannah as she gets older.  She likes to help feed Hannah and loves to make Hannah laugh.  They are going to be such good friends as they grow up.

She loves to make "motor boat" sounds and smiles all the time.  I love my happy baby girl!

And here's a little bit of Katie...
I have a footprint plate for Katie at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year and I'm doing the same for Hannah.  Here's Hannah's 6 month plate.

Pumpkin Patch #1

We went to 2 pumpkin patches this year.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the 1st one.

Katie made a new friend in the hay maze.  They had lots of fun playing together.

She loved the bounce house!

You Are My Sunshine

More dance pictures



She loves Ms. Tammy.


Katie with BFF, Melanie

They had costume night the week before Halloween.




For several weeks, they learned a dance to "You Are My Sunshine".  Here's Katie singing her song.  There's a part at the end where she always says "turn".  That must've been the spot in the dance where they turn.  LOL

More dance video...
