Just a few photos from March…

Lately whenever I take out the video camera, Nathan wants to take video.

Hannah lots her Rainforest Bouncy seat right now.

She’s getting good at her Bumbo seat too. Nathan was putting toys on the little table for her, but I think Hannah was more interested in him.

We went on a great walk at Oregon Ridge with the whole fam.

Hannah got into the spirit for St. Patty’s Day.

And she’s rolling to her side pretty well.

Especially when her brother is there!

A few cute pictures to round out the month

Fenny was definitely interested in the new creature we brought home. But as with Nathan, he’s been very good with Hannah. He can get excited and rambunctious, but when he’s sniffing her and aware that she’s close by, he’s very calm.

Here he is checking Nathan out days after we brought him home.

And checking Hannah out days after we brought her home.

Not much has changed besides the house, and I guess Fen has gotten a tad bigger

The bassinet belongs to Gary’s Grandmother and lots of kids in his family have used it, including him I believe. I love that ours have used it as well.

Holidays aside, December was pretty much just spent starting to find our new rhythm (and we’re, um, still working on that).

Nathan checked out his new sister. He was mildly interested in her and didn’t seem too phased by her at first.

Fen was also interested in the new arrival. He still comes and sniffs her head from time to time, but he’s always generally very careful around her if he’s paying attention.

Nathan liked to lay toys in the bassinet with Hannah. It was very cute.

Hannah had her first bath. She wasn’t a fan at first, but we got it figured out eventually and she is fine with them now…it’s the getting dressed afterward she doesnt like!

Surprisingly Hannah did very little of this. From the beginning she’s been a pretty laid back content baby. Hopefully she’ll stay that way!

Hannah experienced her first snow fall.

I love her long skinny legs in this one.

Thankfully loving her swing and check out the hair! She came out with all that and has gradually lost some, but still has a lot up top.

Beginning to look a little bigger toward the end of the month!

More pictures from December here

Summer is always super busy…day trips, birthday parties, time outside…here’s our June in pictures..

Nathan’s first movie in the theater (Toy Story 3!). He loved it and we can’t wait to take him again.

Nathan gathered all his stuffed dogs for Fenny and laid them out around him.

More pictures from June here

This is late, but I still wanted to share some fun pictures of Fen having a blast with all the snow we had in February.

Fen was being really rambunctious outside tonight and we had to keep reminding him (loudly) not to run into Nathan while he was tearing through the yard. Once he settled down I think he was trying to show us that he knows how to be calm around him by following him around and trying to kiss him. Nathan wasn ‘t happy about it because his hood was getting knocked off, but usually Fenny kisses make him giggle.

These two have gotten a little more cuddly lately. Nathan wants to pet or hug Fen more than he used to and is always asking where he is, and Fen is sticking around longer when Nathan starts poking him

They both love looking out the front window.

Hanging out.

When I asked him to give Fen a hug.

Looking outside, something they both love to do.

When Nathan’s room was just a guest room with a double bed, Fen used to hide all the little things he’d find or steal under the bed and sometimes it was hard to get him out from underneath. He hasn’t tried to do that with Nathan’s crib, but while I was cleaning under it the other day (it’s the Land of Missing Pacifiers) he dove under it and wouldn’t leave.

Eventually Nathan figured out where he was and came in to investigate. I wasn’t sure how he’d react since he gets frustrated with Fen when he gets too close to some of his toys or food, but after sitting back and watching for a minute, he decided it was just funny.
