Siblings

Ashton still loves Hannah. Most of the time he is very soft with her and he still loves to hold her and point out her eyes, nose & toes. He was holding her hand while he layed with her on the playmat; it was adorable.
He loves to show her how to use her swing. But once in awhile he gets away from us and Hannah gets hurt. A few weeks ago she had a bruise under her eye from when he threw one of his crayons at her. Sadly, I didn't get a picture of her first shiner. But I'll never forget the pediatrician saying "Oh my gosh is that a bruise?" This past week he swatted her at church and she got a nice scratch on her forehead. I've learned now to document all this so she can get revenge later on in life.
But all in all he is a great big brother. We can't wait till she's old enough to play with him.
Hannah's 7 weeks old today. She's a great eater. We've finally figured out that when she's fussy during the day she just wants to be in her bed with her binky. We'll be holding her and rocking her and she'll fuss but the minute we lay her down in the bassinet she mellows right away. Too funny she's already independent. We can handle her little bouts of fussiness during the day because this little girl has figured out that sleeping is important. At 5 weeks she jumped from 3 hours at a time to 6. And for the past week she has been sleeping consistently 7-8 hours at a time. We LOVE that about her.

I caught this on tape today... neither of them knew I was recording. I like to call this the "dino dance".


And here's a little bit of Ashton! Don't let him fool you. He's not that good in nursery. He's having serious separation anxiety. Someone please make it stop!

haha, I can't get over that dinosaur dance. I still don't know how you're doing it with two, simply amazing. Of course when she's sleeping 7-8 hours, i'm sure that helps. Seriously, Kellen just started doing that a couple months ago, soooo not fair.

I think Ashton and David need to teach us all the Dino Dance on Saturday. He isn't even two and he already has better moves than I do.

HAHA! The Dino Dance is classic! Well done sneaking that on camera.

ahh Sammy, I just have to giggle at the sibling love. I am glad Maggie is normal! Also I love the picture of Ashton in the baby swing...all too familiar. I need to call you and coordinate a day we can get together while your out here!

when you figure out the nursery separation anxiety thing let me know. both my kids freak when we try and leave them too, so ready for them to get over that. Hows it going with 2 little babies??? They are soooo stinkin cute.
