6 months - Hattie Jane

Weight:  17 lbs 5 oz

Height:  26 1/2 in

To miss Hattie:

• You have started food.  You have only tried butternut squash so far but loved it.
• You wear size 3 diapers and are in 6-9 month clothes but I have a feeling in about a month will be moving to 9 month clothes.
• For the last month you have not been sleeping great.  The doctor said your gums were swollen so that could be causing it.  Who knows, but I would like it if you got back on your schedule, please :)
• You are doing the tri-pod wobbly sit but not sitting on your own just yet.
• Some days you don't make a peep and then the next day you talk ALL day long.
• Molly still adores you and you adore her.  She can make you laugh or smile just walking in the room.
• You are still a mommy's girl but will give out smiles to everyone as long as I am holding you.  
• I think your eyes are going to stay hazel.  We think you have your Nani's eyes because you certainly don't have brown ones like mom and dad.
• You have the most impeccable timing for pooping the minute we get in the car and drive off far enough from the house. You ALWAYS poop on the days I work and are on the way to the sitter.  She knows when you show up you will have to be changed and 70% of those times you have exploded out of your diaper.

Weekend With My Family

This past weekend Bret had to meet with a client that lived about 45 minutes from my parents so we took that as an opportunity to visit my family.  We got there Thursday night and left Monday morning so of course the weekend was full of fun.  This really should be two posts but I did not feel like it. 

It got really cold there so my mom made us and the kids go move the fire wood around to the back door, and yes the little ones helped.

Then the cows had to be fed.  My niece and nephew love to help feed.  Molly was not a huge fan.  She said there are just too many cows.

Love this little boy.  Colton always had on a hat of some sort.

He needs a little more driving practice.  He never looks at the road :)

Hattie loved jumping!

We had a tea party and everyone had to wear a hat.

Including my brother even if he was not aware of it.

Hattie was not left out either.

So much more happened but I am just keeping it short and sweet.

Good times, good times!

Check out These Locks

Can't you just see it!  All those whispy's?  Okay so maybe it is not a full head of hair but I think I could actually put a tiny bow in there.  This is Hattie at 5 1/2 months.  She already has Molly beat when Molly was this age.

This is Molly at 1 year old.  They basically have the same amount of hair.

I will try to post a baby picture of Molly and Hattie around the same age to see how similar they look.  Sometimes I think they look like each other but then sometimes they look so different.

Oh my! Yes we are still here!

Not a whole lot going on here.  We have been busy living life but not much to share.  Let's see:

We have committed to being Costco shoppers and it is going well.
Bret has been working like a mad man.  When he gets home from his job at the Diocese he usually eats dinner with us then leaves to work on his website business - Metro Design Loft.
I keep thinking I am going to get motivated and do some organizing but then the thought of it makes me tired.
While I love my Hattie girl she is beating me down.  She has turned into a mommy's girl and depending on her mood will tolerate somebody else holding her for about 5 seconds to 5 minutes.  That includes Bret.  However, if Molly could hold her I think Hattie would be okay with that.  She adores Molly and Molly adores her.  I am sure that will all change when Hattie starts getting into Molly's stuff.

This is all so interesting, right?!  I will stop boring you now. I just wanted to give a shout out so everyone knew we were still here.


Here are a few pictures of the girls.  Since it has been a warm winter I have been trying to take advantage and get outside as much as we can.

To Busy to Blog Because We Are Busy Saving the World

Saving the world from trees that is.  Here lately Molly has wanted to wear her super hero cape (a twin sheet) I mean every girl super hero needs a long cape flowing behind them.  We also have been hiding out in her castle (her closet), but I am starting to think that she is trying to hold Hattie and I prisoners there.  Once we get in there she will not let us leave and she just keeps giving me blocks telling me they are cheese to eat. Oh and I have no idea why we were saving the world from trees.  All that being said not much interesting going on here and I have not been taking ANY pictures. Hopefully soon I will get back into the blogging mode.
 

First Trip to the Dentist

Molly had her first trip to the dentist.  She saw Aunt Abby.... Dr. Mann, DDS.  We or I was very nervous about how she would do.  I mean it is one thing if she starts crying and refusing and it is someone you don't know but it was Aunt Abby and I wanted her to do so good.  Well Molly did awesome!!  I could tell Molly was very nervous but she cooperated and did great the whole time.  When we got in the car to leave.  She told me "mom I did good I did not even cry!"

If anybody is looking for a dentist Dr. Mann is working in Sunnyvale on Thursdays and Fridays:
