Hannah is 2 months!

Our sweet little Hannah turned 2 months Thursday.  What a fast 2 months it  has been!  I am enjoying my maternity leave with both Hannah and Parker and I can't believe I only have 4 weeks left!  I could seriously get used to not having to work - hah!

I don't have any "doctor" stats on Hannah yet - she has her check-up next week, so stay tuned!  However, in the past several weeks, Hannah has accomplished several new things:

1) sleeps through the night - goes to bed between 9-10pm and wakes up between 5-6am

2) sleeps in her own room in her crib

3) takes a paci, but doesn't need it all the time (she likes to have it if she's a little fussy)

4) eats 4-5 times a day and eats 6oz each time

5) loves the bouncy seat, but not much of a fan of the swing right now

6) is getting better with tummy time

7) takes a long afternoon nap on her tummy in her crib

8) loves to be held and wrapped in a blanket

9) does not like to be cold

10) likes to be talked to and will smile really big at Brad and I

For Hannah's 2 month old celebration, we went to eat at Olive Garden with a gift card one of Brad's students had gotten him.  Parker and I shared some pizza, salad and a breadstick.  This was Hannah's first trip to a real "sit down" restaurant and both kiddos did a great job, even though they look kindof sad in this picture - hah!

We came home and the kiddos watched Parker's reading video before bedtime.  If we only knew what Parker and Hannah were thinking during these pics. . . . 

 

Hannah, you are very precious and I can't believe you are already 2 months old!  I can't wait to see how you grow and change in the next 2 months! 

Dentist Visit

Parker had his 6 month check up at the dentist this week.  We love our "rock star" dentist Dr. Bongiovi (pronounced Bon Jovi).  Isn't that an awesome name?  He is super nice and the entire practice is just great!  Parker got another great report - teeth look good and healthy!  Our new homework is to begin flossing! 

We get our picture made with the beaver every time we go, so it's great to see how Parker changes every 6 months.

January 2011 - 2 years 4 months 

May 2010 - 20 months (his very first visit) 

PK and Hannah

PK and Hannah are getting along pretty good.  Every day Parker seems to get more comfortable with her being around.  He has brought her bottle to me twice and he pats her on the head.  I think once she gets more upright and moves around more, they'll have great fun together!

Hannah is growing and her little cheeks are starting to fill out.  We go for her 2 month check up at the end of this upcoming week, so we are curious to see what percentile she will be in.  We weighed her the other day and we think she's about 12lbs and she's probably grown about 3 inches because she's definitely longer!

Last week Parker, Hannah and I ran some errands and when we were leaving the store, we saw these geese sitting in the grass area between the parking lot and the exit road.  I had to do a double-take because I thought they were fake.  We rolled down the window and they started honking - really cool! 

See - don't they look like a decoy?? 

After our errands, we ate lunch at Chick-fil-A.  As if I needed another reason to love CFA, but they now serve grilled nuggets in the kids meal!!  Hannah slept while Parker and I enjoyed our lunch together. 

After Chick-fil-A, we went to the park.  It had just rained the past 2 days, so it was a little wet, but Parker didn't care and neither did Jake.  Both boys loved being outside and being able to run around! 

You can't really tell by this pic, but by the time we were done, Parker was soaked from head to toe!  He didn't care and luckily I had remembered to bring a change of clothes.

Most times when one of us holds Hannah, Parker wants to sit with us too.  It's very sweet and both Brad and I enjoy the time we get to hold both of our little ones.  Dad usually tells a story and Parker loves it and Hannah just stares at Daddy!

Jake is a good big brother with Hannah.  It's kindof hard to see, but he's got his paw on her back - so sweet! 

Our little Hannah

Hannah has done 2 new things . . . 1) she has taken a pacifier and 2) she has slept through the night for a week straight! 

I was very anti-paci until one night when she was fussy and nothing would calm her down until I gave her a paci!  She instantly took it and was content for 2 hours straight!  After that, I have changed my thinking on the pacifier, but we don't give it to her that much - only when she's a little fussy and needs to be calmed down. 

 

Hannah has become a great sleeper, just like her big brother!  At 6 weeks, she slept through the night for the first time!  She is currently on a roll with sleeping through the night for 1 week straight!

We put Hannah in her own room for the first time Friday night and it took her 10 minutes to fall asleep, she didn't fuss AND she slept until 5:45am!  Go Hannah Go!  By the way, this is what we see on our monitor, so we can keep our eye on our little one!  We LOVE our monitor!
