It's been a while

Well it's been a while since I posted and since I even downloaded pictures to my computer. I had only take 32 pictures in the last two months!! I've been trying to do better again though! The kids are both doing really well.

Allie is such a big helper, she loves on her brother (most of the time) She is getting so smart she has figured out how to write a few of her letters on her own, and recognizes many letters. She loves to count and has started trying to figure out rhyming words. She also "spells" things out for us (her just saying random letters)

Lane is moving EVERYWHERE. He can go all around and has recently added up and down!! He is such a sweet baby. He is almost always happy, and is such a joy to be around. He just got his 3rd and 4th teeth in the last week or so-the main reason for his not so happy moments.

We feel so blessed to have such fun kiddos!!

My scooting boy

This was the day he learned to pull up before Daddy had lowered his crib!

I almost had a heartattack, he was leaning down looking for his paci!!

My pretty princess (with straight hair)


Little Valentine
(with the cake KK made her)

Lane and his MawMaw Hilda-he laughed and laughed at her (then she laughed back, and they kept on laughing-so cute)

Well we'll see you next time!!!!

Lane's Teeth

Not sure you can really see them in this picture, but Lane got his first two teeth in the last week. They are pretty cute!

Lane's trying to move...

Lane's been trying to move around. It's quite funny. I'm not really ready for him to be super mobile, but he'll probably be crawling sooner than I'd like...He'll be 6 months two weeks from today! Time is FLYING with my two sweet babies.

Daisy Duck (II)

Here is a picture of Allie watching Daisy Duck eat her (really his) food. She would get so excited when Daisy would take a bite! This is our 3rd fish the other 2 died within 24 hours. We kinda think that maybe something was wrong with them to start out with (at least that's what I keep telling myself). So Daisy is on her 3rd day as our pet. Allie's enjoying watching her swim-she's a really pretty blue Betta fish!!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch today with our MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) group. We all had a great time. We got to hear a story, go out into the pumpkin patch and then we got to go and have a snack with pumpkin (orange) juice. Aunt Bridget came with us this year and Melanie and Haley also came....Here are some of the pictures I took

Allie is focused on the story

Haley and Lane-they were trying to hold hands for a while!

Siamese scarecrow

She wouldn't smile so I told her to fake laugh-this is what I got.

Sweet babies

Notice the pumpkin in the carriage....

Notice all three kiddos are looking at something to their left...

Daisy Duck

Well she isn't getting quite a big of a welcome as Minnie Mouse, but our home has welcomed its 2nd pet (in as many days) Daisy Duck-the fish. Hopefully she will live a long fishie life in her fish bowl!

Minnie didn't make it

We woke up to a "sleeping" Minnie Mouse. Pop's going to come over and go with us to get a new one =( Allie was a little sad, but I think she's excited to go back to the pet store. Everyone pray that this one doesn't die in less than 24 hours!
