6 months old

Here he is... my little handsome boy. He is 6 months old now. He is so yummy. I am still nursing him (longest so far). He is more than I ever thought a little boy would be. I am crazy about this guy.

We took him to the doctor today and her are his stats:
weight is 18lbs- 63%
head is 40%
height is 93%



He has started sitting up. The Bumbo helps but he is doing pretty well on his own. We put him in this when we feed him his cereal. He got to have pears for the first time today!
He has started holding his own bottle. So big....

While we were eating dinner last night we put him in the highchair and gave him Cheerios. He didn't really eat them but it kept him busy while we ate.
He spends lots of time in his exersaucer these days.

Family Pictures- Sneek Peek

We had family pictures taken this week. Here are just a few she e-mailed me. I can't wait to see all of them.

This is the one I used for our Christmas cards.

Disney World

We went to Disney World this last week with Mom, Emma, Jen, Camilla and Julianna. It was so much fun. The girls were great on the plane ride over and so excited when we got there.
This was one of the first rides we rode. It was fun but the favorites were Peter Pan (with Tappy Hoot aka Captain Hook) and Dumbo. Savanna loved Splash Mountain. She even went on the Haunted Mansion. My favorites were the Tower of Terror and Space Mountain.


Sadie loved all the Princesses and Characters. She had to give each of them a kiss and wouldn't let them leave until she did so.


We ate at awesome places while we were there. Cinderella's Castle, where we saw "La La" and Akursas in Norway Epcot with Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, Bell, Arial and Snow White (Toe White).


Waiting for dinner with the Princesses.

This was the crew. These girls just got a prize from "Day" which kept them very busy while we were in Hollywood Studios.
We also got to see the cast from Jo Jo Circus.Sadie loved the Tea Cups.

We saw 3 parades while we were there. The girls dressed up one day and got lots of attention from the Characters. Sadie would see them turn the corner and light up saying over and over who was coming.

Mom taught the girls how to "pin trade" while we were there. Sadie loved it. She would wear her favorites and trade anything for a Micky or Minnie. She also got a Tappy Hoot, Pooh, Peter Pan and Wendy, just to name a few.The longest line we waited in while we were there was 50 min to see Arial. To make the time go by faster we ordered lunch and ate it while we waited in line. And, she was worth the wait,

These rice crispy Micky ears were the best snack!
At the Animal Kingdon we got to see the cast of Lion King. Sadie was in heaven.
We went to Ohana for dinner and celebrated Savanna and Julianna'a birthdays.
Sadie asked for gum every day of our trip. But, Disney doesn't sell gum so she got to get this huge sucker. She ate the whole thing.

Sadie took a really late nap and didn't wake up til 6pm one night so she got to have a late night with me and mom at Downtown Disney. We saw this statue along with one of Micky and Minny and she kept running back and forth between them giving them kisses and hugs.
The girls got princess dolls to play with and had fun playing with them in the Hotel the day it rained. The were so cute and creative.

We stayed at the Contemporary Bay Lakes Tower Hotel. It was just finished in February and there is a huge tub. The girls could see Cinderella's Castle and fireworks while taking their baths each night. Such lucky girls.

5 months old

Jackson is 5 months old. He is such a big boy. He is an angle. He is so easy and sweet. I sure do love this little boy.


Two things about this picture.
1. He is sleeping on his back. When he learned how to roll over this was a problem for a few days. But we let him cry and figure it out on his own so now he can fall asleep while on his back.
2. He is sucking his thumb! WHAT.... I have given this boy a passy since he was born and he loved it. Why has he replaced it with his thumb? I have kept forcing the passy but he spits it out and goes for the thumb instead. Oh no....

Swine Flue

Well we got it... We were so sick and didn't leave our house for a solid week. And, we are just now feeling better and it has been 2 weeks. I sure am glad it is over. I got sick first and two days later Danny and the girls had fevers. Thank goodness Jackson stayed well. Thanks to our sweet neighbors Arlynn and Debbie who took him for hours at a time to let us rest and disinfect his room and thanks to Katrina and Karen for the food and drinks.

We wore masks when Jackson was around. Sadie was scared of them at first but once she saw Savanna with one on she wanted one herself.





Check out all the medicine. This is what we were taking on a daily basis.

We kept Jackson well by bathing him constantly. He got about two baths a day and we sanitized his hands about 10 times a day. He was so clean.


Savanna and Sadie got very creative being stuck inside without leaving our house for a week. Since everyone was so freaked out by the Swine Flue, I kept them on our porch for the first 5 days before I would let them go outside around any other kids. They had fun playing on the porch.

After playing with every toy they had and getting really bored, a package arrived in the mail. It was from "Day" and was the Little People Thanksgiving set and the Nativity Scene. They had so much fun playing with this and it couldn't have arrived at a better time. Thanks Day.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year. The girls wanted to dress up as princesses and have Danny be the prince. With a little convincing, it happened. Jackson got to be Cinderella's pumpkin.



Jen and Dave brought the kids over. Blake and Baylee were so cute.
Here he is, our Prince Charming. What a great sport Danny was. He looks awesome in tights.

This is probably Sadie's favorite holiday. I know she was cold while we were trick-or-treating because her nose was red but she didn't care. She would eat a piece of candy after leaving each house and walking to the next. She seriously thought she was in heaven. Look how excited she is to pour out her pumpkin to see what she got.Savanna's first choice out of her pumpkin was pretzels. Then, after taking only 2 things of smarties, she told me she was ready to hang her candy on the tree so the witch could come get it and leave her a prize.

Emma stopped by dressed as Marilyn Monroe. She looked gorgeous.

Putting on Makeup

I know everybody says it but I am watching it happen.... These little girls are best friends.
I love watching them play together. The were watching me get ready and wanted to put makeup on too. I love how still Sadie is being and how Savanna is holding her head still.

Sadie is so proud of her pretty lips. You can't see her "eye" makeup because they were using lip gloss.

Nanna is so brave as Sadie approaches her with that Q-Tip.
