The Tooth Fairy Knows Where We Live!

Yes, the Tooth Fairy visited our house Sunday night! Hannah lost her first tooth! She decovered it was loose about a month before. We had been talking about one of her friends that had just lost her first tooth and I asked her if she had any yet. She told me no and left the room. A minute later she came running back in telling me that she did in fact have a loose tooth! We were all so excited! This was big news in our house!

So, over the weeks that followed, it got looser and looser until Sunday night it was just barely hanging on. After church we came home for supper and Kris asked her if he could see it. He kept saying "Come on. Just let me pull it out?" She laughed and said no. However, she kept letting him look at it and move it around. Finally, I think they both heard a little crack and out it came! She was the funniest thing about it. She just giggled and giggled. It was adorable. We all were excited. When she noticed it was bleeding some, I could tell she didn't know quite what to think. But she just kept giggling. It was a sweet little milestone moment.

Of course, we had to leave the tooth for the Tooth Fairy in her little Tooth Fairy pillow that her Grandma got her. She loved the idea of putting her tooth in it.

Can't you tell she was so excited to go to bed and see what the Tooth Fairy would leave her in the morning?!

Well, the Tooth Fairy left her a $2 bill. She took it to school the next day. She really wanted to show everyone. She got to sign the big tooth at school as well. I know this was a big deal for her as she has been watching other kids in class do this over the last several weeks. Fun stuff. I can't believe my little girl is old enough to start losing teeth!

Faces

I'll just let all the pictures speak for themselves!

Layton is 3 months!

My sweet boy! You are 3 months old today! You have really begun to fill out this month. You are eating every 3 hours mostly. You are nursing well and much quicker. It usually takes you about 15-20 minutes to eat--unless you are sleepy and it drags out a bit more. You are in 0-3 months clothes still, but are about to break into the 3-6 months stuff I think. You are wearing a size 1 diaper. Today you weighed 12 lbs 15 oz. The rolls are really starting to show!

9 1/2 weeks

You have started noticing the toys on your bouncy seat really well but just can't quite figure out how to grab them yet, but you try hard. You really like to kick your legs when in your bouncy seat too.


You and Lincoln are becoming buddies. One day I put you down on the floor with him in the playroom while he was watching tv. He went and got you both blankets and covered you up and made you all comfy. You didn't seem to mind. Now sometimes, you DO mind things Mr. Lincoln does to you. He likes to get in your face. You can only take so much! For the most part though, he is pretty sweet to you. When he gets home from school most days, he asks me "How's Bud, Mom?" I just love this! He still loves to kiss on you all the time too!

At 10 1/2 weeks, I decided you should sleep in your own bed. I wasn't sure how Lincoln or you would handle this, but to my surprise, you both did wonderfully! Lincoln has not messed with you and stays pretty quiet (with some reminders mind you). He even manages to stay asleep some how when you wake up and cry. So, this has been a pretty smooth transition. I quit propping you up with the boppy pillow because your reflux was better. I was swaddling you with the swaddle blanket but you would always manage to get yourself out of it somehow and so now you are pretty much unswaddled when you sleep. You cry out a little a couple of times a night needing your pacy put back in. So, I get up and stick it back in and you go back to sleep. You are going 7-9 hours straight between feedings at night. Last night you went from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. That is the best you have done yet! Naps are whenever and wherever we can get them. If I am out and about, you sleep in your carseat. If we are home, I put you in your bed. We are not very scheduled with naps because our schedule is so crazy, but you take 3-4 naps a day. You are good about just letting me lay you down in your bed awake and you go right to sleep. I just try to watch for those sleepy signs.

Here is Hannah reading you a little book she made at school. Your big brother and sister just love you!

11 weeks - You like to be sung to and have us move your hands. You just grin and look so happy. You keep your hands in fists still most of the time, but are just about to start really noticing them. We have caught you looking at them a couple of times. I can't wait till you can hold your toys!

I just had to take your picture in the hat. Lincoln wore this outfit when he was 6 weeks old. It didn't fit you till around 12 weeks.

12 1/2 weeks

This picture is from today. It got out of order. I love your droopy cheeks.

You have figured out how to blow bubbles. I think you may be starting to teethe a bit too because you have really been chewing on your hands and drooling.

You are smiling so big! No laughs yet but we've been trying!

You are a sensitive little guy. You get your feelings hurt easily. You know how to let me know when you are really hungry. You love bath time. I am sure I'm forgetting some things about you right now, but this is all I can remember right now. You are just the most precious little thing. You still look just like Hannah to me and sometimes I even have a little deja vu. Most people still think you look like Hannah.

You at 3 months!

1st Soccer Game!

Hannah had her first soccer game yesterday!! She was so excited. Daddy, well, he was nervous. :-) Here she is all ready for the game to start. Her uniform about swallowed her whole!

The first thing they did was do a little warming up.

Lincoln got to do some of the warm up with them. He really wanted to be out there on that field with all the kids.

Already tired? Maybe just a bit bored waiting for the game to start.

Coach Kris had to give them all a pep talk before the game started. I love Hannah's sweet face listening to her Daddy.

And they're off!!

This picture is awesome! Can't you just feel all the fun they were having? Just look at their faces! Ha! I love the little red-headed boy's face on the left side. Hilarious!

The next two pics are probably my favorite. Kris was telling her she was doing a good job.

Then, he kissed her on the top of the head. Awww!

Meanwhile, Lincoln really wanted to play so Uncle Jeff, who came to watch, took him and played with him for a while. Then, they came back over and watched from the side lines.

Hannah ran her little heart out!

Good game!!

Afterwards, Kris told them all they did a great job. We didn't really keep score. The other team had one little boy that will probably be on the Olympic soccer team one day. He was THAT good. He made quite a few goals, but our team made several as well. It was probably pretty even. It didn't matter though. Hannah never once said anything to me about winning or losing the game. She just had great fun and learned about being on a team! Love it!
