Annie and Jack Updates

I know, I am a terrible blogger.  I have 3 months of pictures on my camera that I need to upload and actually print out!  Life with 2 while working is definitely keeping me on my toes!  But I do have to say, I just love my little family.  Jack is a handful, for sure!, he is growing so fast and really is a big boy now.  He talks constantly (I can't imagine WHERE he got that from), and wants you to repeat whatever he says...I guess he wants to make sure I understand him?  He is obsessed with all things boy: trucks, trains, construction equipment, animals, balls, climbing, the works.  He loves chicken nuggets, soy sausage (don't ask), bananas, raisins, berries and juice.  But what Jack loves more than anything is "baby" aka Annie.  Whenever she isn't around he is asking about her, I think he is worried I will forget her?  If she cries, Jack goes RUNNING. 

Annie continues to be a dream baby.  Lately she has been sleeping from 9:30/10ish-7:30!!! hurray!!  She is really a happy little girl and mostly content...except for when she hears Jack....she has a VERY nervous look on her face whenever he is around, and I can't say I blame her!  He always tries to be gentle but ends up squeezing her too tight or "kissing" her with his teeth.  In the morning and at night she is happiest and loves to talk to you and smile, I am guessing this is because Jack isn't around? 

I promise to upload some pictures soon.  Until then, enjoy our life via cell phone pictures.  Gotta love the iphone!!

Annie's Photoshoot

Sorry it's been so long since a blog post...having two babies can be exhausting!  Whenever I have them both down I find myself trying to pass out as well :)  Things are going great.  Jack has been learning to be a little more gentle which is awesome.  He still has his moments but it is so sweet to see how much he loves Annie.  He is always wondering where the baby is if she isn't with us and if he hears her crying in her crib he goes RUNNING and climbs up on her crib to make sure she is ok.  Jack's vocabulary is growing and it is so cute to watch.  He is still obsessed with trains "choo-choo's" and loves to read about animals and trucks.  He is as wild as ever and I am so thankful for some of the nice days we have had around here so he can run and climb outside. 

Some Annie updates:  I don't want to totally jinx myself but the last 4 nights Annie has been sleeping through the night!  7-8 hours...I will take it!!   She had some serious belly button issues this past week...she is 6 weeks old and it hadn't fallen off yet and was super gooey and gross.  We finally got in to the doctor this week and got that fixed up....it was nasty.  She has started smiling and is just precious.  I couldn't imagine loving anyone as much as I loved Jack until I had Annie.  She is such a doll and I love every second of having her.  When she was 2 weeks old we had a photo shoot with Tracey Sanders.  We even got a few pictures of Annie and Jack together but this was when he was still very rough so Annie looks terrified (rightfully so!).  To view the pictures go to:
