Family Pictures

I decided it was time to add Henry to a family picture. It was hard when he was little to get a good picture and not just a baby looking like a blob! Today Caroline came over and got some great pictures.
It is amazing that we got any good pictures at all! It seemed like someone was crying or not looking at the camera. James' hair was not cooperating so he wore a hat. I made the mistake of spiking his hair last night while drying Ansley's hair straight. Who knew it would still look the same the next morning.

 Henry is happily screaming at Caroline!

 This picture I like to call my jack-o-lantern!! It is amazing that she can chew food with that many holes in her mouth.

 Ansley was on fire with her smile today! Aunt Caroline can always bring it out.

 This is how he hangs with Caroline.

I think we have finally convinced Caroline to start her own photography business!! So excited for her. She is amazing!

Disney on Ice

I took the kids on Friday night to see Disney on ice. Pretty sure I won for the most excited. The kids had no idea of the magical atmosphere they were about to be introduced to! As soon as Mickey and Minnie stepped out their jaws hit the floor and their eyes never left the ice. I can't wait to introduce them to the real magic... Disney World!! The only thing that would have made the night complete was if I had a Mickey mouse ice cream bar!



Let the fun begin!






The moment the show started!





A pirate enjoying the princess show while eating out of his princess cup!





Some of the girls from Ansley's Daisy troop!

Playing around

Henry spent the day with Grandma and came home with some new kicks!!! Usually when kids get their first shoes they want to rip them off. Henry doesn't even care he almost walks faster. He is not walking yet but getting there! He gets the biggest giggle when he is walking holding my fingers.
Playing at My parents!


So excited!


Can you tell Henry is almost over the togetherness!



She can't keep her hands off of him!


Talking to Oscar.


Showing off his new shoes!

Safety day!

Last weekend we went to the Johns Creek safety community day. We were able to get our car seats checked and the kids had a blast! This was little boy heaven!
Watching the jaws of life pull a dummy out of the car!








Ansley hard at work at home depot making a fire truck!









So cool!!


On the little red fire truck! When the siren wasn't going James was helping out with his interpretation!

When Ansley gets bored

At least once a week I find numerous pictures on my phone of Ansley making all kinds of faces!!


















The pictures aren't the best quality because my phone is cracked! But you get the gist! She is too funny!! Love her!

The run down

What have we been doing the last two weeks?? Chasing Henry everywhere, answering all 500 of James' why questions, getting Ansley better from walking Pneumonia, and so much more.
James:
He is still loving preschool. He Is such a happy kid. He loves playing outside. And can't wait until Ansley's gets off the bus. His newest saying is "it will take for hours!"


Henry has learned how much fun it is to play with James' toys. James does a great job sharing however I do find him behind the table playing with the firetruck
where Henry can't find him.


My cute boy!


Ansley
She is growing up so fast. Last week she had walking pneumonia. Scary! Once she had
Antibiotics, musinex, and Tylenol she got her color back!
We had her parent teacher conference last week. She is exceeding in all areas! We couldn't be more proud.
This is how I found her asleep! She keeps all her chapter books under her pillow. There are at least 6 under her head!


Big sister always a little mommy! Sometimes I wonder if I should run things by her:)


Henry
He is a talker! He loves his voice. He can say baba, dada, momma, and then can scream really loud just for fun or in demand of more food! He favors his daddy over me. Bob walks through the door and Henry can't handle it. He squeals and would run if he could! He is infatuated with vehicles. He will squirm to see a car passing the driveway and watch it until it is completely gone! He has learned to climb stairs. Mostly the basement ones. He is a determined kid!



His pose of the week... "oh no!"


His favorite thing to do when I am doing the laundry!





Hanging with James in the newly carpeted basement while Ansley is at school.


I foresee the teenage years!!

9 months old

Henry is nine months!! He is on the move and not looking back. He is able to get anywhere fast! He can pull up and transfer from furniture to furniture. This past week he practiced standing up and sitting back down. It was super cute to watch. He still worships his siblings and hates to be home alone with me while the other two are at school. He is becoming more intrigued with James and his cool toys. James is very patient but not so sure about this!
Henry is a very determined boy. His favorite thing to do is pull up on the toilet seat, unplug the cable box, and the ultimate is to dump the dogs water bowl over. He was very proud of himself when he climbed up one step tonight!this morning at breakfast the older two taught him to scream, which he likes to use in public! He can say mama and dada. He has the cute baby talk down. He will be playing by himself and just start chatting away! He has three teeth and the fourth one on its way! He is still my champ at teething. When he teethes he seems to just sleep more. No complaints here.
His stats from his check up are:
Weight: 22.1 (75th)
Height: 29 1/4 (90)
Head: 18 1/4 (80)
James at 9 months:
Weight: 21.12
Height: 30 1/4
Head: 18 3/4
Ansley at 9 months
Weight: 18.9
Height: 27 inch
Head: 18 inch
The one thing all three of them have in common is there head circumference! So proud! Henry is still staying strong with James' stats.
He found the doggy door!


This is the angle we see a lot these days.






I foresee our future in this picture.


Playing with brother in the basement!


There's that sweet baby!
