Ansley's 2nd Birthday

Ansley celebrated her 2nd birthday in Florida. We ate dinner at the beach house. Dinner was followed up by her birthday cake & ice cream. She LOVED us singing happy birthday to her & loved blowing out the candles even more! Madelyn helped her open the presents. Ansley had her special birthday party at Build-A-Bear. The girls were super cute. Ansley chose Hello Kitty & Madelyn chose a panda. Ansley loved giving her kitty a bath & brushing her hair! Madelyn named her panda Australian & prefers playing with him without the clothes she picked out for him. Ansley is sweet as she can be. She still has her terrible two's moments but she's slowly growing out of them. Ansley is a happy girl, always wearing a smile on her face. She loves greeting people on walks, stores, or where ever we go. Her favorite movie is Little People (she refers to it as ee i oh). She still loves playing with babies & her toy food. She's still our Baby Ansley!

Nolan 6 Weeks Old

Nolan is 6 weeks old today! I know its been forever since I've blogged. When I have time to mess around on the computer, I'm too tired, not inspired, or need to be doing something else. Nolan is doing great! He is in the 90th percentile on height & weight. He weighs 11 lbs 11 ozs & is 23 inches long. He's wearing his 3-6 month clothes. The top of his head is still bald. I gave up dairy & chocolate b/c he was especially cranky with gas pains. It seems to be helping. He is sleeping better at night. He sleeps pretty well the first part of the night, then he gets squirmy & uncomfortable with gas pains. The best part about Nolan's age is his social smile! I love when he smiles at me:) He loves it when I talk to him with our faces close together. He stares at me very intensely & if I'm lucky he'll give me a smile!

Nolan went on his first vacation a couple of weeks ago to Destin. He did great on the drive sleeping most of the way. He only visited the beach a couple of times when we had shade for him. It was difficult choosing which family beach picture was the best this year. Jon's eyes were closed or squinted in every shot & my hair was blowing what looked to be 50 miles per hour in alot of the photos!!
