Week 9

Another fun week has come and gone. Hayden and Shelby continue to keep me on my toes as always, but I would not ask for anything less. Hayden is doing very well at holding her head up these days, as well as cooing and smiling so much. She is a very active baby and kicks and kicks her legs so much that she even scoots herself off of her play mat sometimes. Shelby continues in her role as the loving big sister. She loves to give Hayden kisses, and give her sissy her paci, and be the designated diaper thrower awayer. I do not mind sharing that job with her. Chad had a Bachelor Party this past weekend, so instead of sitting at home the Girls and I packed up and traveled with Nana and Drew back to Carlos/College Station to visit with my family. We saw Nana and Pawpaw's new house and ran around with Aunt Kelli. Shelby also got to go to Lowe's and build a catapult with her boy cousins. We had a fun and crazy weekend that also included a little sprinkler and pool action in the backyard for Shelby and Garrett at Kelli and Trey's before heading home to see Daddy.

Week 8

Another week has come and gone so time for another update. Hayden is officially two months old, man how time if flying by. She went for her check up and immunizations and we found out she is weighing in at 12 lb. 12 oz. (90-95%) and is 24 & 1/4 inches long (97%). On a sad note both girls got their ears checked to see if the infections had cleared up, and sadly they have not. Both girls were put on another round of antibiotics.

Hayden took her first trip to Lovelady over the weekend where we hung out with The Monk family and had a fabulous time as always. Hayden also started really cooing and smiling even more this week. She has such a happy personality.

Shelby also had her end of the year program this week. She was so good singing "The Bumble Bee Song" on stage with her Ladybug class. Her Daddy and I were so proud she recieved flowers and was so excited.

Week 7

My beautiful girls are growing so fast. This week they both sadly developed ear infections. It doesn't seem to be phasing them too much though. We enjoyed Mother's Day three different times this week. On Saturday we celebrated with the McDaniel's in Conroe, where we met a restaurant. We had a dinner, let the kids run around and play, and Shelby even got to pet a horse. I then celebrated with my wonderful hubbie and girls on Sunday. My best gift was getting to sleep in till 9:30. I forgot how good it felt to sleep in. I also got a nails gift card and a shopping trip to my new favorite store Charming Charlie's. They also took me out to lunch and made me feel so special, loved and appreciated. I loved my day. We also celebrated with Mimi on Tuesday night by going out to dinner with some of the Gorman group for dinner at Outback. All in all it was a great week with my family.

Week 6

I had to return to work this week. I was so upset to have to leave my girls. I really enjoyed my maternity leave and close family time with them and cannot wait for the summer. I think Nana and Mimi have enjoyed so far since they have gotten to keep the girls. Hayden has also surprised us all as she is already rolling over and did it 3 times this week, she is so good.
