Long overdue

Here is the problem with blogging...Once I get behind, it's hard to make myself start back up. What is the proper way to enter the blogging world again? Do I go back and play "make-up" and talk about the things I've missed these last few months? Or do I start with what's current? This is the reason why I have taken so long to get back in the swing of things. We were busy with birthday parties and such and I got behind a few weeks, but then I just didnt' know how to start back up. So, this is what I've decided....I'm going to enter a few "mini-blogs" (if you will) and show some pictures of major events that I've missed. Then, I'll try to pick up with what's current. I guess I mainly hate that I missed blogging about Henry's 2nd birthday. But, mini blogs are in the works and will be coming out during naptime. Let me download some pics and you'll see them soon! Glad to be back!

Lucy's Baptism

I would love to write a lot about this, but we have so much going on right now. At this point, I'm just hoping to document the occassion. Hopefully things will slow down soon and I can really sit down and reflect.
A week ago Lucy Elizabeth Hill was baptised. It was such a special day for our family and I wanted to share a few pictures. Of course there is so much going on that day that we didn't get any pictures of Lucy alone in her gown, so we had a photo shoot at home a few days later.

snow days

Our house in the snow.

It was so nice having Anderson home for a 3 day weekend. The kiddos loved it, too!

Henry enjoyed his tricycle in the snowy weather!

Henry's crash! :) He was such a trooper. He went sledding on a cookie sheet. HA!

GO Henry!

My favorite picture!

This is Henry's new thing to do. He loves to "help" change Lucy's diaper. He gets the diaper for you, gets a wipe, closes the case, and puts it in the trash. What a helper.

Fresh out of the tub.

Lucy spent the snowy days inside. Yes, she's watching tv. :)

New "Tricks"

Lucy is getting so big! You can tell she's getting older as she sleeps less during the day and takes naps as opposed to constantly dozing off like a newborn. She is also loving her playmat. She is grabbing the toys and "talking" to them. It's so sweet! She just seems to be growing up so fast...too fast! Another "trick" is her wonderful sleeping! It seems like a magic trick and Mommy loves it!!! She slept in until 10am this morning!! Typically, she wakes up around 8 or 8:30 if she has her last bottle around 10pm. Love it!!

Henry's latest "trick" is funny but less exciting...at least for the mom that has to clean it all up. He is starting to really play with his food. He really "enjoys" anything in a cup. (yogurt, pudding, applesauce) After he eats about half of it, he starts rubbing it in his hands and smearing it all over the tray or table, and of course all over his face and hair. What a little stinker! He keeps me entertained and you just can't help but love him!

Big Boy, Big Bed

Well, this weekend we decided to try Henry out in his twin bed instead of the crib. He is always wanting to sit on the bed and read books on the bed, so we thought we'd see how he did with sleeping there. I tried it out at naptime first, and was checking on him every 5 minutes. I was so scared he'd dive over the bed rails while trying to stand up. To my surprise, he did great! So far, he has not even tried to climb out on his own. Anderson later decided that he'd rather him go back to the crib since the twin beds are so high up and he was scared he'd fall off. Well, that's not going to happen. Now that Henry had a few naps and nighttimes in the "big bed" he doesn't want to sleep in the crib anymore. I guess that's a good thing. Here's a picture of him waking up from naptime. He's getting so big!
