Sibling Love

Noah loves kissing and hugging Hannah. Tonight he was on the ground trying to play with her.

Here he is playing with her toes:

Shaking her hand:

Giving her a hug:

And more hugs!:

SMILES!!!

It seems that almost everyday either Justin or I make a comment on how LUCKY we are to have two happy, content babies. They are so smiley and both are/were really easy when they were tiny (knock on wood. . . . Hannah's still tiny and I don't want to jinx anything!!!)

Here are our smiley kiddos:

Our smiling baby girl:

Our smiling baby boy:

To Noah & Hannah: Mommy & Daddy love you VERY much! Keep smiling kiddos!

Hannah's Baptism

Hannah's baptism was today. She has two lovely godparents, my brother Aaron is her godfather and our good family friend, Patty, is her godmother.

Hannah was able to wear my baptismal gown, which my mom had saved and gave to me as a shower gift. My little girl was so beautiful and only made a little whimper when the deacon started to pour the water on her head!

Here's Justin, me, Sierra (Patty's daughter) and Patty:

My baby girl, slept through it all!:

In Noah news, he is talking SO much lately!!! And today at church, when all the kids are invited to bring their offerings to the front of the church during the offertory, he walked up to the front of the church and put his dollar in the basket all by himself!!! He usually walks up with Mary and Ellie but they were singing in the childrens choir today. He looked so big and yet so small walking up to the alter all by himself. It really surprised Justin and I that he did it all by himself. He's just getting so much more independent, it's so bittersweet! I'll post some more pictures of both my sweet babies soon!

Like My Hat?!

Hannah's 1 Month Old!

Well, technically, tomorrow Hannah will be 1 month old but we also have Ellie's first communion tomorrow so I didn't know when I would have time to post this. I can't believe how fast the past 4 weeks have gone! I wish there was a "pause" button so I could freeze her and Noah so I could really relish where they are in life. It just blows my mind how fast they grow!

Here are a couple Hannah pictures: (a.k.a.: snickerdoodle & sweet pea)

Kicking!!
