Big Brother ~ Little Sister

Here are some more favorites! As many of you know....Will is 2 minutes older than Hayden. Somehow we found a "Big Brother" shirt that was for a 3 month old. What an opportunity to remind everyone that we have a Big Brother and Little Sister! Mama with her little monkeys!
Big Brother & Little Sister.....she looks a little shocked and Will obviously knows he is the older sibling! :)

4 Months Old!

We had our 4 month checkup today! I can't believe our babies are already 4 months old! Will weighed in at 13 lb 14 oz and was 24 1/4 inches long. Hayden weighed 11 lb 11 oz and was 23 3/4 inches long. They are both doing great! They have each been a little sick but we are getting through it each day. Missing a couple hours of sleep is easily forgiven when they give us their big smiles the next morning.

Will & Hayden have really shown their personalities and are quite opposite! Will is very laid back, smiles and talks to us all the time, loves to cuddle and loves to watch football (he actually turns his whole body to see the TV when it is on). Hayden is our little drama queen! She loves to put her lip out and squeal then look to see if we are paying attention. She is very alert and loves to be the center of attention. Hayden has also decided she is going to be a thumb sucker. Mommy, Daddy & Susan are trying hard to kick her habit. She thinks it is a game so we will see how this goes. Hayden is also very in love with Will. She looks at him with such adoration while smiling and talking to him. He looks at her then looks away as if his 'little' sister is annoying him. It is very cute! Last night Cousin Jack & Aunt Ann came to visit. Jack took to Will right away....they even had mini conversations. It was great! But Jack didn't give as much attention to Hayden and she did not like it. She decided to throw the biggest hissy fit yet. Although our ears hurt from her screeches, it was pretty cute.

Will & Hayden are great babies! They go to daycare during the week (Susan is AMAZING) and they are very happy babies there! We play on their play mats most nights. They just started to fit in their exersaucers so this will be a new adventure. They also just discovered their fun crib entertainment centers. Will & Hayden also sleep during the night. We usually have baths around 8:30 then they eat, read a book and off to bed by 9:30 or so. We are very lucky that they sleep about 6 hours before they are hungry again. We have been spoiled that we have not had to get up much.....until Will got sick. We can't say enough how lucky we are to have such amazing children...as well as each other!

Her are some of our newest pictures of our 'Peanut' (Hayden) and 'Moose' (Will). We hope you enjoy! We are so blessed! Hayden with her pink 'ice cream cone' headband!
