Hannah is 3 months!

I'm a little tardy on this post because poor Hannah came down with her first cold last week and wasn't feeling well (and neither was Mommy!). Thankfully, she is coughing far less now and seems to be feeling almost back to normal. We are so glad the smiles have returned to our happy baby girl!

Here are a few shots from her 3 month photo op...( she wasn't feeling well at all and we had to work hard to coax these smiles out of her, but she gave us a few good ones, bless her heart!)



(Couldn't get these rotated... sorry!)


A few Hannah facts at 3 months:
-She's weighing in a little under 14 pounds on our scale and feels "solid" now.
-She's been trying to sit up a lot and loves to "stand" on our legs while we hold her.
-She loves to smile and will even stop several times while nursing to flash me a big grin. Her big sister also loves to make her smile.
- She's still sleeping very well (sometimes through the night after a dream feed), THANK YOU LORD for answering our prayers with a "yes" in this area!!!!
- She's a joy to our family and we're starting to feel more adjusted to being a family of four. I am finally at a point where it's hard to remember my daily life without her!

Here are some comparison shots of the girls at 3 months just for fun :

Alisal 2013

A couple weeks ago, we trekked up to the Solvang area to The Alisal Ranch for our annual family reunion. It is always such a special family time and it was fun to introduce Hannah to some new family members, as well as to this place that we love.

Abigail had a blast, rocking her new pink cowgirl boots and spending her days looking at animals in the petting zoo, riding her special horse "Cactus" around the corral, swimming, visiting the arts and crafts room, and getting in some quality time with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Matthew, and Aunt Tara.

Some shots from our traditional Pancake Breakfast out at the Old Adobe...

Yummy Pancakes and Hot Chocolate!

We had a fabulous time and both girls slept great, all things considered! It was a great first vacation as a family of four.
