Daddy daughter weekend at the cabin

Nate and Emmie went to the cabin over the weekend for a little daddy daughter bonding time. They always have a great time there, and mommy appreciates the quiet one on one time with Hayden!

Emmie loves her little sis!

Emmie and Hayden love to snuggle in mommy and daddy's bed when they wake up every morning!

Dance graduation

Emmie has been taking dance, tap and gymnastics at Little Gym for several months now, and today was awards day - she got her very first medal, and she did such a great job! Mommy was so proud to see her come out of her shell finally, and it was so much fun to watch her confidence in herself and how much more she is willing to do than we first started. Here are a few pics, and at the bottom are a couple videos - the first is her on the awards stand with her teacher Sandy talking about her improvement, and the second one is part of her little dance routine - sorry it's sideways, I can't figure out how to flip it!

Movie night!

Friday night was mommy/daughter movie night - Emily and I took Jordyn and Emmie to see Hotel for Dogs. They loved the idea of going to the theater, but the movie itself was a bit old for them - they were really only interested in the scenes with the dogs - go figure! :) The rest of the movie was a little boring for them, but they both did great, and we all ate our weight in popcorn and candy, so it was a fun night!

Can you tell who this is?!

Hayden is 3 months old

Our little baby is getting big quickly! Hayden is developing such a little personality, smiles all the time, and is giggling now, too! She's become very aware of her surroundings, and loves to watch big sister's every move. She is still sleeping like a champ through the night - 8+ hours at a time, BUT, now that she knows there is a fun world around her, she refuses to nap! We are amazed at how a 3 month old can keep herself awake for such long periods of time, but she does it.

Hayden and Emmie continue to look more and more alike, in fact, it's hard to really put a finger on what exactly is different about Hayden than Emmie as a baby!
