16 and 17 Weeks

Looks like I'm a bit behind again!  Here are the highlights from the last two weeks. 

16 Weeks Old!

We got a new-to-us jumper.  Hazel is a little small for it, but she looks really cute!

We had a fun (and very hot) morning at the park with friends.  I managed to only take a picture of Hazel!

I can't get enough of this cute girl!

And put the two of them together - oh my cuteness!

We got professional portraits done of Emery several times throughout her first year, so we are trying to keep up with that for Hazel too.  These are a few of her 3 Month(ish) portraits. 

Daddy turned 31!  Abraham and I met when we were 21, and now here we are almost a decade later with a nice little life and two gorgeous children!

17 Weeks Old!

Getting so big :)

We set up Hazel's high chair, and she seems to enjoy sitting in it.  We're not going to start solids yet, but it's nice to have her with us for meals.

Sweet sister snuggles

Emery started PK3 this week.  I thought I'd try and get a Pinterest-worthy photo.  As you can tell, Emery was not on board with my idea!

She really was happy though, and she loves school!

Hazel and I have enjoyed our one-on-one time while big sister is in school.

But it's good to be reunited again after school!

We are enjoying a visit from Grandma and Grandpa this weekend.

Have a great Labor Day!

14 and 15 weeks

In an effort to catch up, this will cover the last 2 weeks!

14 Weeks!

Pretty girl looks so much like Daddy!

Enjoying an afternoon of lower than normal temps

Pizza night!

Big girl trying to hold her bottle

Always so happy!

Finally caught the ice cream truck!

Trying to sleep without a swaddle (trying being the operative word)

15 Weeks!

Trying (again) to sleep without a swaddle.  She can go to sleep just fine, but staying asleep is a different story.

First day of our new therapy day program!

Celebratory lunch

Trying out Sophie the Giraffe

Emery loves our new tent!

Emery got to model for an online clothing/accessory boutique this week.  This was my favorite of the 3 outfits she modeled.  And we got to keep the clothes!

Love our sweet girl and all her wild hair!

Hazel ~ Three Months

Our happy little Hazel was 3 months old yesterday!

What an angel!

13 Weeks

Hazel was 13 weeks old yesterday!  We have had a jam-packed, fun-filled week, so be prepared for LOTS of pictures!

On Sunday, I tried to get a cute picture of the girls in their coordinating church clothes.  I always take a million pictures so that I get at least one good (or decent) one.  Unfortunately I timed this poorly, and it was after church but before lunch.  The results speak for themselves!

Hazel is a really happy baby, as evidenced by this picture!

Tuesday marked the start of Daddy's vacation!  Grandma Jean came to visit, and many adventures were had.

First up, we headed to the St. Arnold's brewery for a tour and beer tasting.

That night, Grandma stayed home with the girls so we could go out.  We had dinner in Galveston and then went to the Pleasure Pier to enjoy the rides!

We specifically asked Grandma Jean to come so that she could stay home with Hazel one day.  Emery has been a trooper since Hazel was born, so we wanted to treat her to a special day just for her!

First up, donuts!

Next we went to Moody Gardens for the day.  We had such a good time and bought season passes, so we will be back soon for sure!

Our first stop was the aquarium pyramid which was awesome, but hard to photograph!

Then we watched the Rio 4D movie.  Fun!

Next stop was the Rainforest Pyramid.  It was very warm but beautiful, and we saw birds like the ones in the movie!

We saved the most exciting part for after lunch.  Emery loves swimming/splash pads, so we knew she'd love the Palm Beach water park.

We were right.  She had a blast!  Her favorite part was the water slide, and she rode it at least 15 times (some with us, and some by herself).

I grew up going to Schlitterbahn a lot, and we'd always get Dip N Dots, so I had to carry on the tradition!  It was a yummy way to end our day.

But the fun wasn't over for the week.  Thursday morning, we all loaded in the car and drove to Brenham.  We had lunch at a diner at the Brenham Municipal Airport.

Then we toured the Blue Bell factory!  YUM!

It was a great week, but we are worn out!
