Owen- 9 weeks old

This week, Owen has really come alive and has begun to show some personality! You have been smiling from ear to ear, cooing sweet little noises and are very entertained by your sister. 

I love seeing that smile and you and I have been enjoying some evening conversations of coos, gagas and laughs. I treasure our evening quiet time, reserved just for you and me. 

Owen- 10 weeks old!

This is what happens when you have a big sister!

Another snow day = Valentine's photo shoot

Hanging out together... The superbowl is in NJ!




Can't get enough of my big sister!

 

27 weeks pregnant!

Mommy is 27 weeks already! Can't believe we will meet our newest little

guy in just a couple of months!



A visit with Little Nany

Today we got to visit with Little Nany. We were so happy to see her, it had been awhile!
Brady showed off his impressive running skills, keeping busy and entertaining Little Nany. 
Maddie told her all about the past few months- Halloween, Christmas, her birthday and the baby.
Then, they enjoyed a game of Sofia the First Magical Tea Party!
It was adorable to watch!!


Brady & Abby

Finally!!! 

These two love each other so much, with puppy kisses and Brady petting Abby whenever he can get a chance, but they never stay still enough for the camera.

Finally, here are some cute cuddles captured on camera. (Brady @ 7mos old, Abby 3 yrs old).

Just hanging out with my puppy :)

I pull your ear, you give me kisses, ok?

Right on the nose.

I love you too.

We have a crawler !!

Brady man is on the move! Today he crawled for the first time :)

First Apples!

First Foods: Apples!!!

Yummy! Definitely a favorite!

Sibling Love..

Having some fun together the night before our big trip!

So cute!

Madison's First Ballet Recital

Madison The Ballerina

Madison began ballet class this year and had a blast!

They had fairy costumes, which were right up our alley and performed

to the theme song from the Tinkerbell movie, "Secret of the Wings".

The recital is being held on the same day as Aunt Nikki's wedding, so

we had the class perform ahead of time, just for us!!



A trip to Santa Claus!

You both did great! 
Brady got to meet him for the first time and Madison even shared some top items from her wishlist.
Best of all... smiles all around! :)

Brady-9 weeks old

Brady's ninth week has brought lots of smiles and giggles, along with more cooing and talkative sounds! You are loving interacting with us, responding with coos and goos.

 I am so in love with that toothless smile!!! This is by far one of my favorite pictures yet-- love this baseball outfit!

We tried out the Bumbo seat this week, and you sit up in it so well! You definitely are proud of yourself, sitting like a big boy and scouting out the scene in style. We also discovered that your sister can still fit in it too! So funny!

You watch your big sister's every move, your eyes follow her all over the room. Madison is definitely your hero and you are amazed at all the fun things she can do.

This week, you met Santa for the first time and had a big smile on your face when you saw him! Pretty good for just waking up and time for a feeding :)
As always, you prove to be a quiet, mellow relaxed little fellow and such a great baby.
We've had some more reflux to deal with this week and not sleeping more than two hours at a stretch during the night, but you continue to be so content.
We attended a number of holiday parties this week, which you slept through.
Today, at one of the parties, you got your first Christmas present ever today: 
a little firetruck from Mommy and Daddy.
I think you already do like it, although your sister is loving it too!!

Madison had lots of fun this week with school, attending some holiday parties and a playgroup.
She can't wait for Santa to come and has added much more to her list!! 
When you saw Santa,  you told him you wanted an Ariel dress and a white stuffed kitty. Way to keep it short when you saw the Big Guy kiddo!
She loves finding Bella the Elf in the morning and typically spots her right away! (You definitely did not like finding her having a tea party with your Princesses one morning though, and having to clean up the mess she left on the floor!)

Madison's Pre-K School Photos

Madison has loved being in school! This year (2012-2013), you are in the Pre-K 3 classroom, which consists of children that are three and four years old.

I have been told many times that you are like the "mayor" of the school- needing to say hi and goodbye to everyone you come across and a little social butterfly.
You should consider running for office someday.
You enjoy playing with all the kids really, in all the classes but your favorite friends are: Rileigh (the pink Rileigh), Riley (the yellow Riley), Peyton, Anneliese, and McKenna.

Here are your Pre-K 3 Fall pictures, looking gorgeous as always.
