A Future Bulldog, or Longhorn??

Bailynn is giving me hand signals already!! My child is either showing us her Texas Longhorn, or her La Tech Bulldog....who can guess? I guess we will have to wait until she is 18 to find out!
H is givng me the 'almost smiling' smile. Look at the drool...can you say TEETHING?
Here is that REAl smile, I love it!
Little B's smile! She is so precious, and just has a sweet way about her already.

Russ was taking care of Harrison the other day and I was taking care of B...this is how we do it most of the time, and then we switch. Russ said he was so thankful we had a girl because I might not survive having two Harrisons. He was right. H is in his DISCOVERY Phase right now...this is what I call it instead of "Attack of the wild and crazy man, make yo Momma scream and cry at once phase." God Bless his little heart, but sometimes he runs me down to nothing. He is just so interested in EVERYTHING, and he is now really figuring things out. It has really been a trying month for us, but we are making things work the best we know how. H is so adorable and I just see so much wonder in his blue eyes when he smiles back at me. I love him so much, but doesn't he ever want to just sit down, for a minute or two??

I Still Live With My Parents

Here we are with our new favorite shirt on...it gets a bit snug after two chicken nuggets and some cheese :)

A Much Needed Haircut

H's hair has grown so very fast (just look at my last few posts from this week), and the ladies at Snip-its told us it would after his first cut. So, this week, I braved the scissors near my child's face, and trimmed it up. For everyone freaking out right now: I have cut Russ' hair for years, so it was not my first time.

Here are the post-cut shots I took yesterday and this morning. I think he looks so adorable, and his young age again.

B is also hanging out (I call this "tubin") in her Valentine attire from the grandparents. She looked so pretty in this. I'm afraid the picture does not do her justice, besides the almost completely orange looking hair, which, by the way, does not look like her hair right now. I guess it was the dim lighting in the room that time of day??

Cute as Pie!

pretty little B...I just love her little rolls!
My new 'Not showing teeth' smile
And, with a mouthful of goldfish crackers

He looks much cuter now...when I can no longer brush the banges to the side, it is time! He was quite curious about what I was doing!

Twins???

Who is Who??

Alyssa and I were talking about how much they look alike and I started going through old pics. Here is just one of the ones I found so similar.

Finally, we LOVE our Pediatrician's Office!!

If you are a follower of the blog, then you might remember my past rants about bad experiences with the Pediatrician we had here so far. But, when we were in the hospital this time, I got the nurses opinions on a good doctor. I told them I wanted someone younger (than almost dead) and up to speed on the latest mommy trends (swaddling, breastfeeding, babylegs..i'm kidding) and they gave me the name of our physician. We met her the day after we got home with B. She was great, but the next apppointment we accidentally scheduled it with another doctor (the owner of the clinic) and he was great, even greater than she seemed to be! But then today we saw another doctor that was great, too...I think we have now dealt with all of them now, because we spoke with the other female doc over the phone a few weeks back. I really like them and agree with what advice they have given. It just makes sense to have a good doctor, and I told Russ today, there is just no reason we should settle for a Not-so-great person to check out our kids...keep looking! I am very very pleased with the group we ended up with here is Quincy, FINALLY! The nurse even came out intothe waiting room and picked up some of what I call baby luggage and helped us tote it all back to our favorite animal room. How nice!

So here are the measurements for our gigantic, but beautiful little love bugs.

Harrison Cayde "Brother" :
Weight: 24 pounds, 7 ozs
Height: 33 1/2 inches (H is now taller than half of Mommy!)
Head: 18 5/8 inches

H was 60 % for his weight and again off the chart for height, like 120%. He had to get a bunch of shots today, poor guy. I had to exit quickly before the tears came. He did so well, and he even had his lead and iron level checked from a finger stick. In many states they do this test by drawing the baby's blood and we were NOT doing that, but the finger stick was so not a big deal to him (thank goodness!). He thought that was actually pretty cool, and loved the cool bandaid. By the time he got all of his shots he looked like a representative for Spiderman Bandaids. And the little boy in the next room over saw them all and asked for himself one. Ha! Kids are too funny! Doctor gave him a tongue depressor and that was awesome, of course. He told him that you can only get those the doctor's office. Anyway, he is not anemic or full of lead, so we are happy campers! Sweet baby boy is already so big!

Bailynn Kennedy "Sissy" :
Weight: 10 pounds, 15 ozs (Whoa! Little B)
Height: 23 1/4 inches
Head: 15 1/4 inches

B was 90% for weight and off the chart for height--basically she looks like a three months old. They said we have some big and strong babies! She got her first shot today...boo! And she did so well, I was so suprised. She just muttered a bit and then feel asleep as soon as her leg was covered up. She is still nursing well, obviously but we are trying to get her to sleep more at night, and he recommended some things to try. She lay on the table and just smiled and played while she was being examined. She really is so adorable, her fuzzy little hair and all! He teased her about the tint of red in it and said she would be wild. He called her the con artist because she is using me for her food...her being ten pounds breastfed and all (which is apparently not really necessary!) He said she had me on a schedule and not the other way around....and that it was the redhead in her doing that! Too funny!

We had a good appointment. Not sure why, but everywhere we go our children steal all of the attention. The doctors and nurses kept coming back to talk or add one more piece of advice while we were loading the clan back up to go.

Valentines Day: Part One

We are still getting Valentine gifts in the mail from you all, so I will post "Part Two" once they all arrive and I get some pictures of them in the presents! Here is what we have so far (what I could get uploaded this morning between two screaming little ones!).

We hope everyone had a special day feeling loved!!

My lil' Monkeys

H in his new Harrison Hinny long johns. These remind me of my Dad on Sunday morning getting ready or better yet, coming home from hunting early in the morning...before church. Jess brought him these, and the monkey suit below.Cutie Tootie Bootie
