Dr visit anyone??

Both girls had a Dr appt today. Luckily Jeremy came with to entertain Tessa. Both are healthy and growing fast. Tessa weighed 31.6lbs (90th percentile) and was 3ft tall (93rd percentile) and Alanna was 11.10lbs (36th percentile) and was 22.75 inches long (44th percentile). No shots for Tessa, but poor Alanna got 2. She doesn't handle shots as well as Tessa did. She cried the whole way home :-( Both girls must be worn out from their Dr appt because they fell asleep at 2:30 and are still asleep now at 5:45. Hope they both sleep tonight. Speaking of sleeping, Alanna has slept through the night for 2 weeks now!!! And been in her crib for 5 days now! It's been nice catching up on some much needed sleep.

Been awhile!

Wow, sorry for not posting for almost a whole year! We had our beautiful baby GIRL, Alanna Dawn on Sept 4th, 2012. She weighed 8lbs 1oz and 18 1/2 inches long. She was and still is pure perfection! Tessa absolutely loves her and wants to hug (or smother) her every chance she gets. Alanna has just fallen right into our routine, and just goes with the flow. She is 2 months old as of yesterday, and for a week has been sleeping through the night (12 hours). She has been a wonderful addition to our family.
Tessa had her 2nd birthday on Saturday. We had a Halloween theme and it was great. She had so much fun. I just can't believe my baby girl is 2 already. Where has time gone?!? Looking back at her newborn pictures I just want to cry,she is growing up so fast. She learns something new every day. And her vocabulary is amazing!!! She has her own opinions on things, and wants to do things on her own. 
Kids are such a blessing. I love being a mom and enjoy taking care of my two princesses!!
