Jack Rolled OVER!

He only did it once, but still...YIPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!! He rolled from his back to his front and then quickly back as if thinking, "What the heck was that all about?!" It was really funny. I didn't get it on film but I got a couple of other shots.

And the verdict is in....

Siena had her 2 yr doctors app't at the same time Jack had his 4mt. Here are the stat's:


Siena was 34" tall (60th percentile) and weighed 28.8lbs (75th percentile). She can communicate very well using 3+ word sentences and knows certain grammar rules (like adding 's' to pleural words and possessive, 'ing' to verbs etc...). She jumps with both feet and loves to run around in the park. Slides have become a favorite ;-) Siena can count to ten and can recognize most letters of the alphabet. She LOVES to sing songs she knows and ones she made up! She can 'help' out with Jack by replacing his binky if he's upset and throwing away a dirty diaper...now if she could just start changing them... ;-) She is such a big girl. We are excited that she is two but can't believe she is growing so fast. I feel like she was JUST one!!


Here is a new video of her playing with Diesel.

Jack had his 4 mt app't and, besides getting 4 vaccinations, it was great! He was 14lbs on the nose (65th percentile) and 25"long (60th percentile). He is having so much fun. He has tried rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, pears, and butternut squash. He loves the squash but we're going to have to revisit it when he's a bit older. It gave him the worst gas EVER. He was miserable. He still stinks at sleeping thru the night but we'll get there. Otherwise Jack is super happy. He loves to kick and hold toys in his iron grip (and Mommy's hair). He smiles constantly and has recently started laughing more (see video below). He is close to rolling over and doesn't mind his 'tummy time'. He can lift his whole head and shoulders up when on his belly! He is such a sweet baby. The time is flying faster and faster!! Here is a video of Jack laughing - it's adorable!

Siena is TWO!

Siena had a wonderful birthday celebration on Tybee but we also wanted to celebrate on her actual day too. Dina and Dino (Jenn and Adam)decided to come down for the special day. We went to the Museum of Life and Science in the morning, bought some birthday presents there and picked up pizza for the little cheese freak (that would be Siena...oh, and me too ;-). Siena took a great nap, woke up and snuggled with Mommy on the couch for a Dora Show. I made pasta and meatballs for dinner- Siena's favorite and then she opened gifts. We finished the night off with a movie of Siena's choosing - 'Cars' (thanks Amy and Steve for the gift!!)- and vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. YUM!!

It was a great day. See the pictures from Siena's special day and from Dina and Dino's visit. (remember you can double click to see larger)

Tybee Island 2009

We had so much fun this year at Tybee Island. Thanks so much to Jan and Bill!!! And also thanks Mandie for setting it all up. The color-coded itinerary could not have been cuter ;-) We (the adults) had a blast and the kids had a ton of fun too. I am nervous to see who multiplies by next year!!

Here are *just a few* pics from the long wkd ;-)

Twinkle, Twinkle...

Here is a really cute video of Siena singing...
