Troy boy buddy!

I thought it'd be appropriated to give a Troy update as well! Troy still loves his cars! He also love curious George which I find to be some what ironic because sometimes I feel like Troy is just like George! We have 2 buckets 1 filled with blocks and another with marbles/marble tracks and he loves to dump them both out whether or not he even plays with them but he often does. Troy is such a boy and sometimes he is a little too rough with Hailey but surprisingly always very soft with Alyssa! This day he was walking around with my shoes and I tried to get a picture of it but he was moving around too fast! Sometimes when we don't want him to do something we will shake our finger and say uh-uh and he has started doing it back to us when he doesn't want us to stop him doing what ever he is doing! It's pretty cute. Also when we talk to baby Alyssa and say Agoo he will come over and join in and say Achoo. Today he got ahold of Hailey's very cute lip gloss that looks like an ice cream sundae (which she loves!) and he scooped it all out with his finger and smeared it all over the sliding glass window. So sad. Then when I tried to at least clean off his greasy fingers he was running away from me. Not to add that I was nursing at the same time but I really didn't want him to get it all over the couches or what ever else! But at the end of the day I love the heck out of this boy!

2 months old

Alyssa turned 2 months old this last week! My how time flys! We sure love having her in our family! Don't tell my other kids but she is such a good/east baby! What a huge blessing! She sleeps well at night 6 to 8 hour stretches. She nurses well, and if you know he you know that is is such a big deal to me! And she is just over all happy and so easy going! She is cooing and smiling a lot now although when I've tried to catch it on camera she is like what the heck are you sticking in my face so that is why it's been tough to get a good picture. We went to the doctor and she got her 2 month shots. She also weighed in at a whopping 12 lbs 11 oz, 90 percentile. WOW! She was also 22 in which is the 50 percentile, and her head was in the 78 percentile. Such a big girl/chunker! I love it! What a sweet heart!! Love you Alyssa!

Enjoying sister

Troy and Hailey very much adore their little sister Alyssa! When she cries Troy will often put his hand to his ear and say uh-oh. They both love to hold her and like to run to go see her when she is crying or waking up! We just have to be careful not to get too excited!

Hailey starts UPK preschool

Hailey started preschool this year! She loves it so much! This is right up her ally. She is very confident and loves having this fun new thing to figure out. She has already come home with lots of cute songs and rhymes. I think this is going to be great for us!

So just a few days after she started school she told me she wanted to fix her own hair for church so I said okay. She went into the bathroom and had the water running and when she came out I could tell she had wet it but I couldn't figure out why else it looked a little different. She had cut her hair again. Right in the front this time so I decided that we needed to try to make all more even since now there were a few places where it was shorter. I must say that I love it and it so much easier to do and way less tangles and altogether a much better situation! Her excuse is that they are "safety scissors". I still don't think she gets it!
