Little Ilana is Eight Months Old

Well, well, well. Look who's eight months old? 

Ilana's got her two bottom teeth now, 

loves bacon and graham crackers, 

bouncing and being thrown up in the air, 

and watching everything her big brother does. 

It's a good life!

Goodbye Tonsils

Henry got his tonsils and adenoids removed today. He was very brave.

He followed all the nurses' directions.

 He even got to watch TV in the recovery room. Watching TV in bed rocked!

 After a few days, our sweet Henry was starting to feel like himself again.

 Goodbye tonsils, hello happy Henry!

Our Favorite Five Year Old Boy

Henry had his five year old checkup today. He weighs 34 pounds (10th percentile) and is 40.5" tall (10th percentile). Small, but mighty . . . just like his Star Wars hero, Yoda!

Henry's 5th Birthday Party - Hot Wheels Style!

Henry asked for a Hot Wheels birthday party, so we revved up our engines!

We had face painting, 

hot wheels car races and even

tons of fun outside (we had incredible weather)!

Ilana had a blast, too!

 Henry blew out his candles,

got hugs from his cousins,

 and even had Grandma there for the festivities.

What a great way to celebrate turning five! 

Ilana's First Tooth

We're not exactly sure when it happened, but this morning, Mommy noticed one little chomper sticking up from Ilana's bottom gum.

 We immediately celebrated with frozen yogurt - another "first" for Ilana!
