Comparing the two

I hate that we are constantly comparing them, but here are pictures of both X and T at 12 weeks. Love them!

Catching up in pictures

I promise to write again one day. Here are some recent pics of the duo!

She refused to sit on Santa's lap, but she did wave and dance for him.

What a good looking boy!

Pictures of our Life these days

Things are hectic around our house these days. One day I will get back to writing!

The first official together picture. I can't believe how big T is!

Sister and Brother

Some of you may know that in the last two weeks, we have grown by one, welcoming baby brother into the family. We are so blessed to be able to parent these beautiful souls.

Here are some pictures of the newest family member. I also included some comparison pictures of T. I am trying to determine if they look alike at all.

Seriously...what am I getting into?

I am strongly considering completely switching to a private blog. Please let me know if you would be interested in the password.

Teegen's newest role

Today, Teegen earned a pretty special new title...I will let her shirt explain it all!

Welcome to the world, beautiful boy!

Waking up in Vegas

We've been in Vegas going on three days now and just wanted everyone to know we made it here safely. For those of you that don't know, we are in Vegas to welcome the newest member of our family. Right now we are playing the waiting game and enjoying the time together.

Our trip out was uneventful, with only a little bit of screaming from Teegen on the plane. We lucked out at the rental car counter and we were upgraded from a sedan to a mini van, which looks pretty classy when you are driving down the strip! So far, we've only driven through the bright lights once. Teegen was less than impressed and far preferred the french fries I was feeding her.

Yesterday, we got incredibly lost while trying to get to a meeting with our birthmother. Lucky for me, Larry has patience of steel. Me, on the other hand, I was cursing within 15 minutes. We did however, successfully navigate to my favorite store ( the one with the big red bullseye) without a problem. I contribute that to my keen shopping senses. And just my luck, there is a giant outlet mall right across from the hotel.

Right now, we are waiting, waiting, and waiting some more. Hopefully the new baby will arrive sooner, rather than later. For now, we are trying to find ways to pass the time. We might journey to the strip today and take advantage of the sights. Or we might just hang out in our room. Or maybe, just maybe, we will get a call to go to the hospital. I will keep you posted.

Good Morning Ya'll! Where is the nearest slot machine?

Someone's got a new room!

One of the reasons I have not been able to blog much lately is that I have been working very hard on Teegen's new room. I wanted to make sure that it was complete before we made our transition from three to four, which is set to take place soon. Teegen seems to enjoy it and I had a great time creating it.

She is too cute for words and walking up a storm. There is a new post at our other blog, which can be found here. If you would like the password, drop me an email. I promise more posts here soon.

Where's Teegen?

Here she is! And yes, Life is Good!

When accidents happen...

Then the baby and the dog will work together to clean things up.

Hectic Life and Deja Vu?

I know that it has been ages since I posted anything here. Things have been crazy hectic here! Work has been out of control...Teegen has been sick for the entire month of July...and we are experiencing some deja vu in regards to Larry's fingerprints. Seriously...how many times does he need to be printed? So far, it is at least twice! Didn't we learn anything last time?

But a majority of our time has been occupied with our sick princess. First it was an ear infection (#7), then it was hand-foot-and mouth disease, which kept her out of child care for seven days. Just when I think we are over the hump...bam, day care calls and she has a fever of 100.3. I pick up here, take her to the doctor and anticipate an ear infection. Instead, as I am signing her into the doctor's, she started throwing up! That is something no one covers with you when you bring your new baby home! Poor thing. I ended up throwing her shirt away and she went home with only a diaper on. As she has gotten older, I've stopped carrying an extra outfit with me... guess I learned my lesson. T seems to be back to her old self. Keep us in your thoughts, as she has tubes put in her ears on Tuesday.

Here are some recent pics!

With her BFF Thorn. A few minutes later and they were kissing!

Hi Mommy!

Running on the sofa is so fun!

Apparently, we don't feed her enough!

I can't believe a year's gone by so fast!

Somehow, I've forgotten a 12 month update, which I realized when I looked at my calendar today at work and noticed that this week she will be 13 months old!

Here's what she is up do!

• She is funny! She loves to laugh and do funny things that she knows will make us laugh. She loves to laugh at the cats and poor Tobie!
• Very independent. When she is playing, she wants to do things her way and there is no other way.
• Still not comfortable not holding on to anything when she walks. But cruises around beautifully if there is something to hold onto.
  
• Weighs in at 23 pounds and 29 inches
• Had her 7th ear infection this month.
• Is a picky eater, which I am working on...
• ...but she will eat Cheerios, yogurt and fruit.
• Her hair has gone a little wild
• Says "Daddy, Hi, Bye Bye, Dog, MaMa and Uh-Oh." I think she said Zelda a few days ago, as I was fussing at an unruly dog

Here are some recent pictures of our diva!

Belated Birthday Bash Pics

I'm an awful blogger... I know this. Things have been incredibly hectic and stressful around our house these days, in preparation for the fall. And somehow, I missed posting Teegen's birthday pictures and a 12 month update! So, here are some party pics.
