No more bottle!!!






















We have been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to update. This past weekend was very eventful-Saturday I went to a baby shower while Kevin stayed home with the kiddos-the hygienist I work with, LeighAnn, is due any day now. Saturday night my good friend Lundy got married-Pam and Dickey were kind enough to come to the house and watch the kids. They must have really tired them out because they sure slept great that night. Sunday we headed over to Pam and Dickey's to have fried dove (Jana and I had chicken tenders). We had a good time and got to visit with Keith, Jana, and Kaitlyn-she is growing so fast! Then Sunday night we headed over to my Dad and Kim's house where we had Vernon's takeout, the usual for their house, it was very yummy. We had a good time visiting w/ Dad and Kim-they usually come to the house on Thursday afternoon because that is my Dad's half-day off, but they were unable to make it last week-so we thought it would be nice to stop by their house for a change. I'm not sure what would happen if Dad didn't get his Hannah and Hunter "fix" for the week. I just realized that I use dashes a lot when typing---it's a bad habit. Needless to say we had a busy weekend.

Monday Kim and I took the kids to "Snippets" at the mall so Hunter could get his much overdue haircut. He was getting very shaggy, and I had a lot of people asking if he was a little girl--so I thought it was time. I was worried he wouldn't sit still, but he did great! They have a lot to entertain the kids with there and did a great job! He looked much better afterward, but I secretly was sad to see the shaggy hair go-he looks like a little man now, not so much like a baby.

Today, Thursday, I went to see my dad at his office. I have an inner and outer ear infection-doesn't feel to great. But-I would rather it be me than the kids-much easier to handle that way!

Also today was the first day that Hannah and Hunter did not have a bottle!! Yeahhhh!!! I have been trying to introduce a sippy cup for a while now and they haven't been very receptive. I kept procrastinating and putting it off, but I decided today would be the day!! My goal is by Monday to box up the bottles and move on! They did really well today, and it sure was nice to not have to worry about them holding their bottles upside down and spilling all their milk on themselves (they liked to do that and thought it was very funny that it upset me)!

I am going to a continuing education by myself in College Station tomorrow. Kevin has taken the day off to stay home with Hunter and Hannah, I'm sure they will have a blast! Above are some random photos of the last few weeks-I incluede a before and after shot of Hunter's hair. Sorry I didn't have a lot of pics of Hannah this time-will put more up later. Hope everyone is doing well-Love, Mandy
