3 Months (a quarter of a year!), 500 diapers, 900 wipes, and that's just Hazel!

This is my third try to do this blog post. The first time Dillan turned off the computer. The second the computer froze. So if it isn't peppy it's because I'm ticked.

Dillan's first night in his new bed. He was too excited to wait a day for new sheets, so one of our queen sheets was used.

My map, which I love! It has taken me 8 months to figure out what would best fill that huge blank space on the wall. It feels like home because my parents have a similar map in their house.

So smiley! This is actually kind of rare. She's a crier.

I thought I was being such a great mom when I took Dillan to pick out his sheets. It turns out he isn't at the right age to care or understand that these will be on his bed for years. It's Lighting McQueen. I think it's cool.

We call this the Albanian Dance. Men in Albania walk with their hands clasped behind their back. Dillan has started exploring the world of dance as presented to him by Kyle. He can do some fun stuff when he's in the mood!

This is on her 3 month birthday. She loves to talk!
This is her new past time. Usually she chokes after 2 minutes and then goes right back at it.He loves his "puter." And he knows how to get the power cord plugged in and almost all the buttons.

Spring Break 2011

Cookie Time with the cousins Happy Hazel! Grandpa's got the magic touch!

Another one of Dillan's photo's, what a photographer.

Hazel in the bottom of her port-a-crib for the first time.

Dillan is sick, what a nose! This is first thing in the morning.

Hazel was relocated while I switched out her bassinet. She upgraded to a Queen, lucky girl!

I call this: Hobo Hazel. Cutest Hobo I ever saw.

Super Daddy, holding both kids at once!

Hiking in Silver Falls Park.

This view is from behind North Falls waterfall, looking out.

The front of the same waterfall, you can see the overhang we were standing under.

Winter Falls, and Dillan's first hike! Well, first hike he did on his own feet.
We should get paid for this kind of publicity!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Dillan has finally sung a whole song by himself! Usually he picks one line and sings that repeatedly (Jingle Bells, They all...fall...down!, You got a friend in me). Yesterday he sang all of The Itsy Bitsy Spider, by himself, with some of the hand motions! Priceless. Other funnys this week. Kyle has been teaching Dillan "Sham" "Wow." Kyle will say the first word and Dillan will say the second. Yesterday it went like this instead: "Sham" "Poo!" This morning the first thing Dillan talked about was going potty. The second thing he said was something like "Where's Mommy? (I was in bed, eavesdropping) Mommy at Bookclub. I wanna go to Bookclub." I am hosting bookclub this month, I guess I've been talking about it a lot!

Happy 2 Months Hazel

Dillan is learning to play by himself. What a great change! It's a little sad too, like he doesn't need me anymore. Hazel is learning to make sounds, hold her head up, and deal with having a big brother!

Off to church!

She finally noticed the mobile that's been dangling above her head for 2 months!

He looks so lonely, playing all by himself! But he's so satisfied with his project!

What a good big brother!

At first Dillan was telling her about Dragons and showing her the DVD case of "How to Train Your Dragon." She pays very close attention to Dillan.
