New Hair

This is for my mom. She has been wanting me to post pictures of my new haircut. I got it done about a week ago. I absolutely love it! It is so much easier and quicker to do. I think it looks pretty good too. We gave Rob a haircut too and spiked it with gel one day. The picture doesn't show it very well but it is really cute. Let me know what you think of our new dos.

I love this picture of us.

Fun in the tub!

I actually got both kids in the tub at the same time by myself. It was a miracle since Rob hates the tub. He would much rather get in the shower. I managed to get some cute pictures of them too. They had so much fun and played really well together. Enjoy!

They both looked at me and kind of smiled!

They loved playing with these cups.

She loved to splash.

Don't you just love her smile?

He's a cutie!

Bella is 8 months old!

Well our big girl is 8 months old now. It's hard to believe how big she continues to get. She and Rob are in the same size diaper. I bet she could wear some of his clothes too. As of a few weeks ago they weigh the same too according to our scale here at home (22 lbs although it could be more by now). She is such a great baby just like Rob was. She "sings" and babbles all the time. She likes to stick her tongue out and play with it in her mouth. She also loves to blow raspberries and does it all the time. She loves her food and her favorites are bananas, apple delight, and green beans. She does this thing where she rocks from side to side. It is soooo cute and funny. She does not like to snuggle. She has to play with her hands in order to fall asleep. It looks like she is praying. It's really cute. She still likes to be swaddled with her arms out. She loves her big brother and laughs when he plays with her or is even near her. She has the cutest little deep giggle. She thinks it's funny when you change her and discovered she has pooped. She just laughs and laughs. Her curl(s) on the top of the back of her head are getting long. I think they are about 4 inches or so. We just love her so much.

Her and her tongue.

So cute!

Hello!

I know I'm cute.

Sleeping on daddy.

"Praying" as she falls asleep.

It's so cute and funny.

She has to have them right in front of her face as she falls asleep too.

Rob's Surgery

Sorry it has taken me so long to update. Rob had his surgery on July 20th. He ended up having to stay the night because he wouldn't eat or drink anything. We figured that would happen knowing his history with hospitals and not eating or drinking being the reason he stays longer. The surgery itself went great. They actually did it in 20 minutes instead of 30. He didn't really have any bleeding. He was pretty upset and in a lot of pain that first day. He wouldn't let me put him down or anything. I had to hold him while in the bed with him. He did finally get to go home the next day. It took him quite a while (1 1/2 weeks) before he was back to himself. He only wanted his mommy so I didn't get ANYTHING done for at least a week. Finally he started eating better and would go to other people. At his post-op check-up the doctor said he was healing well. He still is not sleeping through the night, but we are going to work on that next week while Nate is off work. Bella is going to move into our room until that problem is fixed. His breathing is a lot better though and he no longer snores. So that is how everything went. We are thankful for the doctor that discovered the problem and performed the surgery.

His IV was in his foot and he hated it. He hated any tubes hooked to him.

Playing with his cars. They brought the toy in for him to play with.
