The Hanchett Family: October 2013

The past couple of weeks seem to have flown bye.

Time to rewind a little bit.

Collin had his 2nd birthday. He had a fun and exciting Mickey Mouse party. Mickey Mouse must be pretty popular because in the past couple of months we have gone to 3 other Mickey Mouse birthday parties, but I knew Collin loved Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so he would love it.

The night before his party we stayed up and decorated the whole house with Mickey stuff. tons of streamers, balloons and Mickey Mouse pictures every where. When Collin woke up he was so excited. He kept saying "wow" over and over again. Then he made this mommy cry. He came over to me and said Thank you Mommy, all on his own. It was so sweet, it melted my heart. All of the family and friends showed up around noon and we had a wonderful time.

Collin has really grown over the past couple of weeks too. His foot is now a size 8. HE HAS HUGE FEET! We bought a pair of tennis shoes in three sizes, because Collin really likes them, and they seemed to be very comfortable. He wore the size 6 out. Then he said "oww", and I knew his toe had reached the end of the shoe so we went to size 7. Only one week later, I felt his toe and he had already reached the end of the shoe and it was tight.. So now we are in size 8 shoes. This is just crazy to me.

Some other things about Mr. Collin.

He is putting 3 to 5 word sentences together.
It is still pretty hard to understand what he is saying but it is getting better.
He is in 24 month clothes.
He is in size 5 diapers. (he is just not interested in potty training)
He loves to dance when music is on.
He goes to sleep around 8:30 each night and most nights sleeps through the night.
Some nights he gets up in the middle of the night comes in our room and crawls in bed with us.
He can count to five, then the rest of the numbers get mixed up.

Miss Emily is 3 Months old!

She is such a joy to have around. She is a wonderful baby. My mom is still watching her at our house during the week while we are at work. She is getting such a personality now. Her little cries are so distinct. You know when she is hungry or sleepy, and boy does she let you know. She also giggles and coos all the time. Especially when Collin is getting in trouble. She thinks that is so funny. LOL

She is still sleeping really well, most nights only waking up once for a bottle and then back to sleep instantly. She is still wearing size 1 diapers and drinking 8, 4 oz bottles each day. When Collin was 3 months old we actually started letting him eat oatmeal. I am not sure if we will start that early with Emily. She is still doing so well on just a bottle.

The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy with each weekend full of activities. Here are some pictures of our little ones.
