6 Months...only a month overdue














These pictures are completely deceiving. From looking at the photos you would think my kids were happy and well behaved during this photo shoot, but I think my friend who took these is a magician or something because I swear we could not get either child to smile or hold still for a split second...and yet she still managed to get some amazing photos. My wonderful and incredibly talented neighbor, Kathryn Turley, took these photos a little over a month ago and I wish I had a video of the two of us trying to keep the kids happy so we could get a decent shot or two (though I wouldn't actually show it to you because I looked so ridiculous).


I can't believe how fast Hannah is growing up. She is steam rolling around the room, has 5 teeth (including 2 random K9s), loves playing with her older brother, has a giggle that melts your heart, and is a really good baby 90% of the time (and don't ask about the other 10% of the time...let's just say she is a typical girl and has some pretty extreme mood swings!). I wish I could say she was sleeping through the night but unfortunately we've done a little back tracking on that front. I can't even tell you how much I am looking forward to getting consistent sleep at night again someday. I think that will make a big difference in my sanity levels.


Some days motherhood pushes me to the max. But these little people are oh so worth it!

SO cute! I can't believe how big they are getting. Those blue eyes are to die for.

And 5 teeth!?! That is awesome. Tanner just has 2 right now, but I think he's teething again, so may pop another couple through soon... hehehe

Beautiful pictures!! You look gorgeous in them, Court! Wow!!!

Don't worry about the sleeping through the night thing. In retrospect, 5 months seems really young to be accomplishing that. My kids are always hitting that more like 9-12 months. Sad, but true.

Let's get together soon, huh???

Hope to see you and your adorable kids soon. I can't believe how big Hannah is now!! It's amazing how fast they grow up.
