I realize it’s August 13th and Hannah’s birthday was July 1st. I am really behind on posts I know! Better late than never??
Hannah is ready for her friends to arrive so she can BOWL!

It’s confirmed! Hannah is a healthy little 6 year old girl! She’s weighs about 1 pound per inch!!
A new way to post. I was starting to really hate the blogger interface! Let’s try another way!
2 days after Sullivan's baptism, Reilly saw a picture of when he was baptized. He said, "Sissy, is that a picture from when Sullivan was 'appetized'?!!
Last week we were getting ready for our trip to the beach and I told Hannah that I needed her to be a really good girl and a good helper in the car with the boys. She had been wanting a fish for quite some time and so I broke down and promised that she'd get a fish if she was really good. [subplot - Hannah's idol, Candice, had just asked me what she could get her for her birthday and I told her the only thing she hadn't gotten and really wanted was a fish. Not really thinking through the logistics of getting a fish home from Mobile. ]
We were leaving a restaurant a couple weeks ago and Reilly asked for a cup of water. I told him that we really didn't need any more water before we got home. Without hesitation he says, "well, den I'wwa just take a milkshake."
This past weekend we baptized Sullivan. (pictures to follow). During the Mass, the priest was speaking symbolically when he said "I am God and I am Here" in these troubled times when people are asking where God is. Ok... so most of the audience picked up on this symbolism. Not Reilly. While the priest was giving out the chalices to the Eucharistic Ministers Reilly said "Hmmm. What's God doing?" I started laughing hysterically. I knew exactly what he meant... I mean the priest DID just say HE was God!
I know I'm posting this late, but at least I'm posting it :) His 2 month doctor visit was June 27, 2011 and here are his stats:
I just found this picture of Hannah and Reilly during Reilly's first bike ride. It struck me how much they look like each other when they are wearing their helmets.
Reilly got a new bike from a friend (read- hand-me-down)... He was very excited as you can see. You can also see he is becoming a big boy. Hannah was mothering him as he was riding for the first time. She was helping him turn around and honking his horn every chance she could get.
When Hannah was 3, Pop and Daddy took her to the Orange Beach Marina to have some ice cream. The result was a great picture and a tremendous mess... So Pop and Daddy decided to recreate the moment with Reilly this year, since he is almost exactly the same age as Hannah was that day. Here are the results...
Here is Hannah's team picture from soccer this year. The date was 01-23-2011, so yea, I am behind on getting things posted to the website. -Daddy
It's father day and Daddy is trying to catch up with all the stuff on my desk, pictures from vacation, etc. I will try to post some pictures this week.

Hannah and Reilly got in front of the camera too. Stephanie suggested they rub noses and it turned out to be a great picture of them.
Sullivan got the studio photography treatment yesterday, and it was his favorite thing ever. This is the only picture where he was crying, no really, he was an angel. OK, not really, but I think the crying pictures are the best ones anyway. This is not the best picture from his sitting, but I do think it is a cute one. -Daddy
Weight - 10 lbs 8 oz (64 percentile)
Height - 21.5" (42 percentile)
Head - 39.3cm (67 percentile)
Sullivan is blending right into our new family of 5. He is a pretty laid back little guy. He cries when he's hungry, has a dirty diaper, or is tired. He is waking once at night and eating like a champ during the day.
35 Lbs (80th percentile)
37" (30th percentile)
Reilly is a happy, healthy little boy. He makes us laugh every single day. He loves playing with trains, trucks, and balls. He is ALL boy. He is a sweet little thing with a wild streak at times. He keeps us on our toes.
Lately, he has been speaking VERY loud. At first, I thought he was just trying to be heard over his sister and baby brother. Lately, he seemed to be getting louder and louder. Yesterday I asked the doctor to check his hearing. After the hearing test, they said he has poor hearing in his left ear and referred us to an ENT/Audiologist. Our appointment is next week, so hopefully we can get to the bottom of what's going on with our little guy.
... and loves to hold him too. Hannah and Reilly helped put him to sleep today when Mom was busy. They are big helpers for us... at times.
Great pictures Mom!
Here are more of his gifts... Notice how Hannah is hovering over him waiting for a chance to steal the new toy out from under him, like a dog under the dinner table? It might not bother Reilly all that much, but it drives Daddy crazy.
