Dear Nathan and Hannah,
We have been enjoying this amazing fall Austin weather. On Saturday, we had a MOPS brunch at church, so we went to the pumpkin patch beforehand. There were tractors available for kids to ride and you guys definitely spent your fair share of time riding them around.
Here is Nathan posing in front of who you have deemed to be the "Best Dancer in the World!" One day we were leaving school and you said in a very serious/admirable tone, "woah, that's the best dancer in the world." I look over to see what you are looking at, only to find this orange dancing man. I pretty much burst into laughter because you were totally serious when you said it because you pretty much dance like that man.
This may be our very first family picture as a family of 5!
The post is a day late because yesterday, I was too tired to stay up and write a post. Hailey has been going through a growth spurt. As of last night, she has officially gained a pound over her birth weight. This morning, she looked and felt bigger, so I weighed her: 8 pounds 11.5 oz.
Hailey has been causing nights to be quite rough. The longest stretch she will sleep is 2 hours, but she has been averaging 90 minutes before waking up for a feed. On top of that, she will take about 45 minutes to feed, but then stay awake for as long as 3 hours before falling asleep.
Last night, went well, we had a 3 hour stretch, followed by immediately falling asleep after feeds. Let's hope this behavior continues.
Hailey continues to enjoy baths. She no longer cries when I take her out (due to cold).
Nathan, you've been so helpful with the baby. You find it your mission to make sure I have enough water, so that I can make enough milk for Hailey. You try to find ways to make her stop crying and you discover and teach me how to use the new features on the baby swing.
The weather has been absolutely beautiful. We've been spending it outside on the driveway as much as possible.
At Gymnastics, you guys have been practicing on a ninja obstacle course. The teacher actually asked me to come in to watch Nathan one morning. They were very impressed with your speedy skills as you swung from one thing to another.
I can tell that Hannah is slowly developing the motor skills needed to keep up with the other older kids. It's really neat to see you do rolls and other gymnastic rolls so confidently.
Your teachers in the ducks class have told me that you are quite bossy, in a fair way. For example, when asked to put something away, you would walk up to the person who was playing with that particular toy and ask them to put it away because they were playing with it. I feel like you will be a lawyer someday. your sense of justice and negotiation skills are quite admirable for a 3 year old.
Well, that's it for now.
Love,
Mommy
