New Adventures

Cousin Braxton posing for the camera. He's getting to be such a big boy!!
The girls in their "Daddy Rocks" and "Mommy Rocks" bibs. We're big fans of these particular bibs.
It's so tiring playing and being cute all day. They fell asleep in Gigi's big chair.

Momma feeding Aurora cereal. She's not really sure how she feels about it.
Aurora in her exersaucer that Grandad and Mimi Sue gave to the girls. She loves to make the animals make noises and push all of the bright buttons!!
Abigail loves to play with her little gym. Kicking the ball is her favorite game. She's going to be our little soccer player!!

Abigail enjoys her cereal A LOT!!
When it's food time at the Hanna house, we don't mess around!! Momma feeds both the girls their cereal at the same time!!

Aurora ready for swimming lessons!! She'll have to wait until next summer, though.
The high chair trays are still a little tall for us, so we have to eat without them. Abigail is ready for her cereal, though!!

This is a very exciting time in the life of the Hanna family. Aurora and Abigail are beginning to do so many new things and enjoy so many new experiences that every day is an adventure for us. Luckily, Michael is off for the summer (since he's a teacher) and he is at home to see all of their new adventures!! He's enjoyed being home and the girls love having their Daddy here all day every day. It's going to be tough when he has to go back to school. Their doctor told us at their four month check-up to begin introducing cereal to them three times a day. Both have taken very well to it... especially little Abby. Both girls will eat the cereal just fine, but Abby can't get enough of it!! I think that she prefers the cereal to her bottle. She sits in her high-chair and kicks her feet in excitement when it is cereal time. She also licks the spoon clean when we are finished. It's too funny. Aurora is interested in the mushy stuff and likes to put her hands in her mouth to feel the cereal. It's always an adventure at feeding time. The girls got their first bathing suits a few days ago. Daddy didn't want them to have bikinis, but it was what we could find in their size (and mommy really wanted bikinis to show off their little bellies). Both look so adorable in their suits. Aurora loves to pose and smile in her's. Abigail is facinated with the blue floral pattern on her suit. She will bend over and pull it up to her face and love on it. They both love bathtime so much and we think they will love getting into the little baby pool that we bought for them. Another fun thing that the girls have been up to here lately is watching their new Baby Einstein DVDs that their Daddy bought for them. We have been looking for them for a while and Michael found all of them, so he bought them for the girls. They have the whole Baby Einstein collection and they love them!! We usually try to let them watch one 30 minute video before naptime or bedtime (just one a day). They will sit for the entire time and stare at the screen. They are both facinated by the songs and puppets. They will both jabber back at the TV. It's fun to watch and it gives Mommy and Daddy a little down-time as well. This last weekend, the girls went to my family reunion on my Dad's side of the family. They got a chance to meet a whole lot of new people, including Jared and Shelby, who are also a set of twins. The girls were the highlight of the day!! It was an exciting day for them. I wish that I could tell you everything that they are doing. Every single day is such a new adventure. Both girls are growing so fast. It's exciting and scary all at the same time!! They jabber and coo all the time. They are fascinated by every new thing that they see. Both love to try to taste every single thing that they can get their hands on. They are trying to sit up and they mimic everything that we do. We are having so much fun this summer with them!! I'm so glad that their Daddy is home to get to see and experience each new day!!
