First play date for the girls

Rory and Jinna's first meeting.  Jinna was born July 2nd (younger sister to Jayden).  They are 3.5 months apart and will be with each other starting in the middle of October with Tina.  Hopefully they like each other because they will sure be together a lot.  Rory looks huge next to Jinna, I guess she is almost twice her size already.  Jinna weighed 8lbs 6oz at birth.

4 months - Rory

A lot of the same!  Which means my two kiddos are doing the same things at the same age.  Rory went to her 4 month appointment yesterday and was 25 and 3/4 inches tall (95%), 14 lbs 13oz (75%) and 16.5 head (75%).  Almost exactly the same measurements as Cason at this age.  Cason was a few oz. heavier, but went to his appointment 10 days later than she did.

She is starting to do all the fun stuff now. She plays with toys, reaches for toys in the mat, can get her feet to her mouth, rolls over from back to tummy, and watches Cason play around her.

She is still waking in the night, but we will be putting her in her own room soon which may help.  Cason will be moving rooms very soon and we will have our room back to ourselves with Rory moving into his room.

She is a big kiddo and looks like a 6 month old.

Her are her pooh near pictures.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July, a nice lazy day for us, but lots of new pictures of kiddos.

Pretend City

One of our daytime activities in So Cal was Pretend City.  It was a big indoor building with more than a dozen small rooms representing a city.  Cason enjoyed the gas station, fire station, grocery store, plumber construction, garden, library, dentist, and water area to name a few.  Rory was perfect and slept the whole time letting her big brother run around and play.

3 months old - Rory

Wow how time flies when you have two!  My kiddos are now almost tracking identically to each other on size.  Rory is well into her 3-6 month clothes and 6 month sleepers.  She is smiling up a storm at everyone and sleeping great.  Last night she woke I only once at 3:00 and then up at 6:00.  Both kiddos have only slept around 10 hours at night and she is now matching Cason's schedule which is great.

She's become a very happy easygoing baby who just likes to watch all the action which is usually Cason.  With a few days left of maternity leave, I am going to miss my little sidekick who I have not left for much more than an hour since she was born.  Here are a few pictures of our three month old since we are in So Cal and don't have our pooh bear with us.

Disneyland!

Well it was our first successful trip to Disneyland with the kiddos.  Cason, Rory, Daddy, Mommy, Gigi and Papa piled in the car early this morning and arrived at 8:10.  Cason was very excited and had a great time, the park for him started with the tram ride.  We went on the big train, Smallworld, Toontown area houses, merry-go-round, Pirates! (scary said Cason) and Pooh bear.   The first two hours it was quiet and then it started to get hot and busy.  Cason made it until 2:00 and his head was on our shoulders on the way out.  Here are the pictures from the day.

Lots of park play in So cal

We have been out hitting up all the parks around Gigi and Papa's house which Cason has enjoyed.  Mommy has gotten her workouts in chasing and keeping up with Cason.  Rory has endured the new schedule and had been a good baby.  Here are the pics.
