Jackson Michael

I haven't updated this in a while so we have some big news to share.  We now have 2 kids.  Jackson Michael was born on 22 November.  Tracy was induced and we went in the night before and we spent the night in the hospital.  He was was 7 lbs, 1 oz and 21" long.

Jackson is growing quickly.  He eats all the time and is quickly gaining on his sister.  He'll be bigger than her in no time.  Bella is really good with him.  She loves her little brother and calls him her "best buddy'.  She'll even help give baths.

Bella's First Day of Preschool

Here are some pictures of Bella before her first day of preschool. Normally she wouldn't start until June when she turns 3, but her teachers told us that she was ready. She'll start part time in the mornings and they'll let her go back to the toddler room in the afternoons, if she wants. But we really think she'll like itand that she'll want to stay in preschool. The kids that she talks about have all recently moved on the preschool and she'll want to spend the day with them.

Potty Training Update

Good news: Lamby is potty trained.  Bad news: Bella still isn't ready to start learning.

Bella goes to Young's Dairy

We went to Young's Dairy yesterday to visit some of the farm animals. They scared Bella last year so we were hoping that she wouldn't be as scared this year. She enjoyed watching and yelling at them but was still a little scared of touching them.

Bella got in the laundry and insisted on wearing Daddy's Packers hat.  He's so proud of his little football fan.
