It has begun...

Notice the "birthday girl" crown?

We wondered how long it would be before the girls were playing "dress up" with R. It seems it took almost exactly 15 weeks. R just kept smiling at them because they were laughing...poor thing doesn't realize they are laughing at him!!!

The picture...


I guess it helps to see how cute it is if I actually put the picture in????

R's Mickey Mouse outfit

While we were in Florida, Aunt Becky gave R this cute little Mickey Mouse outfit. It was so warm while we were there that he never got a chance to wear it. He finally wore it the other day, and it looked so cute that I had to show Aunt Becky! Thanks Aunt Becky!!!!!

Believe it or not...little R is 3 months old!!!!


Even though it seems like yesterday that R and I were meeting this tiny little guy in the NICU, our little R is 3 months old today!!! He is growing each day, and we are thoroughly enjoying the little man that he is becoming. He is still a pretty mellow baby, although he has finally found his voice and has learned how to use it when he is really upset! He still has plenty of smiles to go around, especially when his sisters are involved. His face lights up when he sees either of them! I am still the only one that has made him laugh though, and I hold that title close to my heart! : ) He weighs a little over 12 1/2 pounds now...as you can see from the pictures, he eats well!

R's First Haircut!!!!

AFTER
(Doesn't he look oh so handsome?)

BEFORE

(He looks a little depressed because he is having a bad hair day!)


We have been discussing it for a while now, and today we finally decided to do it...we took R in for his very first haircut!!! We took him to a special place that only does childrens' hair, and the lady was great with him. He was great through the whole thing...he sat on Daddy's lap and let the lady work her magic. He came away with a very handsome haircut. We think it is a big improvement...let us know what you think!!

Arabian Nights

T riding one of the horses at Arabian Nights...do you think she's happy or what?
T got to meet several of the horses
The show was really amazing...the horses were beautiful...
More of the show...it really was a great time!
For T's special activity on the Disney trip, we went to the Arabian Nights dinner show. T and PaPa had VIP passes, so they got to go early and see the horses, and T even got to ride one! PaPa somehow managed to get us seated on the front row...so T got to see the show up very close. It was a great show, and T thoroughly enjoyed herself!

Our little princess with the castle in the background

We planned a special activity for each of the girls during our Disney trip. A's special day was a makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Cinderella's Castle. She got to pick out a princess dress, complete with crown, wand and shoes. Then she went in for a princess hairstyle, and got her makeup and nails done. She looked absolutely beautiful, and she felt like she truly was a princess!!!! Her makeover ended with a photo shoot...what a morning!!! I think it will be something she will remember for a lifetime!!
