Surgery

Hannah Grace and Knox had tubes put in there ears 2 weeks ago. This is Hannah Grace's second set, since she continues to get infections. Poor Knox had 7 in a 3 month period, so he really needed them. He has already had an infection in both ears since the surgery, so this proves that he just has bad ears. I can tell his pain level was so much better and am so happy that he doesn't have to take oral antibiotics anymore with his infections. They both did wonderful and Hannah Grace really enjoyed herself. She is really into anything to do with doctors right now and loves to go! So, she just walked right back into surgery, like it was no big deal, with a big grin on her face. After surgery, Knox was pitiful and screamed for a while. He was much better after a good nap at home :)  Hannah Grace was so happy and continued loving all the attention from the doctors and nurses. Glad to have this behind us.

Sweet Little Knox :)

A little dancing early in the morning

Playing with Daddy

Loved the car

Great entertainment while waiting

Ready and excited for Surgery!

I thought the sibling alert sign was so funny! Double trouble!

9 Months

Month 9 was an eventful one for sweet little Knox. He had a rough time with ear infections, having a total of 4 in a month! We will get that fixed Friday, when he and his sister get tubes :) You wouldn't know that he was hurting, with that sweet smile that stays on his face all the time! Knox is still into everything and he exhausts me every day.  He prefers real food now and rarely will eat baby food. He loves avacodo, any veggie, macaroni and cheese, chicken, noodles, rice and pretty much anything that I will give him. He doesn't like fruit, which I find odd for a baby, but at least he likes veggies. He is cruising around the house pushing his toys and walking around the furniture very well, so I bet he is walking soon. He will wave bye-bye and will clap for himself when he is proud. He says Mama, Dada and Nana. Nana loves that he said her name so early, since it took Hannah Grace a while :) We went to his 9 month check up about 2 weeks ago and he weighed 25 lbs (90%) and was 31 inches (off charts). His weight has slowed down(my back thanks him), but he continues to be extremely tall. This boy loves his sister and wants to be doing everything she does. So sweet. I guess that is all for month 9. 

 Everything in the mouth

 One of his favorite spots is the pantry

 In Daddy's car :) This was a one time thing riding facing forward. He did love it!

Brother/Sister love watching praise baby. This lasted for about a minute!

Hollywood Studios

The last day we went to Hollywood Studios and this was our favorite day. They have so many age appropriate things for Hannah Grace's age. We went to the Disney Junior live show, Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid show and lunch with some of the Disney Junior characters. Our favorite event of the day was lunch at Hollywood and Vine with all the characters. We had the first lunch, so we pretty much had all of them to ourselves. Hannah Grace was in heaven!! She got to meet June (from Little Einsteins), Handy Manny, Jake(from Jake and the Neverland Pirates) and Oso(from Special Agent Oso). She is obsessed with the Little Einsteins, so June was definitely her favorite. They have music playing the entire time and let the kids dance with all the characters. Hannah Grace was so cute and loved all the attention! This was a great way to end a wonderful trip.

Love June :)

Knox loved them all!

And we ended our last day at a very fun restaurant. T-Rex is in Downtown Disney and such a fun place for kids and great food. Hannah Grace loves dinosaurs, so this was perfect for her :)

Animal Kingdom

The next day we ventured over to Animal Kingdom. Hannah Grace was super excited about this day, since she loves animals so much. Her favorite things were the Safari and the dinosaur ride. Her favorite animals were the hippos and rhinos and she loved riding in the jeep. Another great day!

Going to Africa

Nana does not like Alligators!

Magic Kingdom Day 2

We decided to take on the Magic Kingdom in 2 days, which ended up being a great decision. There was just so much to do and not enough time to do everything in a day. After our first day at the Magic Kingdom, Clint started feeling bad, and later got the stomach bug that all of us had a few days before we left for our trip :( Thankfully it was only a 12 hour bug, so by the next night, he was much better. My sweet Husband was such a trooper and still went to the Magic Kingdom the next day, so he could experience having lunch with all the princesses in Cinderella's Castle with Hannah Grace. He is the best Daddy and just couldn't bear the thought of missing this special experience. Hannah Grace loved seeing all the princesses and loved talking to all of them. Hannah Grace also had a wild night before our castle experience. We think she had an allergic reaction to crab. She swelled up really bad, but thankfully I had benadryl with me and that seemed to help. The next day she was really swollen and looked pretty rough. You could tell she didn't feel well, so that made the day a little hard. I just hate it was on the Princess lunch day that she felt bad, but what can you do! Despite all the sickness drama, we still had a great time :)

Talking to Cinderella :)

In awe of all the princesses :)

Loved seeing "Lumiere" from Beauty and the Beast

Loving all the parades. She literally would just stop and not move for the entire parade. Big deal for this active little girl!

Watching with Parade Nana

Later that night Clint and I had an event we attended with the Gas company. It was a lot of fun and they had a baby alligator you could hold. They feel so weird, and no, I did not hold it!
