Fun around the house!

So, Evan was really quiet in the backseat. I was hoping it was because he had fallen asleep. Well, to my surprise, when I open the door, he is covered head to toe in chocolate.I have no idea where he found the chocolate or how he got it into the car. What a sneaky kid!

I feel like this looks like a school picture..

I told Evan to smile and this is what I get.

So happy

Loves to play with his trucks.

She looks so grown up. Sigh.

HUG!

Chubby cheeks!

What, mom??

Love those eyelashes!

Sunday night sword fight!

Passed out!

Looks like a mini-mark here!

Precious boy trying to stay out of trouble!

The boy who finds chocolate...

4 month fun!

Well, thing are going well at the Hopper house. Margaret started sleeping again. She sleeps in her crib from 6:30-1:00 and then in our room because I am to lazy to put her back! The kids nap schedules are completely off. One will nap and the other is awake. It is like having one kid again, but hard too, because I can't go anywhere. I'll take the sleeping though :)

The big news here is we are trying to cut out all processed foods. I have been trying to make my own fruit snacks and cheez-its for Evan but haven't tweak the recipes quite right yet.

Margaret also went to the doctor for her 4 month check up. All was well. She was 14lbs 1oz (48%), 24in long (27%), and 16in head (29%). We also started her on solids. She has them every few days when we think about it. She started with banana and has now tried pumpkin. I don't think she loved either, but she didn't hate it!

I told Evan we would leave as soon as I fed Margaret.
He was not thrilled!

Who me?

HUG

Feeding herself pumpkin!

A day at the park!

Well, today was an eventful day because Mark had his minor procedure done, so I tried to keep the kids out of the house as much as I could. We went to the store in the morning and thankfully both kids were great. They both went down for a nap and when they woke up when went to the park. Evan loved it. He wanted to go down all the slide by himself. His sweet face would look so scared as he was going down, but once he got the the bottom he would scream 'more' and race up the stairs again. It was priceless. While we were there Evan, of course, wanted to swing. He loves going really high! He even tried out the big boy swing, but he didn't like it. Margaret was a good sport through all of this. She just played in her carseat while Evan ran his off his energy. 

The big news of the house is Margaret rolled over. She rolled from back to belly first and once on her belly she rolled back on her back. She is a rolling machine. Margaret is also working on her upper body and gets into the crawling position a lot. She better not be thinking about crawling any time soon! 

Mom, look at me!

Eating...

Big boy climbing!

She keeps scratching her face! Poor thing!

2 year well visit

In the excitement of Evan's birthday, I forgot to mention his two year well visit. Evan is healthy! They did a height projection for us and he is projected to be about 5'6". I know you can't trust those things, but I am hoping he will be a little taller than that. Evan weighed 26 pounds. He had actually lost weight since his 18 month check, but nothing that made the doctor worry. I don't remember exactly but I believe Evan was in the 25% for height and the 50% for weight. Usually I get a hand out about it, but going to the doctor with two kids is not fun or easy! The other thing we talked about was Evan's cough that he has. It has been going on for close to two months and it's either allergies or asthma. We are going down the allergy road first and have him on claritin daily. We are hoping after two weeks it has cleared up. If not, we will probably do some allergy testing, but for now we just have to wait and see. 

Here a some picture from the party taken by Grammy and Nini!
