The latest happenings...

Yes, it's true. I've been neglecting the blog. A lot has been happening since my last entry so let me try to update you using the short version with a promise to do better :)

Maddy:
- Successfully completed her spring semester of dance and music class at school. She is registered for a great summer camp at her school and his having a really tough time deciding on her summer activity...dance, music, soccer or tae kwon do. Decisions, Decisions. I tried to explain to her that we just can't spend the money to do all of them so we will let this be her first big lesson in making a tough decision :)
- Tomorrow morning bright and early Maddy is getting on the plane with Mommy and Hannah to head to Texas for her 2nd annual summer vacation! 3 weeks in the Texas sun. She will return to Charlotte the first weekend in July. Maddy's excited, Mommy's excited and Daddy is a mess!
- Maddy continues to be a bright and witty ray of sunshine in my life. Her personality is really starting to show itself with her singing, dancing and WILD imagination. And luckily, she continues to be an amazing big sister with nothing but love and sweetness for little Hannah.

Hannah:
- Beginning to turn a corner. We had 2 really good weeks toward the end of May. She began sleeping through the night and seemed to be easing up on the fussiness. She's definitely a different baby than she was a month ago. We are back to waking up once in the middle of the night but she literally eats and goes back to sleep so I'm not going to complain.
- Personality is starting to shine! She's happy in the morning, prefers little cat naps throughout the day and like most of the Hennig's/Woodson's/Hecht's I know....she gets rather cranky if a meal is late. :)
- Definitely a thumb sucker! It seems to comfort her through the majority of the day and it appears as though we may be starting the teething process because her whole hand is being used frequently as a chew toy.
- 2 prescriptions and a pediatrician visit later we may finally have an EXTREME diaper rash that is on the mend. Her special formula for her allergy causes some unfortunate tummy side affects so we have been dealing with that now for about 10 days. Looks to be on the mend so we are grateful. 13 lbs. 8 ounces was the weight at the dr visit on Monday.

Matt and Holly:
- Both busy with work (I went back on May 9th)
- Starting to get into the groove of our new "two kid" routine. It's taken us a couple of months but we seem to hitting our stride.
- We will miss Maddy over the next few weeks but looking forward to some of conveniences of only having to drag one child all over the place :) Matt doesn't know it yet but I have lots of projects in mind for the month of June!

All in all, everything is going really well. Busy, hectic, exhausting and wouldn't change it for the world!
