So I already am aware that I'm a horrible person for NEVER BLOGGING. Now that's out in the open, I'll go ahead and give a very brief update. Jasper is 7 1/2 months old now, and Sydney is 2+ a few months. They are my greatest joy and my greatest stress. Sydney is SO ACTIVE. We like to call it "spirited". Some of her favorite activities include breaking things, pulling things out of cupboards/ off shelves, terrorizing Jasper, stealing toys/books from anyone and everyone, and insisting that anything within a 20 foot perimeter of her is hers, or as she likes to say, "miiiiiine". Although Syd is only 23 lbs, she can tackle kids that are roughly double her size (just ask her church nursery leaders). Jasper is my angel child. He is always SO HAPPY. His current favorite activities are smiling, laughing, saying da da da da, and watching Sydney do crazy things. Although I rag on Sydney, she has actually become quite affectionate. She gives me lots of hugs and kisses, and constantly tells me, "Mommy, I love you". And I love her too. Here are a few recent pictures: Sydney loves to read in her free time: Jasper's cousin, Kennedy, put this on him:
Jasper especially loves his baths:

Our sweet little Jasper Charles Hancock was blessed today by his proud papa. This is his little suit that he wore. The last picture is Jasper and my neighbor Shannon Singleton. Shannon is the one that lent me this cute suit. Her son, Landen, wore it when he was blessed. Thanks Shannon!
I know my family thinks I'm a bum for not posting enough. I'm also a bum because they had to wait 3 weeks to see more pictures of Jasper. Here they are:
These ones are all a day before his 3 week birthday. The ones before were a few days after he was born.
All 8 lbs 1 oz, 20.5 inches of Jasper Charles Hancock was born today at 9:18 a.m. The c-section was very successful. Much much better than my last experience. Our hospital number is (480) 728-7430 and anyone is welcome to call if you want more details. Here is a video and some pics of our newest addition to our Hancock Haven.
