6 lbs. 9 oz. of Perfection

Preslee Jean Hansen

January 11, 2011

6 lbs. 9 oz. 19"

Looking through the pictures taken this night, this was the only one taken right after Preslee was born. I think Dayne and I were in shock when she came out screaming. Let's just say it was awesome! She was perfect!

It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas!

This is one of my favorite times of year- Christmas!



Our first snow fall of the season!




Not so sure about this snow thing




She face planted it





Did I mention how cold it got inside? This is the switchplate right by the front door





We hope everyone is staying warm!

The Best Big Sister!

I'm going to be a BIG SISTER!

There it is!

Where's your belly button?
(Thanks Jillian for snapping these cute shots!)

We are super excited to have a new addition to our family!  I am due January 18, 2011 which still seems sooo far away. The anxiety I feel when I think about the delivery is starting to subside and I am getting more excited/scared/terrified to have two little ones to care for.

We're gonna party like it's yur burfday!

Alli's Invitation

Cake Pops

Birthday Goodness!

My first fondant cake

Birthday girl and Grandma Leah

She finally took a mouthful

Waiting for her to smash her cake but she just wanted to pick the sprinkles off one by one lol

"Ohhh bubbas" she says!

We celebrated Alli's first birthday on the 23rd. It was a lot of fun and she got SPOILED. We are going to have plenty to do this summer. Her Grandma and Grandpa Hansen got her a sand and water table that she loves! Dayne and I got her a little splish splash pool and Vickie got her a little sprinkler. Too bad it has been toooooo cold and we haven't been able to play in the water:( Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us!

Alli's New Accessory

Today! Day 3 and doing much better. My cute Visiting Teaching partner made her some bows that we could attach with velcro. She even made her a John Deere bow.

The first day wearing her helmet. I was trying to get a picture of her crying but when I pulled out the camera, she stopped crying and started smiling. Little Turkey!

After it was off

The cast

They made a plaster cast of head head. She hated it!

Her head will be measured every 4 weeks

Before being fitted for her helmet

Alli was recently diagnosed with plagiocephaly
which is basically an asymmetrical head. She has a flat spot on the right side of her head which has caused her eye sockets and ears to no longer be alligned. After intense occupational therapy along with intense positioning and tummy time, the OT and Dr. feel that her head is not reshaping itself fast enough (this only works while the skull and sutures are still soft) so they reccommended putting her in a special helmet that will reshape her head as it grows to prevent future problems (TMJ, headaches, balance) and prevent surgery later. This process takes about 4 months wearing the helmet 23 hours a day, sometimes more, sometimes less (hopefully less).
