FHE GIngerbread house

Here is our activity one Family home Evening. Mommy and our little girl made a gingerbread house. It was great our little girl kept eating every other candy between decorating the house. Although she did have fun putting every spare bit of candy on the house to. lol.

8 and 9 months old and a 3 year old checkup

Sorry that I didn't update his 8 month picture. Since he has already turned 9 months old and we have had a doctors appointment I will post 2 pictures and tell you his numbers.

8 months old

I took him and his sister for their well checks and both are checked out fine. He weighed in at 22 lbs 13 ounces which is in the 80th %ile. That is totally foreign to me since my daughter was not even 20 lbs on her 1st birthday. He is also 30 inches long which is in the 91st %ile.

9 months old

So for my daughter since I have posted her 3 year old post already I will just give you stats. She weighs 31 lbs and is 38 1/4 inches tall BMI totaling 14.9.

3 years old today

Here she is already 3 years old today. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. I figured I would download photos from the last 3 years for your enjoyment. I can't believe how much she has grown. She is my smart, talented and beautiful little girl.

First day in the hospital. I didn't want to let her go.

Random Picture

OK I took this a week or two ago. She had just finished her bah and had gotten ready for bed and this was what she looked like when she came down the stairs to say goodnight to me. I thought it was cute enough to share. Don't ask what on TV although I am pretty sure that it was the news.

End of an era

Most people that know me know that I have had a Palm Pilot in my posession for a very long time (a little over 11 years.) Well, as of last Tuesday that came to an end. I now have a Motorola Cliq that uses the Android OS. It is a very cool smart phone (I just happen to be writing this post from it.) I would have liked to stay with a Palm device (like the Pre) but it is not available on my mobile phone network. Like I said though I really like this new phone. There are still some things I need to setup before my phone is completely functional. It was really weird the first couple of days not carrying my Palm but I really like not having so much stuff in my pocket. Anyways, the next time I see any of you don't be surprised if I pull out my phone to show some of the cool (a.k.a. nerdy) stuff I can do with it.

7 months old

Wow I can't believe that he is already 7 months old. A lot has happened this last month with him and because of Halloween I almost forgot to do this update as well. So now to repent.

~He has 2 teeth on the bottom that has come in this last month.
~He crawls. Tries to keep up with his sister.
~Sits up on his own and has amazing stomach muscle strength.
~He enjoys his food and there is nothing that he will refuse to eat. So far though all we have offered him has been fruits, vegetables, and baby cereal and he loves it all.
~Is currently wearing size 12 month clothing. I'm hoping that now he is crawling maybe we won't have to go up to the next size for a while.
~Loves his bath time and gets himself all over the bathtub to play with his toys.
~Is already starting to try and pull himself up so that he can see things better. So far he is only getting to the knees.
~Loves his mommy, daddy and big sister.
~And is a very happy baby. I love his smile and laugh.

We feel so blessed to have him in our lives. I love to watch him and his sister interact. If for some reason his sister is having a hard time all he has to do is reach over and touch her and she is all better. And in return if he hears her voice he will drop whatever he is doing to turn and look at her and will give her the biggest smile. He is growing up so fast. I wish sometimes that he would slow down a little, but that is the way of parenting. I am constantly reminded by him and his sister that this time is fleeting. I just hope that I don't wake up tomorrow and have teenagers. :0) I truly want to continue enjoying this time I have. Now how do you slow down time?

Halloween 2009

Here she is all bundled up for the pumpkin walk we went to this week.

Halloween pajamas, ready for bed, aren't they cute.

Grandpa went with. At one point she had Grandpa carry her candy bucket. She apparently didn't trust mommy and daddy.
This one looks spooky
