SANTA!! (In January??)

Ok so I now I am SUPER late on getting these posted, but I had to post them no matter what because they are just too cute not to share. Kate, Chris, the girls, and myself went to go see Santa Claus at Bass Pro Shop in late November and here are the pictures from that day. :-)

*BTW - I took video of the whole thing too - yep that's right - I was one of "those parents". ;-P

Jaydin with Mrs. Claus and Santa (she was too scared to sit on Santa's lap).

SNOW!

A couple weeks ago we got our first snow storm and Avah was very interested in all the white fluffy falling stuff. So Chris and I opened our back patio door and let her watch and feel the snow for a few minutes. It was really cute watching her examine it and her reaction to the feel of it. :-)

She Did It!!!

Last night was the first night our little munchkin slept in her own room ALL night! :-)

She has slept throught the night in the past but it was in her swing. We have also gone several hours before bringing her into our room and finishing up the night in her swing, so this is huge for her and for us. I'm not expecting it to happen tonight or on a regular basis yet but just knowing that she will do it is a sigh of relief. Now Chris and I didn't sleep very well last night since we were only half asleep waiting for her to start crying, but that is ok because half asleep is better than no sleep. ;-P

Baby and Mommy Playdates!

Here are some photos of Avah with a few of her friends. :-)

This playdate took place at Jamie's house when Avah was 6 weeks old.

Vincent and Avah - Vincent is 3 weeks older than Avah.

Vincent (9 weeks), Avah (6 weeks), Finley (6 months), and Graysen (7 months)

Finley and Graysen

This playdate was at Nikki's house just a week before I headed back to work.

Vincent (12 weeks) and Avah (9 weeks) - Look at her legs go! ;-)

Vincent and Avah - Don't worry Amery, Avah only has eyes for you. ;-)

Avah (9 weeks)


This playdate was at our neighbors house. They had a little girl on July 25th.

Addison (2 weeks) and Avah (5 weeks)

Avah!

I'm so lame, I try and try but always forget to update our blog. I think Shannon was the only one who checked it anyway. ;-) Not much happening except that we are trying to get Avah to sleep in her own room. It's not going as well as Mom and Dad would like but we will get there. ;-P

Here are some cute pics of Avah (who actually turned 3 months yesterday!). :-)

Put that skirt down and act like a lady. ;-)

Baby Bump Billboard Photos

Some of you may remember that I entered a belly contest for a radio station a couple weeks ago named Alice 105.9 out here in Denver. Well unfortunately I didn't win the contest but I thought I would post the pictures on our blog just because I think Allison did such an awesome job! :-)

Allison used non-toxic/washable Crayola paints and markers and the fumes of the paints actually made me sick! For the first time during my pregnancy I actually threw-up, I should have won the contest for that reason alone but oh well it was fun and now I have pictures for my pregnancy journal. :-)

23 Weeks and Counting

I've been slacking and haven't posted my 20 week photo that I had Chris take three weeks ago, but here it is now.

Everything is going well for us, we are working on the never ending master bathroom project right now. Chris started painting and put up part of our new closet organizer. Hopefully we will get that done this weekend so we can move clothes out of the spare bedroom closet and get a little more organized. Plus that will start to free up the spare bedroom to start turning it into the nursery. :-) We have already discussed paint and different ideas, but bedding is hard to decide on. There are so many wonderful options and I just can't make up my mind, but I better do it quickly b/c time is ticking.
