Landries baptism

On Sunday the 17th of July we had Landrie Baptised. It was beautiful and a day we won't soon forget. Landries Godmother is my older sister Nikki and her Godfather is Mark's younger brother Matt.

Landrie's first bath

Mommy putting me in the bath - I still have my cord


I obviously am not in love with this bath thing


Jaren is not quite sure what is happening


Time didn't really make it better


It is much better now that daddy is cuddling me

Jaren's second birthday

For Jaren's second birthday we had his grandparents and godparents come over for dinner, gifts, and ice cream cake. We had a great time and daddy made a good dinner in the scolding heat.

She is really filling out and growing a second chin :) I will try to post some baby pics soon, I am hoping to take pictures of my and marks baby pics and then one of Landrie so you can all see who you think she looks like. Mark and I have a definate opinion.

Jaren got a fat lip this day and didn't really know how to handle it - it was cute watching him lick his lip all day, only because he wasn't acting like it hurt.


He thought he was a big dog this night drinking water from mommy's target cup while wearing his sunglasses. We almost didn't get the glasses off before bed either.


If this weather would just pass we could play outside again, Jaren desperatly wants to play outside again. We have made it outside a few times at 7:30 for a while before it gets blistering.


Having a baby sister is exhausting.


When Landrie came home from the hospital she was wearing a hat and Jaren though he needed to have one too. Mark grabbed one of mine from the closet (yes, my hats fit Jaren's head) and he wore it all night then he thought mommy's new cup from the hospital was pretty cool. He thought he was pretty cool this night.


Jaren got a fever when Landrie was three days old and spent much of his day cuddling with daddy and drooling on him.


Landrie loves when daddy holds her like this.


Jaren still likes to share his cars with Landrie - thank goodness she is tolerant


Jaren loves his baby sister - Landrie is holding out on making a call on if she likes Jaren :)

Check ups

Last week we went to the kiddo's 2 week appointment (Landrie) and 2 year appointment (Jaren). This is where they stand!!!

Jaren:
Weight - 31 pounds 83%
Height - 35 1/4 75%
Head Circ - 51 95% (you're surprised aren't you)

Landrie:
Weight - 8 pounds 6 oz 41%
Height - 21 1/4 75%
Head - 55%

Both kiddos are healthy and good to go. Jaren had to get one shot and handled really well. He doesn't have to get more shots till 5 years, except for the flu shots. Landrie didn't get any shots, but she gets the whole slue of them on her 2 month appointment in later August.

Our baby boy is TWO!!!

Our baby is two years old!!! We can't believe it and we can't believe how hard it is to get good pics of a two year old. Amy did another amazing job. She ended up running in the yard and chasing Jaren then stopping and turning quickly to get the pics. 200 and some pictures later these are some of the AMAZING shots she got.

Here are the newborn pictures of our beautiful daughter. My sister Amy again took these pics for us and we are obviously very pleased with them. Amy did a great job of capturing her beauty!!! Enjoy

2 years old

Quick post to say Happy Birthday to our baby boy :) He turned two yesterday and we can't believe it. He is such a big boy these days and we are having so much fun watching him grow. He is saying more words everyday and really showing his personality (which is not always happy go lucky) but all the same, his so we love it.

We are VERY excited to continue to watch him grow and learn how to be a big brother. He is still doing wonderful with Landrie, the Lord has blessed us in so many ways.

Thursday Jaren has his two year check up and Landrie has her three week check up (the doctor was sick at two weeks so we have it this week) Their appointments are actually together, Mark will be joining us for the appointments. Can't wait to see how big Jaren is on the charts now and to see where Landrie is on the charts at all.

We have Jaren's two year pictures done as well and Landries newborn pics and hope to post them soon.

Landrie pics

Here are some pictures, I know finally right, I have a lot of good reasons/excuses. Mostly that I'm tired and have underestimated the recovery time from having a child, that or I'm a big baby. Also, the holiday weekend, and learning to balance sleep with two children.

Any way, I hope you enjoy, I have more to come I won't promise how soon as This weekend is Jaren's second birthday and Landie's doctors appointment. Kelsey and Marshal are coming to visit, then the following weekend is Landries baptism, so lots going on, but will work on posting more often.

Quick update: feeding is going really well, and I'm anxious to see how much weight she has gained at her appointment on Thursday. Jaren is doing great with her and is even doing a little better when Daddy is holding her. That is still our biggest hurdle with Jaren - sharing daddy. Overall we are all doing great. ENJOY THE PICTURES!
