Trunk or Treat!

Here's a sneak peak of Jensen's Halloween costume...He's so dang cute as Mickey Mouse! We took him to a Trunk or Treat tonight at a local church. Although he didn't understand the concept of holding his little pumpkin and saying Trick or Treat, he LOVED it! He enjoyed watching the other kids run from room to room, playing with the alphabet carpets and just watching all the action! Happy (early) Halloween!

Coloring!

Jensen loves playing with the crayons! Here are a few pics and a little video (for some reason the video is coming up very fuzzy???).

Fall visit to Colorado

Jensen had his last FREE flight last weekend...At least, I don't anticipate us flying anywhere again before March, especially with a newborn! With Jensen being so active and wanting to constantly move, the thought of flying with two children could very well send me into a panic attack!

Grandma Swanee, Jensen & I met up with Grandpa Swanee at the Atlanta airport and all boarded a flight to Denver to visit Molly & Josh. We had the BEST time! The weather was absolutely perfect throughout the entire weekend. We went to Anderson Farms, which was the perfect fall adventure for Jensen....a petting zoo, hay maze, corn maze, hay ride to animals and a pumpkin patch....all with a beautiful backdrop of the Rocky Mountains! Gorgeous!

We had a fun-filled weekend - attended a fundraising breakfast for a friend's place of employment, Molly and I got away for a pedicure, visited with Jon & Cathy, went out to eat, played frisbee golf and just enjoyed the family time together.

Jensen never truly adjusted to the time change. It was so cute...the first night we got to Molly & Josh's house, he kept walking around the house saying, "night night." I didn't really think he was ready for bed, but he just kept saying it. I put his pj's on and he still continued to say it. So I decided to lay him down and he went right down! He was asking to go to bed the entire time...it was hilarious...and definitely a first! However, he woke up every morning just before 6am!

Jensen enjoyed his visit with the family...By the time the weekend was over, he knew everyone's name and was able to point to everyone. He would say names when prompted and he called Riley, Bailey all weekend! How great that he thinks we can just take Bailey with us everywhere we go:)

The weekend sadly came to an end. We won't see Molly & Josh again until 2011 since they won't be traveling east for Thanksgiving and we won't be heading north for Christmas. It's definitely going to be a different kind of holiday season without traveling to NY. But something tells me Santa will find us at our house...and then we will happily welcome baby Keaton to the world! It's hard to believe it's just 10 weeks away!!

Here's some fun pics from our trip to Colorado!

19 Months Old

19 months old and everyday is something new and exciting! He's constantly on the move and always in to something! He's able to verbalize more of what he wants, but still gets very frustrated when he can't communicate what he's trying to say. He is a little sponge and picks up on everything. We've been saying our good night prayer for months now and just recently as we get closer to the end of the prayer, he starts saying Amen! Amen! It's so cute to hear his little voice say it!
We had Jensen's 18 month appointment - He was in the 97th percentile for weight and head measurements and off the chart in height! Yet again, a definite offspring of Joe :)

Loving life!

I bought Jensen a new fire truck today. He loves the truck, especially the ladder! We had been out for a morning of errands and just as we were getting home, he fell asleep with his new truck on his lap!

Pregnancy Update

October 5, 2010

Welcome to the 3rd trimester! How is that possible??? I can't believe we've already entered the final stage of this pregnancy! I know I've been terrible about updating the blog with belly pics....it's just hard to find the time to take pics this time around (Can you say 1 1/2 yr old???)!

I had my 28 wk appt yesterday and everything was great! I took my glucose test and will have those results back in the next few days. My weight gain is following the same pattern as when I was pregnant with Jensen. Although I feel like I've gained weight differently and I feel bigger at this point, the amount of weight I've gained is pretty much exactly the same as it was with Jensen. My BP was 100/60.

Our little Sesame is extremely active, just as Jensen was! In fact, she's nestled into the same little place Jensen did, constantly digging her feet under my right ribs.

We've got our checklist of house projects we're trying to complete. Jensen will be moving into his big boy room within the next month. The plan is to keep him in a crib for a little while longer though. Once he's moved, we can begin making some changes to the nursery to "girl it up!" I'll post pics once things are complete!

Here are some belly pics from the past few months!

Jensen Update

Growth, change, discovery....Everyday Jensen is recognizing something new and increasing his vocabulary! I guess these changes occur at every age, but for some reason it seems magnified at this stage!
He's enjoying playing outside and loves playing with Bailey! She is definitely his best buddy right now:)

Here's some recent pics:

Reading a book before bed

After Jensen's bath one night, we decided to put on his old bathrobe....You can see it's a little too small now!

Mohawk in the tub!

Eating chicken florentine with a fork!

Playing in the front yard!

Here's a cute little story....The other night we were playing with blocks. Jensen would get about 4-5 blocks stacked up and then they'd fall. When they'd fall, he'd say "Oh No!"
