Baby Oh Baby!

So on November 15th we went to the doctor for the first time since finding out we are pregnant..we met Dr Gerken and I really like her, so that's a huge relief to me. I had a physical and blood work done..everything went really smooth. Then the best part, we got to see our baby...it was moving around like crazy, she had a hard time getting a measurement, but finally the size of baby confirmed our due date June 10th. This little 2.67 cm baby just blew Jeph and I away. It just overwhelmed both of us with so much emotion, excitement and wonderment of this new little baby that's growing.
We weren't able to get a picture but we really feel blessed to see our baby and hear from the doctor that everything looks great! Our prayers have been answered again, and we feel kissed by God!
We are officially in our 12th week and feeling pretty good..we are looking forward to sharing the news with our family at Thanksgiving!! :)


We wanted to commemorate our news and with Aiden we did it at the beach. Well last night it snowed so Jeph and decided to do this baby a little different.
Here are the pics from our snow fun!

Pregnant!!!

That's right, we are pregnant!! :) We have been thinking that summer 2011 would be the perfect time to have another baby...well, God is so good and we are blessed to be pregnant!! We can't believe how easy it was this time...we are so thankful for that!!!!







We told Aiden and he held the tests...the pics are quite funny. In one he looks happy to be getting a sibling and one making him look upset. We can't wait to see what kind of big brother he will be :)
We are due in June 10th. We are not gonna find out the sex of the baby this time and we are not telling our name choices either. :)
This pregnancy is already different...not much morning sickness, hardly any yucky symptoms at all..I feel pretty amazing!!
We also are gonna be in the process of building a house the whole time we were pregnant so this should be interesting.
Biggest things on our list...find a double jogging stroller, find a bigger family car, build our hosue, scrapbook/journal this pregnancy, maintain our current schedule, enjoy the holidays, and just be thankful for the blessings that God has given us!

Family Pics

It's the time of year when I work on Christmas cards...we got some professional pics taken for a MOPS fundraiser. The pics turned out great, but we can't legally use them for our Christmas cards :( So we went after church yesterday to attempt some beach pics/family pics.
Well here is our first attempt at a family pic...mind you it was pouring down rain(cold, cold rain), Aiden was ready for lunch and a nap, and it was windy.





Then we got home and it quit raining and we were all still dressed so we decided to try again...and we got this great pic that we will be using this year.




So we will attempt some beach pics again...but probably later this week when the weather is nicer.

Mr Aiden is 18 months

It is offical Aiden is 18 months...wow, time has flown by!! Our big boy is growing and changing so much..he is in full toddler mode.
He is constantly blabbing and he now says up to 20 words or so...some of his newest and favorite words: bath tub, Dan(for Daniel), baa(sheep noise), moo, fish(goldfish), and Oh. We love listening to him babble it's really amazing to be able to communicate with your little guy. We still continue to sign...mostly diaper, baby, please, thankyou, milk, all done, drink, eat...he signs when he wants :)

He is quite the funny guy...he spins around, he has learned to "surf" on a towel that papa tony pulls around. He loves to read, sing, dance, and be with older kids. He does a touchdown move and now shows us his fake cough, and fake laugh. :) He is quite the character...Jeph and I think he will be a funny kid :)

He loves his cousins and friends...Daniel and Aiden even high-fived each other for the first time...it was cute! He loves bath time, and being outside...he is quite the little ham!

He is running everywhere and loves trucks/trains/cars and balls!!! He has quite the arm for a little guy! He recently had an 18th month well baby check.
His current stats: 31 and 3/4 inches, 22.9lbs, 19 3/4head

He is such a big boy and we are loving this toddler stage!!


Here is an attempt to get an 18 month pic with the sports balls that we have used in all the other month by month pics...and I thought it was hard to take a newborn pic:)
