Arden, 10 weeks old today…can you believe it?! It's been another fun-filled week (as you can see by the length of this post) and it started off with a visit to KC. We had this trip planned even before you were born because it's one of the best weekends of the year…Luke's birthday party! And this time, it actually fell on Gigi's 60th too…so how could we miss it? :) Papa planned a big surprise for Gigi…a hot air balloon ride that landed on their property, followed by a party ...
Pumpkin “Patch”
On Sunday we took a little family outing to the pumpkin patch…and by pumpkin patch I mean Hazel's dog ranch that was selling pumpkins. Next year we'll fork over the $12 a person to go to a real pumpkin patch…but hey, Arden couldn't tell the difference this time and she only lasted a few minutes anyway :) It wouldn't be the pumpkin patch with out a pair of Osh Kosh's, now would it? Arden wasn't a big fan, as you can see from the pictures. It was too hot and too bright. ...
Arden: Two Months!
Length: 22.75 inches Weight: 9lbs 14oz a week ago, so we're guessing 10lbs 5oz. Head Circumference: 15 inches Milestones This Month: You are cooing, gurgling and semi-giggling a lot. It's amazing the things we will do to get a smile out of you too :) You are getting more and more comfortable with tummy time every day. We were lucky if you made it for 2 minutes at a time during the first month, and now you're up to about 10 minutes a few times a day. I ...
All I Want For Christmas…
In my opinion, one of the (many) exciting things about becoming a parent is knowing that I'll get to be a kid again myself--reliving all of the fun aspects of childhood through Miss Arden. In a couple of years we'll be baking cookies and licking the spoons clean afterwards--because that's what kids do, right? And that's not it…I say bring on the Disney movies, coloring books, holiday classroom parties (I mean, who doesn't love the Halloween costume parade through the halls?), and who ...
8 Weeks Old!
Arden- I feel like you've changed so much over the past week! You've become quite the little chatterbox and I love it. I think I could sit there and coo back and forth with you for hours and video tape it…oh wait, that's exactly what I do :) You've started to reach for things--or should I say, swat at things. I've got a feeling that zebra on your changing table is going to take a beating before too long. You're also becoming quite the tummy time pro. Or maybe it's ...
Seven
Arden, You spent the majority of your sixth week in Kansas…lucky girl!!! The weekend forecast showed a high of 40 degrees, so we had to borrow some warm clothes from a friend down here. We're used to 90 degree weather and onesies, so this whole layering thing is new to us! I think you pulled it off though... I'd be lying if I said your dad and I weren't terrified about taking you on a plane. I had visions of screaming, blowout diapers and dirty looks from other ...
