Hopsital Day 2

Beth Ann stopped by this morning to see me.

Aiden and Parker had a great time opening a few big brother presents!

My brothers wanted to see me, so Mommy let them come up right next to me but,

then they both wanted to hold me. I have such great big brothers!

Grandma Jo,

Allison and Peter,

I was very excited to meet my family this morning, but I think my brothers were even more excited to finally meet me!

39 Weeks

Boy are we excited - the paper chain is down to 1!

Inside Out

I wore this underwear yesterday, so after I went potty this morning, I put it on inside out. That's the right way to do it, right?

Center Grove Orchard

We went to the Center Grove Orchard after our naps today. Since it was a chillier day, there weren't a whole lot of people there, so it was great for us to explore! Of course, I really liked the ducks.

well...and the goats. The goats were really silly since they liked to head butt each other!

We both started off on the train, but before it started moving I got off. Aiden got off and ran back to us about half way around the loop.


You wouldn't believe all the cool stuff they had for us to do.  This is a large 'pillow' for us to jump on.  We had a great time.


Here we are swimming in a pool of corn!


We took the hay ride all around the farm. There were many things for us to look at!


Before we left, we had to get our picture taken here. I was so into this, that I made Daddy take a picture with me too!

We sure hope we get to come back here again soon!

Dinner Out

I've taken a liking to ribs, just like Aiden!


Aiden tonight decided that he liked ham a lot more!


This is what happens if there is a TV on or nearby while we eat dinner.


Look, my belly is as big as Mommy's!

Laundry Helper

I love to help Mommy with the laundry as much as possible!

Conversations with a Preschooler

Before preschool....
Mommy: Aiden, what starts with the letter A that you want to take to preschool this afternoon?
Aiden: An anteater
Mommy: But we don't have an anteater, perhaps we can find something that we have.
Aiden: Maybe we could go to the forest and catch an anteater so I could take it to preschool.
Mommy: Umm...I'm pretty sure that we don't have any anteaters around here, and I'm not sure that they even live in forests. Perhaps we could find your airplane to take with you.
Aiden: Okay

After preschool...
Mommy:  Aiden, while you were at preschool, I looked up some information about anteaters.
Aiden:  Really, where do they live?
Mommy:  Not around here, but they live in rain forests
Aiden:  See, I told you they lived in the forest.  I was right!

Cracker Jacks

We love singing, 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game', but we had no idea what Cracker Jacks were until tonight. Thank you Aunt Lori for getting us some Cracker Jacks. We sure enjoyed them on our evening stroll tonight!

Playgroup

 What a great morning to be playing outside with some friends.  We even played fairly nicely together on the swing set.


Do you see what we are all looking at?  It's a 'tiger' butterfly!

Girl

Mommy! Mommy! I look like a girl!

Preschool

Aiden started preschool today. Mom moved him into the 4 and 5 year old room which also means that he was moved to the afternoon. There are only 6 in his class, which also means there is plenty of time for us to play on the lion without sharing!

Since preschool is in the afternoon, we have plenty of time to play at the park. These girls aren't in school with Aiden, but we had a great time playing with them. Here we are pretending to watch a Diego movie!

Labor Day Picnic

Daddy thought it would be great to head to Big Creek for his day off and have a picnic. We played lots with discs and a soccer ball.

We also just ran a whole lot!

I stayed very hydrated which meant I had to hide behind many trees!

Painting

Since we already need a bath from playing out in the flower pots, Mom thought it would be a great time for us to paint a little. We love to paint and the bath that follows!

Planting

In between rain showers today, we diced to replace the flowers in Mom's planters out front with some gorgeous mums. Grandma Jo helped us.

We had a great time pulling out the old flowers.

We also had a great time digging in the dirt. We had to make a lot of room for the new flowers.

Aquarium

Who needs an aquarium when we can spend hours watching the Mom, Dad, and baby toad outside our Egress window!

Pump It Up

We had a great time running around at Pump It Up this morning with Zoe and her Grandma.  I bet she took a great nap when she got home too!


Of course, we also hit the big slide.


One ball bounced out of the bouncy house, no worries, I got it!

 Parker does an exceptional job keeping up with me. That's my foot at the top of the climbing wall, but Parker was close behind and made it to the top all by himself!

Here we are actually playing in the same area.

Please can we come back again?
