Fall Fun!

On September 25, my dad turned 50 so Christopher and I drove down to surprise him...along with some family from Wisconsin. We had to stop by Aunt Penne's nursery so Christopher could pick out some pumpkins. He had to help water the plants and pull the pumpkins in the wagon. He always has so much fun with Aunt Penne!

This is all of the family who drove from Wisconsin to surprise him for his birthday. It was a lot of fun and he was definitely surprised. He also liked Christopher's shirt that said "I love my papa".

Pregnancy Update

I had an appointment today and I am dilated to 1 cm! I'm so excited, even though it still could be a while. I'm just happy that what I was feeling was right. In a way I want it to happen soon, but we are having family pictures taken on October 11, so I don't want it to happen before then. He is kicking like crazy and I feel like he's trying to come out already, but he needs to stay in a for a bit longer. Well, hope you like the recent belly picture...it's huge!

We're back...

I can't believe it has been a year since I have posted anything on here. I don't even think anyone reads this, but I woul feel better if I started putting pictures on here again so people can see how big Christopher (and soon Gabriel too) is getting. I used to have a lot of trouble uploading pictures on here, but I'll give it another try. Hopefully I'll make the time to get on here more often. :)

This is a picture of Christopher riding the pony at the county fair last month. I think I enjoyed it more than he did...he just went along for the ride!

Playing at the Jordan Valley Fountains! It was so much fun!

3 months later...

So, it's been three months since I posted anything on here. I tried a few times, but my internet would freeze up. Here are some pictures from the last three months to update you.Christopher had his first Halloween and dressed up as a monkey...he was so cute!

He is our little climber...here he is climing into the dishwasher. We turned around and there he was!

Messy boy! This is after we had a long night of making Christmas presents. Our bath water was purple after this!

This is his first day eating a the big table at school! No more high chair for this big boy!

Almost 1 year old!

It's been a while since I had a chance to get on here and post new pictures of Christopher. He has become very fast at crawling and, just this week, has started walking around! Life is pretty crazy. Christopher is so energetic and fun...always keeping things interesting. I hope you enjoy the updated pictures. I just got a new camera for my birthday (an early present from Chris) so I'll be taking tons more pictures in the near future. :)

Falling Leaves

November 2007: We took advantage of the beautiful weather and falling leaves and had a picnic at Ritter Springs Park. Christopher had lots of fun playing in the leaves for the first time. We tried not to let him eat them, but he has fast hands!

Playing in the grass

On Wednesday, Chris and I did some gardening in the front lawn so we laid out a blanket and some toys and let Christopher go! He had lots of fun playing with his rubber duck and chewing on his blanket, but when he wanted to come see what we were doing he found that the grass was prickly on his hands. It was so cute...he wanted to crawl to us but he was getting so frustrated about he grass! We had a good time laughing at him.

Chrisopher is crawling, teething, and growing too fast!

I wanted to make this blog for all of you family and friends who we aren't able to see as often as we would like. Christopher is getting so big so fast and I want all of you to have the chance to watch him grow. On August 27 he started crawling and he has been in heaven since that day. Now we find him crawling into the bathroom, kitchen and all over the house. He has also figured out how to pull up, so he just thinks he is a big man! I can't believe he has grown up so fast. A few more updates on his growth...he has cut his first tooth and started saying his first word: dada! (even though he loves mama more:) He started going to the Child Development Center, where I work, and he is really enjoying that. His favorite teacher is Ms. Melody and his classmates are: Sam, Ben, Hedda, Sarah, Alex, Landon, and Trey. He has lots of fun playing with his buddies all day, and even gets to see mommy sometimes! Well, it's getting late and I need to go to bed, so enjoy the pictures until I can make another post.
