God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corth 5:21

Graduate Nurse

On December 9th I did it....I was pinned as a graduate nurse from Brookhaven College!  It was such a great feeling.  It is hard to believe that the process of becoming a nurse started over 4 years ago with night classes and now I am finally done.  HOORAY!  I couldn't have done it without all the love and support of my wonderful husband, family and friends.  Thank you.

 Adeline all dressed up!

Our sweet princess is 2 months-old!  Today we took her to visit with Dr. G for her 2 month well visit.  She is a healthy baby girl and we are so thankful.
  • Weight: 11.3 lbs (70-75%)
  • Height: 22.5 in (75%)
  • Head: 15.3 in (70-75%)
Adeline has recently found her voice and will talk and flash you a smile when you talk to her.... It melts my heart.  Here are some pictures taken of her during some of our recent conversations.

Big Brother Anders

Here is some fun updates on our little man Anders.  He is taking on his big brother role, slowly but surely.....looking like a big brother with his new haircut (the lady spiked it..hee...hee).

 
Anders is all boy- loves to climb and swing.  Here is Anders climbing on the dog at the old Navy display.  He would probably stayed there all day if we had let him.
 Besides climbing things he loves to swing.  Here is the little man showing off his new found trick.

Speaking of tricks....we passed out candy to all the trick and treaters on Halloween as well as had a blast at the fall festival.  Anders was the cutest Tiger!

Princess Adeline

Adeline Sue Larson

I had a healthy pregnancy.... then a safe and healthy delivery that ended in this beautiful little life on September 13.  Our sweet baby girl, Adeline, will be 8 weeks old on Monday and I am embarrassed that this is my first posting on the blog.  Time has flown by, especially with nursing school starting back up just 10 days after she was born.  Adeline is such a wonderful addition to our family.  It seems she changes almost every day.....so I am going to try to start blogging more frequently to keep up with her.  So here are her birth stats....bear with me in the next few weeks as I try to catch up the blog.

I am looking forward to the many adventures the lie ahead with my Anders and Adeline.

Baby girl- 36 weeks

My belly is sure expanding, which means baby girl is really growing.  Just like her brother she is measuring "big", so last Friday we had a sonogram done just to be on the safe side.  According to the sono, she is about a week ahead in growth and is weighing in at about 6 lbs!  We may not make it to her September 24th due date.

Here are her most recent pictures.
I also wanted to post some family pictures we just got back.  We took these around 31 weeks (please disregard the "yellowish" color- I took a picture of the printed pictures).

Anders is 18 months or 1 1/2 years!

Today is the 21st of August, making Anders 18 months old or a year and half.  Wow!  Wanted to share with you some of Anders many faces that make us laugh every day.
At 18 months Anders is.....running, climbing on all and anything he can manage- found him on top of our kitchen table the other day, loves dogs, playing with his cousins, eating with a fork or toothpick, jumping off steps or some kind of height, talking, pounding toys, throwing balls (or anything else he can that doesn't get a "no...no" from mommy), loves his pacifier, reading books, pretending to talk on the phone- he does a great imitation of daddy, and being around people.  He is sleeping from about 7:30 p.m. until 6:00 a.m., which is when he wakes up for his morning drink and then goes back to bed for about an hour.  During the day he is down to one nap, right after lunch, and sleeps for about 2 hours.  His favorite toys are the remotes, the piano, his broom, balls, and panda or bunny.  He is a wonderful little boy and we are so thankful!!!!

His 18th month "well visit" with Dr. G shows that he is a growing, tall and lean little boy.
  • Weight: 23.10 lb (20-30%)
  • Height: 33.5 in (90%)
  • Head: 19.5 in (95%)
At his appointment we were cleared to stop the pedisure- Hooray!
