The Heat is On

Well, our family pictures haven't come in yet so we had to make do with my at-home studio. It was good anyways, as I wanted to make sure the setup looked cute for my two Christmas baby sessions in early December. We didn't pick these pictures, so don't worry it will still be a surprise!

Anias: Week 9

I like to suck on my thumb, but only my left thumb and I get really mad if mom interrupts me. I love looking at fans and smiling at them and my eyes are definitely a dark blue. Mom is rushing to get pictures of me in all the cute 3 month clothes Mimi made before she can't button them anymore! This one is named in my honor. It's called the Aniasaurus.

Anias: Week 10




The biggest news is that I rolled over for the first time today! Mom was reading Eli a book while we laid next to each other. I first rolled to my side so I could hug him, then I just kept on going to my belly! I had my first fever ever, but it was thankfully a really short one and didn't seem to bother me much. I'm into 6 month clothes now.

Eli:

Mom had to tell me "don't vacuum your brother" this week when I got a little carried away at the car wash. I help burp Anias and will tell him "it's ok baby, we're almost there" when we're in the car. Mom asked me this week what makes me happy and I said Anias. Her heart melted!

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it.                     Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain:   29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks.         Trick or Treat Turnovers                                                       Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on                   Scarecrow Crunch For dessert       Candy Corn Rice Krispies                        Monster Mash Pudding                  Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
