No one said it would be easy... but it sure is fun!

Goodbye November! Hello December : )

Last week was simply amazing! We had such a great time having an early Thanksgiving with Justin's family. And then we took off Tuesday night, on the train, to Whitefish MT. It was really fun. Jaymeson slept most of the way and did a really good job! We had a great time in MT. We got to see alot of family. When we first arrived we had breakfast with Dick and Jane Solberg (Jane is my Grandpas cousin). And then we went to Flathead with Uncle Rich. And later that night Jeane, Tim, Henry, Grace and Seely all arrived. We had such a great time with them. Thanksgiving was PERFECT and Jaymeson even got to try mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes for the first time! yummmm.. Now we are home and back to the grind. Jaymeson has been pretty needy this week because he got spoiled with being held, or rocked the whole time we were gone. Stroller rides have been fun this week. He is really enjoying himself!
As for me... I am getting rest, for the most part. Night time has been going really good. He still doesn't sleep for more than 4 hours in a row, but at least he eats, and goes back to bed. I hit a wall with my weight loss, which is really discouraging with the holidays around. I lost all my pregnancy weight in the first two months after Jay was born. But now I have found myself extremely hungry and gaining back a few pounds. I am going to keep walking the dogs/strolling Jaymeson and hopefully we can work up to a jog : ) Thats the plan ...
It would be AWESOME to get some visitors : ) No one ever comes and visits and the sad part is that Jaymeson is getting big fast and everyone is missing out. Oh well.. You lose half your friends when you get married and the other half when you have a baby. I have sent out some inquiries about some Mom groups so hopefully we make some new friends soon!
I can't wait for Christmas!




Whitefish MT.. BEAUTIFUL.. This was the sunrise, when we got off the train.

A busy week ahead...


Whawhoo! The holidays are here!
This Sunday we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with Justins family. And then Tuesday night we jump on the train to Whitefish MT, and then drive to Flathead lake. I can not wait to see my family and for them to meet Jaymeson.

Hello November!
Time has sure flown by quickly. Jaymeson is growing and learning so much! It has been such an exciting end of October, beginning of November. We have been so busy. We went to the pumpkin patch again, and found a big enough pumpkin to put Jaymeson in : )
We also had many playdates with the beautiful Annelise and Ainsley, including our own little halloween party. We also made a trip to the doctor for Jaymeson's 2 month check up. On October 24th he weighed in at 16lbs 11oz. which is HUGE! It is above 95% percentile. His length was 24in, which is right at the 95% percentile and then his head measured at the 90% percentile. He was all laughs and giggles the entire time we were at the doctor, she was so impressed!
Also, starting the end of October Jaymeson has just been happy as can be and laughing and giggling and kicking like crazy! He is also rolling over very well! I was even able to get him on video for his first ever, 100% on his own, roll over! It was extremely exciting.
We also went to get his pictures taken at the Picture People. Very excited : )
