An unexpected day out

An unexpected day out. We found out Sunday that Logan would be able to see life size versions of the Cars 2 characters. Lighting McQueen, Tow Mator, and Finn. So I took Jillian to spend some time with grandma Mary so Logan and I could have this time together. I didn't tell Logan right away what we were doing. He was just told its a surprise. He was over the moon to see characters from his favorite movie up close. Another plus for Logan was that his best friend Jacob was able to enjoy this afternoon with him.
The boys are so darn cute together.
Enjoy! the pictures I took, we also got a card to view pictures that were taken with the kids standing in front of the cars, but we have to wait 48 hrs before we can view them.

2 months

10-11-11-Jillian's 2month check-up. She weighed in at 9lbs 15ozs (14%), 22inches (25%), her head 15inches (50%). She also got immunizations 3 shots and 1 liquid. She did cry at the first stick, but once it was over and mommy could hold her everything was better. She loved the liquid that they gave her, she didn't waste anytime getting that down. Dr. Bargen was pleased with the way she is growing and commented on how strong she is with lifting up her head. She has been rolling over for a couple of weeks. During her tummy time she will get those arms up and over she goes. She also gets her legs up as if she is gonna try and crawl already.
We got some samples of a milk base formula (as a supplement), since we don't believe she has the MSPI. She mainly gets breast-milk. She is sleeping great at night, bedtime is around 9pm and she will mostly sleep until 4-5am, eat, and then sleep again until 7-8am. I'm loving that mommy gets sleep :).We are getting lots more awake time during the day and she is starting to take longer cat naps in her swing during the day. We have noticed that she is a light sleeper, so normal noises around the house will wake her. She still will not nap in her crib.
Our next check up is at 4 months.
I will end this post with some pictures of Jillian.

Just chillin in the bouncy seat

One last thing, we have Jillian's baptism scheduled for November 6Th in Lincoln. I need to get invites out and decide what we want to do for a meal after and order the cake. As well as cleaning the house. The never ending job.

October Already?

Wow! its October already, wonder where the summer went? With Halloween and Thanksgiving just around the corner, we are busy getting ready for trick or treating. Logan and I just put up the Halloween decor on the storm door and other decorations around the house. We have pumpkins waiting to be carved. This weekend was a busy weekend filled with lots of family fun activities. Saturday we went to check out a new/cheaper pumpkin patch. It was basically a small Roca berry farm. Logan really enjoyed the bounce house. Sunday we went to Vala's in Omaha, Logan loves Vala's there is lots to do there.
I was worried ( like normal) about taking Jillian, didn't know how I would nurse or bottle feed her while there, but there was no need to worry we found a place to plug in the bottle warmer for a bottle and managed to find a nice shaded area away from people to nurse her. She loved the fresh air and slept most the time in her stroller. I'm guessing the bumps helped with her sleeping. Amazed how little ones love to be gently bounced.


It was a special day at Vala's Nebraska's astronaut Clay Anderson was there to speak, take pictures and sign autographs.

The fast slide, Logan loves this


Jillian will be 2 months on Saturday. Can't believe how fast the time is going. She is changing everyday, she is awake more during the day, talking to her family, she is sleeping better at night, just last night she went to bed at 930pm-530am,up for a feeding then back down until after 8am. She also finally took a long (nearly 3hrs)nap in her crib.
I went to Milkworks the other day to get a another Miracle blanket(a amazing swaddle blanket), while I was there I weighed Jillian, she was 9lbs 9ozs. She is growing fast. Can't wait to see how long she is at her 2months check up on the 11Th.
I will end this post with some pictures of Jillian to show how much she is changing.



Bedtime story, Jillian was really interested.
