Life in November so far....

The weather in November has been up and down...nice and warm for a few days to freezing cold and snowing the next couple of days...crazy! Anyways, here are some other pictures from November so far.

Pictures from October

Here are some pictures that show what we have been up to in October. Overall things have been going pretty good. Now that we are use to having a newborn around, life has gotten easier. At Addy's two week appt. she was 8lbs 0.5 oz. and 20 1/2 in. long. Emma at her 18 mon. appt. was in the 32 in. tall and 23 lbs. We also had an enjoyable Halloween w/ lots of candy!! Yum!

The Big Day!!

On Oct 1st Addison Marie Loveland was born at 8:10am. She weighed in at 7lbs. 13 oz. (2 oz. bigger than Emma) & was 20 in. long (Emma was 18 1/2 in.). The following pics are from that day. Emma was not allowed back to see us b/c of the flu season, so we have some pics. of her just playing at the hospital. We are all doing well, just adjusting to having less sleep.
Also, I didn't have time to sort through the pics. so I just posted all of them.

Older Pictures from Jan. to Apr.

Well I figured it was time to update the blog. In about 2 days our little family of 3 will be 4. I must admit, it will take some getting use to. So for now, here is an update on Emma...she is currently going to nursery w/ my mom until she is 18 months old. It is just a better fit for her right now. Also, she is quite the talker and recently learned how to blow raspberries on peoples' arms & thinks it is hilarious. She is also getting better at sitting during prayers. ONE BIG Thing is that she is finally getting more teeth in. For a while she has only had 3 teeth....two on the bottom & one on the top. It will be nice to not cut up food for her. Overall we are excited for our new bundle of joy and can't believe that it is finally here. We will see how Emma reacts to a new baby...Oh yes, our hospital currently won't let anyone 12 & under visit patients, so I don't know if we will have any hospital shots w/ Emma in them....sad...I guess we will have to wait until we get out. Here are some new and old pics. of Emma that I never posted.

One last thing, as of right now we haven't decided on a name: It will be either Isabelle or Addison, but Marie is still the middle name.

new videos

Here's a couple videos of Emma's new tricks that she's learned. There's also a picture of Emma's best pirate impression. Emma also does this funny thing where she folds her arms during prayers but we haven't gotten it on tape yet, so that will be up soon.

Random Pictures

The top pictures are of Emma in her bed, chair, and making a mess with her dinner. The first picture was taking when she could first start standing up. On the next line, there is a picture with my siblings/cousins in St. Louis. Here is Emma sitting on a quilt that her Great-Great Aunt Margie made for her. This was just after Christmas.

Now it's my turn....

Well, for those of you who didn't know, Steve has been the one to take care of the blog. So now that he is very busy with grad. school, I decided to take over some and figure out how to update it. So here are a few updates since our last entry:
1. I am no longer subbing!! ;) (now a full-time mom)
2. I am pregnant with a girl and due on Oct. 8.
3. We decided to go the c-section route b/c my pregnancies are so close together and we didn't want any complications to occur.
4. The name we decided on is: Isabelle Marie Loveland

I will post our latest ultrasound pictures up once I get them scanned.

Emma

new pix!

These are some pictures that we got over the holidays. Emma is doing well and growing fast. She's been crawling for a little while now and has started trying to stand up but can only stay up for a second before she falls again.
