Landon's 5 month checkup

So, my big boy had his check up yesterday and I was really anxious to find out his weight and height and see where he was percentile wise. Let me tell you, Landon has always been a pretty decent size. He was 8 lbs. 15oz. and 21 inches long when he was born. At his 2 1/2 month check up he was 15 lbs. 2 oz. and 24 inches long. (he was off the charts in weight, and 80th percentile in height) And today, he weighed 19 lbs. 1 oz. and was 26 inches long. (this time he was back on the charts for weight, barely...95th percentile and for height he was between 75th and 80th percentile, but whatever his head measured, that was off the charts) haha! I guess somewhere in all those measurements he has to be the biggest at something!
Aside from being healthy, my Landon sure is a sweetie pie!

Jaedyn at MDO

So, Jaedyn started going to Mother's Day Out at the beginning of September. This is her first time to be at "school" of any kind with the exception of Sunday School at church. Which, for any of you who know her, know that getting her to go to S.S. was a hard enough task. She seems to have always been quite attached to her mommy (and who can blame her, really?) Anyway, we started MDO to get Jaedyn used to going to school and to give mommy a little time to get things done. (Another side note I need to include is that she hasn't been a regular nap taker since she was probably 18 months old.)
Her teachers have informed me that Jaedyn doesn't like nap time and usually throws a big crying fit! So, I have tried to work with her on this and explain to her that she doesn't actually have to sleep, she just needs to lay there and be still and quiet. (Once again, for those of you who know her, know that she doesn't like to be quiet or still.) Anyway, today I picked her up and her teacher told me that they had major tears at nap time, and during those tears Jaedyn kept saying she wanted mommy (again, no surprise), but my favorite part of her crying fit is when she said,

"I want my mommy, my mommy is beautiful!!"

I just thought that was the sweetest thing my girl could say! And it definitely made my day!

New

Okay, so we are a little new on the blog scene, but decided to give it a go. A lot has happened to us since we got married. Just a few months after Jason and I got married, we found out we were expecting Jaedyn. Our precious baby girl was born July 14th, 2006. We have enjoyed being parents so much we added a baby boy to our family on May 4th, 2009. For now, Jaedyn and Landon keep us busy, but that's not to say there won't be more someday. We're still thinking about that! :-)
