weekend with Aunt Rachel, Uncle Justin, and cousin Andrew

This past weekend, Justin, Rachel and Andrew flew up from Florida to visit and meet Jayden for the first time. Jordan was home, too. Jared's dad flew in from Wisconsin. We had a nice time visiting. :)

Rachel is pregnant with baby #2 and due December 17. I decided to throw her a mini baby shower while she was here! It was nothing big, but we had cake, balloon, cute plates/napkins, and presents! We are so excited to welcome baby Brandon!!! Rachel looks great!



Andrew is so cute! i can't believe he will be 3 in March! He was good with baby Jayden!


Here is a picture of me and Rachel with our babies!!!

It was so good to see you guys! :)

Jayden's first Halloween!

It was so much fun celebrating Jayden's first Halloween! He was 10 weeks old! In the morning, we dressed him in a pumpkin costume. He only wore it for enough time to snap a couple pictures then we took it off! He was a cute little pumpkin baby!!!







Then we headed over to Jared's mom's house because Justin, Rachel, and Andrew came from Florida to visit. Jayden loved his cousin Andrew!!! We tried the monkey costume, but it did not work out so well. He was hungry, tired, and hot... so putting him in this furry costume did not make things any better. We got a few pictures though!



Spiderman!!!!! (Andrew)

monkey boy!


Happy 1st Halloween, Jayden!

Daycare

We survived the first day of daycare yesterday. Jared and I dropped him off together in the morning. It was sad, but I did not cry. I guess I have been preparing for it for so long now. His teachers are very nice and helped assure us that everything would be fine! :)

I called around noon to check on him and they said he was fine, but he had a little bit of a "rough" morning. Poor Jayden is a very gassy baby. He has been since he was born. We always have to burp him so much- like after every ounce. He gets very fussy if he is trying to go to the bathroom, too. Anyway, Jayden was having a hard time going to the bathroom, but once he finally pooped, he was all smiles! :)

Today, I am home sick. I actually do not feel horrible, but I have been fighting this cold ever since going back to the germ-filled school. It started as just a runny nose, sore throat, typical cold. Then, I had an on/off low fever. The over the counter medicines just are not working for me. I have a really nasty cough now so it was time to get to the doctor for some antibiotics. The doctor said I have a sinus infection and gave me some antibiotics and some cough medincine, too. So, I am home resting. I do not want Jayden to get what I have so we are going to be EXTRA careful around here! I might even wear a mask!

I just called daycare to check on Jayden and they said he is doing just fine. He was getting his picture taken when I called! Isn't that adorable? Today is picture day! The background is really cute. Wonder how much they charge for that?!?!!? haha I am sure they will be cute, though. The teacher I talked to said they took the babies down earlier, but while four of the babies went first Jayden and Emily (another baby) fell asleep. So they let them sleep and took Jayden and Emily down after they woke up. Emily is just a couple months older than Jayden. She is the daughter of one of the teachers I work with at my school! :)

I better go rest. Even though I do not feel HORRIBLE I do not feel great and I need to rest. :)

We walked A LOT that day... Jared gave me a piggy back ride! :)


It was a little chilly outside and that is why Jayden is all bundled and cozy in his stroller!

Jayden is TWO MONTHS old!!!

It has been a while since my last post. I have been super busy. Since my last post, a lot has been happening! Let's see...

I turned 25! I had a great birthday on October 12. Jared and I had Applebees Carside To Go for dinner. My mom had flowers delivered to my school. I had a nice day with my kids at school followed by a nice evening at home with my boys!


Thanks, Mom! The flowers were beautiful! They lasted a long time, too! I just threw them away on Friday!!

Jayden helped my blow out my birthday candles. We celebrated with my family the weekend after my birthday. This cake was so good... Ukrop's chocolate cake. yummm!



Jayden played rummy for the first time!


We also went to Maymont Park with my family. (pictures to come soon - no time now!)
and we went to Olive Garden! This was Jayden's first time at a restaurant and he did great!

Jayden had a great time with Nana one week, Daddy one week, and Grammie one week. He is now 9 weeks old and is going to start Daycare tomorrow. It is going to be a sad day for mommy.

On Wednesday, Oct. 21, Jayden had his 2 month well-visit at the pediatrician. He is doing great! Here are is stats:
11 pounds 13 ounces (50%)
23 1/4 inches long (60%)
38 1/2 cm head (20%)
He had 5 immunizations (3 were shots) and Jared took him all by himself since I had to work. Jared is such a good daddy!!! Jayden did very well, too. He screamed right after then he was okay. His doctor says he is doing great. She even said he seems like he will be an early walker and talker considering all of his noises and how strong he is. He tore up all the paper on the table!

Two months...
-Jayden gets "real baths" in his baby tub
-smiles all the time at mommy and daddy (first smile 5 1/2 weeks)
-likes to stick out his tongue and play with his spit bubbles
-makes all kinds of cute noises
-holds his head up and is very strong
-wears size 1 diapers
-now likes to sleep in his swing
-lost a lot of hair
-eats 4-5 ounces/feeding
-has to burp a LOT!
-loves Target- haha seriously, he does!
-loves to look at lights
-uses his binky to fall asleep and calm him down

He's a cutie! :)

I can't believe Jayden is 2 months old!!! Happy 2 month birthday, stinker!




p.s. Pray for Jayden tomorrow as he starts daycare. Actually, he will be fine. Pray for me! :)
