Totally excited

I just want to let everyone know that I went to the doctor this morning and got a quick ultrasound done. I found out that we are having a BOY!!!! I am super excited and so is Marty. I can't believe how thrilled he is. I got some great pictures, but since we don't have a scanner, I can't get any pictures posted for all of you to see. I am going in on the 10th of Nov. to get measurements done and check everything else out. I am really excited to put together another baby room...this time in blue.

1 year

Today we went in for Elizabeth's 1 year check-up. Of course the doctor says she is perfectly healthy and looks great. She is sitting at 50% on all her measurements. She is 29 1/2 inches long, weights 20.6 pounds, and her head is 18 inches in diameter. The one thing we were told to do...again is to bathe her in a mild soap due to her dry skin and lather her in the cetaphil lotion after her bath. I was also told to put vaseline on her hands during nap time and bedtime to help moisturize

What a cutie

So...I thought these pictures were just adorable...look at her hair. I couldn't believe that I could get anything up and have it stay.

Pumpkin Patch

Saturday, Marty and I took Elizabeth to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin. Of course she didn't really know what was going on, but it was fun for us to watch her crawl through the pumpkins. We got some really great pictures of her with the pumpkins.

Elizabeth's Birthday

We had Elizabeth's birthday party on the 18th. She was only interested in playing outside with the other girls. I guess you can't expect much more...right. She enjoyed her gifts and loved the cake...or should I say the icing. It was a great and fun day. Her birthday was last Wednesday and I spent the day working. We did go out to dinner to celebrate her day, and she got to eat shrimp for the first time. She really liked it. I'm a little sad that she has made that milestone. That just means my little baby isn't a baby anymore.

New Mexico

We went to New Mexico this past weekend. We spent 4 days there and it was a nice visit. The weather was nice as well...compared to the cold Oregon weather. This was the first time Jeb and Hannah were able to see Elizabeth and we were able to see their new baby Lucy. I think Lucy looks like Jeb. While we were in New Mexico, we went to the balloon festival, but because there was too much wind we weren't able to see any of the balloon go up. On Saturday morning they inflated one of the balloons but that is all that happened.

Picture perfect

More pictures of my cutie.

I tried posing her in the first picture and it worked. At least she has half a smile on her face. In the second she's letting me know what she thinks of this picture taking thing.

Ash

This is Ash...he's really hard to see in this picture because of the lighting. I'm posting this for Korrie. Ash is clinging to the window, because he wants me to feed him. This is his new effort to let me know what he wants. If I don't feed him right away, he will continue hanginging on the window until I come out and he gets what he wants. I find this rather humorous.

Some pictures I want to share

A few weeks ago, we had a play date with our friends Ruby and Aliza. We went up to Aliza's parents home and spent the afternoon there having a great time. Remember, this is back when it was warm during the day.

We lounged by the pool and swam a little too.

We were able to see horses play the piano. Elizabeth really liked the horse's eye.
