Baby legs!

Fred and I had an appointment earlier this month for our 13 week ultrasound and NT scan. The scan went well and we got some great shots of baby. I especially love the "baby legs" shot, where you can see so much detail, even his or her toes! It's amazing what you can see at 13 weeks. Soon we will know whether this baby is a boy or a girl. I've got lots of plans for baby's room so I'm trying to wait patiently to start planning until we know! I feel like it will be a win/win for us either way. We would be thrilled with another girl and yet excited for a new adventure with a boy. We just can't wait to see what is in store for us.

October Fun!

We had a great weekend! We went to Silverdale to visit Grandma and Grandpa Leist, celebrated Grayson's 3rd birthday in Gig Harbor and went to the pumpkin patch at Spooner Farms.

Grayson's party was at a new place in Gig Harbor called Jump! It was so fun! Avery loved going down the slides and jumping. We can't wait to go back so the kids can play again. Grayson had a great day. He's turning into such a caring and funny little boy!

Avery is so light she was flying all over the place

Blowing bubbles with Grandma

We spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Leist. We explored the world of leaves one morning outside their house. Grandma and Grandpa also carved a pumpkin with Avery. Ok, well all she did was take the guts out but she still loved it!

She had a great time exploring

But got a little tired towards the end

Pumpkin fun!

On Sunday we took Avery to Spooner Farms with Grandma and Grandpa Bull and Jody, Ryan and Grayson. The kids had a good time. It was so busy and traffic was a nightmare but at least we can now say that we did it!

They loved the pigs

And the bunnies

I think this is why I hardly ever take pictures. Toddlers never look in the camera and smile!

So many pumpkins that she couldn't take her eyes off of them!

In other exciting news we are thrilled and overjoyed to announce that we are expecting baby #2 sometime in early April 2011!

September Update

I have been so bad about taking pictures the last couple of months! Avery is growing up before our eyes and learning new things everyday and I wish I would remember to take actual pictures and not just from my phone. We have lots of fun things coming up so I'll be sure to remember. Here are a few from September when the weather was still beautiful. Avery loves being outside and so we were sure to take advantage of the great weather.

The last picture is her first pony tail! It's hard to believe her hair is long enough but the curls seem to hide the actual length of her hair. Now only if she'd stop pulling it out all the time. :)
