Christmas is coming and a new addition to our friends family!

We put the tree up a little early this year to get Jack used to it before we decorated it! He was a little a scared but now says WOW alot and looks at the lights. He does enjoy unplugging the tree though. We prob will put decorations this weekend- at least ornaments at the top!

And Caleigh Michelle Shannon was born on Monday at 10:56 am She was 18.5 in and 8lbs 1oz. Lauren, my friend calls her the michelin baby- she has little fat rolls! She is way to cute and already is wearing a headband!

My little artist!

So we got some new markers and Jack drew a lovely picture and then though it was much funnier to color on his "belwee". I also had to give him a heart tattoo!! Luckily it all came off in the bath!

Whew- a yucky few days!

So our last couple days have been exciting but definitely in a fun way! A couple nights ago jack threw up in the middle of the night and we attributed it to eating something that didn't agree with him but it happened again the next night. We did many loads of laundry and Ryan really helped out especially when the smells got to me! Anyways, Tuesday afternoon he started having diherra and generally feeling yucky! Wednesday morning it got worse and he had two baths and two outfit changes before lunchtime. We went to his 18 month apt and otherwise he is fine. A little on the small size but she wasn't worried. He weighed 23lbs 8oz and was 30 3/4 in long. I believe the weight because he hadn't eaten anything or kept it down in 2-3 days but for the length I think he is a bit longer -he refused to lay still on the table to get measured so we had to hold him down. She pretty much just eyeballed it! He had a fluoride treatment because the dentists up here wont see kids til 4 or 5! I told her about him being sick and she said it was going around- just to keep him hydrated. Today he actually ate three meals and had no diherra. Yippee!
Then last night it started in with Ryan! I am just hoping it ends there! I have washed everything or bleached it! Hopefully it goes away!

Jack will be 18 months old tommorrow

I really can't believe that a year and half has gone by already! He has brought so much joy to our lives with his smile, laugh and mischievous grin! He can climb, run, dance, jump and talk and he goes most all day long.

He is getting more independent and is looking with more interest at the potty. He does sit there but so far more of just a fascination- no results. We go tommorrow for his checkup and i will publish his height and weight- I am thinking 33 in tall and 25 lbs- but we will see.

This is from the science museum in Anchorage- They are in the middle of a bubble!
