A visit with Memaw and Papaw November 2012

Thank you to Memaw and Papaw for visiting with us and driving all that way!  We loved having you here and wish we could see you more often!

How Jeanne sees the world.  a.k.a. she took the photos

Look Mom, I'm wearing Papaw's shoes!

Boy does he love this truck!

A catch a glimpse of Jeanne climbing the hung rope.

Almost over the top!

She did it!  No problem, and no help!

It seems like only yesterday I wasn't allowed to  have Loki out of my arms.

Can you see him here?  See how far away he has zoomed with that truck? 

(and yes, I could see/hear him the whole time)

Here's a zoomed in picture:

Still the same day...

More truck time, this time with SAND!

My beautiful babes

We miss you Memaw and Papaw!

October 2012 PHOTO review!

Guess I have to do this the long way, which is a bummer, but hopefully, this works!

First chilly day, let's go for a walk.

They wanted to hold hands and be close, I didn't ask them to pose.

October 2012 in review.

Halloween came and went. Raleigh has had some nice fall days and we did lots of Halloween crafts and sensory bins. Loki was fully weaned early in October and our last nursing session went without any tears any either part.

Now November is here and we have yet another holiday to get ready for. But right now, Memaw and papaw are here for a visit.

Photo issue.

Just an FYI, I have tried to update my blog twice, but it says I have reached my photo limit.  Iwill try to figure something out.  Stay tuned.

They keep growing and growing.

Loki recently had his 18 month check up.  While he has grown taller in the last 3 months, he has gained no weight.  He's actually gained no weight in the last 6 months, but they say he is still O.K.

We've made in-roads to him sleeping through the night, as long as I don't care when he wakes up.  Good think I'm a morning person.

Right now, Loki loves anything having to do with trucks, cars, planes and dancing.  Put on some music and show him a book with an airplane, and he'll be happy for a good long while.

Words so far for Loki at 18 months:
beep (means car), bup (means truck), airplane (he says this clearly, go figure), geeene (Jeanne), welcome (means thank you, Jeanne got these two confused for almost a year, which I think is hilarious), this (he will point at something or bring me to something and say 'this'', when he wants something specific), up, down, open, close, "All Aboard!", choo choo (means train), efant (elephant).

Jeanne has been growing taller and taller too.  I had thought we would have plenty of clothes for the coming fall for Jeanne, as I bought her all 3T clothes last winter, and they were all large on her.  I was fine with rolling the sleeves up and the cuffs of her pants knowing she could wear them all the next fall/winter.  Well.....that isn't happening.  All of her shirts and pants are too short on her, in both the arms and legs.  So we have to go get all 4T clothing for her.  Yay.

In other news, it seems we are liekly to visit our family in Missouri for Thanksgiving.

Some pictures:

Playing with Marbles, each kid treats them differently.  Jeanne organizes them.

And makes a marble run for them using train tracks.

Getting ready for bed with Grandma.

Baby Rave or a.k.a glow in the dark bath time.

This is a test.

This is only a test. I want to see if I can use my instagram photos within my blogger app. An app within an app use.
