A post of pictures

I've finally got Patrick to help me with all of our pictures, since they aren't on this computer.  (Our mac died a few weeks ago and we've been struggling with transferring everything over to our other dying computer).  Here is just a ton of pictures from the past little while.  Enjoy!

Chillin' in our pjs

 Patrick wore this church outfit when he was little, it's too little for Alden now, but it makes a great picture

 About to go out Trick or Treating

Leigh's 2 month check up

My baby is getting so big!!  We just got back from taking Leigh to the doctor for her two month check up.  She is getting so big and the time is just flying by.  She is weighing in at 13.2 lbs and is 22 inches long.  I knew she had put on some weight, but I was shocked at how much.  She's in the 93rd percentile.  We just love her chubby cheeks and legs.  The nurse today kept calling her "juicy".  I think that is a perfect way to describe Leigh.  She's so sweet and smiling.  The doctor was checking her and she just kept smiling and cooing at him.  She had to get a bunch of shots today and I always hate that part.  But she did well and then we were ready to go.  We got home and she took her medicine, nursed a little, and then passed out.  I remember Alden always taking really good and long naps on days that he got his shots.  I wish I had a current picture of her on this computer, but I don't.  I'll try to upload one later this afternoon.  But now, both babes are sleeping so I've got stuff to do.  Mostly that means I'll probably lay down for a nap too :)

Enjoying a Fall Afternoon

I know I have lots to catch up on, but currently both children are asleep.  And so I will be joining them shortly.  We spent the morning out and about shopping for Halloween/Fall decorations and Halloween costumes.  Last night as I was up nursing Leigh I was brainstorming ideas to keep me awake.  Hopefully they will turn out the way I imagined.  Here are a few pictures from a few weeks ago when we were staying at my parents while Patrick was in Utah for work.  It was beautiful weather so we spent our afternoons outside playing.  Hopefully I'll get more pictures up here soon.  This weekend we have Oma and Opa and Tyler coming to play with us.  We are so excited!  I hope I remember to bust out my camera a little more.

This is Alden's favorite place to be at Grammie and Poppy's house

After nap snuggle time

A few weeks ago after Alden woke up from his nap he came in to find Leigh.  He always likes to know where she is and who is with her.  I love how much he loves her.  Here are some pictures of them laying around on the big bed.

Fun Afternoon

Look how big my boy looks in these pictures!!  Thanks Oma and Opa for the fun package yesterday.  Alden loves the play-doh and it kept us entertained yesterday afternoon.

A quick update

I'm still working on typing up Leigh's birth story for my own record, but I don't seem to have much time :)  We are all doing well and adjusting to our new schedule.  Alden loves on Leigh all the time, sometimes it a little much and done with a lot of energy but I'm happy he wants her around.  Today I was holding Leigh and Alden was getting into my lap as well when her head flopped and hit his arm.  He said "owie" and then proceeded to wind up his arm to pop her on the head.  I caught him in time, but I can't believe it's starting already.  Leigh is a great baby.  She is content by herself in her chair for long stretches of time and she nurses and naps well.  We're still working on a schedule because right now she just wants to snack all day.  I end up nursing for a few minutes every hour and a half unless she is sleeping then she can go three to four hours in between feedings.  Here's a few pictures from this past week.

Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Leigh Jean Moss!

Hello everyone, this is Patrick subbing for Whitney. We realize it has been quite a while since we last posted and that we have lots to catch up on, but we figured no one would complain if we posted a few pictures of little Leigh before we filled in the rest of the summer. Here we go, all 7 lb 12 oz and 19 inches of her:
