Larsen Week 10 - Oct. 10th-17th

  During this week, Larsen had her two month check up.  She is a healthy, growing baby.  Her stats continue to follow the curve for being 50% on height and a little above 50% on weight:

8/12/11     20.2 inches & 7.1 lbs

9/9/11    21.5 inches & 10.8 lbs

10/10/11     22.5 inches & 11.5 lbs 

Gazing at Daddy...

 Brother & Sister bonding...

 Baking cookies with Mommy...

 Anders wanted to feed Larsen, so he climbed up on the couch and pulled the boppy around him.  I asked him "Are you sure you want to feed Larsen?" And he replied while pointing, "This side"...I was thankful that he didn't pull up his shirt and try to figure it out!

 Mom took this picture of Larsen sitting up...

Honeysuckle Hill Farm

We went to Honeysuckle Hill Farm again this year.  We looked at the farm animals, rode the pumpkin train, watched the air cannon send pumpkins soaring into the air, and took pictures while the sun was setting.  Last year we got such great photos of Anders (some of my favorites), but this year it was tough to get him to cooperate.  We got a few cute ones though... 

 The next five photos capture Anders acting like a boy...

See this pumpkin, watch me...

 Wind it back...

 Bring it up high...

 And release...

 Look how proud he was of his pumpkin throwing abilities...

Larsen Week 9

Here are some cute pictures of Larsen from week 9:

 Wearing an adorable outfit & flower headband that Beth gave her...

Wearing another cute headband (trying to hold back her crazy hair)...

 Baking cookies with Grammie...yummy!

 Playing his guitar -- practiced all day long...

 Back home and on our own...

Earlier I mentioned Larsen's crazy hair...

 I got the brush to try to get it to lay down momentarily for some pictures, and Anders asked to brush her hair.  He was gentle and sweet...

 And this is how it looked...

 Mommy fixed it...

Uncle Chip arrives

Chip flew in from Germany and drove up to Big Canoe to see us.  Then headed back to work the next morning...what a trooper!

 Bath time in Grammie and Papa's walk-in shower...

Uncle Michael, Aunt Julie & Haley meet Larsen

Michael, Julie & Haley drove up for the day to meet Larsen...

 Anders was so excited to get to play and run around with Haley -- not so thrilled to take pictures.  But we got this one with almost everyone smiling...

 Grammie & Haley...

 Haley was such a helper and changed Anders' diaper.  He thought it was funny...

Pumpkins & Apples - Sept. 16th

While staying with my Mom & Dad, my sister Katie came up for a long weekend to be with us.  One morning we headed out to a near by pumpkin farm and then an apple orchard...

 We were trying to find the BIGGEST, most expensive pumpkin...this might have been it!

 I love this picture of Grammie & Anders...

Sweet kisses... 

 Our new little pumpkin...

 Anders marched around the pumpkin farm looking at all the different kinds of pumpkins.
