Thanksgiving fun

 The week of Thanksgiving I decided I needed to take a few more pictures of Jett as he is really starting to smile.  As with any second child, you never quite take enough pictures so this day I decided to capture our little guy.

 He is really trying to talk to us and grunts just a little less.

 Tanner was feeling left out and asked to have her picture taken too.  SHe actually smiled and didn't give her cheesy smile face.

Tanner loves to push Jett in the swing.  We just have to  be careful she doesn't push him like she likes to be pushed (high and fast).

 This year at Thanksgiving  a little pilgrim and indian graced our feast thanks to Grammie.  She made the costumes which were adorable and the kids loved putting them on.  Notice our pilgrim came with a BIBLE too, she is so spiritual.  Tanner also noticed Micah had a necklace and told Grammie she needed one too.  So Grammie found this cross which completed the outfit.

 We are so proud of our little pilgrim.

A thanksgiving to be thankful.  The table was beautiful and the food was amazing.  Another year to be thankful of all the blessings God has given.

A train ride

 Jay's sister Jenny is here from Romania and on Tuesday she and the cousins took the train from Fresno to Bakersfield to spend 4 days at Grammie's house.  Tanner and Micah were soooo excited to take the train.

 On the platform waiting for the train.

 Here they go

Tanner was a little unsure when the loud train rolled up, but the smile on Micah's face says he had no problems.  I can't wait to hear how they did on the train.

First Play date

 Well last week I was feeling ready to enter back into the world of toddlers and babysitting. A friend of mine just had her second ( a boy too) and I couldn't wait to pay it forward for all the people who helped me out when I had Jett so I asked if I could take Aubrie for the morning.  Tanner and Aubrie are 3 months apart and our boys will be almost 2 months apart.  Aubrie was a blast to have and taught Tanner the art of dress up.  Little did I know Aubrie had perfected the art of dress up and would keep me busy.  She tried on every one of Tanner's dresses at least 2 times and Tanner was happy to follow suit.  This dress was aubrie's favorite and she kept calling it her "married dress".  You will notice the high heals on too, which tanner calls "clip clop" shoes.  Tanner has perfected walking in them and loves the sound of them on the wood floors.

Aubrie smiles soooo cute, if only she would teach Tanner that instead of "cheese" which tanner really doesn't get and it doesn't give her a smile.  We had two cinderella  outfits so they both had to wear one.  Cinderella is Aubrie's favorite princess

Finally got them both to sit down for a few minutes so that I could feed Jett.  I think I am ready to do it again and Jett was very entertained by two girls.  I can't wait for when it will be two girls and two boys at the same time.  I am invisioning dress up princesses being chased by swords and cowboys.

Two month Jett

 Our little guy continues to bless us and we are so thankful for him in our lives for the past two months.  Here is the summary of what our guy is doing:

• Sleeping from 1030 to 5am at night a couple of nights a week
• Trying to smile more
• Sleeps, sleeps, sleeps during the day
• Eatting 5 oz a bottle (not sure Tanner every did that)
• Stays awake for an hour between feedings and naps (usually takes 4 1 1/2 naps a day)
• HE'S A SLEEPER
• Loves to bounce on our knees 
• Loves baths
• Taking some reflux medicine to help throw up less and food stay down
• Loves to follow mommy, daddy and Tanner around the room with his eyes
• Has to weigh almost 12 lbs and already in 3-6 months clothes

LOVE THIS LITTLE MAN

Rare moments of smiling and I captured it on camera

 This is a picture that I totally see Jay in Jett.  Many people say he looks like me but there are expressions or side looks that totally say Jay.

Jett does better at looking at the camera then Tanner does these days.  Tanner would rather play with Jett. But Jett doesn't last long on her lap, she begins to say "too heavy"

I would say I am starting to get the hang of this two kid parenting and I love being a mommy of a boy and a girl.  Both love to cuddle and I feel so blessed to be their mommy.

Halloween Fun

 Carving our pumpkins.  Tanner was in charge of scooping out the seeds that were left after daddy got the "strings"out.

 Tanner had a blast.  We got some carving kit from Williams Sonoma last year on clearance and it was GREAT!!!

Here's the finished product.  

 Our little ballerina.  Tanner looked soooo grown up this year.  I feel like one of those parents that says, "she is growing up too fast".

 This is Tanner saying "cheese".  SHe says it but doesn't smile and hardly looks at the camera when she is saying it.  SHe hasn't gotten the concept that cheese means smile.  If you are noticing the necklace, it is  mine and Tanner loves to wear mommy's jewerly.

 My little girl!

At our Halloween party.  Tanner had so much fun and really got the concept of "trick or Treat" and costumes.  Even two day's later she will pull out a dress and say "costume?"

Tanner with her LOOT

Trying to get a sibling shot.  Jett did what he does best SLEEP!!

We had bought a penguin costume for Jett but since our dear friends sent us this outfit we thought we would put it to good use.

Our little ballerina can't wait to be a real ballerina some day.  Guess we have one more year til we can have her join the Hume class.  At least we have a preview of how cute she will be.

Finally a picture of two

I was down at my parents house and thought what better time to try and get a picture of Tanner holding Jett.  Both were willing participants which will probably be a rare thing.  We couldn't go out and do much because mommy always had to feed Jett so Tanner and mommy had to be creative on things to do.    Today we played photoshoot.

The hardest part is getting Tanner to look at me and not Jett.

Tanner loved holding Jett and amazingly Jett didn't cry at all in his sisters arms.

BOTH Simi-looking yeah.  This ones for the scrapbooking.

Tanner came out with these two boxes on her arms and all these necklaces and it was just tooooo cute.  But when I tried to get her to smile at me she threw me attitude and say "No cheese mommy".  At least I captures her body and how cute she looked.  

I guess the photo shoot is over.  Oh well it was fun while it lasted.  Tanner is blooming with personality and attitude too.  She will mimic me and my sayings and when she gets made at me she uses my own sayings back at me.  Guess I will really have to watch what I am saying now.

A little update

Well Jay and I were trying to be artsy with some pictures of Jett when he was two weeks old and this what we came up with.  Time is flying by as our little guy is almost 6 weeks old but I haven't taken any recent pictures.  How does one juggle a two year old, baby and nursing and having time to capture moments.  My friend Colleen is amazing at it.  I am trying to be better hopefully on Friday when our little guy is 6 weeks I will take some pictures. 

Jett on Daddys little motor cycle.  He did pee all over it as he was not happy being on it. 

A little warmer photo shoot. 

Passed out at night.  

We had to capture this.  Tanner is reading a book to her baby in the swing.  She is a great big sister.
