Awards for Jordan

Jordan received a couple of awards on Thursday.  First was a certificate for perfect attendance.  He hasn't missed a single day of school this year.  This is pretty typical for Jordan.  He's very rarely ever sick.  He also received a certificate of recognition for having a 3.3 GPA for the third quarter.  These pictures aren't the best quality because they're from my phone. 

 Receiving his award..

 Love this kid.  He makes me proud.

Awesome job Jordan!

Goodbye Diapers..

HELLO BIG GIRL PANTIES!!

Delaney probably could have been potty trained months ago, but between being extremely pregnant and then taking care of a newborn, I had no desire to deal with it.  I knew that I wanted her potty trained before I went back to work though.  With that day rapidly approaching I knew I'd better step on it.

 Last Monday we ditched the diapers and I stocked up on panties and mini M&M's. I also bought her a stool so she could reach the sink to wash her hands.

I just love that cute little tush in panties..

We stayed home for three days straight and went back and forth to the potty all day long.  The first day she had three accidents.  The second day she had none!  And the third day she had one when she woke up in the morning and didn't make it to the potty in time.  Ever since then the only accident she's had was when she was playing out back and waited too long. 

I'm so proud of her and also thankful that we now only have one baby in diapers.  I will also say that she was MUCH easier to potty train then my son was.  Way to go Delaney!!

Daddy's Girl

Rob was in a friends wedding last weekend and I snapped these pictures before he left.  This pretty much sums up their relationship.  She adores him.  She's very lucky to have him as her daddy and I hope they always have this special relationship.

Baby Heuer is on her way!

My Bestie Jayme is going to be a MOMMY!!  Baby Leia Adele is due on April 10th and I CANNOT WAIT to meet her!  Jayme and I have already made BIG plans for Adele and Harper to be BFF's.  Her shower was on March 10th and it was phenomenal.  

 

 She could possibly be one of the most beautiful preggers ever.  Love her to death.

 The food and decorations.  The nursery colors are pink and grey.

The adorable banner that Jaymi Jarman made.

 She totally got spoiled and there is no way that Adele will wear all those clothes she got.  She'll seriously have to wear something different twice a day to MAYBE wear every outfit or onesie she received.  

Here's the belly.  So cute!

And the prize I won!  Jaymi J. made these adorable Easter decorations as prizes for the shower.  I won mine for guessing the size around of Jayme's belly with a string of yarn.  Do I know my bestie or what!?

Happy Baby Shower Jayme!  Hope you had as much fun as the rest of us did.  You deserve all the best.  Love ya!

Two Months Old! 03.07.12

Harper Leigh you are 2 Months Old!  I'm a little late, but better late then never.

Baby Stats

Sleep:  You are a champion sleeper!  Since you were 8 weeks old you've been sleeping 8-9 hours EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT.  I'm sure I've probably jinxed myself by saying that, but there it is.  I don't expect you to sleep through the night every night, but you've made me a very happy, well rested mama!

Feed: We have had quite a few problems with your feedings.  We were dealing with a lot of fussiness and gas.  You've had some formula since you were a month old and I've had to switch you to soy, which has made you a much happier baby.  I do still occasionaly nurse you, but it's more for comfort then feeding these days.  Grandma Fisch also brought over some Dr. Brown bottles which also makes a difference for you.

Weight: At your 2 month well check you weighed in at 11 lbs and 15 ozs!  That puts you in the 70% percentile.

Length: You are now 22.5 inches long which is in the 56th percentile.  Big healthy baby!

Diaper size: You wear Costco brand size 1-2

Clothes size: You are wearing size 0-3 months clothes, but they are getting too small.  I pulled out the 3-6 months clothes and they are in your closet ready to wear.

Hair color: Your hair is still a light brown.  It seems a little red or auburn to me at times.

Eye color: Still blue like your daddy's.

Milestone: You smile all of the time now.  You will smile at anyone.  You're such a friendly baby.

Your favorite toy: Your hands for sure.

Firsts:

First smile

First coos

First Valentine's Day

I love you very much baby girl <3

Your Momma..

A First for Jordan

On February 19th Jordan got to go skiing for the very first time!  His Grandma and Grandpa from NC were in town to visit and took him along with them up to Flagstaff.  They met up with the rest of Grandma D's family for the President's Day weekend and from what I've been told stayed in this fabulous vacation home.  I stayed home with the rest of my family.  I thought it would be great for Jordan to get away and have some one on one time with his grandparents.  Plus he's been asking to go play in the snow for quite some time.  These pictures make me so sad that I wasn't there to experience this with him, but I'm so glad he had the opportunity to do it. 

 He went to ski school prior to hitting the slopes.  From what I've been told he did a great job.  He said he had some altitude sickness, but it went away and he was able to enjoy himself.

 Look at my (not so little) man looking like a pro in the snow. 

 Smiling even when he fell down.

Thank you to Naomi and Jenn for taking such good care of him while skiing!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Fisch!

We celebrated Grandpa Fisch's birthday today.  Grandma came over and made a cake with the kids.  Then we had pizza and wings.  Aunt Liz and Uncle Mike showed up too.  It was a nice mid week get together. 

Happy Birthday Grandpa P!
