AJ Loves his Big Sisters!

AJ loves his big sisters! Every morning he sits and "talks" to them. It is so sweet. I just love his face in the first picture, he just lights up when he sees them.

New York Visit

Some random pictures from our trip to New York.

My Grandpa or GG Grandpa as my girls call him. AJ is actually named after his Dad, and oddly enough his dad also had auburn hair!

Kathryn and AJ - sweet picture! She loves to hold him!

Getting so big!

Caroline convincing Papa to play Polly Pockets with her!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving School Parties

So this year is the first year that the girls have been in separate classrooms. With that comes a bit of juggling when it comes to school parties. There is only one Mommy - so Daddy went into work late and we rotated back and forth between the girls classrooms. It is always so fun to be able to see the girls interatct with their classmates. I think it has been really good for them to be separated this year. I can see both of them developing independently, but in some strange way still strengthening their bond. They are growing up so fast!

Like niece, Like Uncle?

I thought this picture was hysterical. Uncle Ron and Kathryn hanging out at Nana's house watching the Bengals. LOVE how they are both laying the same way! So funny!

One Month Old - Nov. 13

Our little man is already one month old!

His one month "stats":

Weight 10lbs 2oz (60%)

Height 21 1/4 (Okay so the kid hasn't grown at all? The Dr. and I agree that the measurement has to be wrong. Especially how he is outgrowing clothing!)

Head 15 1/4 (70%)

Overall he is doing good - his growth was a little slower than expected due to all the feeding issues we've had. He is now on the correct (albeit expensive) formula and as of this week acid reflux medicine. Poor Baby - it has been a little rough but getting much better since we figured out what was causing it.

Halloween Night!

Halloween was so fun this year. The girls are at a great age... so into it! AJ of course slept through most of the action. I am sure next year will be a different story with him!

Chillin' before heading out!

Caroline and her pumpkin.

Kathryn was really into having her picture taken. Can you tell?

So funny.... Papa and his girls!

The Contardo's - Family of Five

Not so happy about the monster suit.

My little Devil and My little Angel.

Heading out....

At our neighbor Carol's house.

With "Baby" Logan. I think the poor kid is going to be called that when he is 18! :)

Devil or Angel - take your pick!

Worn out little monster.
