Happy Anniversary

Today is our two year anniversary! I can't believe that it has been two years. Looking back it is amazing everything that we have done in that time.........church callings, new jobs, having a baby.......wow so much has changed! I would do it all over again : ) I love my family with all my heart and am eternally grateful for the temple and that we are sealed for all time and eternity. There is nothing better : )

New Video Clips

Happy Halloween

Today we got Navie's Halloween costume made. Tomorrow is our ward's Trunk or Treat and we are finally going to go, well at least I am. Cris has to work. We thought that he was going to be able to go because he has next week off for vacation (which is nice because it is also our 2 year anniversary next week) but they moved the ward activity to the week before. Why they chose to do it the week before Halloween I have no idea but they did. So anyways, today I went over to Grandma Chick's and she made Navie her costume. It was all Cris' idea so I have to give him all the credit. He is really creative and so Navie is going to be a FedEx package : ) She is daddy's special delivery. This is why we really wanted Cris to be able to go so he could wear his uniform and carry her around. I will have to wear a FedEx hoodie to represent daddy : ). Next year she will be a bag of groceries, hehehe!!! : )

We just put it over her head like a onsie and put her head through the neck hole. This way she can stay nice and warm out side since it is made out of fleece. It then Velcros shuts at the bottom : )

Good News at the Doc's Office

Today I had my 6 week check up. The doctor said that for the most part I'm completely healed. He said that things may still be sensitive and hurt every now and then but that should all go away after a few months. I'm aloud to start exercising too. I hope I can get the weight off. Usually I diet to lose weight but since I'm breast feeding that isn't an option. I'm no longer limited in what I can do. Run, jump, sit ups, baths, you name it I can do it : ). He even told me that I could have a v-bac next pregnancy! How cool is that!?! I asked if i could deliver vaginally since I had a vertical incision on the inside and he told me that he didn't make a vertical incision, he made another bikini cut (which is not what he told me in the hospital. When I asked at the hospital he said he made a vertical incision on my uterus). Either way I made sure to be clear and he said yes! That makes me so happy : ). Most people have another c-section after having one before just because its easier to plan around but I think that I want to try a vaginal delivery. Only time will tell. And of course I can't make a post without putting on a picture of Navie so I hope you all enjoy this one....

Big Smile

Here by popular demand......... a video of Navie smiling!!! It took a little encouraging and of course a lot of baby talk but I did get her to smile for the camera. She is still learning and her smile gets better every day. The best smile is at the end of the clip. I hope you all enjoy : )

Apple Harvest Festival

Today we went to the Apple Harvest Festival. It was so much fun. They had lots of things to do and see. They had so many craft stands! I wish that we had time to look at them all : ). I'm as stiff as can be from all the walking. I'm not used to it any more now that I stay at home : ) (I still have a lot of weight to lose. The doctor hasn't given me the ok to start excerising yet). The weather was so nice too. It was a little hot but come 6 o'clock it was pretty chilly.

Here is a charicature of our family that we had done at the festival. Doesn't it match our family perfectly!?!

This is Navie and me checking out the goat at the petting zoo. I think the goat was checking us out more then we were checking him out : )

Navie is doing so well. She has been doing really well with breast feeding. She has always eaten well but I had to use a nipple shield. Today she fed several time without it and didn't have any problems latching on. It was out of the clear blue!!! She just took to it. Hopefully she has completely grown out of it.

Happy Birthday!!!!

Yesterday Navie turned 1 month old!!! Wow is she growing up fast. Next thing you know she will be 1 year old, then 2, then getting married! : ). Well maybe not that fast but you get the idea : ). Today she had her doctor's appointment and everything is going great. She is definitely eating well because she now weighs 7 pounds 15 ounces!!! She has gained 1 lbs. 10 oz in a month!!! I can't believe how big she is getting compared to when she was born. She also grew an inch and now is 20 1/2 in. long. Her next appointment is in 2 months. I don't even want to think about how big she will be then. My little girl is growing up : ) hehehe!
