Things over the past year have been great, we took our first family vacation to disney World in Oct where Aaron and I celebrated our birthdays. Both Erica and Aaron are in gymnastics running around having fun. In the summer I did another triathlon which improved my time by 12 mins the year previous. I have made a job change for the better. Jimmy and I have been enjoying tim with the kids an some much needed adult time when we can. We had to sadly say goodbye to my little babe this year, she was in renal failure and was not doing well. She was a great cat though, having had her since I was 18 she was so friendly especially to those who did not want her by them : ) There are many fun things to come this year- Erica and Mia are in dance together and they have a recital this June. Jimmy and I are going to Las Vegas in April- maybe we will win it BIG- yeah right! Planning on running and possibly doing another triathlon again this summer. Hope to plan a few more small trips this summer. Will update pics soon.jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-58562766833963708602010-01-26T11:55:00.005-06:002010-01-26T12:36:39.178-06:002010<div align="center">Another year has started and so far 2010 is setting up to be a very busy year. We have some big events this year, my little sister is graduating high school- WOW! I can't believe it- it seems like just yesterday she was helping me move into my dorm in IOWA and now she will be moving into her own in the fall. We are all so proud of her, she is going to be a great teacher. Then there are some big weddings this year...lets go in order- May 15th Pam will be getting married to a wonderful man Ryan who makes her so happy. We are so exited for you guys. I am honored to be in the bridal party. It is going to be a great day! Next comes June 26th Amanda will be getting married to Chris, they have been dating for many years now and he asked her to marry him on the 4th of July on the beach during fireworks - in Florida! This is a very special wedding for our family as all 4 of us have been asked to be in the bridal party. We are so happy for them and excited for their special day! October 2nd is next with Jimmy's childhood friend Billy's wedding to Jen this wedding is in Galena. Jimmy will be a groomsman in this wedding. Not to mention all the babies that are going to be born this year congrats to all the expectant mommies out there! Now for the kids- Aaron is now 15 months he is using utensils when he eats, using more words wow I can't believe the difference between him and Erica in the speech dept. he had his check up and he continues along the growth curves 50th % in height and 20th% in weight. He is running around chasing Erica starting to take his toys back from her, jumping, dancing also climbing on tables- YIKES!. It is so amazing to see him learn something new or when he gets excited the smile on his precious face. With the snow we had he loves to shovel-and he is good at it. Erica is 30 months now and she had a growth spurt I had to go out and get some new jeans the ones I bought in fall are looking like floods! She is still my little peanut though! Her speech has improved drastically over the last few months, she is repeating everything lately- we need to be more careful now! Playing pretend with her dolls, dancing, and she just stated gymnastics last week- the girl did 5 pull ups on the bar - WOW! Here are a few pics- little old some from xmas.</div><div align="center">Here are the kids at breakfest with Santa</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431116871321771874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijvVjqGf7tmKmYB32akpvjf1pRkFniwAWkn4kNfSGNvbsgvTttLA8LLtMFTbqN_Wrtp0mNjy8SY4lLr2p8a-Iefg7ydrJQ_c-00_wghYKjJsEY62S9NnviU1jkVeWHxvjWaMTI2LBFBnAz/s320/DSC_0207.JPG" /></div><div align="center">Erica by the tree on xmas eve</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431116845930543602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGApVvLavml60LHR-pkgj697Kwp6b7T8KyPYh7-QnMAlXPvOYHvpM8GGkMaxghKsMd9sbS6jEGr12jliuIT26lZuYVDzWDjkOkXVqHO4XFq2j1pu-oyXsrt1K13Rc_RCrdkgBke42mxuqc/s320/DSC_0265.JPG" /></div><div align="center">Aaron by the xmas tree xmas eve</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431116834720922306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB5JCwtyDlJBZGSx8OuB_k_wyvf_5R0aeJe2sePrM3B9TYQ1Le34scyWZ7yle3W7wdBUfwY0pTAtSoe-TVYExym8HJ0jOKcHC42Ve9ze08kd5ZJcL3Taz58bRV3hln2dAAQA15KgShy5zu/s320/DSC_0261.JPG" /></div><div align="center">Erica pulling Aaron in the sled</div><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431116859995359090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMM-fbtdeu_m2cK0X5I52SPbKynQoCaY5J-5iFCF1uUBKS4B1plVJDykTLV8vQ8iRrosLhgrQ3dkoBvvY9Xx6IKC1QZhWFPcDtwOwiCw6T7patkQ4hBzrjB_gby_nzkEA7jXR-jla4dmlr/s320/DSC_0431.JPG" /></p><p align="center">Aaron doing awesome at shoveling!</p><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431116853368747666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5V9hL872l1jG_Dq2rjDoow5wqnBM115QzaIY4enCkU2MzGk8jL3KPcaq4tY88Or21YMXDJDGahp_SR76rIv0W9UJ9GAiKkmt94sTnRINbaYKP4BlavIv7yua4u6010vxg5nQPRAkNLKio/s320/DSC_0423.JPG" /></p><p> </p>jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-56076005316945213382009-12-20T10:09:00.002-06:002009-12-20T10:24:15.292-06:00Holidays 2009Merry Christmas to everyone! Things here at the Laskey household have been busy, Aaron is 14 months today wow where did the time go. I can't even express how fast he is growing not only physically but he is talking...he says everything from mommy, daddy, to Ellie and Sandy ( our sitters name) M & M ( Erica gets for going potty) , ball, bye bye. He is running, climbing and has the cutest though very mischievous smile. When we visited Santa he did not scream though from his facial expression I bet he was wondering " who is THIS" ! <br />Erica is almost 2 1/2 and she too is amazing me everyday. She has been doing well with potty training she wears big girl panties now except for sleeping. She does have an accident but not often. Erica was very excited to santa this year, she knows he is "watching her" to see if she has been good. She asked Santa for baby Elmo- I hope she gets it! She has been so into christmas this year, she loved decorating the tree- while Aaron of course tried to take the ornaments back off! We had a cookie exchange and she loved baking with me- we have cute holiday aprons! <br />As for Jimmy and I it has been lots of work, lots of shopping, and lots of playing with the kids. Yesterday there was a point where I truely felt the xmas spirit,the xmas music playing in the background while Jimmy and I were finishing the cookies, the kids were dancing I just looked up and felt so happy I just had to watch how cute they looked.jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-30734232792777041482009-08-16T16:31:00.003-05:002009-08-16T16:41:04.708-05:00time is flying by...Can't believe that the summer is almost over- it is just starting to get hot! We have been super busy this summer and it does not look like the fall is going to let up. Before I know it I will need to start xmas shopping _ YIKES- So updates, well this week Aaron will be 10 months, he is all about food he will still eat his baby food though he loves big boy food. He eats anything from beef, turkey meat to chicken, all veggeis and fruits he likes cake which we have had at a few birthday parites and he had a donut today! He is cruising and standing- I think he will be walking before Erica who was walking at 13 months. He has great Giggles like his big sister! He is getting his top two teeth in now which are causing some pain though overall he is a happy baby! I cant beleive I have to start planning his first bday soon. Erica is doing awesome too, she loves to read she will sit on her chair and read her books on her own, she likes to do flashcards - of course me telling her what is on them. She does all kinds of building with her blocks or tea party play. She loves pushing her baby in the swing or pushing in the stroller. Aaron is just trying to keep up with Erica. <br />As for Jimmy and I we are trying to keep the kids under control most of the time. It is great when we see them playing together for a few short minutes where Erica is not ripping a toy out of Aarons hands! A glimpse into maybe the next year where they will begin to play together better. I have done 3 triathlons this summer - my first summer doing them I have one left on 8-31-09 will be in chicago, then I need a break from cardio- maybe do more pilates or weights- my legs are killing me! will try to update with pics next timejimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-43722178791293655242009-07-15T20:54:00.005-05:002009-07-15T21:15:21.428-05:00summertime<div align="center"><div><div><div><div><div><div>So we have had a good summer thus far, trying to enjoy the nice days. We have gone on a bunch of walks, bike rides, zoo trips here are a few pics from the 5 k we did in June the Heart for Life this was our first time doing it but Becky and the girls have been doing it for a few years now, and it raises money for heart disease and is great for awareness. Jimmy pushed Aaron and I pushed Erica for the race, of course jimmy beat me by 8 mins. oh well! We went to the arboretum which I have not been too before and it was great, Erica had a good time!

He has progressed so much this past month I can't believe he is only going to be 9 mos. We did have his appointment this week as well with Erica and like his sister he is maintaining his growth at 28 7/8 in 25-25% in ht and then 18.3oz 10-15%. He has been eating his foods well and trying table foods like chicken, waffles, pancakes, bananas, watermelon etc. He is doing a lot of babbling and making noises with his tongue, he has his two bottom teeth, poor little guy did not like teething. He is pulling up standing, walking along furniture and now he has mde it all the way up the stairs! he tried to turn around and go down head first though - YIKES! Way to much mobility for such a little guy, I was hoping to not have to worry about walking until closer to a year but who knows! Here is our little stinker by the stairs.<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358869941322509506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidsnz8Mgc7Wh1TvW32LBRD336dS5ojVcc_BB3Yef-aOHXM5kq9_arzrmKOn8lMRsd97fiyDbOrS87C1C8Djyu9CHaERKIbWbAfBuZPsfIpaDqtETT3bZeTS__NUdCCLC6vfHiAhsBDFuDa/s320/DSC_1311.JPG" border="0" /></div><br /><p>we went for a short bike ride after doing some adjusting of the helmuts, aaron did not like the bumps so erica held his hand- so cute!</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358869944137433522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDzcl-iHEGGxfl2lV1efEVMVK2CFnb9_CvuOaI91isHLTobJ2gNitCoTUNq3-PHKtb6NdTcZGnl21viKWEVPWxjz4rQirePIWN5ertm6NHHzwXm2sUvbZQthH-T-DYS4RwwbkfB_t7sMtW/s320/DSC_1330.JPG" border="0" /></p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358869948834340194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkJ-QrbQP-xNQeWy2Voqa6sOa2CB78R9RmYDMsXmdPblrxMDgrZv8_4aQHKSfl0S-ZD5IjPoZL6B6H3NAc32TJmmIdLN8L8lyqt1Du7vEM1PuFTEwqHs3rwDz06J3gBN7I8utyQTOB4Ngg/s320/DSC_1233.JPG" border="0" /></p>jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-8355460718946628512009-07-15T20:19:00.005-05:002009-07-15T20:44:31.419-05:00Erica 2 years old<div><div><div align="center"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Erica is now 2, happy birthday to you!

First off I did my first triathlon this month in naperville, it was a goal I had set for myself and while it was tough I did enjoy it of course once it was finished :) I am doing a coupe more this summer. As for Jimmy he is busy with working he had to work a few weekends this month as well. We are doing the Heart for life 5K this sunday as well. we will both have a jogging stroller with Erica and Aaron but now that AAron is getting so big I don't know which will be less wt to push!<br />So I am sure you want to hear about the kids not us, Erica is almost 2 yr old! My gosh I can't beleive it...She is starting to act like a two yr old for sure throwing her little tantrums. So is using her imagination with her tea sets and baby dolls. She likes artwork, mostly with a pen which drives me crazy, she has tons of crayons! Her favorite sentances are "no mommy no", and "have a good day". She is hysterical though her little laugh just makes you laugh with her. Aaron is now 8 months and oh my god, all boy! He is pulling himself up and walking along things now which to me seems young. He is doing his army crawl still though Erica did that for a long time too. He will fall like all kids but it does not seem to phase him, he just gets back up and gets back to the toy he was plaing with. I have not gotten his wt since he was 7 months but I can tell you have does not feel that much lighter than Erica! He is a good eater and getting to be a good sleeper as well. <br />We have taken the kids to the pool a couple times now, Aaron is not to happy about the pool especially in the first few mins warms up to it a little. Erica of course loves being in the water and she keeps playing with her buckets and shovels. I think it is time to do some swim lessons for the both of them. <br />I will update some pics soonjimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-46123141267973444292009-05-11T19:53:00.003-05:002009-05-11T19:59:41.939-05:00black tie<div><div><div align="center">Well this past weekend we were invited to a black tie party in Chicago by our friends Karen and Chris. It was so much fun, we got all dressed up and Grandma and Grandpa Laskey watched the little ones for us! So a night out with all adults was nice, we had a few drinks, good dinner and of course an awesome selection of desserts- there were a few different dessert stations including Eli's cheesecake and melting pot chocolate fountain. Here are a few pics from the night thanks to Karen.<br /></div><div align="center">Jimmy and I</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334735592211537922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpgymr4imOGoWU6Gt2J8TLYC-QgKejtZ6YErnYyQb69jtY8lZy99mY0TMukg3YPfXmAN7ZBhp6766OVdVjG-S7wpVinIwqotxFgE4J2Qzv2Ki80qvx-dsXgv1u0QYGdg7D1GC9Osj2VjZn/s320/Black+Tie+Event+2009+003.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334735588069893730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LMGhzzsz_hY-LH_pGcfyPOfdbd4sb4D5AQWC6x9IZO1hmv61YLOc2fLNeCFvq0812eL9UDpqnMfD5LcsQ3rWm9KfWioZhX0_Kq8VMXylvJ4xcLzSV5e7IQOSWrXTJkD5LuJDUZcbwVCM/s320/Black+Tie+Event+2009+010.jpg" border="0" /> <div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">Karen and I</div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334735576860205730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsAM6_6VkbAk7JX_g-jDmge6799Vl8MlX14mOHJqAtSGXEHVqQOSJwdo9snzyT8Dd7orznmAq2Sg1arQK053T3o4cFJekD21_TAWt-Vyu5fWzKDuwOuwTO1OiEEobi_HtQXopfgppZ7fK0/s320/Black+Tie+Event+2009+008.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-19760279607573894432009-05-03T19:47:00.006-05:002009-05-03T21:05:22.341-05:00wow! its been awhile<div><div align="center">So it has been a long time since I have updated! Aaron is now over 6 months he had his appointment a couple weeks ago. He has maintained his weight in the 25% at 15lb 11oz and his height was 40% at 26 in. He is doing well and eating well! He is swaddle free and has been since that appointment but it did not come easy, poor Aaron had to get used to sleeping without it for a couple nights before bedtime came easy. So now Aaron and Erica are both down between 7-730 and it is nice to have out nights back! Though Erica has started a new trend of waking up at 6 am especially on the weekends! Aaron is sitting up and even getting on his knees wanting to crawl though we can wait on that for awhile.....Erica is taking a break from activities this month and we will most likely start swimming this summer. She is using more words these days but she loves to sing, we are not sure what she is singing but it is so cute, she sings to Aaron when he cries in the car sometimes. As for Jimmy and I we are learning how to get things done with two kids and it is getting somewhat easier thank goodness that we have eachother. I am still training for the triathlon one in June and Chicago in Aug. hopefully losing some of this babyweight. Here are some random pics.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331774807064865954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand;

Of course it was beautiful which made it even better! Things here are still crazy as ever- Erica's gymnastics is winding down though she has two classes left, I think we will try swimming then maybe enter gymnastics at 2 she will be at a different class then. Aaron is doing well he is eating oatmeal well and we have started to add some formula to his bottles at Sandy's since he is now eating more than I am pumping at work. Still trying to figure out how to get him to sleep without his swaddle. I have taken my first step into the triathlon sport...I did an indoor tri this weekend at lifetime. I was very proud of myself in the under 40 group I was 13 out of 25...not bad for my first time and just under 5 mos of having Aaron. I better get a move on though I have signed up for the Naperville womens in June and chicago in Aug.jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-4781647428012376362009-03-08T19:52:00.003-05:002009-03-08T20:19:10.387-05:00misc....<div align="center"><div><div>Well we know Erica is a Laskey- here she is having her first very own OREO- and of course as predicted - she LOVED IT!<br /></div><div>She was not sure what to do at first but she soon figured it out!!<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310988720726490178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGXq_UxcwwLSFntBq8jolMbobsjiaiINjIj4U7GFT0jAU4YjMF3jJBJrLCbB4IBcYh6u9OTCCv2aDe4hD0OTT6Sn4BmTAb_UZ1VaZrnMQx1KO7NRod8wu80j6z30GE78-l-P58tghL1dRt/s320/DSC_0374.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310988726736548626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKjnLhrc8_UfEXv2944AmDrSbe42zkLBTJro6BDyB8KI7cp8mB9CtAxMjiG7_yPYb9cfNi5Wdu6l-1EhTXjr0xGZsR27s3q8IRi-diRykfLRyVWzXl8oHkgZQLcuHc1oyY9ue2DKy4ZBqi/s320/DSC_0378.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div>Aaron has been doing well sitting in the bebe pod and now in his exersaucer!

Things have been busy here to say the least!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">So here it goes at Aarons 4 month appointment we got shots of course, though he did well he cried for 30 secs max and then he ate some milk which made him forget about his little legs. He was given the green light for rice cereal which we have since started. Difficult in the beginning though he is getting better and we are going to up it to twice a day soon, now that he knows to get his tongue out of the way forthe spoon! Sleep is another issue- he has started to go to sleep aroung 730-8 after Erica and he is doing pretty well though he wakes up at 1-2 to eat then goes back to sleep maybe til 630ish. We tried to put hi down for a nap without the swaddle and that was a nightmare- he screamed the entire time...maybe we will keep the swaddle for a little longer. Next are his measures...He maintained 50th % with height being 25in though dropped in his weight from 50th to 25th% he was 13bs and 14 oz. He is still a big boy to me! </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Aaron before we gave him rice</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310983912828153570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFP554pAqhrmdEIJ4tsIQvkcMhdWc-oy-bVIeA4hspOzO32cu7_ufB6_VmbyH2pPnh3Ubm5bFby-ZlArmr8lwQQpUAb1-5-lhCQCI9oGrWMdim_CzS9SVTbWjHYgaZxW58090NtIi3NjEO/s320/DSC_0432.JPG" border="0" /></div><div align="center">First bite!</div><div align="center"> </div><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310983923212231026" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnn0zyS7UYbT_Aji4xcG11I-Ma2XY-WB44O4cEo3ZVjHEYXObrc1Ph7xCN41pB1Z6XCO_BkTj6pR20qK6oHlNvGPfuh2Yvbl_OXsZ1g0FDUrTQqu46jUE0Mxpjiqp1P-d_9aeGMUkSJNEW/s320/DSC_0436.JPG" border="0" />Yeah!</p><p align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310983925463449730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmegjuBYY6CFij2Ssi8whUor9A8T3dk8y3JObwLa7Vc5icDsGK8AIOLYhJM-hFPlanN8ic2M8npzo9iMaNbEb7TVSTRKJ1hn1ZAHGwzpPkAJL8vZ_0_0GRa7XNsQl68dXDW3Kv6JuQzNai/s320/DSC_0441.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center"> </p>jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-89086784515032177442009-02-17T18:18:00.004-06:002009-02-17T18:25:12.788-06:00new picsHere are a couple new pics that I took about 2weeks ago...It is very difficult to get them to cooperate these days, Erica won't sit still for more than a feew seconds and I hope that those seconds are looking and smiling at the camera....Then Aaron he is still wobbly so it is hard to get him to look at the camera too. Aarons 4 month appointment is friday so will update then. We have brought up the exersaucer though and hopefully be putting away the swing soon.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303926398625290034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFpPUJKb8vddVOW_4aP6AnY3Ij73iU1GzxMOwjs24gQsXlAFtwY-FCeBeI6gj-UL1GPR4s3dL4TW_9SNGblv9CT2NscRLkxlwwZthZYC1Rz3b10lAqYSUy-Sx5361WnNPUFV5t8ZFOXnc/s320/DSC_0315.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303926396984874338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0WpgWDGf0-f0CxrQXEVwwRBRQqyDL1c2dG7obXOrstux7pyFNRMeJNlE7ecwDrRQu5M3cMV3pODH7juTlLt730s0IuSwpHxvQpZrMxh5z80XAG1qAogjSj3Pr1dsNeQW95-8K45Rfdpuu/s320/DSC_0323.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303926392920212306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6oI09v8WfU89-7fjxAHj4qGbOmIWjB6uX54-nNpY0vWhbmYkfDyReSsnc857QM-AmO7-NYhEZxX1KBBxM2UBCi2_N4n6RjqhBJ8TpKzlEO-cydZkSMfmz0ZdStnMX9B26_miTqW_OVmz/s320/DSC_0335_edited-1.jpg" border="0" />jimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-74741300921439101092009-02-06T14:57:00.003-06:002009-02-06T15:09:06.443-06:00updateWell things have been busy here since the last update! I have been super busy now back to work and finding time to do anything extra is tough. Aaron is doing well he is alomost 4 months and I can't wait till we can start some cereal for him...he went through a growth spurt last weekend that just about killed me! He eats so much more than Erica ever did it is amazing. We have put him in the bebe pod and he likes it, grandma got him a little ferris wheel type toy that we stick to the center and he reaches, graps and spins it. He is doing well with tummy time as well. We have his 4 month appointment on the 20th of this month - I can't wait to see how much he has gained! Aaron is sleeping better recently though we are going to need some ear plugs soon because he is not a good nap taker- (just like Erica)<br />Erica just turned 19months and she is sleeping well- usually 7-7 though sometimes more like 730 recently to go to bed. She is talking more and becoming more interested in her potty chair which is reassuring! She oves her gymnastics class runs and plays so well- I am glad we enrolled her again. She gets to play with a few of her frieds as well John, Dylan, and Brie are all in her class too! Erica just saw a cardiologist yesterday because she had a murmur. Well see was a champ because she had an EKG and ECHO done and she did awesome sitting still for the MD. She has a muscular VSD- VSD is a ventral septal defect and hers is tiny....so it will not affect her in any way and there is a chance it can still close on its own. we don't have to go back for a f/u with him for 3 YEARS! <br />I will have to post pics soon have to sort through the many that I have takenjimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-42441060162983618452009-01-21T19:23:00.003-06:002009-01-21T19:34:15.027-06:00playdate<div align="center"> <br />It has been awhile since updating,I have gone back to work so I am trying to find the time to get anything done these days.

He is weighing in at 11 lbs and 13oz now and is 22 in long both in the 50 %, this is so different from Erica always being in the 10th or 25th %. So he is growing well. We discussed the sleeping issues and until he is rid of the colic we really can't start sleep training, nor until he consistently is giving us a good 6 hours a night sleep. So the swing it is for a few more weeks but when mommy goes back to work he needs to be in his own bed- He did well with his shots yesterday though he was not sleepy he was up and cranky most of the night. He is sleepy today though- Have a good christmas everyonejimmynvenessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08216802376251993306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961370994205400996.post-39588068859220917742008-12-17T15:21:00.001-06:002008-12-17T15:24:41.548-06:00Aaron swinging<div><div align="center">Like I have said in the past Aaron loves his swing, he is getting so much better though about being on his playmat, he is blowing bubbles and giving us some smiles as well.
