One foot in front of the other

Big news! Breven is FINALLY walking! Yay! It's so funny because now that he figured it out he wants to walk everywhere. If his legs get too tired to carry him then he walks on his knees. He has also been climbing everything. We keep catching him on top of his toy box, and the other day he crawled up onto the toilet and tried to climb into the bathroom sink. Thankfully I was right there but he is so quick now!

Breven has his appointment with the neurologist on September 22nd that Matt and I are anxiously awaiting. He keeps doing this weird thing where he holds his hand out in front of his face and then shakes his head. The family doctor thinks he may be having tics, which I guess most kids will grow out of with age and is not harmful. It may also just be a weird thing that he does for fun. We have the appointment with the neurologist just to get everything checked out and to check for seizures. We are hopeful that it is just something quirky that he does and is no big deal.

I am now 39 weeks pregnant and impatiently waiting to meet our baby girl. I am not dilated, and I am measuring at 41 weeks. So basically I am huge and not making progress. Matt and I are really hoping we won't have to do and induction this time, but it seems to be shaping up that way. I guess time will tell and as long as she's healthy we're happy. Hopefully we will have another post with some pictures of our princess and SOON!

Our sister in law Kali was nice enough to take some family photos of us before Kyrie arrives. We absolutely LOVE them! Thanks so much Kali!

































Matt, Breven and I decided to have a picnic at Blue Bird Park by our house. Then we walked around down town Isanti and watched the BMX bike races.

Breven decided that he needed to crawl inside of his Lego wagon. Then he got Dad to pull him all over the house!




I am SO cool!


We got to watch Jeff and Laurie's puppy Bella for the day. Boy did she play hard and got super DIRTY! You can see all of her wet fur from playing with Clyde by the pool. She had a lot of fun!


I cant stay awake for one more minute


Last night Matt and I took a walk through one of the parks in St Francis. I love this fountain, so pretty.

Probably one of the last photos of our family of three...
