Richard's Birthday Party

Sunday, we went to Richard's bowling birthday party. It was my first time bowling and I had a blast!

Jordan starts solids!

Jordan started eating rice cereal this week after Dr. Hamilton said he could. He really likes it!

First Time Swinger

While Mama was out with her friends yesterday, Jordan and I went swinging at the beach park with Nanny G. Yes, I was the one who put the sticker on Jordan's face. "He likes it!"

Happy 13th Birthday, Richard!

Today is Richard's 13th birthday. He is a teenager! We went out this week to celebrate at Giovanni's.

4 Month Checkup

Today was Jordan's 4 month checkup with Dr. Hamilton. He is getting BIG! He weighed 12 lbs, 10 oz (2 lbs, 2 oz more than a month ago) and is now in the 10th percentile for weight (up from 5th). He is 24 1/4 inches (25th percentile for height up from 20th) and 16 3/8 inch head circumference (25th percentile up from 20th). He grew 1 1/4 inches in a month!

Dr. Seuss said that he can start having rice cereal twice a day. I can't wait to help Mama feed him!

Pumpkin Patch with Jordan

Jordan's new trick

Jordan holds his own bottle! He grabs for it :)

My brother!

Here he was this morning while playing with mama.....and here I am holding him in bed this morning before I went to school.

Field trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Today, Grace and I went with my school to the pumpkin patch! Mama and Jordan were going to come, but Jordan has been sick so they stayed home. I spent most of my day with Kylie.

We picked out pumpkins and brought them home. I brought one for Daddy, one for me and Mommy to share and a baby pumpkin for Jordan.

We also rode on the train!

"Old" friends..

This morning, we received a surprise text from Michael and Elvia (Elle and Mason's parents). They used to live next door to us, but moved a year ago. They are back for a visit and were at the beach, so we decided to change our plans to go to the Farmers Market and head to the beach. I went and put my bathing suit and dress on....look at my bottoms. The pink belt should be around my waist!

Here I am playing in the sand with Elle...

...and jumping the waves with Daddy.

This week, we celebrated Sophia's birthday (on Thursday), but her birthday is actually today!

And, here are a few pictures of my sweet brother, Jordan....with Daddy and Mommy on a few nights this week when we had friends over. Here he was helping Daddy cook.

Giggling Jordan

From Mama....I caught my giggler on camera the first day he giggled (October 3rd). Funny thing is that it was the exact same age to the day that Gigi giggled.

Elena...

My sweet, dear Elena....thank you for being my friend. You were an incredible mama to your 5 children and a wonderful wife to Mark. Your strength in fighting to stay here with Mark, Xavi and Ivy and all those that love you was awe-inspiring. Your love and support of me during our days of creating our families and then when Eliza died will never be forgotten. I am heartbroken that you are not here anymore....you looked so beautiful and peaceful yesterday. I hope that the reunion with the triplets was better than you would have imagined. Peace.

While we were painting...

Jordan was napping...
