Jenna, Ryan and Mommy had a fun day at the park on Friday...and then again on Saturday! Yep...two parks in two days!
Here are a few cute pictures from both Friday and Saturday:
Sadly...I have to go back to work this week (on Wednesday). I'm majorly bummed but happy that I still have my Friday's off!! I'm very lucky that I was able to enjoy a nice long maternity leave (over 3 months) with lots of time for me to bond with Ryan and spend more time with Jenna. I guess I can't complain too much!
Jenna wanted to "sit in the tree" in our front yard this evening. What a silly kid! I helped her up there and then, of course, grabbed my camera and started clicking away.
I got a new toy, a Nikon D60, and decided to take Jenna out for a photo shoot to try it out. We had a lot of fun! Here are a few raw pictures from the day.
She tried to resist....but we all know the kid loves to ham it up!
Ryan had his 2 month check up today (he's actually about 10 weeks) and he weighed in at 16 lbs 2 oz!!! I think the other patients could hear my jaw hit the floor from the waiting room. I knew he was a big boy but I can't believe he's only a few pounds away from what Jenna weighed when she turned 1! I put a pair of overalls on him the other day and realized that Jenna wore them for her 10 month picture! Crazy I tell you! The doctor isn't worried and said he was doing just fine. He said we could start giving him a little cereal in his bottle to thicken it up a bit and help him feel full. We go back for his next appointment in 2 months.
I'm a pretty simple person. I love my family and friends. I try to keep my life balanced between work and my personal life. It isn't always easy but I know I'm not the only one out there trying to figure all this out.

Oscar the Dog and Gabby (aka "Buck") the Cat!
Update: Buck the cat's name has been changed to "Buck on Vacation" as she has been MIA for about a year now. We still hope she shows up again one day but it's not looking very promising. She's still in our prayers each night. :(
