Alayna

Here are some pictures. They mostly are of Alayna since most people haven't seen too much of her. She is 5 months old and as of her 4 month check up, she weighed 16 lbs. This is very different from Parker. She is so happy and loves Parker. They play... or rather babble to each other. She can roll over both ways but we have to be careful because she ends up across the room. Here are some more pictures.




Alayna loves her daddy, especially when he dances with her.





Doing what she does... happily.


We started her on rice cereal this week but she has developed a nasty rash so we are holding off a bit.


Silly boy who gets in front of the camera

Pictures... Enjoy

Moving on in Life

HAPPY THANKSGIVING


Some exciting news for the Weldon family. No, it's not another baby. I know that is what you were thinking. But Brady got a job. Like a real job. Not a part time one but one of those jobs with benefits that he gets to begin after he graduates in May! He got a job at the accounting firm in Moscow, Presnell and Gage! He starts in June. We are all really excited especially because we wanted to stay here in this area... and now we get to!


Other news... the kids are growing and getting big. I don't think we have any current pictures on the computer. We will have to change that. Alayna sleeps through the night at a whopping 2 months. Parker loves her and tries to play with her. They keep us busy, but they're fun

Alayna Nicole

She is here! Alayna Nicole was born at 10:32 am this morning. She was 6 lbs 9 oz and 19.5 inches long. She's a tiny one but she is 2 weeks and 3 days early. Here are some pictures of her.

Baby news

First off, Parker is growing like a weed and it is so exciting to watch every day. He will be 13 months on Saturday. He loves to read and can recognize some letters of the alphabet. Right now he is having his first slumber party without mommy and daddy at our friend's house in Colfax. As for Brady and I we are in the hospital. I am underway in being induced in order to have my gall bladder taken out ASAP. Contractions aren't bad yet and since there's wireless here... I thought I'd play a little bit and see what everyone is up to. We can put up pictures when she is here.

Where have we been????

Actually, we've been right here in Moscow. Just the internet is disconnected. It is weird how much we rely on it. I think I actually get more accomplished now that we don't have it to play on. Yet, it is so sad that we aren't as up to date with everyone's happenings. Blogging is great. But no pictures this time. I will have to put them online next time... if i remember to bring the camera

Some news with us....

We are growing a garden. We didn't know how to do it so we planted too many squash plants and they are taking over. Our friends got a garden all set up and ready to plant, but at the last minute had to leave for a summer job. They let us plant and try to see what we can grow. So, Jason and Erika.... I think there will be a lot of squash to eat. We will get a picture up asap.

Brady just finished summer school. He has a couple of weeks before he goes back full time. He is a big help around the house.

We have 9 weeks to go until our little girl arrives. I am at the point where traveling is limited. I can go about 2 hours from home but that's it. There are a lot of family events going on in August that we would like to go to but can't make it to.

Other than that... she's growing, I'm growing, Parker is running around and all is well. Hopefully I will get on the ball and post some pictures soon.

Parker Update

Many wonderful things have happened during Parker's 9th month. He started to crawl, got some teeth, learned to dance, and said "all done." Within the last week, right before he turned 10 months, he started to take steps on his own and started ... SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! It is very exciting. It took him a while, but we think that he just didn't eat enough to sustain him through the night. One morning he woke up and was mad that he only had 6 oz in his bottle. We gave him more, and that day he ate 7-8 ounces all day. Then he slept through the night! So now he eats and sleeps and all is well. Below are a few videos that we thought were funny. One of them I took vertically and couldn't figure out how to turn the video around so you have to watch it sideways.

Oh and one more thing.... the house is messy... so don't mind that.


This is Parker dancing to his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse CD. It's his favorite even though we don't have cable and don't watch the show.


This is Parker walking from Brady to me. He doesn't fall at the end even though it looks like it.



This is the one you have to watch side ways. His expression is cute.



And another note... not about Parker... Brady started school this week. Not too exciting, but nevertheless it is something new.
