Nathaniel 2012

Alixander 2012

Catching up...

Its been a while since I have posted.  Life has been crazy the past few months.  Josh and I will  be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary next week 7529 miles apart as we hit the halfway mark of our 2nd deployment.  We have recently returned to Las Vegas as we are now homeowners :) :) :) We are busy getting the house set up and settled in!  Alixander will be turning four the week after that and is growing so fast, both physically and mentally.  He loves the outdoors and nature and animals.  He is very logical and reasons everything out, is always wanting explanations for what he sees or hears around him.  He is a wonderful big brother and continues to be a great helper to Mommy! Nathaniel will be 9 months on the 9th.  Time has truely flown this time around!  He is crawling now and contemplating stairs and furniture as his next obstacle!  He has a wonderful temperament and is overall a very happy little boy.  I have been feeling much better over the last few months now that my surgery issues have been healing and my other health issues are being monitored.  

I will be posting a blog of each of the boys pictures over the last few months so everyone can see how much they have changed!  

5 Weeks

Hoover Dam

We were able to visit the Hoover Dam when my Dad and Tiffanni came out to visit. Was a neat experience and was very cool to take the tour and see how the dam was built and how it operates. Was a beautiful day, weather in the 70s, so was nice to be able to walk around outside. Alixander enjoyed the walk and the underground tour and Nathaniel slept :)

Brothers :)

Bathtime :)

Three Weeks!

2 week stats

Nathaniel's two week appointment went well. He is 7lbs adn 20inches. Doctors are glad that he has gained his birth weight back :) He is a very cuddly baby and content to be held by anyone! He currently sleeps 4-6hours in a row at night and is happy during the short times he is awake :) Alixander is doing very well as a big brother, loves helping and kissing his baby brother. He also tells everyone we meet that Nathaniel is his baby brother and "tomorrow he will grow some more" :)

One Week Old!

So hard to believe Nathaniel has been here over a week already!!! Here are a few pictures from his first week at home.

Best Quote Ever...

Alixander: Hey Mom, Nathaniel is so tiny

Me: Thats because he is brand new

A: Oh, he has some tiny muscles. Not like my big muscles

M: Thats why we need to be careful when we hold him.

A: Ya he has tiny muscles but he has a big heart in him. I love my Nathaniel.

My Brother and Me

Alixander is so excited to have his baby brother here! He told his Grandma Anderson that no one was allowed to hold his brother until he got to hold him first :) He is doing very well having a baby around...still a little rambunctious but always quick to try and comfort Nathaniel when he cries and always looks for him first thing in the morning. He is a great big brother!

Nathaniel Asher

Nathaniel Asher is here :) He was born a little early on February 9, 2012 at 6:10am. He weighed 6lbs 14 oz and was 20inches long. He was healthy despite his early arrival! We are so excited he is here :)

Christmas 2011

Trees and Gingerbread Houses

Alixander and Daddy

Cousins

During our time in Alabama Alixander got to spend lots of time playing with his cousin Haylee. They had a great time playing outside and playing with toys. Was fun to see Alixander interact with his cousin and have such a great time!

Alabama Part 2

We also celebrated Alixander's 3rd Birthday in Alabama!

Alabama

We were fortunate enough to be able to travel back to Alabama for my Dad's AF retirement ceremonies in October. Was such a good time being able to have the whole family together again, even if just for a few days.

Baby Boy #2

Trying to get everything updated before he arrives :) Baby #2 is officially a boy! He is still set to arrive the end of February. This picture is from his 20week ultrasound.

He does not have a name yet but we are getting closer :)

Alixander is very excited for his baby brother to arrive and spends lots of time cuddling with Mommy's belly and talking to the baby. He likes to sign him songs and tells his friends and teachers at school about his baby brother. He thinks we should name him "Alixander's Baby" :)
