Choo Choo!

Yes, Grandma's been shopping again! She keeps our boy looking so stylish! This is his Christmas sweater vest. We are so thankful for all of the darling clothes!

Merry Christmas everyone!

All Aboard!!!

As a little girl, my grandparents often took me to new and interesting places. Several times, they took me to The Trains at Northpark. I remember the experience very fondly and wanted to start a new tradition with Ian. When Matt came home from work Thursday, I tossed out the idea of taking Ian first thing Friday morning to see the trains. Matt thought it was a good idea so we set out early for Northpark Mall. Ian really enjoyed the trains but seemed a bit overwhelmed with all of the people, lights and noises. He did very well though and didn't mind being held by Matt. He didn't ask to get down or anything!!! Hopefully, we can continue the tradition with Ian and our baby girl. How fun!

Oh Christmas Tree...

This will be Ian's second Christmas, and we are really excited! He can do so much more than he could last year. We really wanted to have our tree up, but we knew that Ian would want to touch the ornaments. I put some "kid friendly" ornaments down low so he could touch them. I turned the tips of the branches so that he wouldn't be able to pull the ornaments off. He just says "pretty" and points at everything. It is so fun to watch him enjoy the lights too!

Baby Girl Hinckley

I thought I would share some updated pictures of our little baby girl. I am currently 23 weeks pregnant and these were done at 21 weeks. She is quite the mover! I remember Ian being active, but she seems even more so. So far everything is going very well. I have gained 15lbs, which I am happy about. I was worried about gaining a ton of weight, but so far I am right within the normal range!
