Thanksgiving

We had a great trip to Missouri. Mari had a great time on her first hay ride. She also got to meet great grandpa and grandma Mueller. She had so much fun spending time with Grandpa and Grandma Mueller, Aunties Jill and Karla, Uncles Kurt and Erik and cousins Ben and Emma. She also had her first bath in a sink! Grandma Bonnie helped. We hope that you all had as much fun as we did over Thanksgiving!

Just Hanging Out

I thought that I would send out a few more pictures of Mari and Chubby before Thanksgiving. Mari is growing up so fast. She rolled over yesterday at 7 1/2 weeks! She's babbling and smiling a lot more now. She loves the fan in our room and talks to it everyday. She also loves to "talk" to Grandpa Nordlund. She's quite the charmer to him. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. We'll have pictures up after of her at the farm with Grandpa and Grandma Mueller in Missouri.

6 Weeks Old

Mari is now six weeks old already! We can hardly believe it! She's growing so fast, I'm not sure that Kyle and I really want her to get big! I love this first picture. Luckily she didn't do this for her "real" pictures!

Riding in the Car

Mari is getting to like being in the car a little more. Of course you don't want to have that nuk be out of her mouth too long if you're not sitting in the back with her!

Napping with Daddy

Mari loves to snuggle with her daddy. She usually falls asleep and they spend a lot of time being cozy together!

Mari and Lili

Mari and Lili are going to be great friends. Mari is already sharing her bib with Lili! They have so much fun together. Of course their moms and dads have a good time together too!

Swing!

We decided to put Mari in Lili's swing to see what she would do. She loved it! She actually fell asleep in it. Guess what we're going to get today?

Pictures, pictures and more pictures

Chubby decided that he wanted some attention too. Mari was so happy and giggling that we had to take a lot of pictures! She is such a happy baby. It's amazing to watch her and to realize that she's ours.

Chubby starts to live up to his name!

Chubby is getting, well, Chubbier! We were out for a walk not too long ago and someone who saw Chubby when we first got him made a comment on how he is starting to look more like his name! We still love him!

Grandma comes to see Mari often

Grandma Becky comes to visit Mari quite often. She says that she misses her a lot. Of course Mari doesn't mind when Grandma comes. She gives lots of hugs and kisses!

Happy Halloween

Mariana was a ballerina for Halloween. Her friend Lili the cowgirl came by for a visit.

Baptism

Today was my baptism, October the 15th. We had lots of friends and family come, it even gave us a great chance to get some family pictures. I didn't even cry until it was all over, my mommy and daddy said I did great!

It's my cousin's birthday. Annelise turned 3 and celebrated her birthday with all my Nordlund cousins. We got to eat Barbie cake and my cousins got to hold and kiss me, it was so much fun!
