Natalie's Well Check

Smile Natalie!

Practicing her sitting

Natalie is 6 months old already! Today she weighed 19 pounds, 13 ounces and

was 27 inches long. That puts her in the 90% for her age. She also got her first shots today-4 of them, and took it like a pro.

The doctor did discover that Natalie has a significant heart murmur. We will see a cardiologist next week to rule out anything dangerous, and they will most likely do an ultrasound. The pediatrician reasured me that is is nothing life threatening, and that Natalie is fine to wait for the appointment. It is most likely a small hole between her ventricles, which is not uncommon, and will most likely close on it's own. I will keep you updated on our little one. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Halloween

This was the first year we have gone trick-or-treating. Jeremiah was a pro, yelling, "TRICK OR TREAT!" and striking up conversations with people. He told several people, "That is not enough. I need MORE candy." Eventually he learned to just say thank you. One lady had two dogs, and Jeremiah asked if he could see them. She happily obliged him. Rock Star

Isaiah, on the other hand, thinks Halloween is kind of silly! He doesn't like dressing up, because he thinks he looks goofy...but I think he kind of likes it. He also doesn't eat the majority of the candy he got, so basically he got candy for Matt and I. Although he was very excited when one lady was giving out pudding cups and Teddy Grahms!

His switch said trick or treat and thank you!

Jeremiah keeps asking if we can go for another walk and get candy. I tried to explain that that is just one day a year...but I think I'll get to explain that every time we go outside!

Fall Fun

Traditional "Field Trip Friday" at Fall Harvest Orchard in Delano, Minnesota

Little Sophers watching baby cows that go "Moooo!"

Annie and Isaiah petting the bull calves. They cut pumkins in half and feed them to the cows. It is hilarious to watch them slurping up the seeds and eating the rinds!

Jeremiah driving the tractor. The owners of this orchard are a local couple who run this farm year round. It is free and you can get up close and personal with all their animals. It was a blast to visit. We went twice this year, the second time with the Annie, Sophie, Brianna and Emily.

Grandma and Isaiah getting corn in their pants. There was even a sign that said, "If you get it in your underwear, take it home with ya!" I still find corn in the lint catch of our dryer!

Emmy and Brianna causing a rucus.

"BURY HIM!"

Natalie enjoying the corn crib.

Annie said she had never seen a pumkin this tall before!








"Come on Sophie, let's walk in the pumpkins!"

This little piggy stayed home . . .

Three cute chicks!







Listen for the cow mooing in the background! Isaiah battles the goats for his shoes and Jeremiah gets up close and personal. I hope you enjoyed the pictures. We sure had a great time!
